Description of Spa / Exercise Spa
NOTE. Exercise/Swim Spa will be referred to as Spa in this manual. Spas and Exercise Spas are
very similar as defined in ANSI/APSP Standards, and the ICC International Swimming Pool and
Spa Code.
The Michael Phelps Signature Swim Spa is a high grade acrylic aquatic vessel with an underly-
ing fiberglass reinforced shell, self contained frame, therapy jets and patented propulsion swim
system. This spa may be installed completely in ground, partially in ground, or above ground
level. The associated mechanical and electrical components are typically installed in a separate
equipment room or in a lower level mechanical room below the floor surface.
Since code and regulation requirements vary between states and local agencies, permits
and compliance with varying health, electrical, plumbing, building, and safety, agencies
is solely the responsibility of the owner. It is imperative that the owner or the design
representative consult with all local and state regulatory agencies that have jurisdiction
over installation of factory built commercial spas. Should any of these codes require that
installation vary from the recommendations in this guide, contact Master Spas Inc. for
assistance.
