Location
It is very important that your spa be located on a solid, level
foundation.
Alledspaisveryheavy(upto5,000lbs.),withmostoftheweightrest-
ingonthecenterportion.Withoutrmsupportforthebottomofthespa,
settlingcanoccur,causingtheoutsideedgeor“lip”ofthespatocarrythe
weight-load,pullingthespaoutofshape.Cement blocks are not accept-
able, unless they are concreted into place.
A4”thickconcretepadisthedesiredfoundation.Ifabalconyordeckis
used,itmustsupportatleast75poundspersquarefoot.
Aries Spas will not be responsible for damages incurred on spas
placed on other than level, solid surfaces.
Ifyourspaislocatednearwatersprinklers,adjustorrelocatethemsothat
