Hydropool SS14ET - General Installation Requirements

8
GENERAL INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
1 Ensure that your Hydropool Swim Spa is properly support-
ed by either a level concrete pad, or a properly constructed
deck capable of supporng 1220 kg/m
2
(250 lbs./
2
). If
there is a possibility that the pad could shi by freezing/
thawing ground movement (such as in clay regions, and/or
areas with high water tables) concrete foongs extending
below the frost line are recommended.
2 Decking should be chosen and constructed in a manner that
minimizes the chance of slipping or falling.
3 If you do not have a factory installed insulated cabinet, it is
assumed that you are building your own custom cabinet,
ling or decking in combinaon with the leg kit package.
Please consider the following:
a. Always provide a convenient access door for servicing the
equipment.
b. Decking should be constructed to allow future service
access around the enre swim spa.
c. Extra insulaon may be added, however, the equipment
area must remain unimpeded and have adequate
venlaon.
d. Decking should be chosen and constructed in a manner
that minimizes the chance of slipping or falling
e. When not in use or empty, make sure to cover the
swimspa with the hard cover to prevent damage to the
acrylic due to overexposure to the sun.
4 Never suspend the swim spa from a deck or cabinet as
personal injury and/or unwarrantable product damage may
occur.
5 The swim spa equipment and all electrical plugs, outlets
and lights within 1.5m (5) of the pool must be GFCI
protected. Consult your electrician for further details.
6 Installaon of a safety grab rail or reachable support for
use when entering or exing the swim spa is recommended.
7 A nearby garden hose connecon is recommended for
filling and “topping up” the swim spa.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
The swim spa equipment and all electrical
plugs, outlets and lights within 1.5m (5) of
the hot tub must be G.F.C.I protected.
Consult your electrician or local electrical
authority for further details.
Access to the swim spa must always be secured:
Outdoors - in accordance with local property by-laws and/
or via an approved fence with a self-closing gate and a
safety hardcover;
Indoors - by a lockable door and a safety hardcover.
WARNING
INDOOR INSTALLATIONS
• It is beneficial to have the swim spa room located near wash room and shower facilies
• The swim spa 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 swim spa, where praccal, within close distance of a door to the house to maximize potenal winter use.
• Ensure that all swim spa support equipment is easily accessible and protected from the elements
• The swim spa support equipment is designed for indoor (out of the direct elements) use. When your HYDROPOOL swim spa
is equipped with a factory-installed cabinet, and installed as per the guidelines of this manual, the equipment will be
adequately protected. If the swim spa is shipped without a cabinet, your custom cabinet or other structure must be designed
to supply protecon for the swim spa support equipment from rain, snow, splash water, etc., but sll designed in a manner
to ensure adequate venlaon.
