SPA INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
The spa should be installed on a concrete pad that is at least 10cm/ in in thickness. The concrete
should be sloping enough to permit water drainage away from the spa and its electrical components.
If you chose to put your spa on another kind of pad, it must be strong enough to support the com-
bined weight of the spa, the water and the individuals in the spa. A spa with 5 seats and a capacity of
2000l/ 500 gal can weigh up to 2500kg/ 5000lb, including the water and people.
When locating and installing your spa, make sure that the equipment compartment is easily accessi-
ble for maintenance.
Outdoor Location
If you install your spa outdoors, please consider the following points:
1. Walking areas around the spa and the path to it should be free of dirt, sand and other debris you
don’t want in the spa.
2. The spa should not be installed close to, or under trees. Tree leaves and birds are detrimental to
spa cleanliness.
3. A spa sheltered from weather factors is less expensive to maintain and operate.
4. Thoughtful location of your spa can enhance your privacy safety and security and add to your
enjoyment of your spa.
Indoor Location
If you install your spa indoors, 2 things need to be considered: water drainage and ventilation. When
using the spa, steam escaping from the water surface should be vented out to avoid damage to the
room interiors.
