Arrangement For Installation - Jacuzzi Lodge Fiche Technique De Pre-Installation

The hot tub can be installed in various ways:
- ( 3) free standing on the floor or on a specifically prepared
base.
- ( 4) Semi-built in, so that only the base of the hot tub is
built-in and therefore the side cover panels remain free. In this
case, it is appropriate to prepare some removable under-frames
(in marine plywood, etc.) that, besides aesthetically completing
installation, allow the panels to be removed more easily. The size
of the built-in space in the floor is obtained from that of the base
of the hot tub ( 1).
NOTE: between the floor embedding and the panels, it is ad-
visable to leave enough manoeuvring space all around the
hot tub in order to remove the panels (detail A).
- ( 5-6) built-in, with the tub edge flush with the floor.
( 6) In this case, a base support must be made under the
bottom of the tub (in concrete and steel beams, (detail 1).
Access to the hosing must be ensured and to all other electro-
mechanical parts that are under the tub, for example by making
a passage along the outer perimeter, that is wide enough (about
80 cm) to carry out all electrical and hydraulic connections and
any maintenance operations (detail 2). This passage can be
closed using removable under-frames (detail 3), with suitable
supports (detail 4).
It is also necessary to make arrangements for draining, in case
of stagnant water (detail 5) and guarantee suitable ventilation.
In any case, you will need to provide a support base that is
suitable for the load of the hot tub as shown in the table of
weights above.
In the case of intermediate flooring, terraces, roofs or
other similar structures, consult a building engineer.
( 1a) The support base must be flat and level in order
to provide uniform support for the weight of the spa.
Otherwise the front panels and/or methacrylate shell
could be damaged: this damage is not covered by the
warranty.
If the hot tub is installed indoors, remember that water evapo-
ration from the hot tub can cause very high levels of humidity,
especially if temperatures are very high. Natural or forced venti-
lation helps to maintain personal comfort and reduce damage
to the building due to humidity.
Jacuzzi Europe refuses all responsibility for any damage caused by
excessive humidity or by overflowing water. Consult a specialist for
indoor installation.

Arrangement for installation

Models with the Performance spa-pak (
The filtering unit (spa-pak) can be placed in any position, but its
maximum distance from the hot tub must not exceed 4 m.
If installation is outdoors (in very cold areas), it is recommended
to provide valves that allow for complete drainage of the pipes
that connect the hot tub to the spa-pak. If necessary, the spa-pak
can be installed on a lowered surface (with respect to the hot
tub) with a maximum height difference of 1m. Greater height
differences may reduce the flow rate of the filtering pump. The
spa-pak must be installed so that it is cannot be accessed by
individuals without using keys, and protected from water and
inclement weather (an adequate ventilation must be provided).
Models with heat exchanger
(
indicated point to provide power for the heat exchanger.
Also connect the primary circuit with the system that supplies
the hot water.
You can use a garden hose to fill the hot tub.
The customer must make provisions for a ground drainage
point of suitable dimensions and that can be inspected for any
cleaning that may be required (
Models with the Performance spa-pak: connection must
also be provided to the drain for periodic backwash and possi-
ble emptying of the sand filter installed on the spa-pak, as well as
electrical and plumbing connection between the spa-pak and the
MaxiJacuzzi® (see the corresponding installation manual).
(
recommended to install a collection pit (P2) below the base of
the hot tub (which will be perforated).As there is a large amount
of water in the hot tub, this is a useful precaution if water acciden-
tally escapes and collects inside the base itself.
NOTES:
- The collection pit will be connected to the main drain pit.
( 7 detail A) For periodic emptying of the hot tub, proceed
9) as follows: connect a hose to the drain valve, first removing the
plug and screw on the fitting with its gasket.
NOTE: if you decide to connect the hot tub permanently to the
ground drainage point, we recommend you install a valve below,
bypassing the valve installed in the factory.

If the hot tub is connected, for periodic filling, to the
mains system that supplies drinking water, this con-
nection must be carried out in compliance with the
EN1717 norm, using "AA", "AB" or "AD" anti-pollution
protection procedures. For further information, we
recommend you contact your water supply company
and/or your plumber.
ATTENTION: (IEC 60335-1) The pressure of the hydraulic
system that supplies the equipment must not exceed 600
kPa (6 bar); if the equipment is provided with one or more
solenoid valves for the water supply, the pressure must
have a minimum value of 35 kPa (0.35 bar).
ATTENTION: Before preparing the ground drainage
point, consult the local authority for the regulations
that control the drainage of chemically treated water.
