Installation Instructions
Location Preparation
Your Saratoga Spa is totally self-contained and portable.You can install the spa outside or
inside. Preferable places are on a patio, deck or indoors.The spa should always be placed on
a structurally strong, level surface. Other items you need to consider are the following:
•Verify that the location chosen can support the weight of the spa, the water of the spa and its occupants.
• Always check the surface of the site to see if it is level before filling the spa with water.
• Allow access to the equipment compartment for routine maintenance.
• When positioning the spa, be sure to allow for drainage away from the electrical compartment.
• Leave easy access to the GFCI breaker.
WARNING:
The Saratoga Spa is manufactured to be a portable unit.Any permanent installation of this product
is done at the risk of the owner. Permanent installation of this unit violates warranty coverage.
Outdoor Installation
Always keep in mind what type of climate you live in. In a climate with cold, snowy winters
you may want to consider locating the spa close to the house for easy access. In climates
where it is normally warm or hot year-round, it would be recommended to place the spa in
a shaded or cool area.With deck installations it is recommended that a qualified building
contractor or structural engineer review the weight the deck can support.The spa
specification sheet (on page 6) can assist you with the weights and dimensions of your spa.
Indoor Installation
Special requirements are needed for indoor installation. Spas normally produce moisture.A
ventilation system needs to be considered.Your spa area should contain moisture resistant
wall/floor coverings and building materials to avoid damage from moisture over time. Proper
drainage of the spas water also needs to be considered.
Important:
Your Saratoga Spa is equipped with air vents to allow for circulation of air
throughout the equipment compartment.These vents are found on the face of
the equipment compartment panel and under the corners of the spa at the
equipment compartment end. Do not allow vents to be blocked as to prevent
the circulation of air in the equipment compartment.
