Can the whirlpool tub be embedded in the ground?

Yes, but you must ensure that you can access the technical equipment (equipment compartment door). The equipment is located below the upper control panel on all Villeroy & Boch whirlpool tubs. Please bear in mind that water can accumulate in the pit (e.g. due to heavy rain), so a drain must be installed. When the whirlpool tub is embedded flush with the ground, please also bear in mind that you have to take a big step down into the water to enter the tub, thus impairing your balance.
