Positioning Your Spa

Just be sure to position it above ground in an area with good drainage and on a level, continuous surface which can
support the weight of the spa when filled with water and people; this weight is approximately 4874 lbs. (86 lbs. per
square foot). You must also provide access to the spa's equipment for service and general maintenance.
