• A sheltered environment (less wind and weather exposure can result
in lowered operation and maintenance costs).
• The overall enhancement of your environment. It is preferable not
to place the hot tub under an unguttered roof overhang since run-off
water will shorten the life expectancy of the hot tub cover.
• For spas that are to rest on balconies, roofs or other platforms not
specicallytiedintomainstructuralsupport,consultaprofessional
Structural Engineer with experience in this type of application.
• In the unlikely event that you should ever need to access or
gain entry to any portion of the hot tub for servicing, it is highly
recommended that you plan your outdoor installation to provide full
access to the entire hot tub. Please take this into consideration when
placing the hot tub in a deck or enclosed by a surrounding.
• Considerlocatingyourhottubawayfromanyreectivesurfaceor
glass to prevent any damage to the synthetic skirt.
• Do not shim the hot tub. To ensure proper support the hot tub must
sitatontheintendedfoundation.

teria or virus) and/or respiratory ailments that could be present

• Proper Foundation: Consult a Structural Engineer when
considering a foundation that will adequately support the hot
tub the entire time it is in place. Proper support is critical especially
if the hot tub is to rest on a second story or higher. For spas that
aretorestonbalconies,roofsorotherplatformsnotspecicallytied
into the main structural support, you should consult a professional
Structural Engineer with experience in this type of application.
• Proper Drainage: It is extremely important to have in place
measures to sufciently handle excessive water spillage. Be
suretheooringinwhichthehottubrestsonhasadequatedrainage
and can handle the entire contents of the hot tub. Be sure to make
provisions for ceilings and other structures that may be below the
spas installation. Areas around your hot tub can become wet or
moistsoallooringandsubsequentfurniture,wallsandadjacent
structures should be able to withstand or resist water and moisture.
