These factors vary depending on whether you use the hydrotherapy spa inside or outside. We have listed several factors you may wish to consider as you decide where you want to use the hydrotherapy spa. If you set up the hydrotherapy spa inside: 1. The hydrotherapy spa will increase the level of humidity in your home. The location you choose should be well ventilated. You may need to install a ventilation fan or use a dehumidifier. 2. The location must be close to an electrical outlet. Do not use an extension cord with the hydrotherapy spa. 3. The hydrotherapy spa should be close to a source of water. 4. Do not use the hydrotherapy spa on carpet or other material that may be damaged by moisture. We recommend that you place the hydrotherapy spa on a water- and stain-resistant, non-slip surface with a floor drain for any water that may splash from the hydrotherapy spa. 5. Be sure that the location you choose is stable. It must be able to support the weight of the hydrotherapy spa when it is filled with water, plus the weight of the occupants. The hydrotherapy spa weighs approximately 1800 pounds when filled with water. 6. Do not use the hydrotherapy spa above a finished living area, due to the risk of water damage. 7. Be sure that there is room around the hydrotherapy spa to permit servicing of the unit. The dimensions of the spa are 70OW x 70OL x 29OH. You should allow for this size when choosing the location. 8. The hydrotherapy spa is not designed for in-floor installation. However, it is compatible with a deck system that is built flush with the top of the spa, provided you leave access to the motor for service. 9. Be sure to note any other considerations, such as aesthetics or privacy concerns, that may affect the safety or enjoyment of using the hydrotherapy spa. If you set up the hydrotherapy spa outside: 1. You should check your local building codes concerning the use of outdoor spas. 2. The location must be close to an electrical outlet. Do not use an extension cord with the hydrotherapy spa. 3. The hydrotherapy spa should be close to a source of water. 4. We recommend that you place the hydrotherapy spa on a water- and stain-resistant, non-slip surface. Do not use the hydrotherapy spa on rough or sharp surfaces such as gravel or wood chips. 5. Be sure that the location you choose is stable. It must be able to support the weight of the hydrotherapy spa when it is filled with water, plus the weight of the occupants. The hydrotherapy spa weighs approximately 1800 pounds when filled with water. 6. Think about environmental factors, such as rain, wind, shade, sunlight etc. 7. You should be able to monitor the use of the hydrotherapy spa from your home, to prevent unauthorized use by children. You may want to enclose the spa with a fence and self-latching gate to prevent unauthorized use. 8. Be sure that there is room around the hydrotherapy spa to permit servicing of the unit. The dimensions of the spa are 70OW x 70OL x 29OH. You should allow for this size when choosing the location. 9. The hydrotherapy spa is not designed to be installed below ground level.
