Site Selection

Your hot tub is totally self-contained and portable. You can place it just about anywhere you wish; on a patio, deck, rooftop or even directly on the ground. Regardless of your choice of location, the hot tub should always be placed on a firm, level, well-drained base. When properly installed, the base of the hot tub will rest flat on the supporting surface. Failure to do so can cause the hot tub to distort, collapse, crack, or otherwise damage the spa shell or skirt.

When considering an installation site, always allow for easy access to your equipment. The installation site should also allow enough room to completely remove and store the hot tub cover during use.

CAUTION: DO NOT INSTALL YOUR HOT TUB WITHIN 10' OF OVERHEAD POWER LINES.

If you are considering placing the hot tub on an elevated deck, platform, or indoors, we recommend that you consult a structural engineer or contractor prior to installation.

Make sure the hot tub is positioned so that access to the equipment compartment and all side panels will not be blocked. Be certain that your installation will meet all city and local safety codes and requirements.

Although your hot tub has been designed to be operated outdoors during all seasons, some people choose to locate their unit indoors. Special precautions must be observed when putting your spa indoors, specifically in a heated room or solarium.

Proper ventilation

The room must be properly vented to allow moisture and excess heat to escape.

Moisture:

Using your spa for 15 – 20 minutes gives off the same moisture/condensation as a 15 – 20 minute shower, so a proper bathroom fan should be installed.

Heat:

It is also very important to allow proper ventilation to prevent the heat generated by the spa equipment to become trapped in the spa area as this will lead to excess water temperatures. This could potentially cause premature equipment failure. The equipment cabinet should be vented if installed indoors, or in any area where the ambient temperature is elevated to keep the equipment from overheating.
