Keeping your spa and hot tub safe and secure: A simple guide

Key Theme: Increasing Value is increasing the  Theft Risk of Hot Tubs

• Hot tubs are increasingly popular and valuable, making them attractive targets for theft.
• While rigid hot tubs are rarely stolen, inflatable spas are more vulnerable.

Important Ideas:

• Property Security: Secure fencing, locked gates, and storing ladders/tools are basic security measures.
• Deterrents: Motion-sensor lighting and CCTV systems can deter thieves. Remote viewing capabilities and recording features are recommended for CCTV systems.
• Data Protection: CCTV usage must comply with the Data Protection Act, especially when capturing images of individuals beyond the property boundary.
• Recovery Aids: GPS trackers discreetly placed within the hot tub can assist in recovery if stolen. Photos of the hot tub, including its serial number, are also crucial for reporting the theft.
• Securing the Hot Tub: Always secure cover straps when not in use, and consider lockable lids for added security, especially during extended absences.
• Reporting Theft: Report any theft to the police and consider using the BISHTA National Hot Tub and Spa Theft Register.
