In most cities and counties, permits will be required for the installation of electrical circuits or the construction of exterior

surfaces (decks and gazebos). In addition, some communities have adopted residential barrier codes which may require

fencing and/or self-closing gates on the property to prevent unsupervised access to a pool (or spa) by children under 5

years of age. Your spa is equipped with a locking cover that meets the ASTM F1346-91 Standard for Safety Covers and as

a result, is usually exempt from most barrier requirements. As a general practice, your local Building Department will

inform you of any applicable barrier requirements at the time a permit is obtained for the installation of an electrical

circuit. Your dealer can provide information on which permits may be required.

Pre-Delivery Instructions SITE SELECTION AND PREPARATION IMPORTANT: Site selection and preparation are your responsibility. Carefully read these instructions and consult your authorized dealer if you have any questions. You probably have a spot picked out for your new spa, whether it’s indoors or outdoors, on a patio or on a deck. Just make sure you check the following: • Always put your spa on a structurally sound, level surface. A filled spa can weigh a great deal.

GROUND AND SPA LEVELING PREPARATION Your spa has been engineered to perform on several types of common yard surfaces. While a concrete slab is best for long-term use*, other foundations are acceptable so long as a level base is prepared prior to delivery. Three foundation base pictures, shown at right, represent examples of alternatives to a concrete slab for spas installed without gazebos or other accessories.

Pre-Delivery Instructions NOTE: It may be necessary to allow for additional over-head clearance if the spa will be rolled up or down an incline or moved up or down a short flight of stairs. Use the information below to determine the requirements for access to your desired location. It may be necessary to remove a gate, part of a fence, or other movable obstructions in order to roll the spa to its installation site.

Pre-Delivery Instructions ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS SELECTING THE VOLTAGE FOR YOUR SPA The C-Series models require a 230 volt power supply. When the spas are connected to 230 volts, the heater will provide approximately 4000 watts of heat whether the pump is operating in LOW or HIGH speed and the thermostat is calling for heat.
PAGE 7
230 VOLT INSTALLATION Your spa contains a control box designed to operate at 230V, 60Hz. Installation of a 30 or 50 amp dedicated circuit is required. The control box must be hard wired directly to a subpanel protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). The subpanel containing the GFCI breaker is included with the spa.
