  • Page 6: Choosing The Right Location

    CHOOSING THE RIGHT LOCATION Your Hydropool hot tub can be installed indoors or out, on the ground, in the ground or half-and-half. The following information will assist you in choosing the right location for your individual needs. When making your decision, always remember that hot tubs can be enjoyed year-round, indoors or out, regardless of the climate.
  • Page 7: General Installation Considerations

    2. Ensure that your HYDROPOOL hot tub is properly supported by either a level concrete pad, or a properly constructed deck capable of supporting 1220 kg/m2 (250 lbs/ft2). If there is a possibility that the pad could shift by freezing / thawing ground movement (such as in clay regions, and/or areas with high water tables) concrete footings extending below the frost line are recommended.

    The hot tub support equipment is designed for indoor (out of direct elements) use. When your  HYDROPOOL hot tub is equipped with a factory-installed cabinet, and installed as per the guidelines of this manual, the equipment will be adequately protected. If the hot tub is shipped without a cabinet, your custom cabinet or other structure must be designed to supply protection for the hot tub support equipment from rain, snow, splash water, etc., bit still be designed in a manner to ensure adequate...

    For units being installed fully or partially in the ground, the type of support will again vary based on whether or not the tub is being installed in an area with freeze/thaw conditions. Hydropool does not recommend back- filling full in-ground or partial in-ground installations.
  • Page 10: Equipment Accessibility & Protection

    Most Hydropool models require a clearance width of at least 100 cm (39 inches) to allow movement of the unit on its side through alley-ways, fence openings, etc. Where this is not possible, the use of a crane to lift the hot tub from the truck or trailer over the house to the patio or yard is often a simple and economical option.

    OPTIONAL HYDROCLEAR PUREWATER SYSTEM HOW IT WORKS This system combines the benefits of both Ozone and UV-C sanitization utilizing a patented UV Chamber to both inject ozone into the water, mix it and then expose it to powerful UV-C rays, all-in-one. This process not only kills and deactivates microorganisms in the water it passes, but also creates a powerful hydroxyl radical to burn off contaminants and dissolved solids within the water to significantly increase the clarity of the spa water.
