INSTALLATION
Equipment Pack Site Preparation
Locate the equipment pack on a level surface (at least 5 feet but not more than 20 feet from the spa) where there is
sufficient access to the equipment. Make sure the site selected will allow drainage of water away from the equipment pack.
We recommend that you build a concrete pad for the spa equipment. If an electric heater is to be used, the pad should
measure 48" X 24" X 3" thick; if a gas heater is to be used, make the pad 60" X 36" X 3" thick.* The heater must be located
within 5 feet of the equipment pack and on the same level. The pad should be reinforced with 6" X 6" #10 gauge steel wire
mesh grid Attach a #12 solid copper wire to the wire mesh grid with a ground clamp. This wire should be long enough to
reach the bond bar (See "Bonding" in the section on Electrical Service.)
After pouring concrete, and before it has set, locate holes for bolts or anchors to secure the equipment pack based to the
pad. Refer to the hole locations on the flange of the equipment pack base. Then secure the equipment pack base to the
pad. See illustrations on this page for details.
* Refer to heater manufacturer's installation instructions for proper placement and clearance around the heater, as well
as proper plumbing methods. Adjust pressure setting on heater according to manufacturer's instructions, if so equipped.
