Pre-Delivery Instructions
Please take the time to read this booklet carefully, as it will provide you with the information you will need to ensure

registration within 10 days of delivery. These items, along with other valuable information, will be found in the
Owner's Package which has been placed in the equipment compartment of your cold plunge, where you will also

In most cities and counties, permits will be required for the installation of electrical circuits or the construction of
exterior surfaces (decks and gazebos). In addition, some communities have adopted residential barrier codes which
may require fencing and/or self-closing gates on the property to prevent unsupervised access to a pool (or cold
plunge) by children under 5 years of age. Your Caldera cold plunge is equipped with a locking cover that meets the
ASTM F1346 Standard for Safety Covers and as a result, is usually exempt from most barrier requirements. As a
general practice, your local Building Department will inform you of any applicable barrier requirements at the time
a permit is obtained for the installation of an electrical circuit. Your Caldera dealer can provide information on which
permits may be required.
