Message: [QUOTE="QuickDraw, post: 3238975, member: 10020"] A friend of mine installed a ductless system at the opposite end of his deck relative to his hot tub about 20' apart, the water that would drip below the deck from normal use and the chlorine vapor must have been drawn in to the condenser rotting out the thing in 3 years. Around the corner and it being set on a pad should be more than fine to keep the vapor from getting there, in the case I noted the air was being drawn from under the deck which was the cause of his problem. I agree with placing on a pad for longevity but a 6" pad of pea gravel would still provided a solid base with great drainage at a great price point and can be removed easily if down the road you decide to do away with the tub. search, how to set hot tub on a bed of pea gravel. for more info on advantages [/QUOTE]
