STEPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL INSTALLATION:

1. DELIVERY

Your 

Deluxe Series 

hot tub will be delivered to the 

curbside 

of your home.  

You will need to arrange to have your hot tub placed in your desired location 

and  the  connection  of  the  electrical  circuits.    In  most  cities,  permits  are 

required  for  the  installation  of  electrical  circuits.  

When your hot tub delivery company calls to set up a 

delivery appointment, you may choose to make ar-

rangements with them to place your hot tub for an 

additional fee.  If that is not a service they can pro-

vide,  we  recommend  consulting  professionals  who 

have experience moving large items.

Review the path that your hot tub will take through 

your property along with the size of the hot tub to 

ensure  you  have  enough  clearance.    Refer  to  the 

chart  below  for  the  height,  width  and  depth  of  a 

packaged hot tub on a pallet.  If there are stairs or 

other obstacles, the spa will have to travel over to get 

to the site, additional clearances may be required.  Use the supplied measure-

ments to help you determine the best location for your new spa.

We have listed some key points to installing your spa that will help eliminate 

some of the unforeseeable situations that could occur.

  •  Avoid installing too close to a building or structure.

  •  Leave enough room around all sides to allow access to

    service panels.

  •  Install on a load bearing, level platform.

  •  Do not install less than 5 feet from ground conductors.

  •  Use non-conductive conduit for all wiring.

  •  If installing below a deck surface, leave enough room 

    to access and remove service panels.

We recommend a level 4” thick concrete pad if you are installing on land (ver-

sus deck or platform). The dimensions of the pad should be at least the out-

side dimension of the spa.  You should also accomodate for steps or other 

items around the spa.   Allow a few days for curing the cement when calculat-

ing your scheduled delivery date.

Balconies and upper decks are not recommended for spa installations, but if 

you choose to do so, keep in mind that a large filled spa with 6 people can
