3.0 Locating Your Sundance Hot Tub
IMPORTANT: Because of the combined weight of the hot tub, water and
users, it is extremely important that the base upon which the hot tub rests be
smooth, flat, level and capable of uniformly supporting this weight, without
shifting or settling, for the entire time the hot tub is in place. If the hot tub is
placed on a surface which does not meet these requirements, damage to the
skirt and/or the hot tub shell may result. Damage caused by improper sup-
port is not covered under the factory warranty. It is the responsibility of the
hot tub owner to assure the integrity of the support at all times.
We recommend a poured, reinforced concrete slab with a minimum thickness
of 10cm. Wood decking is also acceptable provided it is constructed so that
it meets the requirements outlined above.
The hot tub must be installed in such a manner as to provide drainage away
from it. Placing the hot tub in a depression without provisions for proper
drainage could allow rain, overflow and other casual water to flood the equip-
ment and create a wet condition in which it would sit. For hot tubs which will
be recessed into a floor or deck, install so as to permit access to the equip-
ment, either from above or below, for servicing. Make certain that there are
no obstructions which would prevent removal of the cabinet side panels, espe-
cially on the side with the equipment bay doors.
3.1 Outdoor Locations
In selecting the ideal outdoor location for your hot tub, we suggest that you
take into consideration 1) the proximity to changing area and shelter (espe-
cially in colder weather); 2) the pathway to and from your hot tub (this should
be free of debris so that dirt and leaves are not easily tracked into the hot tub);
3) the closeness to trees and shrubbery (remember that leaves and birds
could create extra work in keeping the hot tub clean); 4) a sheltered environ-
ment (less wind and weather exposure can result in lowered operation and
maintenance costs); and 5) the overall enhancement of your environment. It
is preferable
not to place the hot tub under an unguttered roof overhang since
run-off water will shorten the life expectancy of the hot tub cover.
3.2 Indoor Locations
For indoor installations, be certain to make provisions for proper ventilation.
When the hot tub is in use, considerable amounts of moisture will escape.
This can damage certain surfaces over time.
