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 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 spa should be located near a power source

capable of supplying 240 volts AC power. It must

be wired directly into a grounded circuit with a 45

amp circuit breaker and a Ground Fault Circuit

Interrupter (GFCI) capable of carrying 45 amps.

No other appliance should be on the same circuit.

3. The spa should be close to a source of water.

4. Do not use the spa on carpet or other material that

may be damaged by moisture. We recommend

that you place the spa on a water- and stain-resis-

tant, non-slip surface with a floor drain for any

water that may splash from the spa.

5. Make sure that the location you choose is stable. It

must be able to support the weight of the spa

when it is filled with water, plus the weight of the

occupants. The spa weighs approximately 3,300

pounds when it is filled with water.

6. Do not use the spa above a finished living area,

due to the risk of water damage.

7. Make sure that there is room around the spa to

permit servicing of the unit. The dimensions of the

spa are 84” W x 84” L x 36” H. You should allow for

this size when choosing the location.

8. The 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 service.

9. Make sure to note any other considerations, such

as aesthetics or privacy concerns, that may affect

the safety or enjoyment of using the spa.

If you set up the hydrotherapy spa outside:

1. Check local building codes concerning the use of

outdoor spas.

2. The spa should be located near a power source

capable of supplying 240 volts AC power. It must

be wired directly into a grounded circuit with a 45

amp circuit breaker and a Ground Fault Circuit

Interrupter (GFCI) capable of carrying 45 amps.

No other appliance should be on the same circuit.

3. The spa should be close to a source of water.

4. We recommend that you place the spa on a water-

and stain-resistant, non-slip surface. Do not use

the spa on rough or sharp surfaces such as gravel

or wood chips.

5. Make sure that the location you choose is stable. It

must be able to support the weight of the spa

when it is filled with water, plus the weight of the

occupants. The spa weighs approximately 3,300

pounds when it is filled with water.

6. Consider environmental factors such as rain, wind,

shade, and sunlight.

7. You should be able to monitor the use of the 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 unautho-

rized use.

8. Make sure that there is room around the spa to

permit servicing of the unit. The dimensions of the

spa are 84” W x 84” L x 36” H. You should allow for

this size when choosing the location.

9. The spa is not designed to be installed below

ground level. 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.

10.Make sure to note any other considerations, such

as aesthetics or privacy concerns, that may affect

the safety or enjoyment of using the spa.
