INSTALLATION

6

BE AWARE:

Damage caused by inadequate or improper foundation support is not covered by the spa warranty. 

It is the sole responsibility of the spa owner to provide a proper foundation for the spa.
Make sure the foundation where the spa is placed drains water away from the spa. Proper 

drainage will keep components dry from rain and wet weather.
Your spa weight must always be considered when installing your spa.  If you are installing it on an 

elevated wood deck or other structure, it is advisable to consult a structural engineer or contractor 

to ensure the structure will support the weight.

IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT A QUALIFIED, LICENSED CONTRACTOR 

PREPARE THE FOUNDATION FOR YOUR SPA. 

 

A reinforced concrete pad at least four inches thick is recommended for your spa. The reinforcing 

rod or mesh in the pad should be attached to a bond wire.

INDOOR INSTALLATION:

Be aware of some special requirements if you place your spa indoors. Water will accumulate 

around the spa, so flooring materials must provide a good grip when wet. Proper drainage is 

essential to prevent a build-up of water around the spa. When building a new room for the spa, it 

is recommended that a floor drain be installed. The humidity will naturally increase with the spa 

installed. Water may get into woodwork and produce dryrot, mildew, or other problems. Check for 

airborne moisture’s effects on exposed wood, paper, etc. in the room. To minimize these effects, it 

is best to provide plenty of ventilation to the spa area. An architect can help to determine if more 

ventilation must be installed. 

PLACING THE SPA

CHECK THE DIMENSIONS OF YOUR SPA:

Compare the spa dimensions to the width of gates, sidewalks, and doorways along the delivery 

route used to bring the spa into your yard. It may be necessary for you to remove a gate or 

partially remove a fence in order to provide an unobstructed passageway to the installation 

location. Also, keep in mind—if you are using special equipment to place your spa into an area it 

will be necessary to include those measurements and weights. 

PLANNING A DELIVERY ROUTE:

Check the width of gates, doors and sidewalks to make sure your spa will pass through 

unobstructed. You may have to remove a gate or part of a fence to allow for adequate width 

clearance. If the delivery route will require a 90-degree turn, check the measurements at the turn 

to ensure the spa will fit. Check for protruding gas meters, water meters, A/C units, etc., on your 

home which will cause obstructions along the delivery path to your yard. Check for low roof eaves, 

over hanging branches or rain gutters that could be an obstruction to overhead clearances.

SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES:

The use of a crane for delivery and installation is primarily to avoid injury to your spa, your 

property or to delivery personnel. Our Customer Service may be able to assist you with the 

arrangements. Cranes are not considered “normal delivery”.
