I’m Moving - Can I Take My Aquavoss AV-1 or AV-2 With Me?Updated a day ago

Relocating your Aquavoss unit is very doable with the right preparation and handling. Whether you’re moving across your backyard or to a new home, this guide will walk you through the key steps to ensure everything goes smoothly.

Overview

Your Aquavoss unit is built with a durable stainless steel frame and designed to be serviceable, which makes moving it a straightforward process when done correctly.

Most customers choose to hire professional movers experienced with hot tubs to make the process easier and safer.

Step 1: Hire the Right Movers

We strongly recommend working with professional hot tub movers in your area.

These teams are equipped to handle:

  • Tight access points
  • Proper lifting techniques
  • Safe transport of large, heavy units

Typical cost: $400–$600 depending on distance and complexity.

Step 2: Remove the Chiller (Cold Plunge Side)

This is the most important step.

  • The chiller must be disconnected and removed before transport
  • It must always be kept upright during the move

Keeping the chiller upright prevents internal damage and ensures proper operation once reinstalled.

Step 3: Secure the Front Cabinet Panel

When your unit was originally delivered, the front cabinet panel was secured with 4 bolts.

  • These bolts are often left out during normal use to allow easy access to filters for maintenance
  • For moving, we recommend reinstalling these bolts to secure the panel

If you no longer have the bolts:

  • You can temporarily use bolts from the other cabinet panels (which are still fastened) during transport

This helps prevent shifting or damage while the unit is being moved.

Step 4: Prepare the Unit

Before the movers arrive:

  • Drain both the hot and cold sides completely
  • Disconnect all power
  • Remove any loose accessories (filters, covers, etc.)
  • Ensure all panels and components are secure

Step 5: After the Move

Once relocated:

  • Reinstall the chiller (keeping it upright during setup)
  • Reconnect power
  • Refill the unit
  • Check for any visible leaks or loose fittings before startup
