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.
Preparing for Your New Portable Spa
Planning the Best Location
Safety First
Do not place your spa within 10 feet (3 m) of over-
head power lines.
Consider How You Will Use Your Spa
How you intend to use your spa will help you de-
termine 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 rec-
reation, 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.
Plan for Your Environment
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.
Consider Your Privacy
In a cold-weather climate, bare trees won’t provide
much privacy. Think of your spa’s surroundings dur-
ing all seasons to determine your best privacy op-
tions. Consider the view of your neighbors as well
when you plan the location of your spa.
Provide a View with 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 dur-
ing the day or a lovely sunset in the evening.
Keep Your Spa Clean
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 en-
trance where the bathers can clean their feet before
entering your spa.
Allow for Service Access
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 gaze-
bo, 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.
