There are many factors to consider when choosing a location to set up the hydrotherapy spa. These factors vary
depending on whether you plan to use the spa inside or outside. We have listed several factors you may wish to
consider as you decide where to set up the spa.
If you set up the hydrotherapy spa inside:
1. The spa will increase the level of humidity in your
home. The location you choose should be well
ventilated. You may need to install a ventilation fan
or use a dehumidifier.
2. The spa should be located near a power source
capable of supplying 240 volts AC power. It must
be wired directly into a 40 amp, Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)-protected circuit breaker.
No other appliance should be on the same circuit.
3. The spa should be close to a source of water.
4. Do not use the spa on carpet or other material that
may be damaged by moisture. We recommend
that you place the spa on a water- and stain-resis-
tant, non-slip surface with a floor drain for any
water that may splash from the spa.
5. Be sure that the location you choose is stable. It
must be able to support the weight of the spa
when it is filled with water, plus the weight of the
occupants. The spa weighs approximately 3,300
pounds when it is filled with water.
6. Do not use the spa above a finished living area,
due to the risk of water damage.
7. Be sure that there is room around the spa to per-
mit servicing of the unit. The dimensions of the spa
are 84” W x 84” L x 39” H. You should allow for this
size when choosing the location.
8. The spa is not designed for in-floor installation.
However, it is compatible with a deck system that
is built flush with the top of the spa, provided you
leave access to the motor for service.
9. Be sure to note any other considerations, such as
aesthetics or privacy concerns, that may affect the
safety or enjoyment of using the spa.
If you set up the hydrotherapy spa outside:
1. Check local building codes concerning the use of
outdoor spas.
2. The spa should be located near a power source
capable of supplying 240 volts AC power. It must
be wired directly into a 40 amp, Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)-protected circuit breaker.
No other appliance should be on the same circuit.
3. The spa should be close to a source of water.
4. We recommend that you place the spa on a water-
and stain-resistant, non-slip surface. Do not use
the spa on rough or sharp surfaces such as gravel
or wood chips.
5. Be sure that the location you choose is stable. It
must be able to support the weight of the spa
when it is filled with water, plus the weight of the
occupants. The spa weighs approximately 3,300
pounds when it is filled with water.
6. Consider environmental factors such as rain, wind,
shade, and sunlight.
7. You should be able to monitor the use of the spa
from your home, to prevent unauthorized use by
children. You may want to enclose the spa with a
fence and self-latching gate to prevent unautho-
rized use.
8. Be sure that there is room around the spa to per-
mit servicing of the unit. The dimensions of the spa
are 84” W x 84” L x 39” H. You should allow for this
size when choosing the location.
9. The spa is not designed to be installed below
ground level. However, it is compatible with a deck
system that is built flush with the top of the spa,
provided you leave access to the motor for ser-
vice.
10.Be sure to note any other considerations, such as
aesthetics or privacy concerns, that may affect the
safety or enjoyment of using the spa.
