LOCATION AND INSTALLATION

Your Great Lakes Spa has been conveniently designed for use in either an indoor or outdoor setting. While selecting an appropriate

location for your spa, there are important things to consider.

Indoor Use Only

• Humidity will not likely be a problem. However, just like in your bathroom, an exhaust fan would be a good idea.

• No matter how careful you are, you will splash water, especially when exiting the spa. We suggest a tile or vinyl floor.

• A self-draining floor is a great way to ease any worries about spilled water.

• Remember that you'll need extra space to store the cover when it is removed. When using our handy cover-lift device, you

should allow for an extra 16" of clearance behind the spa.

• The spa must be placed on a flat and level surface that does not move or shake.

• You should consult with a builder or engineer to determine if your floor will support the spa weight. Remember, you must allow

for the spa, water and people in your total weight calculations.

• Be sure your spa is secure from access to young children. Great Lakes Spas offers a locking spa cover, but we also suggest

keeping the spa room locked and off limits to children.

Outdoor Use Only

• Place your spa on a solid, flat surface. We recommend a 4" thick reinforced concrete pad as the best surface.

• Keep in mind natural elements such as wind, view, falling leaves, etc.

• We recommend that you locate your spa in a locked fenced-in area to prevent access to the spa by children.

• It is a good idea to have a contractor review your proposed site to see that there are no support problems.

Indoor or Outdoor Use

• When installing the spa, provide for adequate drainage to prevent water from entering the equipment module area.

• When installing the spa, enable access to the equipment compartment.

• Never locate light switches or other electrical components within reach from inside your spa. The equipment module must remain

protected by the skirting of the spa.

Wherever you locate your spa, you will need to have access to water in order to fill it. Any water spigot or faucet will work. Also, you

will need to be able to drain your spa periodically. Since your spa water will likely have chemicals in it, you won't want to drain your

spa on the lawn or into a garden. Be sure you can reach a garden hose from the spa to where you plan to drain the water. Never let

water get on the equipment module that is located in the door opening of your spa. Finally, we suggest that you consult an electrician

prior to installation to be sure of power availability and cost.
