Placing The Spa - Fantasy Spas Aspire Owner's Manual

IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT
A QUALIFIED, LICENSED CONTRACTOR
PREPARE THE FOUNDATION FOR YOUR SPA.
A reinforced concrete pad at least four inches thick
is recommended for your spa. The reinforcing rod
or mesh in the pad should be attached to a bond
wire.
INDOOR INSTALLATION:
Be aware of some special requirements if you
place your spa indoors. Water will accumulate
around the spa, so flooring materials must provide
a good grip when wet. NOTE: The Ice Bucket
drain (on some spas) is designed to drain at the
bottom exterior of the spa. Therefore, any water
accumulated at the backside of the spa is probably
water draining from the Ice Bucket, and not a spa
leak. Proper drainage is essential to prevent a
build-up of water around the spa. When building
a new room for the spa, it is recommended that a
floor drain be installed. The humidity will naturally
increase with the spa installed. Water may get into
woodwork and produce dryrot, mildew, or other
problems. Check for airborne moisture's effects
on exposed wood, paper, etc. in the room. To
minimize these effects, it is best to provide plenty
of ventilation to the spa area. An architect can help
to determine if more ventilation must be installed.

PLACING THE SPA

CHECK THE DIMENSIONS OF YOUR
SPA:
Compare the spa dimensions to the width of
gates, sidewalks, and doorways along the delivery
route used to bring the spa into your yard. It
may be necessary for you to remove a gate or
partially remove a fence in order to provide an
unobstructed passageway to the installation

location. Also, keep in mind—if you are using
special equipment to place your spa into an area it
will be necessary to include those measurements
and weights.
PLANNING A DELIVERY ROUTE:
Check the width of gates, doors and sidewalks
to make sure your spa will pass through
unobstructed. You may have to remove a gate
or part of a fence to allow for adequate width
clearance. If the delivery route will require a
90-degree turn, check the measurements at the
turn to ensure the spa will fit. Check for protruding
gas meters, water meters, A/C units, etc., on
your home which will cause obstructions along
the delivery path to your yard. Check for low roof
eaves, over hanging branches or rain gutters that
could be an obstruction to overhead clearances.
SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES:
The use of a crane for delivery and installation is
primarily to avoid injury to your spa, your property
or to delivery personnel.
