Preparing for Your New Portable Spa

Most cities and counties require permits for exterior construction and electrical circuits. In addition, some
communities have codes requiring residential barriers such as fencing and/or self-closing gates on property to
prevent unsupervised access to the property by children. Your dealer can provide information on which permits
may be required and how to obtain them prior to the delivery of your Cal Spa™.

Planning the Best Location

Here are some of the things that you will need to
consider when determining where to place your new
spa.

Safety First

Do not place your spa within 3 meters of overhead
power lines.
Consider How You Will Use Your Spa
How you intend to use your spa will help you determine
where you should position it. For example, will you use
your spa for recreational or therapeutic purposes? If
your spa is mainly used for family recreation, be sure
to leave plenty of room around it for activity. If you will
use it for relaxation and therapy, you'll probably want
to create a specific mood around it.
Plan for Your Environment
If you live in a region where it snows in the winter or
rains frequently, place the spa near a house entry. By
doing this, you will have a place to change clothes and
not be uncomfortable.
Consider Your Privacy
In a cold-weather climate, bare trees won't provide
much privacy. Think of your spa's surroundings during
all seasons to determine your best privacy options.
Consider the view of your neighbors as well when you
plan the location of your spa.
Provide A View With Your Spa
Think about the direction you will be facing when
sitting in your spa. Do you have a special landscaped
area in your yard that you find enjoyable? Perhaps
there is an area that catches a soothing breeze during
the day or a lovely sunset in the evening.
Keep Your Spa Clean
In planning your spa's location, consider a location
where the path to and from the house can be kept
clean and free of debris.
Prevent dirt and contaminants from being tracked into
your spa by placing a foot mat at the spa's entrance

where the bather's can clean their feet before entering
your spa. You may also consider keeping a small water-
filled basin nearby for bathers to rinse their feet before
enter your spa.
Allow For Service Access
Make sure the spa is positioned so that access to the
equipment compartment and all side panels will not
be blocked.
Many people choose to install a decorative structure
around their spa. 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 moved, or lifted off the ground.

Preparing a Good Foundation

Your spa needs a solid and level foundation. The area
that it sits on must be able to support the weight of the
spa 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
or finish.
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. We strongly recommended
that you have a qualified, licensed contractor prepare
the foundation for your spa.
Place the spa on a level foundation (preferably a 10
cm concrete slab). 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, consult a structural engineer
or a contractor to ensure the structure will support the
weight of 68 kg per square foot.
Your Cal Spas™ retailer can help you with your
foundation and more. Your retailer has a wealth of
information and experience about how to get the most
out of your spa and can provide you with a full line of
accessories that are designed to compliment your spa
and increase your enjoyment.
