SELECTING A LOCATION

In preparation for installing your new TidalFit, you should ensure that your
chosen location meets some minimum guidelines:
1) Place your TidalFit on a surface that is large enough for the entire Tidal-
Fit to fit. Consider the space needed to easily access equipment compart-
ments and circuit breakers. Remember, all electronics must be kept dry.
2) The TidalFit must be on a solid, level foundation. Recommended: 6
inches of reinforced cement slab with wire mesh on compacted ground
that has cured for at least 72 hours. Your warranty will be voided if the
TidalFit is not properly installed. Structural damage due to an improper
foundation is not covered under warranty.
3) To avoid potential water damage to the skirt and frame, your TidalFit
should be placed on a site where it will not be in the way of water sprin-
klers.
4) OUTDOOR POOL: Consider building codes, electrical and plumbing
codes, desired proximity to house, wind and sun exposure, location of
trees (falling leaves, shade), dressing area, landscaping and lighting when
selecting a location.
5) INDOOR POOL: Floor surface must have traction to prevent slipping
when wet. A floor drain is optimum. As room humidity will increase be-
cause of the spa, provide ample ventilation to prevent dry rot, mildew and
mold. Use materials that will withstand humidity. There may be a need for
cross-ventilation fans and/or dehumidifiers. The spa chemicals may cor-
rode some household metals. Provide ample room if servicing should be
needed. Strong foundational support is vital, particularly if a second-story
site is selected.
6) Ensure the equipment compartment is in a location where it will not
be damaged by water drainage. Cover the equipment compartment with
a heavy screen if rodents are a problem. Damage due to rodents is not
covered under warranty.
7) Have the pool deck installed by a knowledgeable contractor to ensure
proper support.
