CHOOSING A LOCATION FOR THE SPA
There are many factors to consider when choosing a location to set up the spa. These factors vary depending
on whether you plan to use the spa inside or outside. We have listed several factors you may wish to consider
as you decide where you want to set up your spa.
If you set up the spa inside:
1. The 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 location must be close to an electrical outlet.
Do not use an extension cord with the spa.
3. The spa should be close to a source of water.
4. Do not use the spa on carpet or other material
that may be damaged by moisture. We recom-
mend that you place the spa on a water- and
stain-resistant, non-slip surface with a floor drain
for any water that may splash from the spa.
5. Be sure that the location you choose is stable. It
must be able to support the weight of the spa
when it is filled with water, plus the weight of the
occupants. The spa weighs approximately 1,400
pounds when filled with water.
6. Do not use the spa above a finished living area,
due to the risk of water damage.
7. Be sure that there is room around the spa to per-
mit servicing of the unit. The dimensions of the
spa are: 3’ 7” W x 7’ 6” L x 2’ 5” H. You should
allow for this size when choosing the location.
8. The 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.
9. Be sure to note any other considerations, such as
aesthetics or privacy concerns, that may affect the
safety or enjoyment of using the spa.
If you set up the spa outside:
1. Check your local building codes concerning the
use of outdoor spas.
2. The location must be close to an electrical outlet.
Do not use an extension cord with the spa.
3. The spa should be close to a source of water.
4. We recommend that you place the spa on a
water- and stain-resistant, non-slip surface. Do not
use the spa on rough or sharp surfaces such as
gravel or wood chips.
5. Be sure that the location you choose is stable. It
must be able to support the weight of the spa
when it is filled with water, plus the weight of the
occupants. The spa weighs approximately 1,400
pounds when filled with water.
6. Consider environmental factors such as rain, wind,
shade, sunlight, and so forth.
7. You should be able to monitor the use of the 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 unautho-
rized use.
8. Be sure that there is room around the spa to per-
mit servicing of the spa. The dimensions of the
spa are: 3’ 7” W x 7’ 6” L x 2’ 5” H. You should
allow for this size when choosing the location.
9. The 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.
10. Be sure to note any other considerations, such as
aesthetics or privacy concerns, that may affect the
safety or enjoyment of using the spa.
