Instructions and Advice for Sinking Spas

ensure retaining walls are sufficient to allow clean access and no backfilling should occur as this
could invalidate warranties.

position your soak away so it can be accessed to ensure it cannot become blocked with debris.
Please make sure the soak away is sufficient to ensure your pit cannot become full of water
because your warranty will not cover flooded electrical components.
Please ensure the electrical requirements meet those shown in the Installation Instructions you
were given at the time of purchase. All electrical fittings must be accessible at the control panel
end of the pit and are fitted to current legislation.

four sides, may require access, must
have removable panels to allow access
to the sides of the spa.
