J-200

4.0  Choosing a location

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, flat, 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.

warnInG:

  For spas that are to rest on balconies, 

roofs or other platforms not specifically tied into main 

structural support, consult a professional structural 

engineer with experience in this type of application.

!

The spa must be installed in such a manner as to provide drainage away 

from it. Placing the spa in a depression without provisions for proper 

drainage could allow rain, overflow and other casual water to flood the 

equipment and create a wet condition in which it would sit in. For spas 

which will be recessed into a floor or deck, install so as to permit access 

to the equipment, either from above or below, for servicing. Make certain 

that there are no obstructions which would prevent removal of all side 

cabinet side panels and access to the jet components, especially on the 

side with the equipment bay.

  CauTIon:

 If the spa is indoors or located in an enclosed area, 

proper ventilation should be discussed with an Engineer or authority 

competent enough to understand the necessary provisions needed 

to vent moist or heated air and air associated with chemical odors 

outdoors. 

when the spa is in use considerable amounts of 

moisture will escape potentially causing mold and mildew. This 

can cause health risk. Over time, this can damage certain surfaces, 

surroundings, and equipment.
