Selecting location

Is permitting required for construction, electrical, or barriers?
Most cities and counties require permits for exterior construction and electrical circuits. Some areas have codes requiring barriers such
as fencing and/or self-closing gates on property to prevent unsupervised access to the property by children. Your local code
enforcement department can provide information on which permits may be required and how to obtain them before delivery of your
spa
Is the support surface adequate to support the weight of the spa?
Provide a solid flat level load-bearing surface. The surface must provide a solid foundation with a minimum load bearing capacity of
639 kg per square meter (130 pounds per square foot). Concrete slabs and decks must be designed to support this weight.
Is the support surface impervious to water and adequate to handle water overflow?
The surface must be suitable for a wet location and allow for adequate drainage for overflow water
Are there considerations for limiting access by children?
Childproof Your Spa. Plan for limiting access by children. Take precautions such as self-closing, locking gates, access doors, fencing and
other child barriers, as dictated by the site.
Are there overhead electrical lines?
Do not locate your spa under overhead power lines or in near proximity to existing buried or exposed electrical circuits.
Is there adequate room to access the service door, drain, filter and insulating cover removal?
If you are installing your spa near a wall or with any type of structure on the outside, such as a gazebo, remember to allow access for
service and insulating cover removal.
Is there any privacy considerations?
Is there electrical connection considerations?
Your spa will be connected to electrical power by an electrician. You may want to consult your electrician before final positioning of
your spa. Electrical connection information can be found on pages 8 and 9.
