Choosing the Best Position
Whenchoosingwheretopositionyourspapool,therstthingyoushouldconsider
iswhatisgoingbeneathit.Yourspapoolisveryheavy,weighinganythingbetween
1000kgand2500kgwhenlled.Itisthereforeveryimportantyouchoosean
adequatefoundationthatisstrongandleveltoensurethereisnoshiftingorstrain
on the spa pool shell or framing.
Thebasewerecommendyouuseiseitheraminimum100mmthickconcretepad,
orareinforceddeck.Ifyouchooseadeckasabase,pleasecheckthatitcomplies
withallNZ/AUSbuildingstandardsandthatitsmaxloadratingwilladequately
withstandyourspapool’sweight,plusthetotalbatherloadweight.
Check Drainage
Youneedtobesuretheareainwhichthespapoolisplacedhasenoughdrainage
capacitytohandletheentirewatercontentofthespapool.Intheeventofspillage,
areasaroundthespapoolmaybecomewet;therefore,allooring,furniture,walls
andadjacentstructuresshouldbemoisture-resistant.
Check Service Access
Itisimportanttoconsidertheaccesstothecabinetsurroundingthespapool.In
theunlikelyeventofaleakorissuewithcomponents,aserviceagentmayrequire
accesstoaparticularcabinet.Weadviseleavinga600mmperimeterofspace
aroundtheentirespapool,otherwisethespapoolmayneedtobemovedbythe
customerintoapositionsuitableforatechnicianatthetimeofservice.
Access to all cabinets is the responsibility of the owner.
Detailed Installation Guide
Formoredetailedinformationandtipsonpositioningandinstalling,wehighly
