damage to the synthec skirt.
When possible, do not shim the swim spa. To ensure proper support the swim spa must
sit flat on the intended foundaon.
4.2 Indoor Locaon
For indoor installaons many factors need to be considered before installing a spa indoors.
WARNING: In addion to maintenance of filters and water chemistry, proper ven-
laon is recommended to reduce the risk of contracng waterborne illness (e.g. an
infecon, bacteria or virus) and/or respiratory ailments that could be present in the
air or water. Consult a licensed architect or building contractor to determine your specific
needs if installing your swim spa indoors.
Proper Foundaon: Consult a Structural Engineer when considering a foundaon that
will adequately support the swim spa the enre me it is in place. Proper support is
crical especially if the spa is to rest on a second story or higher. For swim spas that are
to rest on roofs or other plaorms not specifically ed into the main structural support,
you should consult a professional Structural Engineer with experience in this type of ap-
plicaon.
Proper Drainage: It is extremely important to have in place measures to sufficiently
handle excessive water spillage. Be sure the flooring in which the swim spa rests on has
adequate drainage and can handle the enre contents of the swim spa. Be sure to make
provisions for ceilings and other structures that may be below the swim spas installaon.
Areas around your swim spa can become wet or moist so all flooring and subsequent fur-
niture, walls and adjacent structures should be able to withstand or resist water and
moisture.
Proper Venlaon: Proper venlaon should be discussed with an Engineer or authori-
ty competent enough to understand the necessary provisions needed to vent moist or
heated air and air associated with chemical odors outdoors. When the swim spa is in
use considerable amounts of moisture will escape, potenally causing mold and mildew
over me, which can damage certain surfaces and/or surroundings.
Sufficient Access: In the likely event that you should ever need to access or gain entry to
any poron of the swim spa for servicing, it is highly recommended that you plan your
indoor installaon to provide full access to the enre swim spa.
