Installation and Set-Up

Startup Directions
All Vortex Spas require a solid, flat
surface.* This is to ensure that the spa
cabinet is not exposed to a pressure
stress condition that may result in
cabinet damage and shell cracking.
A 100mm thick concrete pad is the
best example of a solid, flat surface,
however, wood decking is suitable,
provided it can withstand 415Kg per
square meter without deflection.
Failure to provide a proper, solid flat
surface may damage your spa and
void your warranty.
Please check with a licensed
contractor and local codes prior to
any construction.
It is very important to make sure that
the spa is filled at least 3/4 way up the
skimmer opening. Make sure the gate
valves are in the open or up position.
Warning: Do not run spa with gate
valves closed or run pump with no
water circulating in spa for long
periods. Damage could occur to the
spa equipment.
