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. See page 8 for conduit entry locations for your model
hot tub .
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, a Hot Tub Hard 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.
