Dimension One Spas and @ Home Hot Tubs

Export Planning Guide and Installation Manual

Pre-Purchase Decisions

Before Delivery

Before attempting to install or use your

hot tub, please read these instructions

thoroughly, and carefully view the

video owner’s manual for your

Dimension One hot tub!

Because your hot tub is

completely self-contained, you

can install it just about

anywhere you wish . . . on a

deck, patio or even indoors.

Just be sure to position it

above ground, in an area with

good drainage and on a level

surface that fully contacts the

bottom of the hot tub.

Typical Installation Site

A concrete slab is best but not

required. You may choose to install it on a

wood deck or bricks. If you choose to install your hot tub on a raised deck or indoors, we suggest you

contact a structural engineer to confirm the surface will hold a hot tub filled with water. Settlement of your

deck or slab may result in damage to the hot tub, which is not covered by warranty. (See specifications in this

booklet.) Wherever you plan to install your hot tub, be sure the surface is flat and solid. Locate your hot tub

so that the equipment is above grade and not subject to flooding. Water should always drain away from the

hot tub. If you are placing your hot tub next to an obstacle, such as a fence or wall, be sure that you place the

hot tub with the topside primary control panel facing forward for easy equipment access. Locate the vents on

the drawing of your particular Dimension One hot tub. This is where cool air will enter and warm air will

escape during hot tub operation. Please ensure that these areas are always free of obstructions. Also, allow

additional space around the hot tub for any accessories you may have purchased - for example an E-Z Lifter®

spa cover lift, steps, or a gazebo. Check with your dealer on these additional space requirements.

Note

In most cities and counties, permits are required for the installation of electrical circuits or

the construction of exterior structures such as decks and gazebos. Some communities have

also adopted residential barrier codes that may require fencing and/or self-closing gates on

the property to prevent unsupervised access to a hot tub by young children.

Note

If you install the spa or hot tub indoors, the surrounding area should be waterproof or

water resistant. Water may be splashed out during normal usage and when entering or

exiting the spa. Dimension One Spas is not responsible for any water damage to any indoor

location for any reason.

Dimension One and @Home hot tubs are equipped with a locking cover that meets or exceeds the “Standard

for Safety Covers,” but is not an adequate safety measure to prevent unsupervised entry. Please check with

your local Building Permit Office that can inform you on any special requirements needed for installation of

your electrical, decking or required barriers. Your local dealer may also provide you with information on local

building and electrical codes.

Site Access

Please refer to the drawings on pages 7 - 26 for the specifications and appropriate measurements for your hot

tub model. You will need the measurements of your hot tub in order to determine the clearance needed for

delivery. CAUTION: DUE TO MANUFACTURING TOLERANCES THERE COULD BE SOME MINOR

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE ACTUAL MEASUREMENTS OF YOUR SPA AND THE DRAWING BELOW.

IF SITE PLANNING IS CRITICAL TO SUCH TOLERANCES, BE SURE TO MEASURE YOUR ACTUAL SPA.

Your hot tub will probably be delivered on a dolly or cart. The additional distance from the ground to the

dolly or cart must also be included in your measurements for vertical clearance. Also, take into consideration

that if your hot tub must be transported up-hill or taken upstairs, you may need additional clearance or

assistance. Be sure to remove obstacles such as gates, planters, or items attached to the house. The point of

entry must be clear of air conditioning units, heating units, meters, electrical boxes, etc. It is best that your

dealer pre-inspect the installation site and determine the best way to deliver your hot tub. In rare cases, a

crane must be brought in to assist in an installation. Your Dimension One dealer will supervise this for you.

Here is a list of some of the most common installation hazards in planning your route:

! Gates

! Fences

! Eaves

! Gutters

! Air Conditioners

! Heaters

! Hose Bibs

! Bushes

! Overhanging Branches

! Steps

! 90° Turns

Cover

The cover supplied with your hot

tub is constructed of the highest

quality materials and is equipped

with quick-release keyed buckle

locks that meet standards set by

American Standards for Testing

and Measurement (ASTM). When

the hot tub is not in use, it is

recommended that the cover locks

always be utilized to discourage

unsupervised use and to minimize

heat loss. When installing the

cover on your hot tub, be sure it is

facing the correct direction. When

standing in front of the topside

primary control panel, the center

seam or hinge should run

horizontally. You should be able to

lift the handle of the cover and see

the hot tub control panel. Allow 18 inches of extra space on the backside of the hot tub where the optional E-

Z Lifter will rest in its upright, open position.

Export Planning Guide and Installation Manual

Installation

Electrical Hook Up Instructions

Warning

Do not turn on electrical power to your hot tub until told to do so later in this manual.

Have a licensed electrician run the required 240-volt power line to the hot tub installation site. The power

inlet connection is located in the pedestal on the left side of the hot tub, approximately 25” from the front.

This connection is designed to mate with a Carlon 1” conduit body Type LB, Access Fitting E986F or any 1”

female PVC conduit fitting. The manufacturer’s label lists the power requirements for your hot tub. We

recommend that only a licensed and bonded electrician do the initial hot tub hook-up.

Note

This unit requires a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter). We have provided

an enclosed instructional flyer for a licensed electrician. A “line of sight” service

disconnect must be located where visible from the hot tub, not less than 5 feet from the

hot tub and not to exceed 50 feet from the hot tub. This requirement may be filled with

the GFCI sub-panel. All supply wire to be rated minimum 90°C.

To hook-up your hot tub, follow these instructions:

1. Remove the screws holding the equipment access panel to the front of the hot tub cabinet and set

the panel aside.

2. Loosen the four screws located on the front of the black equipment control can and remove the

door from the control can to allow access to the four wire connection terminal block.

3. Attach 1” rigid non-metallic conduit to the conduit nipple located in the pedestal base on the side of

the hot tub and run required conductors through the conduit to the equipment can.

4. Connect the four wires to the equipment system terminal block (TB1) as indicated on the wiring

diagram in the back of this manual.

5. Configure jumpers 1 and 2 on the upper right corner of the PC Board to match the circuit size being

used for the hot tub (see Electrical Requirements Chart on the following page for proper wire size).

See the chart below for the correct settings.

Please check these items before you fill your hot tub with water:

About Smart Heat (Available Only on Dimension One Hot

Tubs)

Smart Heat provides maximum heat recovery using the amperage that you have available. Through

computerized load sharing, the system automatically recognizes the temperature differential and the number

of jet pumps in use, compares it with the available power and adjusts the heater to maximize heater output.

Maintenance

Draining Your Hot Tub

Locate the hose bib at the bottom of the hot tub, on the pedestal, to the left of the equipment compartment

on Dimension One hot tubs, and to the right on @Home hot tubs. This is where you can hook-up your hose

for hot tub draining.

Cleaning Your Filter

Your hot tub is equipped with one or two top access filter cartridges. For optimum performance and water

quality, we recommend that you clean the filters every month. Before you fill your hot tub, practice removing

and reinstalling a filter cartridge.

Note

The EZ Lock Filter does not require excessive force to remove or install. “Finger-tip”

pressure is all that is needed.

Light Bulb Replacement

Notice the location of the light. To change the bulb, drain hot tub below the level of the light and unscrew the

light cover using the special tool provided in the owner’s manual packet.

Note

Never try to remove the light housing cover without the special tool.

Caring For Your Hot Tub Cover

The thermal cover for your hot tub is an extremely durable foam insulated product. See the manufacturer’s

literature for proper cleaning instructions. When the hot tub is not in use, it is recommended that the cover

locks always be utilized to discourage unsupervised use and to minimize heat loss.
