INSTALLATION
Indoor Installations
Water which splashes on the floor during use of the
spa may cause a walking hazard and/or structural dam-
age unless good drainage is provided and proper
waterproof building materials are used in the area sur-
rounding and beneath the spa. Take into consideration,
also, the high room humidity which 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 Whirl-
pool 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.
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 8' x 8' x 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 (min. 36"), but should not be
located under the base of the spa. Then pour the
concrete pad.
Drainage
Whether you install your spa indoors or outdoors,
you can drain it almost completely by attaching a garden
hose to the drain valve located on the suction tee of the
spa. Simply run the hose to the house sewer line or drain
field and open the drain valve.
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 (see
illustration below)
