Option 4: In-deck installation
Follow instructions for option 1 above (Installation on stone dust) and build patio around installation. Ensure
that the spa remains accessible. Do not let surface deck elements, such as planks, touch the spa. Be sure
to maintain a minimum clearance of 18” all around the spa. It must be accessible for servicing if required.
Option 5 :
Indoor installation
It is important to call on the expertise of a building specialist for this type of installation. Indoor installations
must comply with specific criteria, failing which serious problems may arise. Don’t hesitate to call a building
specialist who will be able to guide you in your project.
Option 6 :
Installation in gazebo
Be sure to maintain a minimum clearance of 18” all around the spa. It must be accessible for servicing if
required.
Electrical hook-up
All spas must be equipped with mechanical grounding (a no. 6 AWG connector), a 3/6 gauge wire
(MUST ABSOLUTELY BE A COPPER WIRE)
and a ground fault interrupter (GFI) / ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) with neutral 120/240 V voltage. The GFI must be installed 5 to 10 feet from the spa for
easy maintenance.
Initial start-up procedures
Step 1: Start-up and emptying the spa
▪
Fill the spa by inserting the hose into the skimmer, where the holes are under the cartridges, up to one
inch below the neck jets (at the level of the trapezoids) or one centimeter below the lowest pad. All
cushions must be outside the water.
▪
Fill the spa with the skimmer by removing the filters and filling to 1/4" below the lowest headrest.
▪
Put the GFCI to
ON
and activate the pumps.
▪
Put 2 cups of bleach directly into the tub and let agitate for an hour. Attention: the pumps will turn off
after 20 minutes, so do not forget to re-start them.
▪
Put the GFCI to
OFF.
▪
Drain the spa according to one of the following methods:
- Using gravity, with the help of the drain hose: pull the drain plug and, once released, unscrew it.
Screw on the hose and pull the part forward again so that the water drains.
- Using gravity, with the help of a vacuum cleaner hose.
- With a submersible pump.
▪
Clean the spa shell with a cloth and mild soap (ideally dishwasher detergent because it won't make much
foam). Rinse well.
▪
Fill up the spa.
▪
Bring a 500 ml sample of the spa water once the water temperature has reached over 85°F (30°C) to your
Trevi store to analyze the water.
