If you are installing a deck or a gazebo for your spa, a solid
foundaon becomes mandatory. Placing them on any surface
other than a single level pad could create problems with their
installaon. Pictured at right are a few of the recommended
surfaces.
As a homeowner, it is your responsibility to provide a suitable,
level foundaon for your spa. Keep in mind that most delivery
crews are not equipped to level and prepare spa sites.
If you are interested in having a concrete slab, brick surface, or a
wooden deck installed, your Hot Spring dealer should be able to
suggest a qualied, licensed contractor.
NOTE: For the spa to operate properly and the
internal plumbing to drain completely, you must
ensure that the spa surface is level before
installaon. Shimming or point leveling is NOT
supported or recommended by the manufacturer.
GROUND PREPARATION
Your Hot Spring spa has been engineered to perform on several kinds of surfaces. While a concrete slab is best for
long-term use, other foundaons are acceptable so long as a level base is prepared prior to delivery.
NOTE: Have a reinforced concrete pad at least 4 inches (10 cm) thick or a deck that can withstand the pounds per
square foot listed in the Spa Specicaon secon.
INSTALLATION NOTES:
• If brick or wood decking is selected for the spa foundaon, it should be placed and leveled below the enre
spa to maintain even distribuon of the spa weight.
• It is important to note that if bricks are used to distribute the weight of the spa there may sll be a tendency
to sele unevenly, resulng in an unlevel spa.
• Remember, placing the spa around grass or dirt may increase the amount of debris which is inadvertently
brought into the spa on the user’s feet.
