CHOOSING A LOCATION
When selecting a location for your spa it should be set on a flat and level surface. Concrete, paving
slabs, tiles and structurally sound decking are all suitable but it should be considered that although
Rotospa products are relatively lightweight, when filled with water they can weigh well over 1000kg.
Siting the spa directly onto grass or earth is not recommend as insects and dust can shorten
equipment life. For the same reason unenclosed below ground use is also not recommended.
Rotospa hot tubs can be sunk into decking but certain considerations need to be taken into
account:

The spa must sit on a patio base or concrete bed
 Access to the full perimeter of the spa is provided for future servicing and maintenance;
therefore creating removable decking or an open crawl space underneath the decking is
advisable.
If the spa is sited indoors during use then water may splash or drip onto the floor, both around and
underneath; therefore appropriate care must be taken to avoid slips and falls. High room humidity
might also require good natural or forced ventilation to minimise moisture damage to the building.
DELIVERY
When your spa is delivered, it will arrive as a single unit and cannot be disassembled. In most
circumstances, it can be rolled from kerbside to the dedicated place where it will be situated. The spa
is well packaged and will not sustain any damage when rolled across domestic terrains such as grass
and pathways. Whilst your Rotospa will fit through a standard doorway and though some fairly
narrow passages, it is recommended you provide clear access to where you would like the spa
situated for ease of delivery.
If you have any special requirements regarding delivery, ensure you discuss these with your spa
supplier well in advance, so the necessary arrangements can be made.
SETTING UP
Your Rotospa hot tub is manufactured from a very tough and hard-wearing material that should
withstand everyday knocks and bumps but we recommend that care is taken in handling the spa and
protecting the surface from scratching to preserve its appearance. Once you have sited your spa the
packaging can be removed from it and all of its accessories.
The lockable thermal cover (when supplied) is rigid and is designed to insulate the spa and keep water
heat in, it is not suitable to be used for storage of any items placed upon it.
