Common Questions
How is the Retreat different from the Retreat Duo?
Same shell, same 47 jets, same 433 gallons. The difference is the seating layout. The Retreat has one lounger and seats 6. The Duo trades a seat for a second lounger, so two people can recline at once, and it seats 5.
How is it different from the Haven?
All three are SB Series tubs with two 4HP pumps. The Retreat models are bigger: 93" square and 433 gallons with 47 jets, against the Haven's 83" square, 345 gallons, and 40 jets.
How is it delivered?
By freight, in a crate, curbside. The carrier calls to schedule an appointment and unloads at the end of your driveway or the nearest accessible point. Moving it to the slab is your responsibility, so plan help or a spa moving service. The Retreat Duo fits through a standard 40" gate.
What electrical work is needed?
A dedicated 240V, 60 amp GFCI circuit with 4 wire #6 AWG copper, hardwired by a licensed electrician. Runs over 75 feet may need heavier wire. Sunbelt states improper wiring voids the warranty, so have this done before delivery.
What foundation does it need?
Sunbelt recommends a 4" concrete slab with 3/8" rebar on a 16" grid. Any other foundation should be approved by a qualified contractor or engineer. For decks, the structure must support at least 95 lbs per square foot. Leave 38" of clearance on the equipment side and 24" around the rest for service access.
What does it cost to run?
At 5.5kW and the national average electricity rate, the heater costs roughly $1.00 per hour at full draw (heater size is a manufacturer estimate). A covered tub heats in short cycles, not continuously, so your monthly cost depends on climate, how often you use it, and your local rate.
How do I care for the water?
Corona discharge ozone and a 50 sq ft filter handle much of the daily work. You'll still test and balance water chemistry regularly and rinse the filter on a schedule. Sunbelt's Quick Start Guide below covers the details.
Can I return it?
No. Each Retreat Duo is built to order, so it can't be cancelled, returned, or exchanged once production starts. Any issue after delivery is handled through Sunbelt's warranty. Please review the warranty document below before ordering.
Still deciding? Call or text 760.840.5141, we'll confirm fit, delivery, and electrical before you order.
About This Hot Tub
The Retreat Duo is Sunbelt's SB 822. It shares the Retreat's 93 inch shell and 433 gallons, and it's built around two loungers instead of one.
That puts two people in the reclined position at the same time. It seats 5 in total, with 47 blaster jets on two 4HP two speed pumps.
Sunbelt builds it to order in Texas. It ships 9 to 11 weeks after you order. Before delivery you'll need a dedicated 60 amp GFCI circuit and a reinforced slab.
