Installation

The hot tub must be installed in such a manner as to provide drainage away from the hot tub.
Placing the hot tub in a depresion without provisions for proper drainage could allow rain,
overflow and other casual water to flood the equipment and create a wet condition in which it
would sit.
For hot tubs which will be recessed into a floor or deck, install so as to permit access to the
equipment, either from above or below, for servicing. Make certain that there are no obstructions
which would prevent removel of the cabinet side panels, especially on the side with the
equipment bay doors.
In selecting the ideal outdoor location for your hot tub, we suggest that you take into
consideration 1) the proximity to change area and shelter (especially in colder weather); 2)
the pathway to and from your hot tub (this should be free of debris so that dirt and leaves are
not easily tracked into the hot tub); 3) the closeness to trees and shrubbery (remember that
leaves and birds could create extra work in keeping the hot tub clean); 4) a sheltered
environment (less wind and weather exposure can result in lowered operation and maintenance
costs); and 5) the overall enhancement of your environment. It is preferable
not to place the
hot tub under an unguttered roof overhang since run-off water will shorten the life expectancy
of the hot tub cover.
For indoor installations, be certain to make provisions for proper ventilation. When the hot tub
is in use, considerable amounts of moisture will escape. This can damage certain surfaces
over time.
If you have any questions regarding the placement or installation of your hot tub, consult your
authorized Jacuzzi Premium Spas dealer or service organization.
