Bullfrog Spas Owner’s Manual
SELECTING A SITE FOR YOUR SPA:
Your Bullfrog Spa was designed for either indoor or
outdoor use. Whether indoors or outdoors, please
adhere to the following guidelines:
1. Select a site that is stable and capable of supporting
the weight of your spa, its water, and the people using
it (refer to the “Model Brochure” or contact an
authorized Bullfrog Spa Dealer for the Filled Weight of
your spa). If installed on a suspended floor/deck, the
floor/deck should be capable of supporting your spa. If
you have concerns on this matter, please contact a
qualified Licensed Contractor.
2. Select a surface that is flat and reasonably level. This
surface must provide continuous support for the entire
bottom of the spa. Do not shim or block up the spa
creating voids below the spa.
3. Avoid installing the spa in a pit or low area where
water may accumulate and damage the spa or its
equipment. Choose a site where water will drain away
from the spa and not towards it.
4. Important: With all installations, the spa must be
located at least 5 feet from all electrical outlets,
switches, and other permanently installed electrical
devices.
Indoor Considerations: There are several
considerations when installing your spa indoors: First,
the environment both around and below the spa should
be water resistant. It must be capable of handling
water splashed out from the spa as well as the
possibility of a leak from the spa (Your Bullfrog portable
spa is the most leak-free spa in the industry, but there
is still the possibility of a leak from the spa. A catch
basin equivalent to the volume of your spa is
recommended); Second, it is recommended that the
room you install the spa in has proper ventilation.
Proper ventilation can usually be achieved by an
exhaust fan or an open window.
Note: Typical indoor surfaces include, but are not
limited to: concrete, wood, non-slip tile, or linoleum.
Outdoor Considerations: When selecting an outdoor
site, several things should be considered: First, Avoid
selecting a site where excessive water may contact the
spa, such as from sprinklers or a roof edge without rain
gutters; Second, and if possible, avoid areas of direct,
prolonged sunlight. The ultraviolet rays of sunlight will
tend to fade and damage your spa cover and cabinet;
Third, Check your local codes on possible restrictions
that require fencing or childproof gates around your
spa; Last, avoid locating your spa in an area where
debris will be tracked into the spa.
Note: Typical outdoor surfaces include, but are not
limited to: concrete, brick, non-slip tile, wood-decking,
peagravel or sand.
