duct damage and/or serious personal injury.
5.8 Insulation
It is important to create a well-insulated vault when installing a swim spa in ground. This can be done a couple of ways:
1)
Use insulated concrete forms when pouring the walls of the vault.;
2)
After installing the concrete block for the walls of the vault, add insulation material to the interior walls to create
well insulated area.
5.9 Set Up and Assembly
Once your swim spa is set into place, you can adjust the posts for levelling the swim spa and the equipment is already
connected.
5.10 Serviceability
Ensure that access to the equipment, and the working area around the equipment, is large enough to accommodate a
service person.
5.11 Equipment Protection
The equipment must be located in an area where it will remain dry and will not be exposed to rain, snow or ground
water. When your swim spa is to be installed above ground, the factory cabinet is designed for both protection, insulation
and accessibility. When your swim spa is to be installed fully or partially in the ground, or if you have ordered a swim spa
without a cabinet: it is necessary that the equipment be installed in an area that is dry, protected from the elements, has
proper ventilation, and is easily accessible for service.
For any installation, protection from rodent infestation is imperative: if the swim spa is being installed in ground without
a cabinet it is important to take the precautions required to make sure rodents don’t make a home in your vault area.
Protect access points and repair if needed.
