For indoor installations many factors need to be considered before 

installing a spa indoors.

  In addition to maintenance of filters 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 specific needs if installing your 

hot tub indoors.

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 specifically tied 

into the main structural support, you should consult a professional 

Structural Engineer with experience in this type of application.
Proper Drainage:

 

measures to sufficiently handle excessive water spillage. Be 

sure the flooring in which the spa rests on has adequate drainage 

and can handle the entire contents of the spa. Be sure to make 

provisions for ceilings and other structures that may be below the 

spas installation. Areas around your spa can become wet or moist so 

all flooring and subsequent furniture, walls and adjacent structures 

should be able to withstand or resist water and moisture.
Proper Ventilation:

 

associated with chemical odors outdoors. When the spa is in use 

considerable amounts of moisture will escape, potentially causing 

mold and mildew over time which 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 to local codes or authorities is 

not covered under the spas warranty. Please consult your local state 

or city building ordinances.
