Outdoor Location; Indoor Location - Sundance Spas Burlington Owner's Manual

4.1 Outdoor Location

In selecting the ideal outdoor location for your spa, we suggest that you
take into consideration the following:
• The proximity to changing area and shelter (especially in regions
subject to cold 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.

4.2 Indoor Location

For indoor installations many factors need to be considered before
installing a spa indoors:
• PROPER FOUNDATION: Consult a Structural Engineer when con-
sidering 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 balco-
nies, roofs or other platforms not specifically tied into the main struc-
tural support, you should consult a professional Structural Engineer
with experience in this type of application.
• PROPER DRAINAGE. It is extremely important to have in place
measures to sufficiently handle excessive water spillage. Be sure
the flooring in which the spa rests on has adequate drainage and
can handle draining of the entire contents of the spa. Be sure to
make provisions for ceilings or any other structures that may be
below the spas installation. Areas around your spa can become wet
or moist so all flooring and subsequent furniture, walls and adjacent
structures should be able to withstand or resist water and moisture.
• PROPER VENTILATION. Proper ventilation should be discussed
with an Engineer or authority competent enough to understand the
necessary provisions needed to vent moist or heated air and air
associated with chemical odors outdoors. When the spa is in use
considerable amounts of moisture will escape potentially causing
