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.
