780 SERIES
CAUTION: If the spa is indoors or located in an enclosed area,
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. This
can cause health risk. Over time, this can damage certain surfaces,
surroundings, and equipment.
4.1 Outdoor Location
In selecting the ideal outdoor location for your spa, we suggest that you
take into consideration the following:
The proximity to changing area and shelter (especially in regions •
subject to cold weather).
The pathway to and from your spa (this should be free of debris so •
that dirt and leaves are not easily tracked into the spa).
The closeness to trees and shrubbery (remember that leaves and •
birds could create extra work in keeping the spa clean).
A sheltered environment (less wind and weather exposure can result •
in lowered operation and maintenance costs).
The overall enhancement of your environment. It is preferable not to •
place the spa under an unguttered roof overhang since run-off water
will shorten the life expectancy of the spa cover.
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.
4.2 Indoor Location
For indoor installations many factors need to be considered before
installing a spa indoors:
WARNING:
In addition to maintenance of filters and water
chemistry, proper ventilation is recommended to reduce the
risk of contracting a waterborne illness (e.g. an infection,
bacteria or virus) and/or respiratory ailments 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.

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.
