SITE SELECTION AND PREPARATION
IMPORTANT: Site selection and preparation are your responsibility. Carefully read these
instructions and consult your authorized dealer if you have any questions. You probably have
a spot picked out for your new spa, whether it’s indoors or outdoors, on a patio or on a deck.
Just make sure you check the following:
• Always put your spa on a structurally smooth, level surface. A filled spa can weigh a great
deal. Make certain that the location you choose can support the weight of your filled spa.
• Locate your equipment compartment, which houses all of the electrical components, in a
place where water will drain away from it. Allowing water into the equipment compartment
can damage the electronics, or may result in tripping your house’s circuit breaker.
• Leave yourself easy access to the circuit breakers in the sub panel.
• Never let water get into the sub panel. Your 230 volt spa’s sub panel is rain tight when installed
correctly with the door closed.
• Leave access to the entire front of the spa (the removable panel provides access to the spa’s
equipment) for periodic spa care and maintenance.
• Note that on the Utopia and Surround Sound System Series spas, the Spa lighting fixtures
are located on only three sides, the side opposite the main control panel has no lighting.
IMPORTANT! Before preparing the drain pit, consult the local authorities about the
regulations for the discharging of chemically-treated water.
OUTDOOR AND PATIO INSTALLATION
No matter where you install your new spa, it’s important that you have a solid foundation to
support it. Structural damage to the spa resulting from incorrect installation or placement on
an inadequate foundation is not covered under the spa’s limited warranty. If you install the
spa outdoors, a reinforced concrete pad or structurally sound deck at least four inches thick
is required for the MySpa. The reinforcing rod or mesh in the pad should be attached to a
bond wire. All spas may be installed onto a deck, provided that the load capacity of the deck
is greater than the “Dead weight” of the spa (see Deck Installation). If you place the spa on
the ground, even temporarily, place stepping stones under the entire frame of the spa. The
stones should be at least 5 cm thick and 30 cm square. Even with stones in place, the spa will
inevitably settle and become unlevel. Plus, a spa surrounded by dirt or grass will soon be filled
with dirt or grass from users’ feet; therefore, it is important to get it onto a solid foundation as
soon as possible.
DECK INSTALLATION
To be certain your deck can support your spa, you must know the deck’s maximum load capacity.
Consult a qualified building contractor or structural engineer before you place the spa on an
elevated deck or indoors. To find the weight of your spa, its contents and occupants, refer to
the Spa Specification chart. This weight per square foot must not exceed the structure’s rated
capacity, or serious structural damage could result.
INDOOR/BASEMENT INSTALLATION
Be aware of some special requirements if you place your spa indoors. Water will accumulate
around the spa, so flooring materials must provide a good grip when wet. Proper drainage is
essential to prevent a build-up of water around the spa. When building a new room for the spa,
it is recommended that a floor drain be installed. The humidity will naturally increase with the
spa installed. Water may get into woodwork and produce dry rot, mildew, or other problems.
Check for airborne moisture’s effects on exposed wood, paper, etc. in the room. To minimize
these effects, it is best to provide plenty of ventilation to the spa area. An architect can help to
determine if more ventilation must be installed.
