INSTALLATION

Outdoor Installation

If you install the spa outdoors, we recommend that

you provide a concrete pad for it to rest on. To do this,
construct forms for a 4" thick level pad. Install a #10
gauge wire mesh 6" x 6" steel reinforced grid. Attach a
#8 solid copper wire to the grid with a ground clamp. This
wire should be long enough to reach the bond bar on the
spa electrical cabinet (minimum 36"), but should not be
located under the base of the spa. Then pour the
concrete pad.

Indoor Installation

Water that splashes on the floor during spa use may

cause a walking hazard and/or structural damage. Good
drainage must be provided and proper waterproof build-
ing materials must be used in the area surrounding and
beneath the spa. Take into consideration that high room
humidity will exist due to high spa water temperatures.
Providing natural or forced ventilation of the room will
help maintain comfort and minimize moisture damage to
the building. Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath is not responsible
for damages resulting from excess moisture or water
spillage. Consult an architect or engineer for aid in
designing your indoor installation.

Drainage

Whether you install your spa indoors or outdoors, you can drain it completely by attaching a garden hose to the

hose bibb located on the suction plumbing of the spa. Simply run the hose to the house sewer line or drain field and
open the hose bibb.

Make sure the area surrounding the spa has good drainage to keep water from collecting at the base of the spa—

especially near the equipment area. If drainage is poor, install a drain line and/or gravel drain field. (Refer to illustration
below.)
