Outdoor Installation
If you install the spa outdoors, we recommend that you
provide a concrete pad for it to rest on. To do this, construct
forms for a 7' x 6' x 4" thick level pad. Install a #10 gauge
wire mesh 6" x 6" steel reinforced grid. Attach a #8 solid
copper wire to the grid with a water pipe ground clamp. This
wire should be long enough to reach the bond bar on the
spa System Control Module ( a minimum of 36"), but should
not be located under the base of the spa. Then pour the
concrete pad.
Drainage
Whether you install your spa indoors or outdoors, you
can drain it by attaching a garden hose to the drain valve
located on the suction tee of the spa. Simply run the hose
to the house sewer line or drain field and open the hose
bibb.
Make sure the area surrounding the spa has good
drainage to keep water from collecting at the base of the

spa—especially near the equipment area. If drainage is
poor, install a drain line and/or gravel drain field. (See
illustration below.)
Indoor Installation
Water which splashes on the floor during use of the spa
may cause a walking hazard and/or structural damage
unless good drainage is provided and proper waterproof
building materials are used in the area surrounding and
beneath the spa. Also take into consideration the high room
humidity caused by high spa water temperatures. Provid-
ing natural or forced ventilation of the room will help
maintain comfort and minimize moisture damage to the
building. Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath is not responsible for
damages resulting from excess moisture or water spillage.
Consult an architect or engineer for aid in designing your
indoor installation.
