4.1 Preparation

Installation of a level concrete pad is mandatory; If there is a possibility that the pad could shift by freezing / thawing

ground movement (such as in clay regions, and / or areas with high water tables) concrete footings extending below the

frost line are recommended.

You must enlist professionals to complete this preparation work.

level the swim spa during installation. The concrete pad should be slightly larger than the dimensions for the swim spa,

but it may be expanded even further for esthetic purposes or to allow more space for walking around the swim spa.

4.4 IMPORTANT: Swim Spa Frame Shim Installation (Applies to All Installations)

It is mandatory to have full support on all the gussets that are located on side of the swim spa to keep it level and pre-

(you can use a garden hose and spray water on the slab and look for water puddles).

When the swim spa is installed on the slab locate the stickers or white lines on bottom of the swim spa frame to de-

termine where to install the shim. The shims must be installed right under the gussets (the sticker or white line will

appear in the center of the gusset, so it can be used as a guide to align the shim.

Note: There are 2 to 4 gussets per side depending on the model.

Simply attempt to insert the shim under the frame by hand

and then gently tap on it with a hammer to make sure that it is

secure under the frame. If the shim will not slide under by hand

then no shim is need under that gusset.

Proceed to the next gusset and repeat this process. Then with
