Ite requIrementS
Your RECSPORT Recreation System must be installed on a smooth
and level surface that can support the dead weight listed in the back of
this manual.
If a new slab is poured, consult your local electrical codes regarding
grounding and bonding. Local code may require a bonding wire to be
attached to the reinforcing bar or wire mesh that is embedded in the
concrete. If new concrete is being poured, this is the ideal time to install
the conduit for the incoming electrical supply.
Even if a new pad has been poured, it is essential that the system site
is level and planar. There is a simple way to ensure that this is the
case. First, draw a chalk outline of the footprint of your RECSPORT
Recreation System. Place a six-foot level along and around the footprint
of the system. Verify that there are no gaps between the level and floor.
Next pour water inside of the chalk footprint. Verify that the water does
not puddle inside the footprint.
Should there a be a gap or should the water puddle inside the footprint,
call your ENDLESS POOLS dealer prior to continuing to discuss the
best way to resolve this situation.
INDOOR CONSIDERATIONS
1. Local electrical and plumbing codes.
2. Ventilation fans and/or dehumidifiers should be provided to handle
the humidity developed by your RECSPORT Recreation System.
Walls, ceiling and wood trim should be water resistant, also.
3. Chemicals will vaporize from the water and may cause an odor
and possibly corrosion to certain home hardware. Never store
chemicals inside the RECSPORT Recreation System cabinet.
4. During the normal use of the RECSPORT Recreation System,
water will escape the vessel. Never place on or over any materials,
which may be damaged by this water or the chemicals within the
water. Keep damageable materials far enough away to avoid water
damage, even if the RECSPORT Recreation System should lose
all its water.
5. Consider and prepare for the unlikely event of rapid drainage. If
placement of the
RECSPORT
Recreation System is permanent,
you may wish to provide floor drains to accommodate draining, etc.
Always leave room all around the
RECSPORT
Recreation System
for easy access in case repairs are necessary.
6. Consider and prepare for the unlikely event of removal.
7. Do not set
RECSPORT Recreation System on finished floor
without a waterproof barrier protection underneath.
8. The RECSPORT Recreation System should have access to a
power source capable of supplying 230 volts AC power. It must
be wired directly into a grounded circuit with a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI). No other appliances should be on the same
circuit.
9. The RECSPORT Recreation System should be close to a source
of water.
10. Do not use the
RECSPORT
Recreation System above a finished
living area due to the risk of water damage.
11. The RECSPORT Recreation System is not designed for in-floor
installation. However, it is compatible with a deck system that is
built flush with the bar top, provided you leave access for service.
12. Be sure to note any other considerations, such as aesthetics or
privacy concerns that may affect the safety or enjoyment of using
the RECSPORT Recreation System.
OUTDOOR CONSIDERATIONS
1. Local electrical and plumbing codes.
2. Consider local codes pertaining to fencing, enclosures, walls,
electrical and plumbing. You will need to ensure that your
RECSPORT Recreation System is an adequate distance
from power lines, both above ground and underground. Your
RECSPORT Recreation System will also need to be child proofed.
3. View from house for aesthetics and supervisory needs.
4. Distance from house for wintertime soaking.
5. Nighttime lighting.
6. Consider sunlight exposure, views, access, property lines,
lighting, wind direction, shielding, septic tanks, plants, and trees
when determining your location. Chemicals in the RECSPORT
Recreation System water may splash damaging nearby plant life.
7. If your RECSPORT Recreation System is to be located on a
second story, be positive support is adequate. Call your builder and
a structural engineer.
8. Area for placement of support equipment where adequate space
will be needed to gain access to components for maintenance and
general servicing.
9. Be sure to note any other considerations, such as aesthetics or
privacy concerns that may affect the safety or enjoyment of using
the RECSPORT Recreation System.
10. Provide adequate drainage away from the equipment and
adequate elevation to allow draining by siphon, if should be
required.
11. Location of electrical supply. 230-volt systems require hard wire
installed from the main electrical source, to the sub panel, then to
the RECSPORT Recreation System terminal block. All equipment
must be ground fault circuit protected. All electrical wiring must
comply with the national electric code.
12. Locations at least 5 ft (1.5 m) from all metal surfaces. A
RECSPORT Recreation System may be installed within 5
feet (1.5 m) of metals surfaces providing each metal surface is
permanently connected by a no. 8 awg copper conductor attached
to the bonding wire connector on the heater provided for this
purpose. All installations must comply with article 680 of the U.S.
national electric code and ANSI/NFPA 70-1984.
