1 Pre-Delivery Checklist Most cities and counties require permits for exterior construction and electrical circuits. In addition, some communities have codes requiring residential barriers such as fencing and/or self-closing gates on property to prevent unsupervised access to the property by children. Your dealer can provide information on which permits may be required and how to obtain them prior to the delivery of your spa.
Locating Your Spa 2 Preparing a Good Foundation Your spa needs a solid and level foundation. The area that it sits on must be able to support the weight of the spa, with water and the occupants who use it. If the foundation is inadequate, it may shift or settle after the spa is in place, causing stress that could DAMAGE YOUR SPA SHELL AND FINISH. Damage caused by inadequate or improper foundation support is not covered by the warranty.
3 While you are planning where to locate your spa, you need to determine how much access you will need for service. All spa models require a minimum of three feet / one meter access to all sides of the spa for potential service. For this reason, the spa should never be placed in a manner where any side is permanently blocked. Examples include placing the spa against a building, structural posts or columns, or a fence. Spa models require access to all sides in case they need service or repair.
Locating Your Spa 4 Electrical Service Stub-up The location of the electrical service cable is a decision each spa owner needs to decide. Running the electrical cable lay on top of the slab is visually unappealing and can present a trip hazard. Most spa owners prefer to bury electrical conduit before the slab is laid and run the cable up through the slab. The location of the conduit in the concrete slab is called the stub-up.
5 The stub-up for triangular spas can be hidden behind the corner on one side. It can be seen only when you face the rear of the spa (as shown in the figure below). The stub-up should be approximately 10” back from the front of the spa and no higher than 10” above the concrete slab. It can be placed on either the left or right side of the spa. The stub-up for round spas can be hidden slightly behind the curvature of the spa on the left side (as it is viewed from the back).
Getting the Spa Into Your Yard 6 Getting the Spa Into Your Yard Check the Dimensions of Your New Spa The specification chart on page 11 lists your spa’s model and its dimension as it sits on the delivery cart. During delivery, the spa must remain on the delivery cart at all times. Compare the dimensions to the width of the gates, sidewalks, and doorways along the delivery route.
7 240 Volt Electrical Installation All 240V spas must be permanently connected (hard wired) to the power supply. See the wiring diagrams starting on page 8. These instructions describe the only acceptable electrical wiring procedure. Spas wired in any other way will void your warranty and may result in serious injury. When installed in the United States, the electrical wiring of this spa must meet the requirements of NEC 70 and any applicable local, state, and federal codes.
