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 informa on will assist you in choosing the right loca on 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.
Please consider the following: Your HYDROPOOL hot tub is self-suppor ng on its base. The cabinet should be decora ve only, not for support. Never suspend the hot tub from the deck or cabinet. Where the hot tub is not equipped with a factory installed cabinet, it is the installer’s responsibility to ensure all electrical equipment is completely weather protected and meets all of the regulatory requirements.
• Ensure that all hot tub support equipment is easily accessible and protected from the elements • The hot tub support equipment is designed for indoor (out of the 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.
For units being installed fully or par ally 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 condi ons. Hydropool does not recommend back-filling full in-ground or par al in-ground installa ons.
UNLOADING / HANDLING YOUR HOT TUB All Hydropool hot tubs are shipped with a protec ve combina on layer of foam wrap, cardboard and plas c film. Each hot tub is factory strapped onto a wood skid. If your hot tub is to be delivered by your local dealer, it will generally arrive on a flat bed truck or low profile trailer.
