INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

SITE PREPARATION

You probably have a spot picked out for your new hot tub, whether it’s indoors or outdoors, on a patio or on a

deck. Just make sure you check the following:

• Always put your hot tub on a structurally sound, level surface. A filled hot tub can weigh a great deal.

Make certain that the location you choose can support the weight of your filled hot tub.

• Don’t forget to level your hot tub before filling it. (See Hot Tub Leveling Instructions.)
• Locate your equipment compartment, which houses all of the electrical components, in a place where

water drainage will be away from it. Do not allow water into the equipment compartment. Water can cause

damage to the electronics, or may trip the circuit breaker on your house’s electrical panel.

• Leave yourself easy access to the circuit breakers in the subpanel.
• Never let water get into the subpanel. Your 230 volt hot tub’s subpanel is rain-tight when installed

correctly with the door closed. Periodically check these conditions and correct any flaws if detected.

• Leave access to the equipment compartment for periodic hot tub care and maintenance.
• Your hot tub is equipped with an air-intake screen located between the base of the equipment compartment (center of compartment) and

the ground. Make sure the screen remains clear of debris at all times, this is the only location that allows air to flow into the equipment

compartment.

OUTDOOR AND PATIO INSTALLATION

No matter where you install your new hot tub, it’s important that you have a solid foundation to support it. Structural damage to the hot tub

resulting from incorrect installation, or placement on an inadequate foundation, is not covered under the hot tub’s limited warranty. 
If you install the hot tub outdoors, we recommend a reinforced concrete pad at least four inches thick. The reinforcing rod or mesh in the pad

should be attached to a #10 AWG bonding wire per national electrical codes (contact your local electrical code compliance inspector for more

information; inspection for proper grounding may be required before pouring concrete to form the slab). 
If you place the hot tub on the ground, even temporarily, place stepping stones under the leveling areas (see Hot Tub Leveling Instructions). The

stones should be at least two inches thick and twelve inches square. Even with stones in place, the hot tub will inevitably settle and become

unlevel. Plus, a hot tub surrounded by dirt or grass will soon be filled with dirt or grass from users’ feet; therefore, it’s important to get it onto a

solid foundation as soon as possible. 

DECK INSTALLATION

To be certain your deck can support your hot tub, you must know the deck’s maximum load capacity. Consult a qualified building contractor or

structural engineer. To find the weight of your hot tub, its contents and occupants, refer to the Hot Tub 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 hot tub indoors. Water will accumulate around the hot tub, so flooring materials must

provide a good grip when wet. Proper drainage is essential to prevent a build-up of water around the hot tub. When building a new room for the hot

tub it is recommended that a floor drain be installed. The humidity will naturally increase with the hot tub 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 hot tub area. An architect can help to determine if more ventilation must be installed. 
Your Limelight dealership can help you with local information such as zoning regulations and building codes. They can also give you a copy of our

planning guide – just ask for Limelight hot tub Pre-Delivery Instructions.

WARNING: Please keep the area around your hot tub well ventilated when it is installed indoors or in a confined area.

Inadequate ventilation

around the hot tub could cause a build-up of a higher-than-normal concentration of hot tub chemicals and/or bacterial fragments. These dispersed

hot tub chemicals and/or bacterial fragments can be inhaled, and may result in breathing difficulties or lung damage in certain people suffering from a

compromised immune system or respiratory infection. If you or other bathers are affected by this condition, please seek medical attention as soon as

possible.

Installation Instructions

WARNING

Lowering the top of the spa

to deck level substantially

increases the potential of

accidental entry. Contact

your Limelight

TM

Dealer for

more information and

consult a licensed building

contractor to design or

evaluate your custom

decking requirements.
