Planning the Best Location
Safety first
Do not place your spa within 10 feet (3 m) of overhead power lines.
Make sure the spa is positioned so that access to the equipment compartment and all side panels will not be blocked. Be certain that your installation will meet all city and local safety codes and requirements.
Consider how you will use your spa
How you intend to use your spa will help you determine where you should position it. For example, will you use your spa for recreational or therapeutic purposes? If your spa is mainly used for family recreation, be sure to leave plenty of room around it for activity. If you will use it for relaxation and therapy, you’ll probably want to create a specific mood around it.
Plan for your environment
If you live in a region where it snows in the winter or rains frequently, place the spa near a house entry. By doing this, you will have a place to change clothes and not be uncomfortable.
Consider your privacy
In a
Provide a view with your spa
Think about the direction you will be facing when sitting in your spa. Do you have a special landscaped area in your yard that you find enjoyable? Perhaps there is an area that catches a soothing breeze during the day or a lovely sunset in the evening.
Keep your spa clean
Prevent dirt and contaminants from being tracked into your spa by placing a foot mat at the spa’s entrance where the bather’s can clean their feet before entering your spa. You may also consider keeping a small water- filled basin nearby for bathers to rinse their feet before entering your spa.
In planning your spa’s location, consider a location where the path to and from the house can be kept clean and free of debris.
