INSTALLATION

No matter where you put your new spa, it’s important that it has a

solid foundation to support it. In fact, structural damage to the spa,

resulting from incorrect installation, or placement on an inadequate

foundation, is not covered under the spa’s limited warranty.

If you install the spa outdoors, we recommend a reinforced concrete

pad at least ten centimeters (four inches) thick. The reinforcing rod

or mesh in the pad should be attached to a 6 mm² bonding wire

per national electrical codes (contact your local electrical code

compliance inspector for more information; inspection for proper

grounding may be required before pouring concrete to form the

slab).

If you place the spa on the ground, even temporarily, place stepping

stones under the leveling areas (see Spa Leveling Instructions). The

stones should be at least 5 cm thick and 30 cm square. Even with

stones in place, the spa will inevitably settle and become unlevel.

Plus, a spa surrounded by dirt or grass will soon be filled with dirt or

grass from users’ feet. So get it onto a solid foundation as soon as

possible.

DECK INSTALLATION

To be certain your deck can support your spa, you must know the

deck’s maximum load capacity. Consult a qualified building contractor

or structural engineer. To find the weight of your spa, its contents

and occupants, refer to the Spa Specification chart. This weight per

square meter must not exceed the structure’s rated capacity, or serious

structural damage could result.

CAUTION: Watkins Manufacturing suggests a structural engineer or

contractor be consulted before the spa is placed on an elevated deck.

INDOOR/BASEMENT INSTALLATION

Be aware of some special requirements if you place your spa indoors.

Water will accumulate around the spa, so flooring materials must

provide a good grip when wet. Proper drainage is essential to prevent

a build-up of water around the spa. When building a new room for the

spa it is recommended that a floor drain be installed. The humidity

will naturally increase with the spa installed. Water may get into

woodwork and produce dry rot, mildew, or other problems. Check for

airborne moisture’s effects on exposed wood, paper, etc. in the room.

To minimize these effects, it is best to provide plenty of ventilation to

the spa area. An architect can help to determine if more ventilation

must be installed.

CALDERA spas are equipped with a vent to remove excessive

heat from the equipment compartment. Find this vent (its under the

bottom front left or right corner) and be sure the vent is not blocked by

anything, including carpeting.

Your CALDERA dealer can help you with local information such as

zoning regulations and building codes. They can also give you a copy

of our planning guide.

CAUTION: Do not install the spa on a heated floor.

WARNING: Please keep the area around your spa well

ventilated when it is installed indoors or in a confined area.

Inadequate ventilation around the spa could cause a build-up of a

higher-than-normal concentration of spa chemicals and/or bacterial

fragments. These dispersed spa chemicals and/or bacterial

fragments can be inhaled, and may result in breathing difficulties or

lung damage in certain people suffering from a compromised

immune system or respiratory infection. If you or other bathers are

affected by this condition, please seek medical attention as soon as

possible.

DELIVERY ACCESS

NOTE: It may be necessary to allow for additional over-head clearance if the

spa will be rolled up or down an incline or moved up or down a short flight of

stairs.

Use the information in the chart below to determine the requirements for

access to your desired location. It may be necessary to remove a gate, part of

a fence, or other movable obstructions in order to roll the spa to its installation

site. About ten percent of the time, a crane is the only way to install the spa by

lifting it to its final destination.

If the spa has to be taken off of the cart to go over a wall (either because the

entry area is too narrow, the eaves are too low, the corner is too tight, or the

stairway is too steep), a crane will be required. Don’t be alarmed!

The crane has a truck-mounted boom which can fit right in your driveway. It

is run by a licensed and insured operator. For a charge, the crane operator

will lift your spa over walls, buildings,

or any other obstruction and place it as

close to the installation site as possible.

The CALDERA spa delivery personnel

will supervise the crane delivery and

complete the spa installation. Crane

delivery typically takes an average of 30

minutes to complete.

NOTE: If your spa delivery requires the

use of a crane, you may be required to

pay for its services at the completion of

the delivery.
