There are many factors to consider when choosing a location to set up the hydrotherapy spa. These factors vary
depending on whether you plan to use the spa inside or outside. We have listed several factors you may wish to
consider as you decide where to set up the spa.
If you set up the hydrotherapy spa inside:
1. The hydrotherapy spa will increase the level of
humidity in your home. The location you choose
should be well ventilated. You may need to install
a ventilation fan or use a dehumidifier.
2. The location must be close to an electrical outlet.
Do not use an extension cord with the
hydrotherapy spa.
3. The hydrotherapy spa should be close to a source
of water.
4. Do not use the hydrotherapy spa on carpet or
other material that may be damaged by moisture.
We recommend that you place the hydrotherapy
spa on a water- and stain-resistant, non-slip sur-
face with a floor drain for any water that may
splash from the hydrotherapy spa.
5. Be sure that the location you choose is stable. It
must be able to support the weight of the
hydrotherapy spa when it is filled with water, plus
the weight of the occupants. The hydrotherapy spa
weighs approximately 2,133 pounds when it is
filled with water.
6. Do not use the hydrotherapy spa above a finished
living area, due to the risk of water damage.
7. Be sure that there is room around the hydrothera-
py spa to permit servicing of the unit. The dimen-
sions of the spa are 70” W x 70” L x 35” H. You
should allow for this size when choosing the loca-
tion.
8. The hydrotherapy spa is not designed for in-floor
installation. However, it is compatible with a deck
system that is built flush with the top of the spa,
provided you leave access to the motor for ser-
vice.
9. Be sure to note any other considerations, such as
aesthetics or privacy concerns, that may affect the
safety or enjoyment of using the hydrotherapy spa.
If you set up the hydrotherapy spa outside:
1. Check local building codes concerning the use of
outdoor spas.
2. The location must be close to an electrical outlet.
Do not use an extension cord with the
hydrotherapy spa.
3. The hydrotherapy spa should be close to a source
of water.
4. We recommend that you place the hydrotherapy
spa on a water- and stain-resistant, non-slip sur-
face. Do not use the hydrotherapy spa on rough or
sharp surfaces such as gravel or wood chips.
5. Be sure that the location you choose is stable. It
must be able to support the weight of the
hydrotherapy spa when it is filled with water, plus
the weight of the occupants. The hydrotherapy spa
weighs approximately 2,133 pounds when it is
filled with water.
6. Think about environmental factors, such as rain,
wind, shade, sunlight etc.
7. You should be able to monitor the use of the
hydrotherapy spa from your home, to prevent
unauthorized use by children. You may want to
enclose the spa with a fence and self-latching gate
to prevent unauthorized use.
8. Be sure that there is room around the hydrothera-
py spa to permit servicing of the unit. The dimen-
sions of the spa are 70” W x 70” L x 35” H. You
should allow for this size when choosing the loca-
tion.
9. The hydrotherapy spa is not designed to be
installed below ground level. However, it is com-
patible with a deck system that is built flush with
the top of the spa, provided you leave access to
the motor for service.
10.Be sure to note any other considerations, such as
aesthetics or privacy concerns, that may affect the
safety or enjoyment of using the hydrotherapy spa.
