Dimension One Spas and @ Home Hot Tubs
Export Planning Guide and Installation Manual
Pre-Purchase Decisions
Before Delivery
Before attempting to install or use your
hot tub, please read these instructions
thoroughly, and carefully view the
video owner’s manual for your
Dimension One hot tub!
Because your hot tub is
completely self-contained, you
can install it just about
anywhere you wish . . . on a
deck, patio or even indoors.
Just be sure to position it
above ground, in an area with
good drainage and on a level
surface that fully contacts the
bottom of the hot tub.
Typical Installation Site
A concrete slab is best but not
required. You may choose to install it on a
wood deck or bricks. If you choose to install your hot tub on a raised deck or indoors, we suggest you
contact a structural engineer to confirm the surface will hold a hot tub filled with water. Settlement of your
deck or slab may result in damage to the hot tub, which is not covered by warranty. (See specifications in this
booklet.) Wherever you plan to install your hot tub, be sure the surface is flat and solid. Locate your hot tub
so that the equipment is above grade and not subject to flooding. Water should always drain away from the
hot tub. If you are placing your hot tub next to an obstacle, such as a fence or wall, be sure that you place the
hot tub with the topside primary control panel facing forward for easy equipment access. Locate the vents on
the drawing of your particular Dimension One hot tub. This is where cool air will enter and warm air will
escape during hot tub operation. Please ensure that these areas are always free of obstructions. Also, allow
additional space around the hot tub for any accessories you may have purchased - for example an E-Z Lifter
®
spa cover lift, steps, or a gazebo. Check with your dealer on these additional space requirements.
Note
In most cities and counties, permits are required for the installation of electrical circuits or
the construction of exterior structures such as decks and gazebos. Some communities have
also adopted residential barrier codes that may require fencing and/or self-closing gates on
the property to prevent unsupervised access to a hot tub by young children.
Note
If you install the spa or hot tub indoors, the surrounding area should be waterproof or
water resistant. Water may be splashed out during normal usage and when entering or
exiting the spa. Dimension One Spas is not responsible for any water damage to any indoor
location for any reason.
Dimension One and @Home hot tubs are equipped with a locking cover that meets or exceeds the “Standard
for Safety Covers,” but is not an adequate safety measure to prevent unsupervised entry. Please check with
your local Building Permit Office that can inform you on any special requirements needed for installation of
your electrical, decking or required barriers. Your local dealer may also provide you with information on local
building and electrical codes.
