LOCATION AND INSTALLATION
Your Shoreline Hot Tub™ has been conveniently designed for use in either an indoor or outdoor setting. While selecting an
appropriate location for your hot tub, there are important things to consider .
Indoor Use Only
• Humidity will not likely be a problem. However, just like in your bathroom, an exhaust fan would be a good idea.
• No matter how careful you are, you will splash water, especially when exiting the hot tub. We suggest a tile or vinyl floor.
• A self-draining floor is a great way to ease any worries about spilled water.
• Remember that you'll need extra space to store the cover when it is removed. When using our handy cover-lift device, you
should allow for an extra 16" of clearance behind the hot tub.
• The hot tub must be placed on a flat and level surface that does not move or shake.
• You should consult with a builder or engineer to determine if your floor will support the hot tub weight. Remember, you must
allow for the hot tub, water and people in your total weight calculations.
• Be sure your hot tub is secure from access to young children. Shoreline Hot Tubs™ offers a locking hot tub cover, but we also
suggest keeping the hot tub room locked and off limits to children.
Outdoor Use Only
• Place your hot tub on a solid, flat surface. We recommend a 4" thick reinforced concrete pad as the best surface.
• Keep in mind natural elements such as wind, view, falling leaves, etc.
• We recommend that you locate your hot tub in a locked, fenced-in area to prevent access to the hot tub by children.
• It is a good idea to have a contractor review your proposed site to ensure that there are no support problems.
Indoor or Outdoor Use
• When installing the hot tub, provide for adequate drainage to prevent water from entering the equipment module area.
• When installing the hot tub, enable access to the equipment module compartment that is located behind the door opening.
• Never locate light switches or other electrical components within reach from inside your hot tub. The equipment module must
remain protected by the skirting of the hot tub.
Wherever you locate your hot tub, you will need to have access to water in order to fill it. Any water spigot or faucet will work. Also,
you will need to be able to drain your hot tub periodically. Since your hot tub water will likely have chemicals in it, you won't want to
drain your hot tub on the lawn or into a garden. Be sure you can reach a garden hose from the hot tub to where you plan to drain the
water. Never let water get on the equipment module that is located in the door opening of your hot tub. Finally, we suggest that you
consult an electrician prior to installation to be sure of power availability and cost.
