Locating your hot tub/spa

CHOOSING A LOCATION

This spa is designed for indoor or outdoor use. Factors to consider

when choosing a location for the spa include: weight of the spa,

indoor/outdoor location and drainage. The following section provides

guidelines that must be followed. It is the sole responsibility of the

spa owner to ensure proper installation of the spa.

IMPORTANT: The base upon which the spa is placed must be

smooth, ﬂat, level and capable of uniformly supporting the combined

weight of the spa, water and users, without shifting or settling, for

the entire time the spa is in place. If the spa is placed on a surface

which does not meet these requirements, damage to the Spa Skirt

and/or Spa Shell may result. Damage caused by improper support is

not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. It is the responsibility of

the spa owner to ensure the integrity of the supporting structure at all

times. SPA BASE: We recommend a poured, steel reinforced concrete

slab with a minimum thickness of 4 inches (10cm). Wood decking is

acceptable if it is constructed so that it meets the structural

requirements outlined above.

The spa location must provide drainage away from the spa. Placing

the spa in a depression without provisions for proper drainage could

allow rain water, snow melt, overﬂow and other casual water to ﬂood

the equipment bay, creating a wet condition in which the spa could

be damaged. For spas recessed into a deck, installation must permit

access to the spa access panels, either from above or below for

servicing. Ensure that there are no obstructions which would prevent

removal of all access panels and access to jet components, espe-

cially on the side of the access panels (typically under the topside

Console).

WEIGHT CALCULATIONS: See spa speciﬁcations for exact weights.

Typically the dry weight of a spa can range from 600-1000 lbs (US)

(220-455 kg) dry. The volume of the spa can range from 300-400

gallons US (1135-1515 litres). Use the average weight of water (8 lbs

(US) per gallon or 2.1 kg per litre) to approximate the total weight of

the spa without users.

OUTDOOR LOCATION

Considerations for selecting an outdoor spa location:

• Proximity to the power source (long length of cable can be

expensive)

• Local building and home owner association codes pertaining to

the installation of a portable spa

• Do not place your spa within 3m 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 relevant local, and national

safety codes and requirements.

• How you intend to use your spa will help you determine where

you should position it. 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.

• If you live in a region where it is cold or rains frequently, place the

spa near a house entry.

• In a cold-weather climate, bare trees won’t provide much privacy.

Think of your spa’s surroundings during all seasons to determine

your best privacy options. Consider the view of your neighbours

when you plan the location of your spa.

• 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 enter your spa.

• Adequate space for spa with accessibility for service (Clearance

of 3 ft (1m) around the spa is recommended to permit servicing

the unit)

• Proper structural support is critical. Consult a licensed

professional Structural Engineer to determine if the foundation

will adequately support the spa the entire time it will be in place,

especially if the spa is to be placed on a deck, balcony, roof or

other platform not speciﬁcally tied into the main structural

support.

• Drainage: The area in which the spa is placed must have

adequate drainage to handle the entire water content of the spa.

In the event of spillage, areas around the spa may become wet;

therefore, all ﬂooring, furniture, walls and adjacent structures

should be able to withstand or resist water and moisture.

• Pathway to and from the spa (free of debris, dirt and leaves as

not to be tracked into the spa)

• Closeness to trees and shrubbery (leaves and birds create extra

cleaning)

• Sheltered environment (less wind and weather exposure results

in lower operating and maintenance costs)

• Proximity to changing area and shelter (especially in cold

weather)

• Environmental factors such as rain, wind, snow and sunlight (run

off water, as from an unguttered roof overhang, shortens the

life expectancy of the spa cover)

• Accessibly to children (you should be able to monitor the use of

the spa from the home to prevent unauthorised use by children;

you may want to enclose the spa with a fence or a self latching

gate to prevent unauthorised use)

• Cover lift clearance (if you will be installing a cover lift as an add-

on feature, allow 3ft (1m) on all sides of the spa)
