TION/GENER.AL GUIDELINES
Portable
spa
installation is
simple when
properly plaimed. To that
end
it is important that
you
read the
following infonnation
carefully and
consult
with your MasterSpas
dealer.
1)
Access -
The actual dimensions of
your
new
spa will
detem1ine the amount of
space
that is needed in
moving
the spa
from curbside to its final installation
area.
Be
sure
to measure
side yard
dimensions,
gates
or doors and
ve1iical
obstructions
such as
roof overhangs
and
overhead
cables. Any
other
space
limiting obstacles
such as
trees or
shrubs
must be
evaluated.
If the
spa
is being installed
indoors,
dimension limitations
such as stairs, ceilings and walls
must be
taken into
consideration.
Please have
your MasterSpas
dealer or delivery
service
review
site
or
installation plans prior
to
delivery.
2) Surface/Pad
Requirements
-
When
your
new
spa
is filled
with water and
bathers,
it may
weigh as
much
as several
tons.
It
is imperative that the base beneath the
spa can support
the
actual weight.
The
spa
must be on
a
uniformly finn
and continuous
surface.
The reconm1ended foundation is
a
concrete
pad
with
a minimum thickness of four (
4) inches with steel
reinforcement bars
crossed
throughout the pad.
IMPORTANT
When installing
your spa
indoors or on
a wood
deck or balcony, the
same
load
requirements
must be
met.
Total
load may be as much
as
75 pounds per
square
foot. Your MasterSpas dealer
should
be
consulted
or
you should speak with a
qualified
contractor
or
your
local building department. Be
sure
to
locate
your spa so
that
equipment
remains
above grade and
is not
subject
to flooding.
The
equipment side
of the
spa
must be accessible in the
event
that future
service
is needed. 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
spa
in the
event your spas
plumbing requires maintenance. Your
spa wa1Tanty
does not
cover
the
cost
of providing
access
for
service.
