CHOOSING A LOCATION FOR THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA
There are many factors to consider when choosing a location to set up the hydrotherapy spa. These factors vary
depending on whether you use the hydrotherapy spa inside or outside. We have listed several factors you may
wish to consider as you decide where you want to use the hydrotherapy spa.
If you set up the hydrotherapy spa inside:
1. The hydrotherapy spa will increase the level of
humidity in your home. The location you choose
should be well ventilated. You may need to install
a ventilation fan or use a dehumidifier.
2. The hydrotherapy spa should be close to a source
of water.
3. Do not use the hydrotherapy spa on carpet or
other material that may be damaged by moisture.
We recommend that you place the hydrotherapy
spa on a water- and stain-resistant, non-slip sur-
face with a floor drain for any water that may
splash from the hydrotherapy spa.
4. Be sure that the location you choose is stable. It
must be able to support the weight of the hydro-
therapy spa when it is filled with water, plus the
weight of the occupants. The hydrotherapy spa
weighs approximately 2000 pounds when filled
with water.
5. Do not use the hydrotherapy spa above a finished
living area, due to the risk of water damage.
6. Be sure that there is room around the hydrothera-
py spa to permit servicing of the unit. The dimen-
sions of the spa are: 5Õ10ÓW x 6Õ4ÓL x 2Õ6ÓH. You
should allow for this size when choosing the loca-
tion.
7. The hydrotherapy spa is not designed for in-floor
installation. However, it is compatible with a deck
system that is built flush with the top of the spa,
provided you leave access to the motor for
service.
8. Be sure to note any other considerations, such as
aesthetics or privacy concerns, which may affect
the safety or enjoyment of using the hydrotherapy
spa.
If you set up the hydrotherapy spa outside:
1. You should check your local building codes con-
cerning the use of outdoor spas.
2. The hydrotherapy spa should be close to a source
of water.
3. We recommend that you place the hydrotherapy
spa on a water- and stain-resistant, non-slip sur-
face. Do not use the hydrotherapy spa on rough
or sharp surfaces such as gravel or wood chips.
4. Be sure that the location you choose is stable. It
must be able to support the weight of the
hydrotherapy spa when it is filled with water, plus
the weight of the occupants. The hydrotherapy
spa weighs approximately 2000 pounds when
filled with water.
5. Think about environmental factors, such as rain,
wind, shade, sunlight, and so forth.
6. You should be able to monitor the use of the
hydrotherapy spa from your home, to prevent
unauthorized use by children. You may want to
enclose the spa with a fence and self-latching
gate to prevent unauthorized use.
7. Be sure that there is room around the hydrothera-
py spa to permit servicing of the unit. The dimen-
sions of the spa are: 5Õ10ÓW x 6Õ4ÓL x 2Õ6ÓH. You
should allow for this size when choosing the
location.
8. The hydrotherapy spa is not designed for in-
ground installation. However, it is compatible with
a deck system that is built flush with the top of the
spa, provided you leave access to the motor for
service.
9. Be sure to note any other considerations, such as
aesthetics or privacy concerns, which may affect
the safety or enjoyment of using the hydrotherapy
spa.
