Proper planning is an important consideration when installing your new hot tub. Site selection is
a critical step and requires serious thought. Planning ahead makes the installation process
easier. The following information is provided to assist you in site preparations.
1) Always comply with local building codes and obtain any necessary permits. You may also
need to consult with an engineer to address your specific design needs.
2) Contact an electrician to assess your electrical needs, install wiring, and assure a safe
operation.
3) Position your hot tub with proper access to water, drainage, and electricity.
4) Place your hot tub on a uniform solid, flat surface designed to properly support its weight.
For external installations, a 4-inch (10 cm) thick cement pad suffices.
5) For internal installations, check the load carrying capabilities of the floor on which the hot
tub will reside. Most homes meet the requirement of 80 pounds per square foot.
6) Assure that your hot tub will fit into the space you have chosen and the delivery route will
accommodate its large size.
7) Provide adequate ventilation for the humidity created by your hot tub. In most cases, our
Hot Tub Heat Shield Cover is sufficient.
8) Protect the pump and all equipment from the weather by ensuring the cabinet panels are
secure at all times.
9) Allow 36 inches (1 meter) of unobstructed access to all sides of your hot tub for normal
servicing. Your hot tub is not designed to be recessed in the ground or in a deck.
