Page 27 Installa on Guidelines and Site Prepara on 25 Hot tub installa on can be quick and simple if these general guidelines are considered in planning the site. Please read the following informa on carefully. Proper planning will make the delivery and install more economical and eﬃcient while proper site selec on will increase your year‐round enjoyment. Access from delivery point to ﬁnal site: Consider the route from where the unit is delivered to the installa on site. The steepness of grade, trees, shrubs, gates, roof overhangs, cables and overhead wires need considera on. Outside dimensions of your model choice can be used to determine clearance required for the move. Review outdoor and indoor installa on sugges ons prior to choosing your hot tub spa loca on. Surface Requirements: Your spa should be placed on a level concrete pad designed to support 6,000 lbs.( 2,722 kg.). Do not place the hot tub on a dirt surface or directly on the ground. Once you have a loca on selected, there are several issues you should consider in preparing the site for the hot tub spa installa on. A ﬂat, level surface strong enough to support your unit is mandatory. Once your hot tub spa is ﬁlled, it has considerable weight. Make certain the loca on you choose can support a minimum of 100 lbs (46 kg) per square foot load, per recom‐ mended guidelines. Most units are installed outside, on ground level, on either a concrete pad or a wooden deck. If the spa is not on ground level, have a builder determine if the support is adequate. If the unit is placed directly on the ground, you will want to remove the grassy level, and place a layer of gravel on the soil. The best way to level the gravel may be with the straight edge of a piece of solid lumber to achieve a level surface. Pavers placed in a sand base is also a rather quick and convenient way to prepare the loca on site. Note that pavers, stepping stones, etc. s ll have a tendency to se le and may become uneven at some point To check the level of any surface, including a concrete pad, spray a hose on the surface and ...
Page 28 Installa on Guidelines and Site Prepara on 26 Important: All hot tub sides must be accessible for regular maintenance or in the event that service is required. General maintenance will require entry to equipment behind cabinet panels. It is recommended to allow 3 feet of access to all sides of the hot tub for rou ne and service maintenance. Your warranty does not include any cost associated with gaining access to equipment for servicing. Indoor Installa on Considera ons 1. Local electrical and plumbing codes. 2. Ven la on fans and/or dehumidiﬁers should be provided to handle the high humidity developed by your hot tub. Walls, ceiling and wood trim resistance to moisture and water should be of considera on. 3. Chemicals will vaporize from the water and may cause an odor and possibly corrosion to certain home hardware. Never store chemicals inside the hot tub cabinet or where they may come into contact with water. 4. During the normal use of the hot tub, water will escape from the vessel. Never place the hot tub on or over any material which may be damaged by this water or the chemicals within the water. Keep damageable materials far enough away from the hot tub to avoid water damage, even if the spa should lose all its water. 5. Consider and prepare for the unlikely event of rapid hot tub drainage. If placement of the hot tub is permanent, you may wish to provide ﬂoor drains to accommodate draining, etc. Always leave space around the hot tub for easy access ...

Locate the hot tub with an awareness to sunlight exposure, views, access, property lines, ligh ng, wind direc on, shielding, sep c tanks, plants, trees.
