CHOOSING A LOCATION
This spa is designed for indoor or outdoor use. Factors to consider
when choosing a location for the spa include: weight of the spa,
indoor/outdoor location and drainage. The following section provides
guidelines that must be followed. It is the sole responsibility of the
spa owner to ensure proper installation of the spa.
IMPORTANT: The base upon which the spa is placed must be
smooth, flat, level and capable of uniformly supporting the combined
weight of the spa, water and users, without shifting or settling, for
the entire time the spa is in place. If the spa is placed on a surface
which does not meet these requirements, damage to the Spa Skirt
and/or Spa Shell may result. Damage caused by improper support is
not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. It is the responsibility of
the spa owner to ensure the integrity of the supporting structure at all
times. SPA BASE: We recommend a poured, steel reinforced concrete
slab with a minimum thickness of 4 inches (10cm). Wood decking is
acceptable if it is constructed so that it meets the structural
requirements outlined above.
The spa location must provide drainage away from the spa. Placing
the spa in a depression without provisions for proper drainage could
allow rain water, snow melt, overflow and other casual water to flood
the equipment bay, creating a wet condition in which the spa could
be damaged. For spas recessed into a deck, installation must permit
access to the spa access panels, either from above or below for
servicing. Ensure that there are no obstructions which would prevent
removal of all access panels and access to jet components, espe-
cially on the side of the access panels (typically under the topside
Console).
WEIGHT CALCULATIONS: See spa specifications for exact weights.
Typically the dry weight of a spa can range from 600-1000 lbs (US)
(220-455 kg) dry. The volume of the spa can range from 300-400
gallons US (1135-1515 litres). Use the average weight of water (8 lbs
(US) per gallon or 2.1 kg per litre) to approximate the total weight of
the spa without users.
OUTDOOR LOCATION
Considerations for selecting an outdoor spa location:
Proximity to the power source (long length of cable can be
expensive)
Local building and home owner association codes pertaining to
the installation of a portable spa
Do not place your spa within 3m of overhead power lines. Make
sure the spa is positioned so that access to the equipment
compartment and all side panels will not be blocked. Be certain
that your installation will meet all relevant local, and national
safety codes and requirements.
How you intend to use your spa will help you determine where
you should position it. If your spa is mainly used for family
recreation be sure to leave plenty of room around it for activity.
If you will use it for relaxation and therapy, you’ll probably want to
create a specific mood around it.
If you live in a region where it is cold or rains frequently, place the
spa near a house entry.
In a cold-weather climate, bare trees won’t provide much privacy.
Think of your spa’s surroundings during all seasons to determine
your best privacy options. Consider the view of your neighbours
when you plan the location of your spa.
Prevent dirt and contaminants from being tracked into your spa
by placing a foot mat at the spa’s entrance where the bather’s
can clean their feet before entering your spa. You may also
consider keeping a small water-filled basin nearby for bathers to
rinse their feet before enter your spa.
Adequate space for spa with accessibility for service (Clearance
of 3 ft (1m) around the spa is recommended to permit servicing
the unit)
Proper structural support is critical. Consult a licensed
professional Structural Engineer to determine if the foundation
will adequately support the spa the entire time it will be in place,
especially if the spa is to be placed on a deck, balcony, roof or
other platform not specifically tied into the main structural
support.
Drainage: The area in which the spa is placed must have
adequate drainage to handle the entire water content of the spa.
In the event of spillage, areas around the spa may become wet;
therefore, all flooring, furniture, walls and adjacent structures
should be able to withstand or resist water and moisture.
Pathway to and from the spa (free of debris, dirt and leaves as
not to be tracked into the spa)
Closeness to trees and shrubbery (leaves and birds create extra
cleaning)
• Sheltered environment (less wind and weather exposure results
in lower operating and maintenance costs)
Proximity to changing area and shelter (especially in cold
weather)
Environmental factors such as rain, wind, snow and sunlight (run
off water, as from an unguttered roof overhang, shortens the
life expectancy of the spa cover)
Accessibly to children (you should be able to monitor the use of
the spa from the home to prevent unauthorised use by children;
you may want to enclose the spa with a fence or a self latching
gate to prevent unauthorised use)
Cover lift clearance (if you will be installing a cover lift as an add-
on feature, allow 3ft (1m) on all sides of the spa)
