Planning Your Spa
Selecting a Location. In preparation for installing your new Artesian spa, you should ensure that your chosen location meets some minimum guidelines:

1. Place your spa on a surface that is large enough for the entire spa to fit. Consider the space needed to easily access equipment compartments and
     circuit breakers. Remember, all electronics must be kept dry.
2. The spa must be on a solid, level foundation. Recommended: 4 in cement slab that has cured for at least 72 hours. Your warranty will be voided if the
    spa is not properly installed. Structural damage due to an improper foundation is not covered under warranty.
3. To avoid potential water damage to the skirt and frame, your spa should be placed on a site where it will not be in the way of water sprinklers.
4. OUTDOOR SPAS: Consider building codes, electrical and plumbing codes, desired proximity to house, wind and sun exposure, location of trees (falling
    leaves, shade), dressing area, landscaping and lighting when selecting a location.
5. INDOOR SPAS: Floor surface must have traction to prevent slipping when wet. A floor drain is optimum. As room humidity will increase because of the
    spa, provide ample ventilation to prevent dry rot, mildew and mold. Use materials that will withstand humidity. There may be a need for cross-ventilation
    fans and/or dehumidifiers. The spa chemicals may corrode some household metals. Provide ample room if servicing should be needed. Strong
    foundational support is vital, particularly if a second-story site is selected.
6. Ensure the equipment compartment is in a location where it will not be damaged by water drainage. Cover the equipment compartment with a heavy
    screen if rodents are a problem. Damage due to rodents is not covered under warranty.
7. Have the spa deck installed by a knowledgeable contractor to ensure proper support.
8. If the spa is placed on the ground, even for a short period of time, it must be supported by stones that are at least 2 inches thick and 12 inches square.
    A solid foundation is recommended as soon as possible.

Electrical Requirements and Installation
The following information is provided for hooking up electrical supply to your new spa. A qualified, licensed, electrician must perform this work. Failure to follow these instructions will terminate all warranty coverage and can cause serious injury or death.
