POWERPOOL™ INSTALLATION
Danger: Electrical shock risk. Install at
least 1.5m from all metal surfaces.
The electrical supply for this product must

breaker to open all ungrounded supply
conductors. The disconnecting means must
be readily accessible but installed at least
1,5 meters from the PowerPool™ water. All

with the wiring rules. Parts containing live
parts, except parts supplied with safety
extra-low voltage not exceeding 12 V, must be
inaccessible to a person in the bath. Earthed
appliances must be permanently connected
to fixed wiring.

Site and Positioning

MAAX® Spas recommends that a PowerPool™
be placed in its final installation site by crane.
In any installation where a crane cannot
be used, you may want to consult with a
professional rigging company.
When utilizing a crane for delivery, be sure
that crane operator understands the weight of
the PowerPool™, the height it must be lifted,
and the distance that the crane boom must

The appliance should be
supplied through a residual
current device (RCD) with a
rated tripping current not
exceeding 30 mA. Means
for disconnection must
be incorporated in the

travel. Be sure that the crane operator uses
an 8' spreader bar and that the straps wrap
all the way around the bottom frame of the
PowerPool™.
Locate the PowerPool™ on a solid, level
foundation keeping in mind the weight of
the filled PowerPool™ (in excess of 24,250lb.
(11,000 kg.) on some models). If you have
any doubts about the load bearing ability
of your chosen site, contact an architect or a
building contractor. The entire perimeter of
the PowerPool™ Frame and bottom must be
evenly supported.
We recommend that you provide a concrete
foundation pad for the PowerPool™. The
foundation pad should be wider and longer
than the PowerPool™ by at least 12 inches
(30 cm) in each direction. Failure to provide a
level surface could structurally damage your
PowerPool™ and void the warranty.
The PowerPool™ must be installed to allow
access for service and maintenance on all
four sides; therefore, if you choose to install
your PowerPool™ below grade level, you will
be required to have a vault or pit constructed
to prevent ground water, rain, snowmelt, or
sources of water from collecting around the
equipment of the PowerPool™. The vault
must have either sufficient drainage through a
drain line or through the use of a sump pump.
The vault must have adequate safe access
as to allow for routine maintenance of the
PowerPool™ components.
WARNING: ACCESS TO THE POWERPOOL™
SHOULD BE CONTROLLED IN ACCORDANCE
