INSTALLATION
Outdoor Installation
If you install the spa outdoors, we recommend that you provide a concrete pad for it to rest on. To do this, construct forms for a 4" thick level pad. Install a #10 gauge wire mesh 6" x 6" steel reinforced grid. Attach a #8 solid copper wire to the grid with a ground clamp. This wire should be long enough to reach the bond bar on the spa electrical cabinet (minimum 36"), but should not be located under the base of the spa. Then pour the concrete pad.
Indoor Installation
Water that splashes on the floor during spa use may cause a walking hazard and/or structural damage. Good drainage must be provided and proper waterproof build- ing materials must be used in the area surrounding and beneath the spa. Take into consideration that high room humidity will exist due to high spa water temperatures. Providing natural or forced ventilation of the room will help maintain comfort and minimize moisture damage to the building. Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath is not responsible for damages resulting from excess moisture or water spillage. Consult an architect or engineer for aid in designing your indoor installation.
Drainage
Whether you install your spa indoors or outdoors, you can drain it completely by attaching a garden hose to the hose bibb located on the suction plumbing of the spa. Simply run the hose to the house sewer line or drain field and open the hose bibb.
Make sure the area surrounding the spa has good drainage to keep water from collecting at the base of the spa— especially near the equipment area. If drainage is poor, install a drain line and/or gravel drain field. (Refer to illustration below.)
