YARD INSTALLATION

Position your spa above ground in an area with good drainage, on a level surface that contacts the spa fully. The ideal base is a concrete pad, however compacted gravel, paving stones or railway ties may also be used. Locate the spa so the equipment door is readily accessible. The equip- ment has to be above grade and not subject to flooding. If using compacted gravel, it must be on a firm level base and it must be contained in a secure wood or concrete border so that the loose gravel cannot shift once the spa is in place.

DECK INSTALLATION

Before placing your spa on a deck or other raised platform, you must have the structure checked for its loading capacity by an Engineer or competent contractor. The minimum load capacity is 100 lbs per square foot. Before placing the spa on the deck, you should place 1.5” high-density foam insulation under the spa. This helps insulate the spa and prevent the transmission of noise. At the same time providing the under- side of the spa with extra insulation.

WARNING

One must support the entire base of the spa, from the outside edges to the centre, to support its weight. Improper placement of your spa may void the warranty.
