BUILDING WORK REQUIRED PRIOR TO THE DELIVERY OF YOUR SPA:

  • Base
    You will need to arrange a four inch concrete base or concrete slabs, level and flat, the same size as the spa. Your spa cannot be placed on grass as it will sink and may damage the lawn and/or spa.

  • Electrical Supply
    There must be an appropriate electrical supply (13, 20 or 30 amps depending on which model, see below). This must be wired through an R.C.D (or circuit breaker) at least 2 meters away from the spa. Any buried or exposed cable must be armoured and should terminate beside the site of the spa with a 4m tail. We strongly recommend a waterproof isolator switch positioned within a few meters of the spa.

    We recommend that all electrical work be carried out by a qualified electrician, and we would be happy to give further advice to your electrician if necessary.

    2000 AND 3000 SERIES 13 AMPS STD
    4000 SERIES 20 AMPS STD
    GRAND CANYON DELUXE 30 AMPS STD
    SPA FM 30 AMPS STD

  • Water
    There must be a water supply within reach of the spa - usually this is a hosepipe. A hosepipe can also be used for emptying the spa, by way of a connection situated inside the cabinet.

  • Delivery
    The spa will be delivered either on a trailer or a flat bed vehicle measuring up to 7m long, 2.1m wide and 2.4m high. Please ensure there is adequate access for such a vehicle to reach your driveway/house.

    The spa may be sited using a trolley. The spa will be mounted sideways on to the trolley, so the depth of the spa will become the width. The trolley is not suitable for manoeuvring the Grand Canyon or Spa FM- we will discuss individually delivery of these models. If you have ordered a spa other than the Grand Canyon of Spa FM, but feel the spa trolley will not be adequate for siting your spa, then please ring us so that we can discuss your individual requirements.

  • Access
    Please make a careful note of the spa measurements and check that we will have enough room to site the spa. You should also add a small amount for the spa trolley and packaging.

  • Please take the following points into consideration:-
    1. Are doors, gates or alleyways large enough?
    2. Does the spa have to be taken over lawn or gravel? If so, make sure boards are put down for protection and to assist delivery if necessary.
    3. Have you taken into account obstructions such as drainpipes, shelves, guttering, taps etc? Make sure these are removed prior to delivery if necessary.
    4. Is there enough room for turning the spa in tight corners to get it into position?
    5. Is there enough room to access the spa, once it is in position? We recommend that there is access to all four sides, however, it is particularly important that there is access to the side containing the control pad.
    6. Are there any steep slopes or walls? We can manage small slopes or walls if extra labour is on site to help take the spa off the trolley. However, for larger walls and steep slopes, then a crane may be necessary.

  • Manpower
    We will supply one or two men to commission your spa. If you think the spa will have to be removed from the trolley for any reason (eg: to overcome a step or go through a narrow alleyway), then you must arrange extra labour to assist.

    Oslo, Geneva, Madrid or Lyon 2 extra men.
    Milano 4 extra men
    Grand Canyon and Spa FM These models will require special delivery arrangements anyway.

  • Chemicals
    We insist on the purchase of a chemical pack to commission a spa. This is for safety reasons, so we can dose the spa immediately and demonstrate usage for the future. If you do not wish to purchase the chemicals with your spa, then please ensure you have a suitable supply for use during the commissioning.
