In-Ground Installation
(Timber or brick surround)
When installing your Spa pool partially in the ground, dig the hole to the required shape and depth allowing for the
associated plumbing to the filter and pump. Pour the concrete and lower the Spa pool into the mixture, level and let
cure. Complete all necessary pipe work below ground level.
Fill the Spa pool with water up to the level of pipe work covered by the back fill and check for water leaks; rectify if
necessary before proceeding. Empty water after check is made. Install the backfill of 10:1 sand and cement, taking
care to pack firmly under the seat and reclining areas. Constantly check the Spa pool for level when back filling.
Complete the Spa pool surround and plumbing.
Sloping Site Installation
(Brick Surround)
When installing your Spa pool on a sloping site, the same procedure applies as above except that the brick wall
would require building up (to the level of the sand and cement back fill) before back filling could be done.
Drain behind the brick wall if the site is exceptionally wet and provide weep holes in the f8ront wall. Timber could be
substituted for the brickwork.
