2. SITE SELECTION AND PREPARATION

The  location  of  your  spa  is  entirely  up  to  you.  

Read  these  instructions  for  ideas  of  the  various 

locations that your new spa may be installed.

By  the  time  you  have  purchased  your  spa,  you  

have likely already picked your location.  Prior to 

the spa delivery, please verify the following:

• Always place the spa on a compacted and level surface.  The best surface is a 

level concrete pad.  A spa, full of water, can weigh a great deal.  Please ensure

the spot can support the weight.

• Make sure to level your spa before filling it.

• Locate the equipment panel.  The system pack, drain valve, owner’s manual 

and optional ozone generator are usually located all in the same area.

Be sure that the connections are tightened during draining.  Water inside the 

system pack will cause the pack to fail and the breaker to trip.

• The panels, on all four sides, are removable.  Be sure to have access on all 

four sides.

• Be sure to have easy access to the circuit breaker in the sub panel (240 volt 

models).

• Never let water into the sub panel (240 volt models), or into the electrical 

outlet that your spa is plugged in to.  

If you have 240 volt model, the spa's 

sub panel is rain  tight when installed correctly with the door closed. 

3. INSTALLATION - PLACING YOUR SPA

Outdoor and patio installation

Positioning your spa correctly in your chosen location is very important because 

of the spa’s warranty.  The warranty on your spa is voided if the site is not 100% 

supportive.  If you install your spa outdoors, a concrete pad is the best method for 

a  stable  and  level  surface.    The  concrete  pad  should  be  four  inches  thick  and 

properly leveled.  Your spa may be installed on a deck, provided the load rating 

can handle a filled spa with people in it.

Deck installation  

When placing the spa on a deck, please ensure 

the  maximum  load  capacity  of  the  deck.  

Consult  a  qualified  deck  builder  or  structural 

engineer  before  you  place  the  spa  on  an 

elevated  deck  or  indoors.    To  determine  the 

weight  of  your  spa,  please  refer  to  the 

specifications on the website.  This weight must 

not  exceed  the  structural  load  capacity  of  the 

deck.
