SITE PREPARATION
When choosing a site for the hot tub take into account that
its maintenance and repair works must be carried out behind
the sidewalls, so accessibility and hot tubce to walk around
the hot tub must be ensured.
1. INDOOR/BASEMENT INSTALLATION
If you place your hot tub indoors, be aware of some special
requirements:
Water may accumulate around the hot tub, so the flooring
material must have a proper runoff to avoid accumulation of
water. When building a new room for the hot tub, construct-
ing a floor drain is required, or damages may occur due to
overflow, overfilling, or technical failure. Our company does
not take responsibility for any damage in absence of floor
drainage.Humidity will naturally increase in the room where
the hot tub is located and the evaporated water condenses.
For this reason ensure that the area has proper ventilation.
We recommend installing a dehumidifier in the room.
2. OUTROOR AND PATIO INSTALLATION
A solid horizontal foundation is necessary for installation of
the hot tub. We advise using a reinforced concrete founda-
tion at least 10-15cm thick.
Ensure that your deck or foundation will support your hot tub.
You must know the maximal load capacity of the foundation.
Consult a qualified building contractor or structural engineer.
To find out the weight of your hot tub, its contents and
occupants please refer to the hot tub specification chart. This
weight must not exceed the structure's rated capacity per
square meter, otherwise serious structural damages could
result. If you install the hot tub outdoors, we recommend a
reinforced horizontal concrete pad at least 10-15cm thick.
Install floor drains around your hot tub to lead water away
even in heavy rain.
When constructing the water drain it is advised to form a
10-15cm deep sloping ditch around the hot tub which directs
water to the drain. Water from the drain must be directed to
the canal or a drainage with enough capacity.
Warning: Do not expose the hot tub to direct sunlight (not
even empty) without proper coverage. The insulated hot tub
cover preserves the water temperature and provides protection
from sunlight and rain. When exposed to sunshine for a longer
period it may damage the surface of the hot tub and the hot tub
equipment.
Acrylic rapidly absorbs heat from sun rays, thus reaches a very
high surface temperature which may damage the hot tub.

INITIAL INSTALLATION

In case of sealed design, if the hot tub was placed between
glass structures, prevent the sun rays from reaching the hot
tub directly through the glass as the temperature may get
too high.
3. IN-GROUND / SUNKEN HOT TUB
In case of sinking the hot tub into the ground you must
make sufficient space for walking around the hot tub. For
completion of maintenance works a minimum of 60cm wide
inspection pit must be built around the hot tub.
The inspection pit's bottom must be under the bearing pont
of the hot tub so that water can flow into the pit in case of
water leakage. A floor drain or sump pump should be used at
the bottom of the pit to ensure continual water drainage.
In case of sinking the hot tub only the portion below the hot
tub's acrylic edge can be sunk. The air of the inspection pit
steams up. To prevent unpleasant odors proper ventilation
must be provided (e.g. installing ventilators). The costs of
pulling the hot tub out of the ground are borne by the user.
If the aforementioned conditions are not present, setting up
the hot tub may fail.
First filling of the hot tub
Proper filling of the hot tub is an important task both tech-
nically and chemically. We advise installation and periodic
maintenance by the servicing professionals, which includes
inspection and refilling of hot tub water. Hot tubs do not con-
tain water softener and hard water damages the equipment.
Improper filling of the hot tub may bring air into the system,
which damages the heating wire and engines. Repairs after
such failures are not covered by warranty.
Filling process
Remove the hot tub cover. First remove the cover staves,
then remove the side covers by unscrewing the bottom
screws. During transportation the flare fittings of engines
may dislocate. Check these connections before installation. If
necessary, tighten the flare fittings.
In hot tubs equipped with air engine the flare fitting must be
connected before running the hot tub for the first time.
Before filling the hot tub check that the ratchets are not in
a closed state (lever is pulled out and fixed with the safety
lock).
Next fill the hot tub with water to the sign indicated on its
sidewall.
Filling must be done through the filter housing. Improper
filling can damage the engines and heating element.
Insert the filter or filter cartridges when proper water level
is reached. Be cautious, because when replacing the filter
cartridge air bubbles may remain in the cartridge. To avoid
this the filter cartridges must be tilted in the water to remove
air from them, and only then fitted to their place.
