Does anybody have any hot tub knowledge?

I'm thinking of putting a hot tub on my back porch. I rent so I can't do anything that permanently alters the back porch area.
All I have out there is a plug on the outside wall. Would this be enough? Do they make models that don't need a lot of stuff in order to work?

Unless its a hot tub rig in your back yard, I dont think you would be able to get one. I had to have additional water pipes and elecrical work done to get the tub in my back yard. Plus, depending on your state laws you may need some sort of heat/energy regulator on it which you get through your local electrical company.

My friend has a hot springs hot tub, ran on 120 volt power. no extra wiring, or plumbing necissary.
It worked damn good till he left it filled over the winter and the ice cracked a pipe...
but i think that you could do it.
the question i have for you is this, are you on ground level?
hot tubs are heavy enough on their own, and then you add the water which is 8 lbs a gallon.....
if you were on a balcony style porch it might just collapse...

yup, gotta make sure the patio or whatever has enough support where you plop the tub down.
my dad rebuilt the patio in our yard when he installed the hot tub. i had to help him install the beams that spread the tub's weight across the supports.
