You probably have a spot picked out for your new spa, whether it’s indoors or outdoors, on a patio or on a deck.
Just make sure you check 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.
• Don’tforgettolevelyourspabeforefillingit.(SeetheSpaLevelingPreparationsectiononnextpage.)
• Locateyourequipmentcompartment,whichhousesalloftheelectricalcomponents,inaplacewherewaterwilldrainawayfromit.Allowingwaterintothe
equipment compartment can damage the electronics, or may result in tripping your house’s circuit breaker.

WARNING: Damage to the spa’s equipment compartment components or internal plumbing as a result of rodent infestation is NOT covered under your
warranty!
OUTDOOR AND PATIO INSTALLATION
No matter where you install your new spa, it’s important that you have a solid foundation to support it. Structural damage to the spa, resulting from incorrect installation,
or placement on an inadequate foundation, is not covered under the spa’s limited warranty.
If you install the spa outdoors, we recommend a reinforced concrete pad at least four inches thick. The reinforcing rod or mesh in the pad should be attached to a bond wire.
