LOCATION ANALYSIS
If you have an idea of how you want to
use your whirlpool, it will help you deci-
de where to place it. For example, do you
use it purely for relaxation or also for
therapeutic purposes? If you want your
whirlpool mainly for the relaxation of
your family, make sure you leave enough
space for other activities. If you use the
whirlpool for relaxation and therapy,
you may want to adapt the surroundings
to this.
Think about the environment throug-
hout the year so that you create the best
conditions for you. Include the view of
your neighbours in your selection.
To protect the hot tub from dirt and
spills, place a foot mat in front of the
entrance so that users can clean their
feet before entering the pool. If possible,
provide a water bowl for washing the
feet.
A distance of at least 1 metre is required
around the whirlpool tub so that quali-
fied personnel can maintain the device.
Consult the responsible civil engineer to
make sure that the foundation on which
you want to place the whirlpool tub can
also hold the weight of the pool all the
time. Especially if the pool is to be pla-
ced on a garage, balcony, eaves or other
platform.
If the whirlpool is used, the surrounding
area may become wet. All objects, furni-
ture and walls in the immediate vicinity
should therefore be resistant to moistu-
re or water.
Ensure that you position the whirlpool so that all equipment is accessible and the side fittings are not blocked.
Ensure that your installation follows all relevant local, state and national safety guidelines.
