WARNING
THE USE OF ALCOHOL, DRUGS OR MEDICATION CAN SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE THE RISK OF HYPOTHERMIA.
Choosing the Right Location
In this part, we describe outdoor spa installations. The following information will assist you in choosing the right location for your individual
needs. When making your decision, always remember that spas can be enjoyed year-round, indoors or out, regardless of the climate. Many spa
owners report that their favorite seasons are the cooler autumn and winter months, whilst others praise the enjoyment of using their spa in the
warmer spring and summer months.
OUTDOOR LOCATIONS
For a variety of reasons, outdoor locations are a far more popular choice. Some of the reasons include:
Limited indoor space
Delivery complications due to door openings, stairwells, etc.
Limited budget (indoor installations usually also involve interior home renovations)
Desire for an outdoor entertainment centre
The spa is being installed adjacent to an existing or planned swimming pool
Concerns over splashing water inside the home
For those who choose an outdoor location, spa operating temperatures can be adjusted to match the season. In colder months, many owners will
operate their spa in the range of 38-40°C (101 -104°F). During warmer months, an operating temperature of 36-37°C (97-99°F) will provide a
refreshing retreat. If you should choose an outdoor location, you will find further information as outlined in the section below.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Contact your local building department to determine if a building permit is necessary and for information on applicable bylaws (distance from
property lines, buildings, fencing requirements, etc.).
If you are doing any excavating, contact your local gas, hydro, and cable-company to ensure that there are no underground lines
Locate the spa, where practical, within close distance of a door to the house. This will maximize potential winter use.
Ensure that your pump(s), controls, drain-valve and thermal probe are easily accessible and protected.
If possible, locate the spa where you will enjoy some privacy. If this is not possible, a partial privacy or wind partition, or proper placement of
the optional cover lifter should provide adequate privacy. Spa equipment is generally designed for indoor (out of the direct elements) use. When
your Spa is equipped with a factory-installed cabinet, and installed as per the guidelines of this manual, the equipment is adequately protected. If
the spa is shipped without a cabinet, your custom cabinet or other structure must be designed to supply protection for the spa equipment from
rain, snow, splash water, etc., but still designed in a manner to ensure adequate ventilation.
