If you are installing your spa with any type of structure on the outside, such as a gazebo, remember to allow access for service. It is always best to design special installations so that the spa can still be accessed. Outdoor equipment pack (in-ground spas only) The Designer Spa series requires an external equipment pack. When locating the outdoor equipment pack, you will want to consider the following: The equipment pack must be located within a maximum of 15 feet • from the spa. Ensure the equipment running its normal filtration cycles does not • make too much noise for spa owners and/or neighbors. Ensure the equipment can be easily serviced for filter cleaning and • periodic inspections in the location chosen. If you are using a gas heater, you will need to consider wind and drafts • as well as heater exhaust for proper heater placement. (See heater owner’s manual for important location and safety information.) The equipment base and heater must be placed on either a 3 1/2” • cement slab or 3” paving stones. Make sure the equipment area selected will not be in an area where • water could run or stand. If the area receives direct sunlight, you will want to provide some pro• tection for the equipment portion of the equipment pack. The equipment pack and heater are delivered separately. Do not cover gas heaters unless properly vented. (See heater owner’s manual for important safety information.) Portable Spa Site Preparation Your spa needs a solid and level foundation. The area that it sits on must be able to support the weight of the spa, with water and the occupants who use it. If the foundation is inadequate, it may shift or settle after the spa is in place, causing stress that could DAMAGE YOUR SPA SHELL AND FINISH. Note: Damage caused by inadequate or improper foundation support is not covered by the warranty. It is the responsibility of the spa owner to provide a proper foundation for the spa. Place the spa on an elevated foundation (preferably a 3” - 4” concrete slab). Pavers, gravel, brick, sand, timbers or dirt foundations are not adequate to support the spa. If you are installing the spa indoors, pay close attention to the flooring beneath it. Choose flooring that will not be damaged or stained. If you are installing your spa on an elevated wood deck or other structure, it is highly recommended that you consult a structural engineer or contractor to ensure the structure will support the weight of 150 pounds per square foot. To properly identify the weight of your new spa when full, remember water weighs 8.33 lbs. per gallon. For example, an average 8’ spa spa holds approximately 500 gallons of water. Using this formula, you will find that the weight of the water alone is 4,165 lbs. Combined with the dry weight of the spa you will note that this spa will weigh approximately 5,000 lbs. when full of water. Note: It is strongly recommended that a qualified, licensed contractor prepare the foundation for your spa. Your Cal Spas retailer can help you with your foundation and more.

In-Ground Spa Site Preparation Ensure there is enough room for the spa and equipment.• The equipment pack must be located within a maximum of 15 feet • from the spa. Plan for proper electrical and gas service to both the equipment area • and spa side. Ensure the required flat, level foundation can be constructed in the • area chosen. The spa must be properly back-filled with wet sand, underneath and • on all four sides. The final architecture must include permanent ground coverage within • a 10 feet radius of the spa. Never place any spa in a sealed area. Water must be able either to be • absorbed into the surrounding area or channeled away. Water build- up under and/or around the spa, will cause the spa to float out of the ground. Grading Prior to Excavation Selection of the Designer Spas site will determine how much grading will have to be accomplished prior to the actual dig for the spa. Naturally, a level area is best because it will require the least amount of preparation for the dig, but in many cases there is no level area, therefore, the site must be prepared to accept the Spa prior to dig. The spa site should be elevated slightly higher than the surrounding area When dealing with slopes, the severity of the slope will determine if retaining walls must be built in order to have a level area for the spa. If the slope is relatively minor, contact your local building safety. Site Excavation – Hard Bottom For hard bottom placement for in-ground spas, you will need a smooth and flat concrete surface at least 4” thick as large as the bottom contact points. Be sure not to seal the bottom off and making a sealed box. You will need adequate water drainage for escape under the spa. A gravel beds around the conc...
