LOCATION
For your portable spa to function properly and safely,
it must be located on a hard, flat, level surface.
Inground spas require special installation techniques
and should be planned in conjunction with your spa
dealer. Improper installation can result in structural
damage to the spa and the voiding of your spa
warranty. Items to discuss with your dealer include:
Local construction codes, electrical service require-
ments, serviceability of equipment, present under-
ground obstructions such as gas, water, and tele-
phone lines, safety measures such as fences and
locks, and visibility of the spa installation from the
home, street, and neighbors.
• Allow for sufficient water drainage around the spa
to help preserve the equipment and support
structure. This includes indoor installations.
• A filled spa can weigh up to 4,000 pounds and the
location should support the weight of the filled spa.
• Locate the equipment compartment where it will
be accessible. Your spa MUST be installed to
permit access for servicing the equipment above
and/or below any decks or floors. Access is
essential and must allow adequate room for service.
• Leave access to the circuit breakers in the sub
panel (240V models) or to the interrupter switch
(GFCI, 120V models) on the end of the power cord.
• Be sure the spa is level and in the final position
BEFORE filling with water. Check for power cords,
tools, and hoses that may be caught underneath
the spa.
• IMPORTANT: DO NOT LET AN EMPTY SPA
REMAIN EXPOSED TO DIRECT SUNLIGHT.
Spa surface temperatures can reach in excess of
150°F (65°C) if left exposed to the sun. Significant
damage can occur if this is allowed to happen,
including warping and blistering of the surface.
Damage, that occurs as a result of this exposure,
is not covered under the warranty.
• CAUTION: Never try to move a spa that has not
been fully drained. To do so could result in dam-
age to the spa and physical injury to the mover.
