SWIM SPA INSTALLATION
Danger: Electrical shock risk. Install at
least 1.5m from all metal surfaces.
The electrical supply for this product must
include a suitably rated switch or circuit
breaker to open all ungrounded supply
conductors. The disconnecting means must
be readily accessible but installed at least
1.5 meters from the Swim spa water. All
electrical connections should comply with
local regulations.
The appliance should be supplied
through a residual current device (RCD)
or Ground Fault Interrupter (GFCI) with
a rated tripping current not exceeding
30 mA. Means for disconnection must
be incorporated in the fixed wiring in
accordance with the wiring rules. Parts
containing live parts, except parts supplied
with safety extra-low voltage not exceeding
12 V, must be inaccessible to a person
in the bath. Earthed appliances must be
permanently connected to fixed wiring.
Site and Positioning
MAAX® Spas recommends that a Swim
spa be placed in its final installation site by
crane. In any installation where a crane
cannot be used, you may want to consult
with a professional rigging company.
When utilizing a crane for delivery, be sure
that crane operator understands the weight
of the Swim spa, the height it must be lifted,
and the distance that the crane boom must
travel. Be sure that the crane operator
uses an 8’ spreader bar and that the straps
wrap all the way around the bottom frame
of the Swim spa.
Locate the Swim spa on a solid, level
foundation keeping in mind the weight of
the filled Swim spa (in excess of 18,000 lb.
(8165 kg.) on some models). If you have
any doubts about the load bearing ability of
your chosen site, contact an architect or a
building contractor. The entire perimeter of
the Swim spa Frame and bottom must be
evenly supported.
We recommend that you provide a concrete
foundation pad for the Swim spa. The
foundation pad should be wider and longer
than the Swim spa by at least 12 inches (30
cm) in each direction. Failure to provide
a level surface could structurally damage
your Swim spa and void the warranty.
The Swim spa must be installed to allow
access for service and maintenance on
all four sides; therefore, if you choose to
install your Swim spa below grade level,
you will be required to have a vault or
pit constructed to prevent ground water,
rain, snowmelt, or sources of water from
collecting around the equipment of the
Swim spa. The vault must have either
sufficient drainage through a drain line or
through the use of a sump pump. The vault
must have adequate safe access as to
allow for routine maintenance of the Swim
spa components.
IMPORTANT: Proper drainage must be
provided to keep base dry, especially if
installed below grade/in a pit.
