LOCATION
For your portable spa to function properly and
safely, it must be located on a hard, flat, level
surface. Inground spas require special installation
techniques and should be planned in conjunction
with your spa dealer. Improper installation can
result in structural damage to the spa and the
voiding of your spa warranty. Items to discuss with
your dealer include: local construction codes;
electrical service requirements; serviceability of
equipment; present underground obstructions
such as gas, water, and telephone lines; safety
measures such as fences and locks; and visibility
of the spa installation from the home, street, and
neighbors.
• Allow for sufficient water drainage around the
spa to help preserve the equipment and support
structure. This includes indoor installations.
• A filled spa can weigh in excess of 4,000
pounds and the location should support the
weight of the filled spa.
• Locate the equipment compartment where it will
be accessible. Your spa MUST be installed to
permit access for servicing the equipment
above and/or below any decks or floors. Access
is essential and must allow adequate room for
service.
• Leave access to the circuit breakers in the sub
panel (240V models) or to the interrupter switch
(GFCI, 120V models) on the end of the power cord.
• Be sure the spa is level and in the final position
BEFORE filling with water. Check for power
cords, tools, and hoses that may be caught
underneath the spa.
•
IMPORTANT: DO NOT LET AN EMPTY SPA
REMAIN EXPOSED TO DIRECT SUNLIGHT.
Spa surface temperatures can reach in excess
of 150°F (65°C) if left exposed to the sun.
Significant damage can occur if this is allowed to
happen, including warping and blistering of the
surface. Damage, that occurs as a result of this
exposure is not covered under the warranty.
•
CAUTION:
Never try to move a spa that has not
been fully drained. To do so could result in dam-
age to the spa and physical injury to the mover.
