If you choose to place your spa on a deck,
to determine the deck's maximum load bearing capacity. The weight per square
foot must not exceed that limit or the result will be serious structural damage
to the deck and the spa. If you are considering a recessed spa in your deck or
floor, be sure there is access to the electrical equipment and other components
when servicing your spa. Make sure there is adequate room to remove all of
the exterior panels, with special attention paid to the side where the electrical
components are located.
It is important to remember
require service. If the spa is recessed or in a confined area, the manufacturer is
not responsible for the costs associated with making the spa accessible for service
If you are placing your spa indoors or in a basement,
that will hold up well to the water that will inevitably sit around the spa. Floor
coverings should be slip resistant with some ability to grip when the floor is wet.
There must be adequate drainage away from the spa. The location and floor
covering must be able to handle draining of the entire spa. Humidity should
be considered, as should moisture to the wood, paper, drywall, and any mold
and mildew which accompanies humid areas of the home. Some spa chemicals
may have an adverse reaction to some household metals. You should consider
installing a ventilation system to address these issues. Again, adequate support
for the weight of the spa is vital.

Installation of Locking Cover Clips
Put the spa cover on the spa.
Position the tie down locks on
the spa cabinet so they can easily
reach the tie down straps. Allow
approximately 3/4 inch slack in the
straps so there is ample room for the
clip to slide easily into the lock when
there are variations in the weather.
Attach the locks with screws.
