Site Preparation / General Guidelines - Master Spas Trainer 12 Owner's Manual

SITE PREPARATION / GENERAL GUIDELINES

Swim spa installation is simple when properly planned. It is important that you read the following
information carefully and consult with your Master Spas dealer.
1. Access - The actual dimensions of your new swim spa will determine the amount of space that is
needed in moving the swim spa from curbside to its final installation area. Be sure to measure side
yard dimensions, gates or doors and vertical obstructions such as roof overhangs and overhead
cables. Any other space limiting obstacles such as trees or shrubs must be evaluated.
2. Surface/Pad Requirements - When your new swim spa is filled with water and bathers, it may weigh
as much as several tons. It is imperative that the base beneath the swim spa can support the entire
weight. The swim spa must be on a uniformly firm, continuous, and level surface. The recommended
foundation is a concrete pad with a minimum thickness of four (4) inches with steel reinforcement
bars crossed throughout the pad.
IMPORTANT
Be sure to locate your swim spa so that the equipment remains above grade and is not subject
to flooding.
The equipment side(s) of the swim spa must be accessible in the event that future service is needed. In
the event that service is required, your dealer will need at least 2 feet of clearance around the perimeter
of the swim spa. Periodical maintenance checks require entry into the equipment bay. When possible, it
is wise planning for the future to leave access, to all sides of the swim spa in the event your swim spas
plumbing requires maintenance. Your swim spa warranty does not cover the cost of providing access
for service.
