POSITIONING POSITIONING Y Y OUR SP OUR SP A A
Your spa is self-contained. You can place it on a deck, patio,
in your yard, or indoors. Proper site location is an important
element of the overall enjoyment of your new spa, so make
sure you take enough time to properly plan out the position-
ing of your spa. The following information is provided to
help you determine where to place your spa. If you have any
questions or concerns about where to locate your spa, please
contact our customer service department.
YARD INSTALLATION
Position your spa above ground in an area with good
drainage, on a level surface that contacts the spa fully. The
ideal base is a concrete pad, however compacted gravel,
paving stones or railway ties may also be used. Locate the
spa so the equipment door is readily accessible. The equip-
ment has to be above grade and not subject to flooding. If
using compacted gravel, it must be on a firm level base and
it must be contained in a secure wood or concrete border so
that the loose gravel cannot shift once the spa is in place.
DECK INSTALLATION
Before placing your spa on a deck or other raised platform,
you must have the structure checked for its loading capacity
by an Engineer or competent Contractor. Before placing the
spa on the deck, you should place 1.5” high-density foam
insulation under the spa. This helps insulate the spa and pre-
vent the transmission of noise. At the same time providing
the underside of the spa with extra insulation.
WARNING
One must support the entire base of the
spa, from the outside edges to the centre, to
support its weight. Improper placement of
your spa may void the warranty.
IMPORTANT
Check with your local building codes with
regards to fencing and gate requirements.
Your spa measures 84”x84”x34” the dry
weight is 650 lbs, with water 4000 lbs.
