• 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 spa under an unguttered roof overhang since run-off water
will shorten the life expectancy of the spa cover.
• For spas that are to rest on balconies, roofs or other platforms not
specically 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 spa for servicing, it is highly recommended
that you plan your outdoor installation to provide full access to the
entire spa. Please take this into consideration when placing the spa
in a deck or enclosed by a surrounding.
• Consider locating your spa away from any reective surface or glass
to prevent any damage to the synthetic skirt.
• Do not shim the spa. To ensure proper support the spa must sit at
on the intended foundation.
4.2 Indoor Location
For indoor installations many factors need to be considered before
installing a spa indoors:
WARNING: In addition to maintenance of lters and water
chemistry, proper ventilation is recommended to reduce the
risk of contracting a waterborne
illness (e.g. an infection,
bacteria or virus) and/or respiratory ailments
that could be
present in the air or water. Consult a licensed architect
or building contractor to determine your specic needs if
installing your hot tub indoors.

• Proper Foundation: Consult a Structural Engineer when
considering a foundation that will adequately support the spa
the entire time it is in place. Proper support is critical especially
if the spa is to rest on a second story or higher. For spas that are
to rest on balconies, roofs or other platforms not specically 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 sufciently handle excessive water spillage. Be
sure the ooring in which the spa rests on has adequate drainage
and can handle the entire contents of the spa. Be sure to make
provisions for ceilings and other structures that may be below the
spas installation. Areas around your spa 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.
