Site Selection
Site Preparation
Your Hot Tub is totally self-contained. You can place it on a patio, deck, or even
directly on the ground. Regardless of your choice of location, the hot tub should
always be placed on a firm, level surface.
When considering an installation site, always allow for easy access to your
equipment.
If you are considering placing the hot tub on an elevated deck or platform we
recommend that you consult a structural engineer or contractor prior to installation.
Warning: Do not allow electrical appliances (such as a light, telephone, or television) Warning: Do not allow electrical appliances (such as a light, telephone, or television)
within 1.5 m of this hot tub.
Your Hot Tub has been engineered for installation on any firm level surface. While a
concrete slab is the best for long-term use, other solid foundations are acceptable.
Other suggestions include gravel or paving-stones. As a homeowner, it is your
responsibility to provide a suitable, level foundation for your hot tub since most
delivery crews are not equipped to level or prepare sites. Keep in mind that placing
the hot tub on grass or dirt may increase the amount of debris that is inadvertently
brought into the hot tub water on users' feet. It is important to note that structural
damage resulting from incorrect placement on an inadequate foundation is not damage resulting from incorrect placement on an inadequate foundation is not
covered under the hot tub's structural guarantee.
Our Hot Tubs are tested for leaks at the factory. However before doing a permanent
installation, such as cementing it into the ground, we recommend running the hot tub
with water to ensure that there are no leaks and that the equipment is working
properly.
