INSTALLATION & SET-UP
Before attempting to install or use your hot tub, please
read the U.L./CSA Safety Instructions, the Additional
Safety Instructions, as well as all of the Installation
Instructions that follow.
SELECTING A SITE FOR YOUR HOT TUB:
Your Tadpole Hot Tub was designed for either indoor or
outdoor use. Whether indoors or outdoors, please adhere
to the following guidelines:
1. Select a site that is stable and capable of supporting
the weight of your hot tub, its water, and the people
using it (refer to the “Model Brochure” or contact an
authorized Tadpole Hot Tub Dealer for the Filled Weight
of your hot tub). If installed on a suspended floor/deck,
the floor/deck should be capable of supporting your hot
tu. If you have concerns on this matter, please contact a
qualified Licensed Contractor.
2. Select a surface that is flat and reasonably level. This
surface must provide continuous support for the entire
bottom of the hot tub. Do not shim or block up the spa
creating voids below the hot tub.
3. Avoid installing the hot tub in a pit or low area where
water may accumulate and damage the spa or its
equipment. Choose a site where water will drain away
from the hot tub and not towards it.
4. Important: With all installations, the hot tub must be
located at least 5 feet from all electrical outlets, switches,
and other permanently installed electrical devices.
Indoor Considerations: There are several considerations
when installing your hot tub indoors: First, the
environment both around and below the hot tub should
be water resistant. It must be capable of handling water
splashed out from the spa as well as the possibility of a
leak from the hot tub (Your Tadpole portable hot tub is
the most leak-free hot tub in the industry, but there is
still the possibility of a leak from the hot tub. A catch
basin equivalent to the volume of your hot tub is
recommended); Second, it is recommended that the
room you install the hot tub in has proper ventilation.
Proper ventilation can usually be achieved by an exhaust
fan or an open window.
Note: Typical indoor surfaces include, but are not limited
to: concrete, wood, non-slip tile, or linoleum.
Outdoor Considerations: When selecting an outdoor
site, several things should be considered: First, Avoid
selecting a site where excessive water may contact the
hot tub, such as from sprinklers or a roof edge without
rain gutters; Second, and if possible, avoid areas of
direct, prolonged sunlight. The ultraviolet rays of
sunlight will tend to fade and damage your hot tub cover
and cabinet; Third, Check your local codes on possible
restrictions that require fencing or childproof gates
around your hot tub; Last, avoid locating your hot tub in
an area where debris will be tracked into the hot tub.
Note: Typical outdoor surfaces include, but are not
limited to: concrete, brick, non-slip tile, wood-decking,
peagravel or sand.
