damage to the spa, resulting from incorrect installation or placement on an inadequate foundation, is not covered

If you install the spa outdoors, we recommend a reinforced concrete pad at least four inches thick. The
reinforcing rod or mesh in the pad should be attached to a bond wire.

INdOOR/BASEMENT INSTAllATION
Be aware of some special requirements if you place your spa indoors. Water will accumulate around the spa, so flooring materials must provide
a good grip when wet. Proper drainage is essential to prevent a build-up of water around the spa. When building a new room for the spa it is
recommended that a floor drain be installed. The humidity will naturally increase with the spa installed indoors. Water may get into woodwork and

effects, it is best to provide plenty of ventilation to the spa area. An architect can help to determine if more ventilation must be installed.
Your spa dealer can help you with local information such as zoning regulations and building codes.
WARNING: Please keep the area around your spa well ventilated when it is installed indoors or in a confined area.
Inadequate ventilation around the spa could cause a build-up of a higher-than-normal concentration of spa chemicals and/or bacterial fragments.
These dispersed spa chemicals and/or bacterial fragments can be inhaled, and may result in breathing difficulties or lung damage in certain
people suffering from a compromised immune system or respiratory infection. If you or other bathers are affected by this condition, please seek
medical attention as soon as possible.
In addition to the above, properly clean and maintain your spa as follows:

SPA lEVElING PREPARATION
Concrete sloped at ½ inch (1.3 cm) per 10 feet (305 cm) is preferred so that rain water and water spillover will run off and not puddle underneath
the spa (water under the spa for long periods of time may cause the wood to deteriorate). Other options are brick, stepping stone, or blocks.
It is important to note that soft surfaces, even when stepping stones are used to evenly distribute the weight of the spa, will have a tendency to
settle, thus resulting in an unleveled spa.
NOTE: Placing the spa on grass or dirt may increase the amount of debris which is inadvertently brought into the spa water and may cause harm
to your equipment as well as the spa surface, which is not covered under warranty.
Spa models can not be shimmed. Make sure the pad where the spa will be placed onto is level as illustrated above. No other leveling is needed.
