D. Location: Choose a location that is not susceptible to infestation.
This will help to protect against ants, termites or any other type of
burrowing insect as well as field mice and rats from inhabiting the foam.
Such an occurrence may cause damage to your Softub and is not
covered under warranty.
OUTDOOR INSTALLATION
You may place the Softub on any smooth surface (tile, concrete, wood,
brick or sand). Verify there are no sharp objects under the tub prior to
setup. It is suggested you do not place the Softub in an area where dirt
and debris may be tracked into the tub. Check your local codes for
restrictions (i.e. childproof gates).
Your dealer may offer a variety of accessories. These include gazebos,
spa enclosures, and decks. A solid foundation is mandatory to ensure
stability of the structure or deck.
For easier maintenance, improved energy efficiency, better cleanliness
and to prolong the life of your Softub, we recommend the use of a
specially made protective cover, available at your dealer.
INDOOR INSTALLATION
Water splashing on the floor during use may cause a walking hazard
and/or structural damage unless good drainage is provided. The use of
a catch basin capable of holding the tub’s capacity of water is
recommended as a safeguard in the event of a major spill. Proper
building material must be used in the area surrounding and beneath the
tub. Take into consideration the high room humidity, which will exist.
Providing natural or forced ventilation in the room will help maintain
comfort and minimize moisture damage to the surrounding
environment.
