Choosing a location
ImporTanT: Because of the combined weight of the spa, water and 
users, it is extremely important that the base upon which the spa rests 
be smooth, flat, level and capable of uniformly supporting this weight, 
without shifting or settling, for the entire time the spa is in place. If the 
spa is placed on a surface which does not meet these requirements, 
damage to the skirt and/or the spa shell may result. Damage caused by 
improper support is not covered under warranty. It is the responsibility 
of the spa owner to assure the integrity of the support at all times. 
We recommend a poured, reinforced concrete slab with a minimum 
thickness of 4 inches (10 cm). Wood decking is also acceptable 
provided it is constructed so that it meets the requirements outlined 
above.
warnInG:
  For spas that are to rest on balconies, 
roofs or other platforms not specifically tied into main 
structural support, consult a professional structural 
engineer with experience in this type of application.
!
The spa must be installed in such a manner as to provide drainage away 
from it. Placing the spa in a depression without provisions for proper 
drainage could allow rain, overflow and other casual water to flood the 
equipment and create a wet condition in which it would sit in. For spas 
which will be recessed into a floor or deck, install so as to permit access 
to the equipment, either from above or below, for servicing. Make certain 
that there are no obstructions which would prevent removal of all side 
cabinet side panels and access to the jet components, especially on the 
side with the equipment bay.
 
CauTIon:
 If the spa is indoors or located in an enclosed area, 
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. This can cause 
health risk. Over time, this can damage certain surfaces, 
surroundings, and equipment.
