Cal Flame Ultimate Fitness Hot Tub - Manual (Page 20)

Getting Ready for the Experience of a Lifetime
Your Cal Spas fitness spa will offer you and your family years of enjoyment once you take the time to properly prepare
your Home Resort location prior to delivery. We strongly recommend that you have a qualified, licensed contractor
perform the installation of your fitness spa.
Planning Your Spa Atmosphere
How you will use your spa will determine where and how it should be positioned. Spas meant for exercise, family time
or hot tub parties should have a wide clearance on all sides for activity. If your spa is meant for relaxation or intimacy,
you may want to create a more private area surrounded by a coordinating Cal Designs gazebo.
Plan for Your Environment
Consider the weather and climate of your region and place your spa accordingly. If you experience inclement weather
conditions like rain, snow or wind, you may want to locate your spa closer to your home so that you have a convenient
area for changing clothes.
Privacy Considerations
When your hot tub is your escape from the world, it’s important to keep your spa experience hidden from prying eyes.
Before you set your spa down, gauge your neighbors’ sight-lines to minimize any invasion of your privacy. also con-
sider your surroundings for every season. leafless trees offer little privacy during fall and winter.
A Spa with a View
Think about which seats in your spa you might use the most and which direction they face. You should make sure they
face something pleasant to look at—like the sunset or a landscaped area of your garden.
Personal Safety
Do not place your spa within 10 feet (3 meters) of overhead power lines. Ensure that the spa is positioned so that ac-
cess to the equipment compartment and all side panels will not be blocked. Be certain that your installation meets all
city and local safety codes and requirements.
A Clean Spa Is a Healthy Spa
Prevent dirt and contaminants from being tracked into you spa by placing a mat or water-filled basin at the spa’s
entrance so bathers can clean their feet before getting in. Keep the path to and from your spa clean so that no one
accidentally brings dirt into your hot tub.
Select Your Site
Cal Spas hot tubs and fitness spas can be installed indoors or outdoors. outdoor installation is more popular and there
are several important considerations before installing your spa indoors. Indoor spa installations typically cost more,
which is one of the reasons why most hot tubs are placed outside. Structural considerations include making sure your
indoor site can accommodate the weight of the hot tub and provide humidity ventilation. additionally, check with your
area’s building department for any indoor spa building codes. Cal Spas offers an alternative to building your spa inside
by enabling you to build your spa outside within a spa enclosure or beneath a villa or gazebo.
