LOCATION
For your vessel to function properly and safely, it must be located on a
hard, flat, stable, and level surface on a 6” to 8” thick concrete pad that can
support 100lbs. per square inch. Inground vessels require special installa-
tion techniques and should be planned in conjunction with your authorized
Marquis
®
dealer. Improper installation can result in structural damage to the
vessel and the voiding of your vessel warranty. Items to discuss with your
dealer include: Local construction codes, electrical service requirements,
serviceability of equipment present underground obstructions such as gas,
water, and telephone lines, safety measures such as fences and locks, and
visibility of the vessel installation from the home, street, and neighbors.
Do not shim your vessel. If your pad is not level you must pour a top cap:
contact a professional.
•
Allow for sufficient water drainage around the vessel to help preserve
the equipment and support structure. This includes indoor installations.
• A filled vessel can weigh up to 18,000 pounds and the location should
support the weight of the filled vessel.
• The vessel contains equipment on both ends. Your vessel MUST be
installed to permit access for servicing the equipment above and/or
below any decks or floors. Access is essential and must allow adequate
room for service. To facilitate repairs, Marquis Corp. or its agent may
require access to vessel equipment. It is your responsibility to provide
unencumbered access. See vessel diagrams for location of power
supply.
• Leave access to the circuit breakers in the sub panel.
•
Be sure the vessel is level and in the final position BEFORE filling with
water. Check for power cords, tools, and hoses that may be caught
underneath the vessel. Do not apply power to the vessel before it is
completely filled with water. Damage to the pumps, heater and sensors
may result.
• IMPORTANT: DO NOT LET AN EMPTY VESSEL REMAIN EX
-
POSED TO DIRECT SUNLIGHT.
Vessel surface temperatures can reach in excess of 180°F (82°C) if left
exposed to the sun. Significant damage can occur if this is allowed to
happen, including warping and blistering of the surface. Damage, that
occurs as a result of this exposure, is not covered under the warranty.
•
CAUTION:
Never try to move a vessel that has not been fully drained.
To do so could result in damage to the spa and physical injury to the
mover. Cracks in the vessel surface, exterior siding or base due to
improper transport or support of the vessel are not covered under the
warranty.
