ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
SITE PREPARATION:
1. IMPORTANT - Because of the combined weight of the spa, water and users,
your spa should always be installed on a structurally sound, relatively smooth, flat
and level surface that is capable of uniformly supporting this weight for the entire
time the spa is installed. If the spa is placed on a surface, which does not meet
these requirements, any damage caused by improper support is not covered under
the manufacturer’s warranty. It is the responsibility of the spa owner to assure the
integrity of the site at all times.
2. Your spa should be connected to a grounded outlet within eight feet of the spa.
There should be easy access to the plug for periodic testing of the cord mounted
GFCI.
3. Make sure that there are no sharp objects under the spa.

INDOOR INSTALLATION:
Take special consideration to the following issues when installing your spa indoors.
1. Make sure the floor can support the total spa filled weight of 1500lbs (682 Kgs)
and combined user weight.
2. Install your spa on a water resistant, non-slip floor. The floor should have a drain
to remove water splashed from the spa. Do not install the spa on carpet or other
material that will be damaged by moisture.
3. Allow enough clearance around the spa for full access to the spa equipment for
service.
4. Avoid installing the spa indoors on a second story above finished living space due
to the possibility of water and humidity damage.
5. Take into consideration the room humidity which will exist due to high
temperatures. Providing ventilation in the room will help maintain comfort and
minimize moisture damage to the surrounding environment.
NOTE: Do not install the spa on carpet or other material that can be damaged by
moisture.
OUTDOOR INSTALLATION:
You may install your spa on any smooth, level surface that is strong enough to
support the filled weight of 1500lbs (682 Kgs) and combined user weight. The
following considerations must be taken when installing your spa outdoors.
1. Check local code requirements for restrictions such as fencing, enclosures,
childproof gates, etc.
2. Verify that there is adequate room to place the spa and permit safe access.
3. Do not install the spa on grass or dirt, as this will greatly increase the amount of
debris entering the spa. An 8’ x 8’ stone or solid wood surface, 5 to 9 inches in
height is recommended.
4. Take into consideration the positioning of the spa for draining purposes.
5. Make sure there are no sharp objects under the spa.
6. Do not leave the spa’s surface exposed to direct sunlight for prolonged periods of
time.
