GENERAL INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
1. Your HYDROPOOL hot tub is a self-contained pre-plumbed unit, so that no on- site plumbing connec ons to the
residen al water supply or drain are required.
2. Ensure that your HYDROPOOL hot tub is properly supported by either a level concrete pad, or a properly constructed
deck capable of suppor ng 1220 kg/m2 (250 lbs./ .2). If there is a possibility that the pad could shi by freezing/thawing
ground movement (such as in clay regions, and/or areas with high water tables) concrete foo ngs extending below the
frost line are recommended.
3. Decking should be chosen and constructed in a manner that minimizes the chance of slipping or falling.
4. If you do not have a factory installed insulated cabinet, it is assumed that you are building your own custom cabinet,
ling or decking.
Please consider the following:
a) Your HYDROPOOL hot tub is self- suppor ng on its base. The cabinet should be decora ve only, not for support. Never
suspend the hot tub from the deck or cabinet.
b) Where the hot tub is not equipped with a factory installed cabinet, it is the installer’s responsibility to ensure all electrical
equipment is completely weather protected and meets all of the regulatory requirements.
c) Always provide adequate access for servicing the support equipment.
d) Decking must be constructed to allow repair access around the en re hot tub.
e) In remote equipment or no- cabinet installa ons, you may add extra insula on, but the equipment area must have
adequate cross- flow ven la on.
5. Installa on of a safety grab rail or reachable support for use when entering or exi ng the hot tub is recommended.
6. A nearby garden hose connec on is recommended for filling and “topping up” the hot tub.
The hot tub equipment and all electrical plugs, outlets and lights within 1.5m (5 ) of the hot tub must be G.F.C.I protected .
Consult your electrician or local electrical authority for further details.
Access to the hot tub must always be secured:
Outdoors - in accordance with local property by-laws and/or via an approved fence with a self-closing gate and a safety
hardcover;
