2. SITE SELECTION AND PREPARATION
3. INSTALLATION - PLACING YOUR SPA
The location of your hot tub is entirely up to you.
Carefully read these instructions for various ideas of
locations that your new spa may be placed.
By the time you have made your spa purchase, you
probably have a spot already picked out. Prior to the
spa delivery, please verify the following:
Outdoor and patio installation
To position the spa correctly in your backyard is very important. The reason is your
spa’s warranty. The warranty on a spa is voided if the site is not 100% supportive. If
you install your hot tub outdoors, a concrete pad is the best method for a stable and
level surface. The concrete pad should be four inches thick. Your spa may be installed
on a deck, providing the load rating can handle a full spa with people in it.
Deck Installation
When placing the spa on a deck, please ensure
the maximum load capacity of the deck. Consult a
qualied deck builder or structural engineer before
you place the hot tub on an elevated deck or indoors.
To determine the weight of your hot tub, please refer
to the specications on the website. This weight
must not exceed the structural weight of the deck.
Indoor Installation
When installing a spa indoors, there are some special considerations. The combination
of heat and moisture will accumulate on the oor and surrounding the spa. The
ooring material needs to provide a grip when wet. The location also needs proper
drainage to prevent water build-up around the spa. When building a room
• Always place the spa on a compacted and level surface. The best surface is a
level concrete pad. A spa, full of water, can weigh a great deal. Please ensure
the spot can support the weight.
• Make sure to level your spa before lling it.
• Locate the equipment panel. The system pack, drain valve, and ozone
generator are usually located all in the same area. Be sure that the connections
are tightened during lling. Water inside the system pack will cause the pack
to fail and the breaker to trip.
• The panels on all four sides are removable. Be sure to have access on all four
sides.
• Be sure to have easy access to the circuit breaker in the sub panel (240 volt
models).
• Never let water into the sub panel (240 volt models), or into the electrical
outlet that your spa is plugged in to. Your 240 volt spa’s sub panel is rain tight
when installed correctly with the door closed.
