SITE PREPARATION / GENERAL GUIDELINES
Swim spa installation is simple when properly planned. 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 swim spa will determine the amount of space that
is needed in moving the swim 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 over-
head cables. Any other space limiting obstacles such as trees or shrubs must be evaluated.
2. Surface/Pad Requirements -
When your new swim spa is filled with water and bathers, it may
weigh as much as several tons. It is imperative that the base beneath the swim spa can support
the entire weight. The swim 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
Be sure to locate your swim spa so that the equipment remains above grade and is not subject
to flooding.
The equipment side(s) of the swim spa must be accessible in the event that future service is need-
ed. In the event that service is required, your dealer will need at least 2 feet of clearance around
the perimeter of the swim spa. 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 swim spa in
the event your swim spas plumbing requires maintenance. Your swim spa warranty does not cover
the cost of providing access for service.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR OUTDOOR INSTALLATION
Proper planning will increase your total enjoyment factor with your new swim spa. Listed below are
some additional items to consider when planning your installation.
• How swim spa will complement landscaping and vice versa
• View from inside swim spa and view of swim spa from inside of home
• Exposure to sunlight and shading from trees
• Privacy
• Getting to swim spa from house and return
• Proximity to dressing rooms and bathrooms
• Storage for swim spa chemicals
• Local building codes (if applicable)
• Power cable
NOTE:
The Swim Spa is to be used in private, residential use only. Operating an Swim Spa for
commercial use will void the warranty.
