SET-UP AND DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS
Getting Ready for Delivery and Set-up of Your New Cal Spa
Planning For Delivery of Your Portable Spa
1. Your 110-Volt spa will require a 20 amp dedicated receptacle.
2. Your 220-volt spa will require a 50 amp dedicated GFCI circuit breaker.
3. If you have any doubts, have your electrical system checked by a qualified, licensed electrician.
Surface and Pad Requirements for Spas and Gazebos
1. Your new portable spa and /or gazebo must be placed on a uniformly firm, flat and level concrete pad. We require
a 3" thick cement slab. Gazebos assembled on surfaces either not flat or level will result in windows and doors
closing improperly.
In some climates it may not be feasible to have a cement slab. In these regions the acceptable foundation would
NOTE:
be flat and level decking rated to support 150 pound per square foot.
2. If the location of your spa is going to be near a sprinkler system, make sure you adjust the sprinkler heads away
from the spa and/or gazebo. Water that is continually sprayed on the spa cabinet or in the equipment area may
cause wood or electrical component damage.
Requirements for Decking, Gates and Balconies
1. All decking must be able to support 150 pounds per square foot.
2. Surrounding area gates must be self-closing and self-latching (California Requirements).
3. Balconies must be constructed to current state and local codes. (Spa load requirements are 150 lbs. per square
foot)
Planning for Delivery of Your In-ground Spa
1. Selecting the right site for the installation of your in-ground spa and equipment is very important. These sites should
be city and state approved, also considering the ease of access, landscaping, and architectural styling.
