INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions in this manual prior to having your spa installed at the selected location, whether
indoors or outdoors. IMPROPER INSTALLATION MAY RESULT IN EQUIPMENT DAMAGE AND VOID
THE WARRANTY.
SURFACE AND PAD REQUIREMENTS
1.
L.A. Spas recommends your new spa be placed on a 4” (10 cm) thick reinforced concrete pad or
level foundation capable of supporting the total filled weight of your specific spa model. The
foundation should support the entire base of the spa and must offer structural integrity for the life of
the spa. A typical spa, filled with water, could weigh as much as 3 tons, and if the concrete is not
fully cured, it could easily crack. AN UNEVEN OR UNSTABLE FOUNDATION OR THE USE OF
SHIMS OF ANY KIND MAY CAUSE THE SPA TO BUCKLE, DISTORT, AND/OR CRACK, AND
WILL VOID THE WARRANTY ON YOUR SPA.
2.
If your spa is located near water sprinklers, adjust or cap them so the water will not hit the wood
cabinet of the spa.
3.
Balconies and decks must be constructed to current state and local codes to safely support the
maximum load of your water filled spa and the number of people using the spa. Check with your
construction contractor for these safety specifications.
4.
Access gates “fencing/wall” must be self-closing and self-locking. Check your local codes for
regulations regarding fences and gates.
5.
Ensure that the spa installation and location allows a clear and unobstructed access to the spa. It
is the responsibility of the owner to provide clear access on
all sides
of the spa for service. Failure
to do so may result in additional charges or assessments to service and/or repair the spa.
6.
Ensure that water drains away from the spa in order to keep water out of the equipment
compartment and away from all electrical components.
7.
Assure accessibility is maintained to your spa should the need arise. Your spa is an appliance and
may require occasional service requirements. Assure the installation allows access to the
equipment area, side panels, and removal of the spa if possible. Construction or reconstruction
costs associated with spa removal or reinstallation are not covered by the warranty.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
IMPROPER INSTALLATION MAY RESULT IN EQUIPMENT DAMAGE AND VOID THE WARRANTY.
NOTE: Do not turn on electrical power to your spa until you are told to do so later in the Owner’s
Manual.
1.
We strongly recommend that only a licensed and bonded electrician perform the electrical
installation. Improper electrical connections may damage the equipment, cause injury, cause a
fire, and void your spa warranty.
