SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
INDOOR INSTALLATIONS
• It is beneficial to have the hot tub room located near wash room and shower facilies
• The hot tub room should have a floor drain to handle splash water, a window, outside exhaust fan or humidistat controlled
exhaust fan for venlaon and a humidifier.
• Consider plumbing a water tap and drain locaon nearby to facilitate draining and top-up
• Always provide adequate venlaon for the support equipment
• Consult your local Hydropool retailer for further informaon
OUTDOOR INSTALLATIONS
• Contact your local building code department to determine if a building permit is necessary and for informaon on applicable
bylaws (distance from property lines, buildings, fencing requirements, etc.)
• If you are doing any excavang, contact your local gas, electric, and cable-company to ensure that there are no underground
lines
• Locate the hot tub, where praccal, within close distance of a door to the house to maximize potenal winter use.
• Ensure that all hot tub support equipment is easily accessible and protected from the elements
• The hot tub support equipment is designed for indoor (out of the direct elements) use. When your HYDROPOOL hot tub is
equipped with a factory-installed cabinet, and installed as per the guidelines of this manual, the equipment will be
adequately protected. If the hot tub is shipped without a cabinet, your custom cabinet or other structure must be designed
to supply protecon for the hot tub support equipment from rain, snow, splash water, etc., but sll designed in a manner to
ensure adequate venlaon.
SITE PREPARATION
ABOVE-GROUND INSTALLATIONS
Where the hot tub is a “stand-alone” above-ground installaon to be installed in regions where freeze/thaw condions may
occur, a level pao stone or pre-formed paver type base may be sufficient if there is no abung deck(s) that could be
damaged during potenal seasonal movement of the ground. The potenal drawback to this type of base is that splash water
could eventually de-stabilize the ground under the base, with the resultant shi of the support base causing damage to the
hot tub structure.
For best results, we recommend the installaon of a level concrete pad:
• Dig out and level the ground 20-30 cm (8-12 in.) below your desired base level.
• Install 10-15 cm (4-6 in.) of crushed stone.
• Next, install 10-15 cm (4-6 in.) of poured concrete.
• Level the concrete and apply a broom-type finish.
• We recommend that the pad be made 15 cm (6 in.) larger than the hot tub on three sides, and 1 m (3 .) larger on the
side where the access steps and/or planters will be installed.
• Hot tub must be installed on a level pad
In regions where freeze/thaw occurs, or where there will be custom decking abung the hot tub we recommend the
installaon of sono-tubes beneath the pad to prevent shiing.
