WARNING: ACCESS TO THE Swim spa

WITH ALL APPLICABLE NATIONAL AND

SELF-CLOSING, SELF-LOCKING GATE
AND/OR A LOCKABLE SAFETY HARDCOVER
FOR OUTDOOR USE AND A LOCKABLE
DOOR AND/OR SAFETY HARDCOVER FOR

Outdoor Installation
The following considerations apply when
installing your Swim spa outdoors:
1. Local codes pertaining to fencing.
2. Local electrical and plumbing codes.
3. View from your house.
4. Wind direction.
5. Exposure to sunlight.
6. Location relationship to trees (twigs,
leaves and shade).
7. Dressing and bathroom location.
8. Storage area for maintenance equipment
and chemicals.
9. Location to facilitate adult supervision.
10. Landscaping and night time lighting.
11. Accessibility to equipment.
12. Location and routing of power supply to
Swim spa and foot traffic.
Indoor Installation
In addition to the Outdoor installation
consideration, please also understand that the
following considerations apply when installing
your Swim spa indoors:
1. Indoor Swim spas promote high
humidity. Using either ventilation fans or
commercial grade de-humidifiers will help
to reduce the humidity. Consult your
dealer for details.
2. Floor drains must be provided near the
Swim spa to drain off water that
may cause falls and /or water damage.
Water will splash out of the Swim spa
during normal use when swimming and
when exiting the Swim spa.
3. Surface area of foundation pad and
surrounding area should be flat with a
non-skid finish. Carpeting or other
porous materials may retain moisture,
which leads to mold, mildew and odors
and is not recommended.
4. Walls, ceilings, woodwork should be made
of materials capable of withstanding high
humidity.
5. MAAX® Spas only recommends the use of a
concrete foundation pad to support your
Swim spa. If you intend to install your
Swim spa in an area where you cannot
utilize a concrete foundation pad, you
must consult with a structural engineer
to ensure the floor load bearing capacities
are adequate to support the concentrated
Swim spa weight, the weight of the
Swim spa occupants, and any furniture
or people that will be using the immediate
area of the Swim spa.
6. During shipment from the factory,
plumbing components may loosen;
therefore it is imperative that the
Swim spa is double checked for leaks
before installing to avoid possible water
damage. Your dealer may include this
service in their installation procedures.
7. Indoor sunrooms are capable of
maintaining high ambient temperatures
which may affect the Swim spa water
temperature. It is
NOT
recommended that
you operate your filter cycles for longer
than 4 hours per day under these
conditions.
Danger: Electrical shock risk. Install at least
5 feet (1.5 m) from all metal surfaces.
