2.0 Provision of spa
IMPORTANT: Due to the combine weight of the spa, water an its occupants, it is extremely
important that the spa rests on a soli surface, smooth, level an capable of uniformly supporting this
weight, without risk of lan sli e or subsi ence, as long as it is in place. If the spa is place on a
surface that oes not meet these requirements, the skirt an / or the hull may be amage . Such
amage to a support are not covere by warranty. It is the spa owner's responsibility to ensure
integrity support at all times. We recommen using a concrete slab reinforce , poure in place an a
thickness of 10cm. A woo en eck is also acceptable
as long as its construction meets the requirements outline above.
The spa must be installe to allow rainage of water. The installation of a spa in a pit/hole without
proper rainage, allows the risk of letting the rain, floo ing an other source of casual water to floo
the spa equipment which coul cause amage to the spas equipment. For spas embe e in a floor
or eck, the facility must allow access to equipment, either the top or bottom for maintenance. Make
sure there is no obstruction which hin ers the removal of si e panels an access to parts of the jets,
particularly si e oors for access to equipment.
2.1 Location out oor
When selecting the i eal out oor location for your spa, we suggest to take the following into account:
1. The proximity of a shelter an a place to change.
2. The path lea ing to the spa (it must be clean an clear to prevent irt being rawn into the spa)
3. The proximity of trees an shrubbery (leaves an ea bir s may make it ifficult to keep the spa
clean)
4. A sheltere place (re uce exposure to win an weather can re uce operating costs an
maintenance)
5. The general beautification of your environment. It is preferable not to place the spa un er the
overhang of a roof without gutters because the water flow will shorten the life of the spa cover.
2.2 Location in oor
For installations in oor, there are many factors to consi er before you begin:
1. A equate foun ation: consult a structural engineer to provi e a foun ation which can properly bear
the spa all the time where they will remain in place. A a equate support is especially vital if the spa
must be installe in the secon floor or higher. For spas to relax on a balcony, a roof, a platform not
specifically linke to the main structure or not been specifically esigne to accommo ate spa, you
shoul consult an structural engineer or architect with experience in this type of application.

4
2. Proper rainage: it is essential that the facility is capable of accepting major spills of water. Make
sure the floor on which the spa is to be site has suitable rainage an can accept the entire contents
of the tub.
Be sure to arrange for ceilings an other structures locate in the spa. The sealing of ecks, ceilings
are of
responsibility of the owner. In case of water amage, the manufacturer of the spa can not be hel
responsible. The area surroun ing the spa may become amp or wet an the floor, furniture, walls an
a jacent structures must be able to resist water an moisture.
3. A equate ventilation: the question of ventilation shoul be iscusse with an engineer or authority
competent to un erstan the steps necessary to ventilate moist air or heate or fille with the smell of
chemicals. Using a spa can pro uce a significant amount of moisture which can cause mol over time,
amaging certain areas an certain objects.
4. Sufficient access: In the unlikely event that you nee to access every element of the spa for a
repair, it is strongly recommen e that the in oor facility will allow full access to any location of the
spa.
5. Warranty: Warranty oes not cover amage cause by the non observation of these gui elines or
by the improper installation not in accor ance with regulations or local co es.
6. WARNING: in a ition to maintenance of filters an chemical equilibrium of water, it is a visable to
have a equate ventilation to re uce risks exposure to viruses an bacteria that may be present in air
or water.
Consult an architect or a license contractor to etermine the nee s specific to installing a spa
in oors.

After connecting your spa (see Section 4.0 Instruction for wiring) .Remove the filter cover an filter an
insert the filler pipe in compartment of the filter. This metho allows the pumps to start easier.
Once the water level is between the jets an the highest pillows, put spa on. If pump 1 oes not start
automatically
See section 10.3 Filling the tub to keep prime the pumps.

11
11.2 pH
The pH is a measure of aci ity or alkalinity of the water on a scale of 0 to 14. The mi point of 7 is
calle neutral, above which the water is alkaline, an below, aci . For the spa water, IT IS VERY
IMPORTANT TO MAINTAIN A
Slightly alkaline 7.4 to 7.6. The problems worsen as a function of the remoteness of the measuring
range. A low pH will be corrosive to metals on the spa equipment. A high pH will cause the eposit of
minerals on the surface
In a ition to the ability of sanitizers to clean the spa is greatly affecte when the pH eviates from the
i eal range.
Every week the water shoul be measure with a ipstick to test the pH an if necessary the correct.
Normally in a spa pH naturally ten s to rise, this so that the pH- can be a juste .
11.3 Treatment with bromine
Bromine is a isinfectant. Bromine is effective an requires little supervision. 1 or 2 oses per week
are a sufficient. However bromine is slightly fragrant, which may cause
inconvenience to people particularly sensitive. In this case, a softer treatment like active oxygen woul
be more appropriate. For usage of bromine, see the label on the packaging.
11.4 Treatment with oxygen
Oxygen has the a vantage of being especially gentle on the skin an little fragrant. A osage of 3 to 4
times per week is sufficient. The isa vantage is that active oxygen nee s to be a e to the spa
water more regularly than of bromine (only 1 time / week).
11.5 Treatment with chlorine
The chlorine treatment is probably the most popular.
Chlorine is the most often use for resi ential spas, mainly for the low cost an effectiveness. The
is-a vantage is the smell an possible irritant to certain skins. It will require regular osages 1 or
twice per week.
11.6 Maintaining weekly
Each week there is a nee to take a few minutes to maintain the spa. First, check the cleanliness of
the filter an rinse with a jet of water with power to remove ebris from between the fol s. Start from
the top to the own. A clean filter is essential to ensure optimum filtration.
-Check the pH using test strips an correct it if necessary. The i eal pH is between 7.2 an 7.4.
-Depen ing on the treatment you use, make sure the level of isinfectant is correct.
-If you notice a buil up of tartar on the hull, remove them before the phenomenon worsening.
-Generally try to avoi stagnant water close to the controls venturi or keypa . With a towel, ry these
surfaces, thereby simplifying maintenance an slowing the aging of your spa.
