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) with a
rated tripping current not
exceeding 30 mA. Means
for disconnection must
be incorporated in the
fi xed 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 fi xed wiring.
Site and Positioning
MAAX® Spas recommends that a Swim Spa be
placed in its fi nal 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 fi lled 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, snow melt, or
sources of water from collecting around the
equipment of the Swim Spa. The vault must
have either suffi
cient 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.
WARNING: ACCESS TO THE Swim Spa
SHOULD BE CONTROLLED IN ACCORDANCE
