Plumbing Connections
IMPORTANT! Always check local codes prior to any in-
ground spa installation.
Once the spa and equipment are properly located, you
will want to lay out the plumbing run.
Trenches should be deep and wide enough to allow all
pipes to be buried below the frost line and should be in as
straight a line from the spa to the equipment as possible.
Check local code requirements for underground pipes.
Always know what is under the ground before you dig
anywhere.
You will need 2" flex or PVC lines for your suction,
intake, and air line. In ground spas have marked intake
and suction lines, making it easy find and connect to and
from the spa and equipment pack.

The plumbing run should not be any longer than 15 feet
to maximize water pressure. Another way to maximize
water pressure is to limit (or even eliminate) the use of
90˚ elbows in your plumbing run. A more direct plumbing
run using 45˚ elbows is more efficient, and promotes
increased water pressure.
Identifying Plumbing Lines
The spa's plumbing lines are clearly marked during
water testing at the factory. This is done to assist
installers in properly identifying the installation. We still
recommend that the installers verify plumbing lines prior
to gluing. This can be done by using one of the following
techniques.
