3.2 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 hot tub indoors.
