Location and Installation
Proper planning is an important consideration when installing your new spa / hot tub.
Site selection is a critical step and requires serious thought. Planning ahead makes the
installation process easier. The following information is provided to assist you in site
preparations.
1. Always comply with local building codes and obtain any necessary permits. You
may also need to consult with an engineer to address your specific design
needs.
2. Contact an electrician to assess your electrical needs, install wiring, and assure
a safe operation.
3. Position your spa / hot tub with proper access to water, drainage, and electricity.
4. Place your spa / hot tub on a uniform solid, flat surface designed to properly
support its weight. For external installations, a 4-inch (10 cm) thick cement pad
suffices. See page 15 for conduit entry locations for your model spa.
5. For internal installations, check the load carrying capabilities of the floor on
which the spa will reside. Most homes meet the requirement of 80 pounds per
square foot.
6. Assure that your spa / hot tub will fit into the space you have chosen and the
delivery route will accommodate its large size.
7. Provide adequate ventilation for the humidity created by your spa / hot tub. In
most cases, the Color Coordinated Cover is sufficient.
8. Protect the pump and all equipment from the weather by ensuring the cabinet
panels are secure at all times.
9. Allow 36 inches (1 meter) of unobstructed access to all sides of your spa / hot
tub for normal servicing. Your spa / hot tub is not designed to be recessed in the
ground or in a deck.

For HELP, call La-Z-Boy®Spas at 1.800.465.2933.
The following dimensions can be used to determine the proper location of submerged
conduits in concrete slab installations. All dimensions are made from the outside of the
spa / hot tub frame with the access panels removed. The topside control panel is
shown at bottom of diagram for reference.

Soul Mate 16” (41 cm) 18” (46 cm)
Table 1 – Conduit Entry Location Dimensions
10.Consider positioning your spa / hot tub out of or adequately protecting it from
the wind. Just as people can get cold on cool/windy days so can your spa / hot
tub. Windy environments can significantly increase operating costs.
11.Consider using an insulating pad. In cold climates, the ground can rob heat from
the spa / hot tub and increase your operating costs. Consider using a suitable,
outdoor insulating pad in such environments.

Electrical Specifications
Important: Qualified and licensed electricians must perform all electrical hookups.
The following specifications must be followed in order to ensure proper performance
and safety.
WARNING:Starting an incorrectly wired spa / hot tub could cause
severe damage to the mechanical equipment or even
bodily harm. Have your licensed electrician verify GFCI
wiring with the schematics on pages 17 - 18 prior to
starting the spa / hot tub or call your local dealer.
CAUTION: Failure to abide by specifications listed may result in
damage to the equipment and will void the warranty.
All spa / hot tubs must be wired with a 50 Ampere (A) breaker (or according to IEE wire
regulations for export models). Failure to do so will cause equipment damage and will
not be covered under your guarantee.
All spa / hot tubs must be protected with an over current protective device with built-in
GFCI in the service panel.

For HELP, call La-Z-Boy®Spas at 1.800.465.2933.
Parts with extra low voltage (not exceeding 12V) must be inaccessible to a person in
the spa / hot tub. Earthed appliances must be permanently connected to fixed wiring.
Parts incorporating electrical components must be located or fixed so that they
cannot fall into the spa / hot tub.
Means for disconnection must be used with fixed wiring configurations in accordance
with local wiring rules.
IMPORTANT: To allow the GFCI to function properly, connect the white Neutral wire
from the spa / hot tub to the Neutral terminal on the GFCI breaker, not the Neutral bus
in the GFCI breaker box. An improperly connected Neutral causes the GFCI breaker
to trip.
Figure 3 - GFCI Wiring
WARNING: Disconnect the electrical power before servicing.
Before obtaining access to terminals, all supply circuits
must be disconnected.

Before Adding Water
Before adding water, go through these simple steps now to prevent common issues
when setting up your spa / hot tub for the first time. Verify that the following have all
been rechecked.
1. Turn off all power at the main breaker panel.
2. Open the side panels to access the internal components.
3. Check that all slide valves are opened (service T-handles
pulled out) to the heater and all pumps.
4. Check that there are no obvious signs of loose wires or
broken pipes.
5. Check that the two heater unions are tight. Figure 6 - Valve Open/Closed
6. Check that the unions on all pumps are tight.
7. Clean out any foreign debris from within the service access area or inside of the
spa / hot tub itself.
8. With the drain open and filters removed, thoroughly rinse out the spa / hot tub with
warm water until the drained water runs clear. Run water through the filtration
canister and jet lines to remove any incidental dust, dirt, and debris that may have
accumulated during shipment or installation. Drain all water completely.
9. Make sure that the spa / hot tub drain valve is closed and the cap is on tight (see
page 59).
10.Install the filter(s) in the filtration canister.
11.Check that all of the jets are open (turned full counter-clockwise – except for 5”
spinner jets which open clockwise).
12.Now is the best time to clean and polish the surfaces of your spa (see page 60).
