Most cities and counties require permits for exterior
construction and electrical circuits. In addition, some
communities have codes requiring residential barriers
such as fencing and/or self-closing gates on property
to prevent unsupervised access to the property by
children. Your dealer can provide information on which
permits may be required and how to obtain them prior
to the delivery of your spa.

Do not place your spa within 10 feet (3 m) of
overhead power lines.
How you intend to use your spa will help you
determine where you should position it. For example,
will you use your spa for recreational or therapeutic
purposes? If your spa is mainly used for family
recreation, be sure to leave plenty of room around
it for activity. If you will use it for relaxation and
therapy, you will probably want to create a specific
mood around it.
If you live in a region where it snows in the winter
or rains frequently, place the spa near a house
entry. By doing this, you will have a place to change
clothes and not be uncomfortable.
In a cold-weather climate, bare trees won’t provide
much privacy. Think of your spa’s surroundings
during all seasons to determine your best privacy
options. Consider the view of your neighbors as well
when you plan the location of your spa.
Think about the direction you will be facing when
sitting in your spa. Do you have a special landscaped
area in your yard that you find enjoyable? Perhaps
there is an area that catches a soothing breeze
during the day or a lovely sunset in the evening.
In planning your spa’s location, consider a location
where the path to and from the house can be kept
clean and free of debris.
Prevent dirt and contaminants from being tracked
into your spa by placing a foot mat at the spa’s
entrance where the bathers can clean their feet
before entering your spa.
Make sure the spa is positioned so that access to
the equipment compartment and all side panels will
not be blocked.
Many people choose to install a decorative structure
around their spa. If you are installing your spa with
any type of structure on the outside, such as a
gazebo, remember to allow access for service. It is
always best to design special installations so that
the spa can still be moved, or lifted off the ground.
