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, at, 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.
