Outdoor Location

In selecting the ideal outdoor location for your spa, we suggest that you
take into consideration:
• The proximity to changing area and shelter (especially in colder
weather).
• The pathway to and from your spa (this should be free of debris so
that dirt and leaves are not easily tracked into the spa).
• The closeness to trees and shrubbery (remember that leaves and
birds could create extra work in keeping the spa clean).
• A sheltered environment (less wind and weather exposure can result
in lowered operation and maintenance costs).
• The overall enhancement of your environment. It is preferable not to
place the spa under an unguttered roof overhang since run-off water
will shorten the life expectancy of the spa cover.
• For spas that are to rest on balconies, roofs or other platforms not
specifically tied into main structural support, consult a professional
Structural Engineer with experience in this type of application.
• In the unlikely event that you should ever need to access or gain
entry to any portion of the spa for servicing, it is highly recommended
that you plan your outdoor installation to provide full access to the
entire spa. Please take this into consideration when placing the spa
in a deck or enclosed by a surrounding.
• Consider locating your spa away from any reflective surface or glass
to prevent any damage to the synthetic skirt.

Indoor Location

For indoor installations many factors need to be considered before
installing a spa indoors:
WARNING:
!
chemistry, proper ventilation is recommended to reduce the
risk of contracting a waterborne illness (e.g. an infection, bac-
teria or virus) and/or respiratory ailments that could be pres-
ent in the air or water. Consult a licensed architect or building
contractor to determine your specific needs if installing your
hot tub indoors.
• Proper Foundation: Consult a Structural Engineer when
considering a foundation that will adequately support the spa
the entire time it is in place. Proper support is critical especially
if the spa is to rest on a second story or higher. For spas that are
to rest on balconies, roofs or other platforms not specifically tied
into the main structural support, you should consult a professional
Structural Engineer with experience in this type of application.
