Site Selection; Things To Consider - Laguna Bay Spas Spa Owner's Manual

Proper placement of your spa is key not only to enjoying it, but also taking
care of it. Wherever you choose to place you spa, there are some basics that
must be followed.
Make sure the location is free of obstacles that may interfere with delivery.
A clear pathway makes placement a breeze. The pathway should be minimum
of 4' wide, free of obstruction from things like tree limbs, heat pumps, and
power lines. Check to be sure gate openings are wide enough for the spa to
pass through without damaging the spa.
Consider the weight of the spa.
support not only its dry weight, but also its weight when filled with water and
people.
Consider the proximity to the doors
Be sure there is a pathway to the spa that can be easily maintained in
inclement weather.
Keep your spa away from
guttering. Keeping drainage of water away from the spas foundation is
important.
Consider the negative effects of
trees to minimize the effects of falling debris and shade.
To allow for adequate drainage away from the spa,
Concrete should slope 1/2" over 10' from the center.
The manufacturer recommends
reinforced concrete pad that is at least four inches thick and large enough to
accommodate the entire spa. The concrete should cure for a minimum of 72
hours before placing the spa on the pad. You should place your spa so the
electronics and other components are easily accessible when servicing your
spa. Structural damage that occurs to your spa that results from an inadequate
foundation is not covered under your warranty so it's important that you
follow the manufacturer's guidelines.
