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, bac-
teria or virus) and/or respiratory ailments
that could be pres-
ent 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 draining of the entire contents of the spa. Be sure
to make provisions for ceilings or any 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.
• PROPER VENTILATION: Proper ventilation should be discussed
with an Engineer or authority competent enough to understand
the necessary provisions needed to vent moist or heated air
and air associated with chemical odors outdoors. When the spa
is in use considerable amounts of moisture will escape potentially
causing mold and mildew, over time this can damage certain
surfaces and or surroundings.
• SUFFICIENT ACCESS: 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 indoor installation to
provide full access to the entire spa.
• WARRANTY: Damage caused by not following these guidelines
or any improper installation not in accordance with local codes or
authorities is not covered under the spas warranty. Please consult
your local state or city building ordinances.
• DO NOT SHIM THE SPA. To ensure proper support the spa must sit
at on the intended foundation.
