ALWAYS COMPLY WITH LOCAL BUILDING CODES AND
OBTAIN ANY NECESSARY PERMITS. YOU MAY ALSO NEED
TO CONSULT WITH AN ENGINEER TO ADDRESS YOUR
SPECIFIC DESIGN NEEDS.
CONTACT AN ELECTRICIAN TO ASSESS YOUR ELECTRICAL
NEEDS, INSTALL WIRING, AND ENSURE A SAFE OPERATION.
POSITION YOUR HOT TUB WITH PROPER ACCESS TO
WATER, DRAINAGE, AND ELECTRICITY.
PLACE YOUR HOT TUB ON A UNIFORM SOLID, FLAT
SURFACE DESIGNED TO PROPERLY SUPPORT ITS WEIGHT.
FOR EXTERNAL INSTALLATIONS, A 4 INCH (10 CM) CEMENT
PAD SUFFICES.
FOR INTERNAL INSTALLATIONS, CHECK THE LOAD-
CARRYING CAPABILITIES OF THE FLOOR ON WHICH THE
HOT TUB WILL RESIDE. MOST HOMES MEET THE
REQUIREMENT OF 80 LBS PER SQUARE FOOT.
INSURE THAT YOUR HOT TUB WILL FIT INTO THE SPACE
YOU HAVE CHOSEN AND THE DELIVERY ROUTE WILL
ACCOMMODATE ITS LARGE SIZE.
PROVIDE ADEQUATE VENTILATION FOR THE HUMIDITY
CREATED BY A HOT TUB. IN MOST CASES, A HOT TUB
HARDCOVER IS SUFFICIENT.
PROTECT THE PUMP AND ALL EQUIPMENT FROM THE
WEATHER BY ENSURING THE CABINET PANELS ARE SECURE
AT ALL TIMES.
ALLOW 36 INCHES (1 METER) OF UNOBSTRUCTED ACCESS
TO ALL SIDES OF YOUR HOT TUB FOR SERVICING.
