Installation Instructions 

 
 

Site Selection

 

 
Before selecting a site, please read the Safety Information, Manufacturer’s Warnings and 
the relevant indoor/outdoor sections. 
 
Your Roto Spa is completely self-contained and portable. It can be set up on a patio, deck 
or even indoors. 
 
The dimensions of your Roto spa are 33” (84cm) high X 78.5” (199cm) wide. 
 

1.

 

Structure:

 The Roto Spa should always be placed on a structurally strong, 

relatively smooth and level surface. 

2.

 

Drainage:

 do not place the Roto Spa in an area where water will puddle around 

the tub. 

3.

 

Electrical:

 Allow easy access to the controller situated behind the access panel 

for electrical hook up. 

 

Outdoor Installation 

 
Your Roto Spa is totally self-contained and portable. You can place it just about 
anywhere you wish; on any smooth surface (tile, concrete, wood, and brick). Verify the 
tub is placed on a firm, level well-drained base prior to set-up. If you need to step on 
grass or dirt to enter the Roto Spa, we recommend the use of stepping-stones to reduce 
the amount of dirt and debris entering the tub.  
 

ANY DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE SPA RESTING ON AN UNEVEN SURFACE WILL NOT 
BE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. 

 
When considering an installation site, always allow for easy access to your equipment. 
The installation site should also allow enough room to completely remove and store the 
spa cover during used. 
 

Indoor/Basement Installation

 

 
Water splashing on the floor during use may cause a walking hazard and/or structural 
damage unless good drainage is provided. Proper building materials must be used in the 
area surrounding and beneath the tub. Take into consideration the room humidity, which 
will exist due to high temperatures. Providing natural or forced ventilation in the room 
will help maintain comfort and minimize moisture damage to the surrounding 
environment. Consult an architect for aid in designing your indoor Roto Spa room. 
 
Note: Using your spa for 15 to 20 minutes gives off the same moisture/condensation as a 
15 to 20 minute shower, so a proper bathroom fan should be installed.
