INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS CUSTOM CABINET
Drainage for excess water around spa
For all types of installations, ensure any exterior water will drain away from the spa.
Standing water around a spa can be dangerous, especially if the water rises to the
equipment compartment level. Select the location of your spa with the possibility of
standing water/drainage in mind.
Access to side and back panels for plumbing
repairs or stereo equipment replacement
In the unlikely event of an internal plumbing or stereo component problem, it is
necessary to have access to the side and back panels in order to make repairs. In any
recessed application, access to internal plumbing components requires a minimum of
24 inches of clearance around the entire spa. In some rare cases, the spa may need
to be removed from the installation site entirely, depending on the type of installation
and complexity of repair required. Utilizing a trapdoor/access panel can be an easy
way to accomplish this goal. This is covered in more detail in the partially-recessed
and fully-recessed sections of this document.
Cover locks
Cover locks or some form of safety barrier are
required by law. All spas must include a locking
device (typically a cover with cover locks) to ensure
the safety of family, pets and friends. Depending on
the installation, you and your landscape contractor
will need to consider a method to lock your spa
cover.
Type of structural support
For any type of installation, the spa needs to sit on a concrete slab.
Drain locations of spa
Ensure that there is access to the drain locations pictured below. Regular maintenance
of your spa requires draining the water approximately every 4 months. The location
you choose for your spa needs to allow for this water to drain away from the spa and
any other structures, landscape or hardscape that could be negatively impacted by
water flow. Please note that during transportation, the spa’s drain caps are removed
and placed in the owner’s packet. This prevents stagnant water from remaining within
the system for long periods of time. Ensure that these drains are capped prior to
installing your spa into your deck or patio.

Custom Cabinet (CC)
A custom spa cabinet is just that. You get to decide how to make it blend in with your
home and its surroundings. The Custom Cabinet versions of the Vista
®
and Grandee
®
spas give you the option of installing a custom covering such as Hot Spring
®
SpaStone
™
,
wood siding, brick, etc. With this option, the possibilities are endless.
Attaching and creating a unique exterior to your spa that is custom-made to your
home’s décor makes it a versatile and beautiful option for your environment.
NOTE: Only the Vista-CC and Grandee-CC models are available for custom cabinet
installations.

IMPORTANT: Your custom cabinet spa can be fully-recessed, partially-recessed or
not recessed at all. Whatever installation is selected, the exposed portion of the custom
cabinet spa can then be “decorated” in whatever style and with whatever material you
desire. If you plan on partially- or fully-recessing your custom cabinet spa, please refer
to the sections on partially- and/or fully-recessed spa installations on pages 14 and
20, respectively.
