The crane has a truck-mounted boom which can fit right in your
driveway. It must be run by a licensed and insured operator. For a
charge, the crane operator will lift your spa over walls, buildings, or
any other obstruction and place it as close to the installation site as
possible. Crane delivery typically takes an average of 60 minutes to
complete.
NOTE:
If your spa delivery requires the use of a crane, you may be
required to pay for its services at the completion of the delivery.
GROUND PREPARATION
Your
HOT SPRING
spa has been engineered to perform on several
kinds of surfaces. While a concrete slab is best for long-term use*,
other foundations are acceptable so long as a level base is prepared
prior to delivery.
*NOTE:
A reinforced concrete pad at least four inches thick or a deck
that is able to withstand more than 555 kg/m² is recommended for the
PULSE
/
DL spa, 540 kg/m² is recommended for the
FLAIR
spa and 500
kg/m² is recommended for the
GLOW
spa.
How is your width clearance?
Check all gates
Protruding electric meters
Gas meters
A/C units
Is the path clear?
Move away branches, dog
houses, firewood, etc.
If there is a 90º turn, can we clear it?
(The spa will not bend)
No more than 6 consecutive
stairs without a landing
STREET
BACK YARD
(GARDEN)
Do you have sufficient
overhead clearance?
Check low roof eaves,
overhanging branches,
rain gutters
INSTALLATION NOTES:
If you are purchasing a deck package or a gazebo with your spa, a solid
foundation becomes mandatory. Placing them on any surface other
than a single level pad could create problems with their installation.
Pictured at right are a few of the recommended surfaces.
As a homeowner, it is your responsibility to provide a suitable, level
foundation for your spa. Keep in mind that most delivery crews are not
equipped to level and prepare spa sites.
If you are interested in having a concrete slab, brick surface, or wood
deck installed, your
HOT SPRING
dealer should be able to suggest a
qualified, licensed contractor.
NOTE:
In order for the spa to operate properly and the internal
plumbing to drain completely, you must ensure that the spa is level after
it has been installed. Your
HOT SPRING
spa delivery crew can help
you perform the procedure.
