Hot tubs in Mission

Buying a hot tub in Mission

Mission homeowners can compare tubs in person at our showroom at 5778 Production Way in Langley. Bring photos of your yard, the side access and your electrical panel, and we'll help you narrow it down: a 2–3 person tub, a 4–5 person tub, a 6–8 person tub, a swim spa or a cold plunge tub.

A lot of Mission homes look out over the Fraser River from the hillside, and a hot tub on a deck with that view is a popular plan. It's also one that needs a deck built for the weight, so we'll talk about that early.

Installing a hot tub in Mission

Much of Mission is built on slopes, especially in Cedar Valley and the neighbourhoods above the river. A tub needs a level, solid base, which on a slope can mean a deck, a retaining edge or some excavation. Newer subdivisions often have narrow side yards, while rural properties toward Silverdale and Stave Falls can have long driveways and soft ground. On the site check we measure the access, look at the spot and your panel, and tell you whether the tub goes in on a cart or needs a crane.

See hot tub pads and bases for concrete, paver and gravel options, and decks and gazebos for tubs on decks or under a roof. The electrical permit comes from Technical Safety BC; our hot tub electrical page explains the circuit and the disconnect.

Winter in Mission

Mission's hillside neighbourhoods and the areas toward Stave Falls can get colder nights and more snow than the valley floor. A tub that's well insulated and kept covered holds its heat through that, and running costs stay reasonable. If you plan to stop using the tub for the winter, it has to be drained and closed down properly so water left in the lines doesn't freeze. Our maintenance guide explains how, and our maintenance visits can do it for you. For an idea of what it costs to keep a tub hot, see our guide to hot tub running costs.

Water in Mission

Mission's water is soft. It keeps clear easily, but water that's low in calcium can foam and be harder on heaters and pump seals, so most owners raise the calcium hardness after each fill. Our water care guide explains how.
