LOCATION
For your portable spa to function properly and safely, it must be located on a
hard, flat, level surface. Inground spas require special installation techniques
and should be planned in conjunction with your authorized Marquis
Improper installation can result in structural damage to the spa and the void-
ing of your spa warranty. Items to discuss with your dealer include: Local
construction codes, electrical service requirements, serviceability of equip-
ment, present underground obstructions such as gas, water, and telephone
lines, safety measures such as fences and locks, and visibility of the spa
installation from the home, street, and neighbors.
Do not shim your spa. If your pad is not level you must pour a top cap: con-
tact a professional.
•
Allow for sufficient water drainage around the spa to help preserve the
equipment and support structure. This includes indoor installations.
•
A filled spa can weigh up to 5,000 pounds and the location should sup-
port the weight of the filled spa.
•
Locate the equipment compartment where it will be accessible. Your
spa MUST be installed to permit access for servicing the equipment
above and/or below any decks or floors. Access is essential and must
allow adequate room for service. To facilitate repairs, Marquis Corp. or its
agent may require access to spa equipment. It is your responsibility to
provide unencumbered access. See spa diagrams for location of power
supply.
•
Leave access to the circuit breakers in the sub panel (240V models) or
to the interrupter switch (GFCI, 120V models) on the end of the power
cord.
•
Be sure the spa is level and in the final position BEFORE filling with water.
Check for power cords, tools, and hoses that may be caught under-
neath the spa. Do not apply power to the spa before it is completely
filled with water. Damage to the pumps, heater and sensors may result.
•
IMPORTANT: DO NOT LET AN EMPTY SPA REMAIN EXPOSED
TO DIRECT SUNLIGHT.
Spa surface temperatures can reach in excess of 180°F (82°C) if left
exposed to the sun. Significant damage can occur to the acrylic if this is
allowed to happen, including warping and blistering of the surface. Dam-
age, that occurs as a result of this exposure, is not covered under the
warranty.
CAUTION: Never try to move a spa that has not been fully drained. To
•
do so could result in damage to the spa and physical injury to the mover.
Cracks in the spa surface, exterior siding or base due to improper trans-
port or support of the spa are not covered under the warranty.
