TYPICAL WORK INVOLVED FOR INSTALLATION OF MASTER SPAS SPA
18
POSSIBLE AREAS OF CONCERN CHECK LIST
Requirements dealing with setbacks not followed causing problems accessing equipment for
service and inspection or failures of specific components due to poor design layout.
Poor air circulation around spa equipment due to inadequate estimation of heat loads.
All applicable local and state codes must be considered during the early design stages. Failure
to do so will many times result in last minute changes that will hold up the final occupancy
permits and cause work order changes.
Installation parameters must be clearly defined in bid orders to ensure that changed work
orders do not cause delays and add excessive costs to the project.
An overall access plan that will be used throughout the construction project should be in place
before beginning. Responsibility for this plan rests with the architect/general contractor. As
work will have to be done by several contractors at varying times the importance of this plan is
paramount. Considerations for covering the acrylic spa shell, provisions for sealing areas open
to adverse weather, etc. must be taken.
Should the spa be installed in an existing building care must be taken to consider all of the
factors involved during the design and bid stage. Potential problem areas can be, existing
plumbing and electrical wiring, heating and air-conditioning runs, structural barriers, etc. Care
must be taken to insure that all of the afore mentioned are addressed when planning for the
delivery and moving the spa to its final location.
