Allow for service access
Many people choose to install a decorative structure around their spa. If
you are installing your spa with any type of structure on the outside, such
as a gazebo, remember to allow access for service. It is always best to
design special installations so that the spa can still be accessed.
Outdoor equipment pack (in-ground spas only)
The Designer Spa series requires an external equipment pack. When locat-
ing the outdoor equipment pack, you will want to consider the following:
The equipment pack must be located within a maximum of 15 feet •
from the spa.
Ensure the equipment running its normal filtration cycles does not •
make too much noise for spa owners and/or neighbors.
Ensure the equipment can be easily serviced for filter cleaning and •
periodic inspections in the location chosen.
If you are using a gas heater, you will need to consider wind and drafts
•
as well as heater exhaust for proper heater placement. (See heater
owner’s manual for important location and safety information.)
The equipment base and heater must be placed on either a 3 1/2”
•
cement slab or 3” paving stones.
Make sure the equipment area selected will not be in an area where
•
water could run or stand.
If the area receives direct sunlight, you will want to provide some pro-
•
tection for the equipment portion of the equipment pack.
The equipment pack and heater are delivered separately. Do not cover gas
heaters unless properly vented. (See heater owner’s manual for important
safety information.)
