| NORDIC HOT TUBS | OWNER’S MANUAL
There are several items to consider before deciding on a
location for your new hot tub. We’ve listed a few of them
below.
1. PERMISSION: your state, province, city, township, or
association may have rules related to access, construction
permits, fences, gates, and delivery methods and routes.
Please check with them to make sure your plans meet
their criteria. Don’t forget to look for power lines if a crane
needs to place the hot tub on a raised location.
2. SUPPORT: It is extremely important the base on which
the hot tub is placed is smooth, level, and can uniformly
support the complete weight without settling or shifting.
If these requirements are not met, possible damage to
your cabinet or tub shell may result. Damage caused by
improper support is not covered under warranty. It is the
responsibility of the hot tub owner to meet these require-
ments and to assure the integrity of the hot tub support at
all times. A level concrete slab or a well-supported wood
deck (built to code) is ideal.
3. DRAINAGE: Don’t forget the water will occasionally need
to be drained. Make sure that you don’t have sensitive
vegetation or erosion concerns. A regular garden hose
can be attached to the drain tting so the old water can
be directed to an appropriate area. A small submersible
pump can also be used. Also, make sure rain water and
snow melt is directed away from the base of your new hot
tub. External water damage from ooding may damage
the electronics and pump which will void your warranty.
4. ACCESS: if you have decided to drop your new hot tub
into a deck (which looks great and makes it easy to get
in and out of), you will eventually need to remove the
service panel (on the same side as the topside control) to
access the drain or the equipment pack. You can provide
access via a lift-out section of the deck or position the
access panel at an outside edge of your deck. Check with
your builder for additional ideas they may have.
5. THE PATH: a nice clean path is best so sand, mud, and
grass clippings aren’t tracked into your new hot tub.
Tracked-in dirt makes keeping the water sparkling clean
and properly balanced a challenge.
6. THE VIEW: take things like the intended use and number
of users into consideration. If it is intended for relaxation
or a quiet night for 2, then a cozy corner with the view of
a lake or mountain, etc. would be great. Don’t forget to
take the view of your neighbors into consideration as well.
If it will be used for play time for the kids and their friends,
make sure to leave plenty of room around it for climbing
in and out and access to toys.
7. THE WEATHER: if you live in a Northern region like we
do, it is a great idea to place the hot tub close to a door-
way to reduce your time in the cold and snow.
NOTE: Please keep your hot tub covered whenever it is not
being used- especially when it is empty. The shell surface
can be damaged if it is left dry and exposed to direct sun-
light.
