Installation Instructions

Site Preparation
Please ensure the following:
• Always put your spa on a structurally sound, level surface. A filled spa can weigh a great deal.
Make certain that the location you choose can support the weight of your filled spa.
• Locate your equipment compartment, which houses all of the electrical components, in a place
where you will have easy access for periodic spa care and maintenance.
• Allow adequate access to all other doors for service.
Outdoor Ground Level Installation
No matter where you install your new spa, it's important that you have a solid foundation for sup-
port. If you are installing a spa with a wooden pedestal floor outdoors, we recommend you place
patio stones underneath spaced out evenly. The stones should be at least two inches thick and
twelve inches square (30cm x 30cm). Even with stones in place, the spa will possibly settle and
become unlevel, and may require re-leveling over time. If you are installing a spa with a Forever
Floor ® outdoors, you may set it on virtually any surface, as long as it is level.
Deck Installation
To be certain your deck can support your spa, you must know the deck's maximum load capacity.
Consult a qualified building contractor or structural engineer. To find the weight of your spa, its
contents and occupants, refer to the Spa Specification chart. This weight per square foot must not
exceed the structure's rated capacity, or serious structural damage could result.
Your Arctic Spas Dealer can help you with local information such as zoning regulations and build-

ing codes.
