Choosing Your Spa Placement

To make sure you have the best spa experience, the placement and orientation of a  
new Galaxy spa pool has to be carefully planned.

Factors to be considered:

• 

There should be no power lines or overhead cables anywhere near the spa pool.

• 

Are there any surrounding buildings or homes that may cause privacy issues?   

• 

Can electrical cabling reach the pad position to the switchboard/mains?

• 

Splashing while swimming is all part of the experience! Does your positioning offer 
adequate drainage?

• 

Is there enough room within the total foundation for other accessories such as steps, 
heat pump and cover lifters?

• 

Does the location offer access around the entire spa pool? Full perimeter access is advised.

• 

Do you have a view that you wish to look over while relaxing in the spa pool?

• 

Is there anything else that might make your surroundings more enjoying? For example a 
deck or landscaping?

• 

Does positioning allow easy accessibility to the external drain valve and other 
similar controls?
