Folks, I've bit the bullet and have ordered a hot tub. I'll have to have someone come out and run electricity for it. And I'd like to do it before the patio is poured. How do I prep to install electricity into concrete?

hello kitohouston,
what we do is run pvc conduit under the slab in the sand, im assuming this will be a 4 " thick slab. if your hot tub is 50 amps or less install 3/4 pvc if over 50 amps install 1" pvc. u may want to contact the persion that will be doing the wireing and ask them what they would pefer you to do, they may want to run the pipe themselves
