Use and Care Guide
2. Selecting the best location for your spa.
Indoors or outdoors, its up to you. But there are some
things you will need to consider when determining your
spa’s placement.
Outdoor Spa Placement
Outdoor spa placement, such as decks or concrete is
common. However, the spa can be placed on
any solid, uniform, level surface. Do not place your spa on
grass or bare ground. If placing your spa on a wooden
deck, be sure to consider your spa’s weight (filled with
water) and the weight bearing capacity of your deck.
Note: Damage caused by inadequate or improper
foundation support is not covered by the
manufacturer’s warranty. A spa should rest
completely flush with its foundation, therefore, do
not endeavor to hand level your spa. The spa
should not be shimmed in any way in an effort to
level it. This may crack your spa shell or cause
other internal damage. It is the responsibility of the
spa owner to provide a proper foundation for the
spa. Any attempt to manually level your spa, will
void the warranty.
A normal, code-compliant (2” x 10” joist) at 16” on
center deck is adequate.
The floor load of a filled spa with water is around 125
lbs. per square foot. Your base should have at least 150
lbs. per square foot load capacity.
