| Q: |
|
Where is the best outdoor location for a spa?
|
|
|
|
| A: |
|
There are many things to consider prior to locating your spa. The following list covers some of the more common factors involved in choosing the ideal location.
Outdoor Considerations:
- Local fencing and enclosure codes.
- Local electrical and plumbing codes.
- The view from your house.
- Your ability to supervise the spa.
- Wind direction and exposure to sunlight.
- Location relative to trees (falling leaves and shade).
- Dressing and bathroom location.
- Storage area for maintenance equipment and chemicals (storing chemicals inside your spa cabinet will void the warranty).
- Landscaping and evening lighting.
- Spa must be placed on a flat, level surface.
- Water is heavy (approximately 8 lbs. per gallon). If a spa is placed on flooring or decking, be sure the structure is strong enough to support the added weight.

There are many things to consider prior to locating your spa. The following list covers some of the more common factors involved in choosing the ideal location.
Indoor Considerations:
- Walls, ceiling, flooring, and woodwork must be able to withstand high humidity.
- You may need cross-ventilation fans or oversized dehumidifiers (or both) to remove excess humidity.
- Spa chemicals in the air may corrode certain metals in your home.
- Floor drains are needed to carry off water splashed from the spa.
- Recessed spas must be positioned to permit servicing from above or below floor.
- Water is heavy (approximately 8 lbs. per gallon). Be sure the flooring or decking is strong enough to support the added weight.
- We recommend against a second story location above finished living space to minimize the risk of water damage inherent with spa use.
