1. Determine the exact location of the Panel.
WARNING: IT IS IMPORTANT TO POSITION THE
PANEL SO THAT IT CANNOT BE SUBMERGED AT
ANY TIME!
Occasional splashing is permissible so long as the
water can drain off the Panel. While the Panel is
designed to get wet, constant water contact MUST
be avoided.
2. Provide an unobstructed flat surface.
CAUTION: ANTICIPATE WHAT THE WATER LEVEL WILL BE
WHEN PLANNING INSTALLATION
Water level can rise by as much as 6 inches, depending
upon the size and shape of the spa, as well as the
number of people in the spa at any given time.
The Panel can be located on the deck next to the spa
or on a vertical wall of the spa. Be sure the location
selected provides an unobstructed flat surface that is
at least 4" high x 8" wide upon which the Panel can be
mounted. The 1” conduit that receives the Panel will
protrude from the middle of the area.
This provision needs to be deliberately planned during
the placement of the concrete/gunite and during the
installation of tile and coping stone, etc. This is the
area required on the final finished surface for mounting
the Panel.
Locating and Installing the Spa-Side Control Panel
Fig. 25 Acceptable Location of Spa-side Control Panel
Remember: The water level in a spill-over type spa will depend upon which direction the valves are facing.
LOCATION GUIDELINES: The Spa-side Control Panel is hereafter referred to as the “Panel", and should be carefully
planned and installed during the initial pool/spa construction. This will allow for important steps to be completed before
the concrete or gunite is placed.
Planning Is Essential: The specific Panel location needs to be determined ahead of time and planned. Also, the
PVC conduit along with any pulling elbow or junction boxes as required to route the Panel cable to the System
Control Center needs to be in place. If the Panel is installed after the pool/spa construction has been completed, the
installation must fulfill the intent of these instructions.
