Installation and Setup
WARNING: To prevent serious damage to your spa, it is
important that the spa foundation be supported by a at,
stable, and consistent subsurface. Bullfrog International highly
recommends consulting a qualied, licensed Contractor prior
to the installation of any spa foundation. For assistance,
contact your authorized Bullfrog Spa dealer.
WARNING: Because your spa pad must provide continuous
support for the entire base of the spa, you should never level it
with shims. If it is necessary to level your spa, make sure the
entire spa’s structure is fully supported, both in the center as
well as the outer edge. When leveling your spa, there should
be no voids beneath it. Contact your authorized Bullfrog Spa
dealer before making any leveling adjustments. Structural
damage to the spa resulting from incorrect installation,
placement on an inadequate foundation, or improper
leveling will void the spa’s warranty.
Elevated Installations: Be certain your deck or elevated
structure can support the maximum lled weight of your spa
along with the total weight of occupants that use it. You must
know the deck’s weight-bearing load capacity and ensure
that it is greater than the maximum lled weight of your spa
combined with the occupants using it or serious injury or
structural damage could result. To nd the weight bearing
load requirement along with the maximum lled weight of
your spa, refer to the Spa Technical Specications Chart or
contact an authorized Bullfrog Spa dealer.
CAUTION: Consult a qualied Structural Engineer or Contractor
before the spa is placed on an elevated structure or deck.
Design Considerations
Hard-Surface Options (Decking and Flooring): In addition to
selecting a hard surface that meets the recommended safety
and maintenance criteria, consider textures and colors that
will assist in enhancing the aesthetics of the area in which your
spa will be installed. The decision to match, contrast, or blend
the hard surface colors and textures with those of your spa
should only be made after carefully researching your options.
The cost of a Landscape Architect may be money well spent.
Surrounding Landscape: The correct landscape around your
spa will not only soften the adjacent hard surface areas, but
will add life and much enjoyment to the environment. If the
budget allows, you may want to consult with a Landscape
Architect for expert advice.
Spa-Side Accessories: Besides selecting the correct hard surfaces
and landscape around your spa, the addition of the proper
spa-side accessories will provide just the nishing touch that
you are looking for. Spa steps, benches, towel racks, planter
boxes, or an outdoor replace are just a few of the items that
can be considered when accessorizing your spa.
