Choosing A Location - Sundance Spas Camden Owner's Manual

within 5 feet (1.5m) of the spa, or copper clad grounding rod buried
within 5 feet (1.5m) of the spa. Bonding wire must be at least No. 8 AWG

feature.
Before installing your spa, check with your local building department to
ensure installation conforms to local building codes.
120/240 Volt Metro Convertible Model
A spa connected to a 120VAC electrical service must be located close
enough to a grounded, grounding-type electrical outlet so that the
included power cord can be plugged directly into it. DO NOT USE AN
EXTENSION CORD as this could cause damage to the spa's equipment
due to insufficient voltage. The power supplied to this spa must
be a dedicated circuit with no other appliances or lights sharing the
power provided by the circuit.

Choosing A Location

IMPORTANT: Because of the combined weight of the spa, water and
users, it is extremely important that the base upon which the spa rests
be smooth, flat, level and capable of uniformly supporting this weight,
without shifting or settling, for the entire time the spa is in place. If the
spa is placed on a surface which does not meet these requirements,
damage to the skirt and/or the spa shell may result. Damage caused
by improper support is not covered under warranty. It is the responsibil-
ity of the spa owner to assure the integrity of the support over time. We
recommend a poured, reinforced concrete slab with a minimum thick-
ness of 4 inches (10cm). Wood decking is also acceptable provided it is
constructed so that it meets the requirements outlined above.
The spa must be installed in such a manner as to provide drainage away
from it. Placing the spa in a depression without provisions for proper
drainage could allow rain, overflow and other casual water to flood the
ion in which it would sit in. For
equipment and create a wet condit
spa
s which will be recessed into a floor or deck, install so as to permit
access to the equipment, either from above or below, for servicing. Make
certain that there are no obstructions which would prevent removal of all
side cabinet panels and access to the jets components, especially on
the side with the equipment bay doors.
