OUTDOOR AND PATIO INSTALLATION
Positioning your spa correctly in your chosen location is very important because of the spa’s warranty. The warranty on your spa is voided if the site is not 100% supportive. If you install your spa outdoors, a concrete pad is the best method for a stable and level surface. The concrete pad should be at least four inches thick and properly leveled. Your spa may be installed on a deck, provided the load rating can handle a filled spa with people in it.
DECK INSTALLATION
When placing the spa on a deck, please ensure the maximum load capacity of the deck. Consult a qualified deck builder or structural engineer before you place the spa on an elevated deck or indoors. To determine the weight of your spa, please refer to the specifications on the website. This weight must not exceed the structural load capacity of the deck.
INDOOR INSTALLATION
When installing a spa indoors, there are extra things to consider. Moisture will accumulate on the floor surrounding the spa, so the flooring material needs to provide grip when wet for safety. The location will also require proper drainage to prevent water build-up. When building a room for your spa, it is best to have a floor drain installed. The humidity of a room with a spa can cause dry-rot, mildew and mold problems if it is not properly ventilated.
GROUND PREPARATION
Your spa has been designed to be installed on a variety of surfaces. The insulated spa floor base gives you the ability to find the perfect location. Though a concrete slab is the best for long term, there are other options available as long as the surface is level prior to delivery. The alternatives include 5/8 Minus Crushed Packed Rock, or a deck that is rated for the load.
When placing a spa on crushed rock, the easiest way to maintain its form is to build a frame and fill it with the crushed rock. Remember, if the spa is placed on grass or dirt, debris will get inside the spa as users enter and exit.
It is incredibly important for proper operation and draining of the spa that the spa is level once it is installed. Failure to have the spa level prior to adding water can affect the warranty.
Remember; the warranty on your spa is voided if the site is not 100% supportive.Electrical hook-up requirements – 240V
