Water hardness
Water hardness varies by supplier. Ask your water utility (or have your well tested) for a current hardness figure, which most utilities publish in an annual water quality report. Desert water across the region is commonly hard, so ask your installer how to keep jets and door seals free of scale.
Permits
Permits for a walk-in tub depend on the work. Plumbing changes inside walls, a new water heater or a new electrical circuit usually need one. In Pahrump, ask the Nye County Building Department. A licensed installer normally pulls the permit for you.
