ACCESS TO EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION CHECKLIST
To assist you in planning and installing your Hot Spring
®
spa, the following checklist can be used as a guide to help
simplify the overall process. Contact your local Hot Spring dealer as you develop your plans. It may be of value
to contact a Landscape Architect/Designer/Contractor to help you create your perfect outdoor solution.
• Review this document to determine which application best suits your needs
• Identify where you would like your spa to be located
• Identify the direction you would like the spa to face
• Identify how to maintain optimum access to all the necessary panels
• Identify from where the electrical will be drawn (contact an Electrical Contractor for installation and to ensure that the electrical installation meets the electrical codes for your area)
• Identify possible locations for the subpanel (if required)
• Ensure that there will be access to the spa drains and that the water will drain away from the spa or secure a submersible pump for quick draining
• Plan for correct drainage around your spa
• Select a Hot Spring
®
spa model - see your local dealer to select the best model for your application
• Determine what type of cover lifter you would like to use
• Read the Pre-Delivery Instructions
• Fill spa and enjoy!
The spa’s equipment compartment is on the front face of the unit (see diagram below).
To access the equipment compartment or the internal plumbing or stereo components,
removable or hinged access panels are needed for all sides of the spa. The access panel
in the deck or patio at the front face of the spa will provide access to the equipment
compartment. This access panel should run the width of the spa and provide enough
space for a person to drop through the opening and safely work with the electrical
equipment. Some states’ electrical codes require a 36 inch area in order to safely
work on electrical equipment (36-inches being the dimension between the spa and
the decking when the access panel is removed or open). Access panels at the sides
and back of the spa should run the width of the spa and provide enough space for a
person to drop through the opening. The standard requirement is a 24-inch work area
(24 inches being the dimension between the spa and the decking when the access
panel is removed or open).
NOTE:
Please check your state’s electrical codes.
