3. IMPORTANT SAFETY & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

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100mmconcretepad,orareinforced
deck.Ifyouchooseadeckasabase,pleasecheckthatitcomplieswithallNZ
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
recommendyoureadthroughour‘Pre-DeliveryGuide’.Theguidewasemailedto

BALANCING & SANITIZING THE WATER
Just like a car, your spa pool needs care and general maintenance to keep it looking good
and running smoothly. Anintegralpartofthismaintenanceismanagingthewaterquality.
To ensure your spa pool is ready to be used at all times, the water needs to be sanitized
and balanced to keep it clean and fresh.
You may have received a Water Care Startup Kit with your spa pool (please purchase one
if you have not). Follow the ‘WaterCareHandbook’ found in your iPack or download a
copy from our support page link at the bottom of this page.
Follow the water care startup procedure found in the Water Care Handbook to setup the
water for use.
FAILING TO BALANCE AND SANITIZE YOUR SPA POOL
CORRECTLY MAY RESULT IN CORROSION OR DAMAGE TO
COMPONENTS, WHICH IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.
