Your  spa  needs  a  solid  and  level  foundation.  The 

area  that  it  sits  on  must  be  able  to  support  the 

weight  of  the  spa,  with  water  and  the  occupants 

who use it. If the foundation is inadequate, it may 

shift or settle after the spa is in place, causing stress 

that could DAMAGE YOUR SPA SHELL AND FINISH.

Damage caused by inadequate or improper 

foundation support is not covered by the 

warranty.  It  is  the  responsibility  of  the 

spa owner to provide a proper foundation 

for the spa.

Place the spa on an elevated 3 to 4” / 30 cm concrete 

slab.  Pavers,  gravel,  brick,  sand,  timbers  or  dirt 

foundations are 

not

 adequate to support the spa. 

We  strongly  recommend  that  a  qualified,  licensed 

contractor prepare the foundation for your spa.
If  you  are  installing  the  spa  indoors,  pay  close 

attention to the flooring beneath it. Choose flooring 

that will not be damaged or stained.
If you are installing your spa on an elevated wood 

deck  or  other  structure,  it  is  highly  recommended 

that you consult a structural engineer or contractor 

to  ensure  the  structure  will  support  the  weight  of 

Preparing a Good Foundation

All 240V spas must be permanently connected (hard 

wired) to the power supply. See the GFCI and wiring 

requirements on page 5.

These instructions describe the only acceptable 

electrical wiring  procedure . Spas  wired in any 

other  way  will  void  your  warranty  and  may 

result in serious injury .

When  installed  in  the  United  States,  the  electrical 

wiring of this spa must meet the requirements of NEC 

70 and any applicable local, state, and federal codes.

The  electrical  circuit  must  be  installed  by  an 

electrical  contractor  and  approved  by  a  local 

building or electrical inspector .
Failure  to  comply  with  state  and  local  codes 

may result in fire or personal injury and will be 

the sole responsibility of the spa owner .

The power supplied to the spa must be on a dedicated 
GFCI protected circuit as required by NEC 70 with no 
other appliances or lights sharing the power.
Use  copper  wire  with  THHN  insulation.  Do  not  use 
aluminum wire.
Use the table below and on the next page to determine 
your GFCI and wiring requirements.
Wires that run over 100 feet must increase wire gauge 
to the next lower number. For example: A normal 50 
amp  GFCI  with  four  #6  AWG  copper  wires  that  run 
over 100 feet would require you to go to four #4 AWG 
copper wires.

240 Volt Electrical Installation

150 pounds per square foot (732 kg / m2).
To properly identify the weight of your new spa when 

full, remember water weighs 8.33 lbs. per gallon, or 

1 kg per liter. For example, an average 8’ spa holds 

approximately  500  gallons,  or  1892  liters,  of  water. 

Using this formula, you will find that the weight of the 

water alone is 4,165 lbs, or 1892 kg. Combined with 

the dry weight of the spa you will note that this spa 

will weigh approximately 5,000 lbs, or 2267 kg, when 

full of water.
