Choosing Your Spa Placement

To make sure you have the best spa experience, the placement and orientation of your  
new Galaxy Swim Spa has to be carefully planned.

Factors to be considered:

• 

There should be no power lines or overhead cables anywhere near the Swim Spa.

• 

Are there any surrounding buildings or homes that may cause privacy issues?   

• 

Can electrical cabling reach the pad position to the switchboard/mains?

• 

Splashing while swimming is all part of the experience! Does your positioning offer 
adequate drainage?

• 

Is there enough room within the total foundation for other accessories such as steps, heat 
pump and covers lifters?

• 

Does the location offer access around the entire swim spa? Full perimeter access is advised.

• 

Do you have a view that you wish to look over while relaxing in the Swim Spa?

• 

Is there anything else that might make your surroundings more enjoying? For example a 
deck or landscaping?

• 

Does positioning allow easy accessibility to the external drain valve and other 
similar controls?
