The pathway to and from your spa (this should be free of debris so •
that dirt and leaves are not easily tracked into the spa).
The closeness to trees and shrubbery (remember that leaves and •
birds could create extra work in keeping the spa clean).
A sheltered environment (less wind and weather exposure can result •
in lowered operation and maintenance costs).
The overall enhancement of your environment. It is preferable not to •
place the spa under an unguttered roof overhang since run-off water
will shorten the life expectancy of the spa cover.
For spas that are to rest on balconies, roofs or other platforms not •
specically tied into main structural support, consult a professional
Structural Engineer with experience in this type of application.
4.2 Indoor Location
For indoor installations many factors need to be considered before
installing a spa indoors:
WARNING: In addition to maintenance of lters and water
chemistry, proper ventilation is recommended to reduce the
risk of contracting a waterborne
illness (e.g. an infection,
bacteria or virus) and/or respiratory ailments
that could be
present in the air or water. Consult a licensed architect or
building contractor to determine your specic needs if
installing your hot tub indoors.

PROPER FOUNdATION:• Consult a Structural Engineer when
considering a foundation that will adequately support the spa
the entire time it is in place. Proper support is critical especially if
the spa is to rest on a second story or higher. For spas that are to
rest on balconies, roofs or other platforms not specifically tied into the
main structural support, you should consult a professional Structural
Engineer with experience in this type of application.
PROPER dRAINAGE:• It is extremely important to have in place
measures to sufficiently handle excessive water spillage. Be
sure the flooring in which the spa rests on has adequate drainage
and can handle draining of the entire contents of the spa. Be sure
to make provisions for ceilings or any other structures that may be
below the spas installation. Areas around your spa can become wet
or moist so all flooring and subsequent furniture, walls and adjacent
structures should be able to withstand or resist water and moisture.
