780 SERIES

Before installing your spa, check with your local building department to

ensure installation conforms to local building codes.

120/240 volt dover Convertible Model

A spa connected to a 120 VAC electrical service must be located close

enough to a grounded, grounding-type electrical outlet so that the

included 10 feet (3m) power cord can be plugged directly into it.

NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORd as this could cause damage to the

spa’s equipment due to insufficient voltage. The power supplied to this

spa must be a dedicated circuit with no other appliances or lights sharing

the power provided by the circuit.

4.0 Choosing A Location

IMPORTANT: Because of the combined weight of the spa, water

and users, it is extremely important that the base upon which the

spa rests be smooth, flat, level and capable of uniformly supporting

this weight, 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 skirt and/or the spa shell may result.

Damage caused by improper support is not covered under warranty.

It is the responsibility of the spa owner to assure the integrity of the

support over time. We recommend a poured, reinforced concrete

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

is also acceptable provided it is constructed so that it meets the

requirements outlined above.

WARNING:

For spas that are to rest on balconies,

roofs or other platforms not specifically tied into main

structural support, consult a professional Structural

Engineer with experience in this type of application.

!

The spa must be installed in such a manner as to provide drainage away

from it. Placing the spa in a depression without provisions for proper

drainage could allow rain, overflow and other casual water to flood the

equipment and create a wet condition in which it would sit in. For spas

which will be recessed into a floor or deck, install so as to permit access

to the equipment, either from above or below, for servicing. Make certain

that there are no obstructions which would prevent removal of all side

cabinet panels and access to the jets components, especially on the

side with the equipment bay doors.
