Choosing A Location - Sundance Spas Burlington Owner's Manual

within 5 feet (1.5m) of the spa, or copper clad grounding rod buried
within 5 feet (1.5m) of the spa. Bonding wire must be at least No. 8 AWG
(8.4mm²) solid copper wire. This is a most important safety assurance
feature.
Before installing your spa, check with your local building department to
insure installation conforms to local building codes.

A spa connected to a 120 VAC electrical service must be located close
enough to a grounded, grounding-type electrical outlet so that the in-
cluded 10 foot (3m) power cord can be plugged directly into it. DO NOT
USE AN EXTENSION CORD as this could cause damage to the spa's
equipment due to insufficient voltage. The power supplied to this spa
must be a dedicated circuit with no other appliances or lights sharing the
power provided by the circuit.

4.0 Choosing A Location

IMPORTANT: Because of the combined weight of the spa, water
and users, it is extremely important that the base upon which the
spa rests be smooth, flat, level and capable of uniformly supporting
this weight, without shifting or settling, for the entire time the spa
is in place. If the spa is placed on a surface which does not meet
these requirements, damage to the skirt and/or the spa shell may
result. Damage caused by improper support is not covered under
warranty. It is the responsibility of the spa owner to assure the
integrity of the support over time. We recommend a poured, rein-
forced concrete slab with a minimum thickness of 4 inches (10cm).
Wood decking is also acceptable provided it is constructed so that
it meets the requirements outlined above.
The spa must be installed in such a manner as to provide drainage away
from it. Placing the spa in a depression without provisions for proper
drainage could allow rain, overflow and other casual water to flood the
equipment and create a wet condition in which it would sit in. For spas
which will be recessed into a floor or deck, install so as to permit access
to the equipment, either from above or below, for servicing. Make certain
that there are no obstructions which would prevent removal of all side
cabinet panels and access to the jets components, especially on the
side with the equipment bay.
