The following factors should be taken into consideration:
Electricity
•
Do you have the electrical capacity to run the spa?
•
Based on proximity to your power supply, are there particular areas you can or can’t place
your spa?
•
You may need to discuss this with your electrician before confirming your spa’s positioning.
•
If you are choosing to conceal the power feed you will need to have the initial wiring and
conduit in place before delivery. See Electrical Requirements on page 16 for details.
Delivery
What obstacles does your spa need to be lifted over, around or under? This may play a part in
helping you decide where to position your spa.
Service Area
•
Ensure you leave at least 500mm around the spa as a service area.
•
Panels may need to be removed during servicing so there needs to be enough room for a
technician to work.
•
500mm is the absolute minimum.
View
This is where you are going to sit, relax and take care of your body and mind. Have you got a
space that fits your spa and has access to power supply while also providing the optimum vista
or outlook available?
Privacy
Where is the most private location you can place your spa? Think neighbours, people coming to
the door and sight lines of people walking or driving past.
Weather
Where is the sunniest and most sheltered spot you can place your spa? Out of the wind and in
the sun is ideal, and not too far from the house for those chilly nights. Do note that if you are in
a particularly hot and sunny climate, a more sheltered spot is advised to reduce damage to your
spa via prolonged high UV exposure.
