For spas that are to rest on balconies, roofs
or other platforms not specifically tied into main
structural support,
consult a professional structural
engineer with experience in this type of application.

The spa must be installed in such a manner as to provide drainage away
from it. Placing the spa in a depression without provisions for proper
drainage could allow rain, overflow and other casual water to flood the
equipment and create a wet condition in which it would sit in. For spas
which will be recessed into a floor or deck, install so as to permit access
to the equipment, either from above or below, for servicing. Make certain
that there are no obstructions which would prevent removal of all side
cabinet side panels and access to the jet components, especially on the
side with the equipment bay.
CauTIOn:
If the spa is indoors or located in an enclosed area,
proper ventilation should be discussed with an Engineer or authority
competent enough to understand the necessary provisions needed to
vent moist or heated air and air associated with chemical odors
outdoors.
when the spa is in use considerable amounts of
moisture will escape potentially causing mold and mildew. This
can cause health risk.
Over time, this can damage certain surfaces,
surroundings, and equipment.
4.1
Outdoor location
In selecting the ideal outdoor location for your spa, we suggest that you
take into consideration:
The proximity to changing area and shelter (especially in colder
•
weather).
The pathway to and from your spa (this should be free of debris so
•
that dirt and leaves are not easily tracked into the spa).
The closeness to trees and shrubbery (remember that leaves and
•
birds could create extra work in keeping the spa clean).
A sheltered environment (less wind and weather exposure can result
•
in lowered operation and maintenance costs).
The overall enhancement of your environment. It is preferable not to
•
place the spa under an unguttered roof overhang since run-off water
will shorten the life expectancy of the spa cover.
For spas that are to rest on balconies, roofs or other platforms not
•
specifically tied into main structural support, consult a professional
Structural Engineer with experience in this type of application.
