Choosing a Location for the Hydrotherapy Spa

There are many factors to consider when choosing a location to set up the hydrotherapy spa. These factors vary depending on whether you plan to use the spa inside or outside. We have listed several factors you may wish to consider as you decide where to set up the spa.

If you set up the hydrotherapy spa inside:

1.The spa will increase the level of humidity in your home. The location you choose should be well ventilated. You may need to install a ventilation fan or use a dehumidifier.

2.The spa should be located near a 240-volt power source. It must be wired directly into a grounded circuit with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) capable of carrying 30 amps. No other appliance should be on the same circuit.

3.The spa should be close to a source of water.

4.Do not use the spa on carpet or other material that may be damaged by moisture. We recommend that you place the spa on a water- and stain-resis- tant, non-slip surface with a floor drain for any water that may splash from the spa.

5.Be sure that the location you choose is stable. It must be able to support the weight of the spa when it is filled with water, plus the weight of the occupants. The spa weighs approximately 2,700 pounds when it is filled with water.

6.Do not use the spa above a finished living area, due to the risk of water damage.

7.Be sure that there is room around the spa to per- mit servicing of the unit. The dimensions of the spa are 80” W x 76” L x 36” H. You should allow for this size when choosing the location.

8.The spa is not designed for in-floor installation. However, it is compatible with a deck system that is built flush with the top of the spa, provided that you leave access to the motor for service.

9.Be sure to note any other considerations, such as aesthetics or privacy concerns, that may affect the safety or enjoyment of using the spa.

If you set up the hydrotherapy spa outside:

1.Check local building codes concerning the use of outdoor spas.

2.The spa should be located near a 240-volt power source. It must be wired directly into a grounded circuit with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) capable of carrying 30 amps. No other appliance should be on the same circuit.

3.The spa should be close to a source of water.

4.We recommend that you place the spa on a water- and stain-resistant, non-slip surface. Do not use the spa on rough or sharp surfaces such as gravel or wood chips.

5.Be sure that the location you choose is stable. It must be able to support the weight of the spa when it is filled with water, plus the weight of the occupants. The spa weighs approximately 2,700 pounds when it is filled with water.

6.Consider environmental factors such as rain, wind, shade, sunlight etc.

7.You should be able to monitor the use of the spa from your home, to prevent unauthorized use by children. You may want to enclose the spa with a fence and self-latching gate to prevent unautho- rized use.

8.Be sure that there is room around the spa to per- mit servicing of the unit. The dimensions of the spa are 80” W x 76” L x 36” H. You should allow for this size when choosing the location.

9.The spa is not designed to be installed below ground level. However, it is compatible with a deck system that is built flush with the top of the spa, provided that you leave access to the motor for service.

10.Be sure to note any other considerations, such as aesthetics or privacy concerns, that may affect the safety or enjoyment of using the spa.
