4.2 Indoor Location
For indoor installations many factors need to be considered before
installing a spa 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.
• PROPER VENTILATION. Proper ventilation should be discussed
with an Engineer or authority competent enough to understand
the necessary provisions needed to vent moist or heated air and
air associated with chemical odors outdoors. When the spa is
in use considerable amounts of moisture will escape potentially
causing mold and mildew, over time this can damage certain
surfaces and or surroundings.
• SUFFICIENT ACCESS. In the unlikely event that you should
ever need to access or gain entry to any portion of the spa for
servicing, it is highly recommended that you plan your indoor
installation to provide full access to the entire spa.
• WARRANTY. Damage caused by not following these guidelines
or any improper installation not in accordance with local codes
or authorities is not covered under the spas warranty. Please
consult your local state or city building ordinances.
WARNINg: In addition to maintenance of filters and water
chemistry, proper ventilation is recommended to reduce the
risk of exposure to viruses and bacteria that could be present
in the air or water. Consult a licensed architect or building
contractor to determine your specific needs if installing your
spa indoors.
