  • Page 4: Planning The Best Location

    Planning the Best Location Safety first Do not place your spa within 10 feet (3 m) of overhead power lines. Make sure the spa is positioned so that access to the equipment compartment and all side panels will not be blocked. Be certain that your installation will meet all city and local safety codes and requirements.
  • Page 5 Allow for service access Many people choose to install a decorative structure around their spa. If you are installing your spa with any type of structure on the outside, such as a gazebo, remember to allow access for service. It is always best to design special installations so that the spa can still be accessed.

    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.
  • Page 22 NOTE: Once complete, water test the plumbing run for at least three days prior to covering any plumbing trenches and back-filling spa cavity completely. NOTE: Some local inspectors require pressure testing the plumbing lines. Although the spa is pressure tested at the factory, local inspectors may insist on pressure testing the plumbing run between the spa and equipment pack.
