SITE PREPARATION / GENERAL GUIDELINES
14
Portable spa installation is simple when properly planned. To that end, it is
important that you read the following information carefully and consult with
your Master Spas dealer.
1)
Access
- The actual dimensions of your new spa will determine the amount of
space that is needed in moving the spa from curbside to its final installation
area. Be sure to measure side yard dimensions, gates or doors and vertical
obstructions such as roof overhangs and overhead cables. Any other space
limiting obstacles such as trees or shrubs must be evaluated.
2)
If the spa is being installed indoors
, dimension limitations such as stairs,
ceilings and walls must be taken into consideration. Please have your
Master Spas dealer or delivery service review site or installation plans
prior to delivery.
NOTE: If you are installing your spa indoors, always be aware that if you
splash water into the speaker compartments of the spa, water will run down
through the speaker drain at the floor level toe kick, which drains below the
spa in the corner where the speakers are located. Please be aware of this as any
damage is not covered by the warranty. This could cause unwarranted damage.
3)
Surface/Pad Requirements
- When your new spa is filled with water and
bathers, it may weigh as much as several tons. It is imperative that the base
beneath the spa can support the actual weight. The spa must be on a
uniformly firm, continuous, and level surface. The recommended foundation
is a concrete pad with a minimum thickness of four (4) inches with steel
reinforcement bars crossed throughout the pad.
IMPORTANT
When installing your spa indoors, on a wood deck, or balcony, the same
load requirements must be met. Total load may be as much as 90 pounds per
square foot. You should speak with a qualified contractor or your local building
department to confirm that your surface is adequate for supporting a spa.
Be sure to locate your spa so that equipment remains above grade and is
not subject to flooding.
The equipment side(s) of the spa must be accessible in the event that
future service is needed. Periodical maintenance checks require entry into the
equipment bay. When possible, it is wise planning for the future to leave access
to all sides of the spa in the event your spas plumbing requires maintenance.
Your spa warranty does not cover the cost of providing access for service.
