LOCATION AND INSTALLATION
Your spa has been conveniently designed for use in either an indoor or outdoor setting. While selecting an appropriate location for
your spa, there are important things to consider.
Indoor Considerations
1. Walls, ceiling, flooring, and/or hardwood must be able to withstand high humidity. Just like in your bathroom, an exhaust fan
would be a good idea.
2. Spa Chemicals in the air may corrode certain metals in your home.
3. A self-draining floor is a great way to ease any worries about spilled water.
4. Spas must be accessible at all times to permit servicing if needed. Cost associated with the removal of walls, pulling a spa out of
an enclosed area, etc. are not the responsibility of the manufacturer. All costs associated with these types of items will be the
sole responsibility of the homeowner.
5. Remember that you'll need extra space to store the cover when it is removed. When using our handy cover-lift device, you
should allow for an extra 16" of clearance behind the spa.
6. The spa must be placed on a solid, flat, and level surface that does not move or shake.
7. You should consult with a builder or engineer to determine if your floor will support the spa weight. Remember, you must allow
for the spa, water, and people in your total weight calculations.
8. Be sure your spa is secure from access by young children. We offer a locking spa cover, but we also suggest keeping the spa
room locked and off limits to children.
Outdoor Considerations
1. Place your spa on a solid, flat, and level surface. We recommend a 4" thick reinforced concrete pad as the best surface. Dirt,
sand, concrete pavers, paver stones, etc. are not acceptable surfaces for your spa and these surfaces will void all warranty
claims.
See figure 1 below for more information.
2. Keep in mind natural elements such as wind, sun, falling leaves, etc. Also consider lighting, visibility from the house, and
accessibility.
3. We recommend that you locate your spa in a locked fenced-in area to prevent access to the spa by children
.
4. It is a good idea to have a contractor review your proposed site to see that there are no support problems. There are often local
ordinances that need to be met for spa use.
