O U T D O O R & P A T I O I N S T A L L A T I O N INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
OUTDOOR AND PATIO INSTALLATION
To install the spa outdoors, we recommend a reinforced concrete pad at
least four inches thick. The reinforcing material should be attached to a #8
AWG bonding wire per national and local electrical code.
If you place the spa on the ground, even temporarily, place the spa empty
of water on concrete pavers under the entire bottom of the spa. The
concrete pavers should be a least two inches thick and level across the
entire surface. The spa will inevitably settle and not remain level on this
surface, thus it's important to get the spa onto a solid foundation as soon
as possible.
DECK INSTALLATION
Be sure the deck can support the weight of your filled spa by checking the
deck's maximum load capacity. Consult a qualified building contractor or
structural engineer. Minimum requirement is 100 pounds per square foot.
INDOOR INSTALLATION
There are special requirements if you place your spa indoors. Flooring
material must provide adequate traction when wet. Proper drainage is
essential to prevent water puddling. Proper ventilation to the area is re-
quired. The addition of a ventilation system is recommended. Please see
your contractor for details.
