Preparing A Foundation For Your Spa
Indoor / Outdoor
Your Spa needs a good solid foundation. The area that your Spa sits on must be able to support the weight of
500kg/m2 (1000kg/m2 for Swim Spas). If the foundation is inadequate, it may shift or settle after the Spa is in
place, causing stress to the shell.
Note
: Damage caused by inadequate or improper foundation support is not covered by the SCS Industries Water
Tight Warranty. It is the responsibility of the Spa owner to provide a proper foundation for the Spa. (please refer to
paragraph below)
Place the Spa on an elevated foundation so that water drains away from it. Proper drainage will keep components
dry and protect them from continual damp conditions, and will also aid you when draining the Spa for maintenance.
If you are installing your Spa indoors, pay close attention to the flooring beneath it.
Always remember that the Spa is filled with water. Choose flooring that will not be spoiled or ruined from water
damage. SCS Industries will not accept responsibility for water damage caused through Spa being placed in
unacceptable surroundings.
If the Spa is to be located on decking ensure the deck is capable of withstanding the combined weight mentioned
above. It is recommended that a qualified contractor prepare the foundation for your Spa. A base of 100mm (4inch)
minimum concrete pad or equivalent is required to place your Spa. If mounting on a deck centre supports must be
installed to support the centre of the Spa.
