Page 9: Choosing A Location

4.2 Indoor Location For indoor installations, be certain to make provisions for proper ventilation. When the spa is in use, considerable amounts of mois- ture will escape. This can damage various surfaces over time. A dehumidifier can help control the moisture in the room. If you have any questions regarding the placement or installation of your spa, consult your authorized Portofino dealer. - Page 11 ** In the 30 A configuration, the heater will operate at the same time as the main jets pump.
