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.
