Installation Instructions
Site Preparation
Please ensure the following:
• Always put your spa on a structurally sound, level surface. A filled spa can weigh a great deal.
Make certain that the location you choose can support the weight of your filled spa.
• Locate your equipment compartment, which houses all of the electrical components, in a place
where you will have easy access for periodic spa care and maintenance.
• Allow adequate access to all other doors for service.
Outdoor Ground Level Installation
No matter where you install your new spa, it’s important that you have a solid foundation for sup-
port. If you are installing a spa with a wooden pedestal floor outdoors, we recommend you place patio
stones underneath spaced out evenly. The stones should be at least two inches thick and twelve inches
square (30 cm x 30 cm). Even with stones in place, the spa will possibly settle and become uneven, and
may require re-leveling over time. If you are installing a spa with a Forever Floor
®
outdoors, you may
set it on virtually any surface, as long as it is firm and level.
Deck Installation
To be certain your deck can support your spa, you must know the deck’s maximum load capacity. Con-
sult a qualified building contractor or structural engineer. To find the weight of your spa, its contents
and occupants, refer to the Spa Specification chart. This weight per square foot must not exceed the
structure’s rated capacity, or serious structural damage could result.

codes.
All Weather Pool Site Prep
Your new All Weather Pool should be placed on a prepared, uniformly solid and level surface (concrete
pad, properly engineered wood deck, etc.). The AWP should not be placed directly on a lawn, bare
ground, or gravel pad due to irregularities in the surface that may cause structural failure of the cabinet
and shell that could void the warranty.
Balconies, concrete pads, and decks should
be constructed to meet all builder codes
and should be able to or exceed supporting
146 Lbs per square foot.
Your Arctic Spa is equipped with access
doors on all four sides. It is the customer’s
responsibility to provide access and en-
sure there is a minimum of 18” and 24”
(450mm and 600mm) the more the better.
Consult your sales person or service de-
partment on the different ways to achieve
this clearance.
WARNING! WARNING!
We recommend that the Arctic Spa be installed above
ground. Consult a licensed building contractor to
design or evaluate your custom decking requirements.
Please ensure access to all doors on all 4 sides of the
spa for serviceability.
