INSTALLATION & SET-UP

Before attempting to install or use your spa, please read the U.L./CSA Safety Instructions, the Additional

Safety Instructions, as well as all of the installation instructions that follow.

SELECTING A SITE FOR YOUR SPA

Your Bullfrog Portable Spa was designed for either indoor or outdoor use. Please adhere to the following

guidelines:

Important: With all installations, the spa must be located at least 5 feet (1.5m) from all electrical outlets,

switches, and other permanently installed electrical devices.

1. Select a site that is stable and capable of supporting the weight of the spa (depending on the model,

the spa can weigh between 3950 to 5564 lbs), its water, and the people using it. If installed on a

suspended floor or deck make sure the structure can handle the weight. If you have concerns on this

matter, please contact a qualified licensed Contractor.

2. Select a flat surface and reasonably level. This surface must provide continuous support for the

entire bottom of the spa. Do not shim or block up the spa creating voids underneath.

3. Avoid installing the spa in a pit or low area where water may accumulate and damage the spa or its

equipment. Choose a site where water will drain away from the spa.

Indoor Considerations

There are several considerations when installing your spa indoors. First, the environment both around

and below the spa should be water resistant. It must be capable of handling water splashed out from the

spa as well as the possibility of a leak. Your Bullfrog Portable Spa is the most leak-free spa in the

industry, but there is still a chance of a leak from the spa. A catch basin equivalent to the volume of water

is recommended. Second, it is recommended that the room be properly ventilation. Proper ventilation

can usually be achieved by an exhaust fan or an open window. Note: Typical indoor surfaces include,

but are not limited to: concrete, wood, non-slip tile, or linoleum.

Outdoor Considerations

There are several considerations when installing your spa outdoors. First, avoid selecting a site where

excessive water may contact the spa, such as sprinklers or a roof edge without rain gutters. Second,

avoid areas of direct, prolonged sunlight (if possible). The ultraviolet rays will fade and damage the spa

cover and cabinet. Third, check your local codes on possible restrictions that require fencing or childproof

gates around the spa. Last, avoid positioning your spa in an area where debris will be tracked into the

spa. Note: Typical outdoor surfaces include, but are not limited to: concrete, brick, non-slip tile, wood

decking, pea gravel, or sand.
