| Softubs are completely self contained and portable. They can be set up on a patio, deck or indoors.
A. Structure The Softub spa should always be placed on a structurally strong, relatively smooth and level surface. See Softubs for loading weights and dimensions of your Softub model.
B. Drainage Do not place the motor unit in an area prone to puddling.
C. Electrical Always allow easy access to the GFCI which is located on the end of the power cord. The 110 volt GFCI, and the outlet it is plugged into, should be protected from extreme weather, landscape sprinklers, and accidental spills.
A pressure wire connector is provided in the underside of the motor unit to permit connection of a minimum No. 8 AWG solid copper bonding conductor between this point and any metal equipment, metal enclosures or electrical equipment, metal water pipe or conduit, within 5 feet of the unit as needed to comply with local requirements.
Your Softub spa has been carefully engineered to provide maximum safety against electrical shock. Installation must be within 10 feet of a three wire grounded outlet with an isolated power supply of 15 amps (110-120 volts). The outlet should be a minimum of 5 feet from the spa. Connecting the spa to an improperly wired circuit, or using an extension cord, may cause damage to the motor unit that is not covered under warranty.
D. Location Choose a location that is not susceptible to infestation. This will help prevent against ants, termites or any other type of burrowing insect as well as rodents from inhabiting the foam. Such an occurrence may cause damage to your softub and is not covered under warranty.
Outdoor Installation Notes You may place the Softub spa on any smooth surface such as tile, concrete, wood, brick, and sand. Verify no sharp objects are under the tub prior to set up. It is suggested you do not place your Softub in an area where excess dirt, sand, and debris may get tracked into or fall into the tub. Check your local codes for access restrictions such as enclosures and child proof barriers.
Indoor installation Notes Water splashing on the floor may cause a walking hazard and/or structural damage unless good drainage is provided. The use of a catch basin capable of holding the tub's capacity is recommended as a safe guard in the event of a major spill. Proper attention must be paid to the structural integrity of the area surrounding and beneath the Softub. The increased room humidity and temperature is another area of consideration. Providing natural or forced ventilation in the room will help maintain comfort and minimize moisture damage to the surrounding environment. Always keep the protective cover on when not in use to help alleviate moisture issues.
