Selecting A Good Location
LEVEL, FLAT & SOLID LOAD BEARING SITE CRITICAL
DO NOT LOCATE ON A SURFACE THAT CAN BE DAMAGED BY WATER
Solid Load Bearing Site
The site must provide a solid foundation with a minimum load bearing capacity
of 75 pounds per square foot (33.75 kgr per 929.03 sq. cm). Concrete slabs and
decks must be designed to support this weight. Do not select a site composed of
individual unsupported bricks, blocks or other materials which will shift unevenly
and cause damage to your spas internal frame.
Level Site, Flat Surface
A level site is critical to both the performance and enjoyment of your spa. Water
is unforgiving and will always settle level. A flat and level site provides the surface
necessary to properly dispense weight between the footwell which bears most
of the spa’s weight and the structural frame which primarily provides stabilization
and secondary support. The importance of proper support for the footwell in
conjunction with the spa cabinet can not be over stressed.
Site Selection...
Your new spa will provide you and yours with hour upon hour of healthy, relaxing enjoyment. The following suggestions and
recommendations will help you select a safe and compatible site for your spa, maximizing your enjoyment.
1. Certified Licensed Electrician Required
Electrical installation, (approval of and connection to power source) must be
completed by a qualified certified licensed electrician in compliance with all
codes.
2. No Overhead Power Lines
Do not locate your spa under overhead power lines or in near proximity to
existing buried or exposed electrical circuits. See your electrician.
READ ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
See pages 1 and 2 for other safety requirements and instructions
3. Childproof Your Spa
Plan for limiting access of children. Precautions such as self closing and
locking gates or access doors, fencing and other child barriers, as dictated
by the site.
4. UL Safety Cover Required
In addition to its insulating factors, a good cover also provides a measure of
additional protection from unwanted access. Select a cover which is classified
by the Underwriters Laboratories meeting ASTM F1346-91 requirements.
THE BULK OF YOUR SPA’S WEIGHT IS SUPPORTED BY THE FOOTWELL
Failure to provide support will result in damage to the spa’s shell and will void the shell warranty!
FILLING YOUR SPA
Make sure that the electrical cord has been routed properly. ( See page 5 and 9 ).
Do not supply electrical power at this point.
1. Check to be sure that the drain valve is closed and that the drain safety cap is securely in place. (
See page 5 and 9)
2. Remove filter cartridge and place garden hose end through opening (inside filter area), fill the spa with cold (never warm or hot) water 6” to 8” (150 to 200 mm) below
the top edge of the spa. Do not overfill as the spa’s water level will rise as each person enters the spa.
3. Always keep the spa water level above the jet openings.
