Preparing for Your SpaPreparing for Your Spa
Pre-Delivery Checklist
Most cities and countries require permits for exterior
construction and electrical circuits. In addition, some
communities have codes that require residential barriers,
such as fencing and/or self closing gates on property to
prevent unsupervised children from entering the proper-
ty. Your dealer can provide information on which permits
may be required and how to obtain them prior to the
delivery of the spa.

Pre-Delivery Checklist
Do no place your spa within 10 feet (3m) of
overhead power lines.
Think about the direction you will be facing when
sitting in your spa. Do you have a special land-
scaped area in your home you nd enjoyable?
A area that takes advantage of a good view, or
a favorite spot that catches a soothing breeze
throughout the day.
Provide a View with Your Spa
Consider How You Will Use Your Spa
How you intend to use your spa will help you de-
termine where you should position it. For exam-
ple, will you use your spa for therapeutic pur-
poses? Recreational use? If your spa is intended
for recreational use make sure to leave plenty of
room around it for activity. If you intend to use
the spa for relaxation and therapy, you will prob-
ably want to create a specic mood around it
Keep Your Spa Clean
In planning your spa’s location, consider a loca-
tion where the path to and from the house can
be kept clean and free of debris. Prevent dirt and
contaminants from being tracked into the spa.
Place a bath mat next to the spa entrance to
allow users to clean their feet before going into
the spa. Sunscreen and tanning lotions that don’t
properly absorb into the skin will contaminate
the water, adjust ltration times if needed.
Note: some sunscreens require application 15-
20 minutes before exposure to water.
Plan for Your Environment
If you live in a region where it snows in the
winter or rains frequently, place the spa near a
house entry. By doing this you will have a space
to change clothes and not be uncomfortable.
Consider Your Privacy
In cold-weather climate, bare trees wont provide
much privacy. Take into consideration year round
climate when looking for the best privacy options
for you spa. Consider the view of your neighbors
as well
Allow for Service Access
Make sure the spa is positioned with access to
all side panels to access internal equipment. It is
important that all side panels are not blocked.
Many people choose to install a decorative struc-
ture around their spa, if you are installing your
spa with any type of structure on the outside,
such as a gazebo, remember to allow access for
service. We recommend designing surrounds for
your spa that can easily be moved or lifted o
the ground.
