J-200 Series4.0 Choosing a locationImporTanT: Because of the combined weight of the spa, water andusers, it is extremely important that the base upon which the spa restsbe smooth, flat, level and capable of uniformly supporting this weight,without shifting or settling, for the entire time the spa is in place. If thespa is placed on a surface which does not meet these requirements,damage to the skirt and/or the spa shell may result. Damage caused byimproper support is not covered under warranty. It is the responsibilityof the spa owner to assure the integrity of the support at all times.We recommend a poured, reinforced concrete slab with a minimumthickness of 4 inches (10 cm). Wood decking is also acceptableprovided it is constructed so that it meets the requirements outlinedabove.warnInG: For spas that are to rest on balconies,roofs or other platforms not specifically tied into mainstructural support, consult a professional structuralengineer with experience in this type of application.!The spa must be installed in such a manner as to provide drainage awayfrom it. Placing the spa in a depression without provisions for properdrainage could allow rain, overflow and other casual water to flood theequipment and create a wet condition in which it would sit in. For spaswhich will be recessed into a floor or deck, install so as to permit accessto the equipment, either from above or below, for servicing. Make certainthat there are no obstructions which would prevent removal of all sidecabinet side panels and access to the jet components, especially on theside with the equipment bay.CauTIon: If the spa is indoors or located in an enclosed area,proper ventilation should be discussed with an Engineer or authoritycompetent enough to understand the necessary provisions neededto vent moist or heated air and air associated with chemical odorsoutdoors. When the spa is in use considerable amounts of moisturewill escape potentially causing mold and mildew. This can causehealth risk. Over time, this can damage certain surfaces,surroundings, and equipment.!9
