REPARATION

Your Caldera spa has been engineered to perform on several types of
common yard surfaces. While a concrete slab is best for long-term
use*, other foundations are acceptable so long as a level base is
prepared prior to delivery. Three foundation base pictures, shown at
right, represent examples of alternatives to a concrete slab for spas
installed without gazebos or other accessories.

*NOTE:

A reinforced concrete pad at least four inches thick or

structurally sound deck able to support the “dead weight” found in
the spa specification chart is required for the Geneva

, Niagara

®

,

Elation

®

and Moorea

spas, and recommended for the Aspire

®

,

Tahitian

®

, Hawaiian, Martinique

®

and Kauai

®

spas.  The reinforcing

rod or mesh in the pad should be attached to a bond wire.

INSTALLATION NOTES:

• Concrete sloped at 1/2 inch per 10 feet is preferred so that rain 

water and water spillover will run off and not puddle 

underneath the spa (water under the spa for long periods of 
time may cause the wood to deteriorate). 

• If stepping stones or railroad ties are selected for the spa

foundation, they should be placed and leveled below the entire
spa to maintain even distribution of the spa weight.

• It is important to note that soft surfaces, even when stepping

stones are used to distribute the weight of the spa as evenly as
possible, will still have a tendency to settle unevenly, resulting
in an unlevel spa.

• Remember, placing the spa on grass or dirt may increase the

amount of debris which is inadvertently brought into the spa
water on the user’s feet.

If you are purchasing a deck package or a spa enclosure with your
spa, a solid foundation becomes mandatory. Placing them on any
surface other than a single level pad could create problems with their
installation. Pictured at right are a few of the recommended surfaces.

As a homeowner, it is your responsibility to provide a suitable, level
foundation for your spa. Keep in mind that most delivery crews are
not equipped to level and prepare spa sites.

If you are interested in having a concrete slab, brick surface, or wood deck installed, your Caldera dealer should be able to
suggest a qualified, licensed contractor.

First, locate the dimensions of your spa on the chart that is found on the next page. The dimensions shown are the
measurements of the spa in the vertical position, laid on its side.

Next, contact your dealer to find the height and width added by the delivery cart which the dealer will use to deliver your
new spa. Use the height of the cart plus the dimension shown as H to determine the vertical clearance required to pass the
spa and cart. Use the width of the cart, or dimension W, whichever is greater, to determine the maximum width of
clearance necessary.
