Pre-Delivery Instructions

P

lease take the time to read this booklet carefully, as it will provide you with the information you will need to

ensure the safe, secure, and timely installation of your new spa. The following sections are guidelines on how to

prepare for delivery and set-up of your new spa. Specifically covered are site selection, delivery access, ground

preparation, and electrical requirements.

Remember to carefully read the Owner’s Manual that accompanies your spa, and to complete the warranty card

within 10 days of delivery. These items, along with other valuable information, will be found in the Owner’s Package

which has been placed in the equipment compartment of your spa, where you will also find its serial number.

Watkins Manufacturing Corporation reserves the right to change features, specifications and design without

notification and without incurring any obligation.

n most cities and counties, permits will be required for the installation of electrical circuits or the construction of

exterior surfaces (decks and gazebos). In addition, some communities have adopted residential barrier codes

which may require fencing and/or self-closing gates on the property to prevent unsupervised access to a pool (or

spa) by children under 5 years of age. Your Hot Spring spa is equipped with a locking cover that meets the ASTM

F1346-91 Standard for Safety Covers and as a result, is usually exempt from most barrier requirements. As a

general practice, your local Building Department will inform you of any applicable barrier requirements at the time a

permit is obtained for the installation of an electrical circuit. Your Hot Spring dealer can provide information on which

permits may be required.

Hot Spring Spa Pre-Delivery Instructions

Congratulations on your decision to enjoy the finest spa available...

Welcome to the growing family of Hot Spring spa owners.

Site Selection and Preparation

IMPORTANT: Site selection and preparation are your responsibility. Carefully read these instructions and consult

your authorized Hot Spring®dealer if you have any questions.

You probably have a spot picked out for your new spa, whether it’s indoors or outdoors, on a patio or on a deck.

Just make sure you check the following:

•Always put your spa on a structurally sound, level surface. A filled spa can weigh a great deal. Make

certain that the location you choose can support the weight of your filled spa.

•Don’t forget to level your spa before filling it. (See Spa Leveling Instructions included in Owner’s Manual.)

•Locate your equipment compartment, which houses all of the electrical components, in a place where

water will drain away from it. Allowing water into the equipment compartment can damage the

electronics, or may result in tripping your house’s circuit breaker.

•Leave yourself easy access to the circuit breakers in the subpanel (230 volt models), or to the interrupter

switch on the end of the power cord (115 volt models).

•Never let water get into the subpanel (230 volt models), into the interrupter switch (115 volt models), or

into the electrical outlet that your spa is plugged into. Your 115 volt Hot Spring spa will come with a

protective box designed to keep out rain and water from sprinkler systems. Your 230 volt spa’s

subpanel is raintight when installed correctly with the door closed.

•Leave access to the equipment compartment for periodic spa care and maintenance.

OUTDOOR AND PATIO INSTALLATION

No matter where you install your new spa, it’s important that you have a solid foundation to support it. Structural

damage to the spa resulting from incorrect installation or placement on an inadequate foundation is not covered

under the spa’s limited warranty.

If you install the spa outdoors, a reinforced concrete pad at least four inches thick is required for the Landmark®

and Grandee®spas, and recommended for the Vanguard®, Sovereign®, Prodigy®and Jetsetter®spas. All Hot

Spring spas may be installed onto a deck, provided that the load capacity of the deck is greater than the

dead weight of the spa (see Deck Installation). The reinforcing rod or mesh in the pad should be attached to a

bond wire (see your Owner’s Manual).

If you place the spa on the ground, even temporarily, place stepping stones under the leveling areas (see Spa

Leveling Instructions in your Owner’s Manual). The stones should be at least two inches thick and twelve inches

square. Even with stones in place, the spa will inevitably settle and become unlevel. Plus, a spa surrounded by

dirt or grass will soon be filled with dirt or grass from users’ feet; therefore, it is important to get it onto a solid

foundation as soon as possible.

DECK INSTALLATION

To be certain your deck can support your spa, you must know the deck’s maximum load capacity. Consult a

qualified building contractor or structural engineer before you place the spa on an elevated deck or

indoors. To find the weight of your spa, its contents and occupants, refer to the Spa Specification chart. This

weight per square foot must not exceed the structure’s rated capacity, or serious structural damage could result.

INDOOR INSTALLATION

Be aware of some special requirements if you place your spa indoors. Water will accumulate around the spa, so

flooring materials must provide a good grip when wet. Proper drainage is essential to prevent a build-up of water

around the spa. When building a new room for the spa, it is recommended that a floor drain be installed. The

humidity will naturally increase with the spa installed. Water may get into woodwork and produce dryrot, mildew,

or other problems. Check for airborne moisture’s effects on exposed wood, paper, etc. in the room. To minimize

these effects, it is best to provide plenty of ventilation to the spa area. An architect can help to determine if more

ventilation must be installed.

Your Hot Spring dealer can help you with local information such as zoning regulations and building codes.

DELIVERY ACCESS

First, locate the dimensions of your spa on the following chart.

The dimensions shown are the measurements of the spa in the

vertical position, laid on its side.

Next, contact your dealer to find the height and width added by

the delivery cart which the dealer will use to deliver your new spa.

Use the height of the cart plus the dimension shown as H to

determine the vertical clearance required to pass the spa and cart.

Use the width of the cart, or dimension W, whichever is greater, to

determine the maximum width of clearance necessary.

NOTE: It may be necessary to allow for additional over-head

clearance if the spa will be rolled up or down an incline or moved

up or down a short flight of stairs.

Use the information below to determine the requirements for

access to your desired location.

It may be necessary to remove a gate, part of a fence, or other movable obstructions in order to roll the spa to its

installation site. About ten percent of the time, a crane is the only way to install the spa by lifting it to its final

destination.

If the spa has to be taken off of the cart to go over a wall (either because the entry area is too narrow, the eaves are

too low, the corner is too tight, or the stairway is too steep), a crane will be required. Don’t be alarmed!

The crane has a truck-mounted boom which can fit right in your driveway. It is run by a licensed and insured

operator. For a charge, the crane operator will lift your spa over walls, buildings, or any other obstruction and place

it as close to the installation site as possible. The Hot Spring®spa delivery personnel will supervise the crane

delivery and complete the spa installation. Crane delivery typically takes an average of 30 minutes to complete.

NOTE: If your spa delivery requires the use of a crane, you may be required to pay for its services at the completion

of the delivery.

GROUND PREPARATION

Your Hot Spring spa has been engineered to perform on all kinds of

common yard surfaces. While a concrete slab is best for long-term

use*, other foundations are acceptable so long as a level base is

prepared prior to delivery. Three foundation base pictures, shown at

right, represent examples of alternatives to a concrete slab for spas

installed without gazebos or other accessories.

*NOTE: A reinforced concrete pad at least four inches thick is

required for the Landmark®and Grandee®spas, and recommended

for the Vanguard®, Sovereign®, Prodigy®and Jetsetter®spas.

INSTALLATION NOTES:

•

If stepping stones or railroad ties are selected for the spa

foundation, they should be placed at the designated leveling

areas of your spa to maintain even distribution of the spa

weight.

•

It is important to note that soft surfaces, even when stepping

stones are used to distribute the weight of the spa as evenly

as possible, will still have a tendency to settle unevenly,

resulting in an unlevel spa.

•

Remember, placing the spa on grass or dirt may increase the

amount of debris which is inadvertently brought into the spa

water on the user’s feet.

If you are purchasing a deck package or a gazebo with your spa, a

solid foundation becomes mandatory. Placing them on any surface

other than a single level pad could create problems with their

installation. Pictured at right are a few of the recommended

surfaces.

As a homeowner, it is your responsibility to provide a suitable, level

foundation for your spa. Keep in mind that most delivery crews are

not equipped to level and prepare spa sites.

If you are interested in having a concrete slab, brick surface, or

wood deck installed, your Hot Spring dealer should be able to

suggest a qualified, licensed contractor.

NOTE: In order for the spa to operate properly and the internal

plumbing to drain completely, you must ensure that the spa is

leveled after it has been installed. The diagrams on the following

pages indicate the recommended shimming points on your spa’s

base support system. Your Hot Spring spa delivery crew can help

you perform the procedure.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

To ensure you will have an opportunity to use your spa soon after delivery, it is very important that the required

electrical service has been installed. Unless otherwise stipulated by your dealer, THIS IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.

IMPORTANT: All electrical circuits must be installed by a qualified, licensed electrician.

Hot Spring®spas are manufactured in two different electrical versions. The Landmark®, Grandee®, Vanguard®and

Sovereign®Limited Edition models are available with a 230 volt continuous heating system. These spas cannot be

converted to 115 volt operation.

The remaining spa models, the Sovereign®, Prodigy®and Jetsetter®models‚ are available as 115/230 volt

convertible heating systems. These models come standard from the factory with 115 volt heating systems; however,

with the addition of a subpanel and a control box wiring change, they can be converted to 230 volt operation. See

the following sections for the electrical requirements for 115 volt operation, 230 volt operation and 230 volt

converted operation.

115 VOLT OPERATION REQUIREMENTS

The 115 volt spa requires a dedicated 20 amp, 115 volt circuit. This circuit must be properly wired; that is, it must

have a 20 amp GFCI breaker in the main electrical service panel, and #12 AWG wire (including ground wire) and the

correct polarity throughout the circuit.

WIRE SPECIFICATION NOTE: Long electrical runs may require a larger gauge feed wire than stated. We

recommend that a maximum voltage drop of 3% be used when calculating the larger wire size.

NOTE: The term “dedicated” means that only the spa operates on the circuit.

Each 115 volt model comes equipped with approximately 15 feet of usable power cord. (This is the maximum

length allowed by Underwriters Laboratory.) When the spa is installed, the power cord will come out of the bottom

of the equipment compartment.

In addition to the dedicated 20 amp, 115 volt GFCI protected circuit, your

spa requires a 20 amp single receptacle. This receptacle, which contains an

outdoor-rated, weather-resistant receptacle cover plate, will be provided to

you. The single receptacle and cover plate should be installed by your

electrician prior to the delivery of your spa.

For your safety, when your electrician is installing the electrical outlet, it

should be no closer than five (5) feet and no farther than ten (10) feet from

the spa. (Reference National Electric Code 680-6a(1) and 680-41a.)

WARNINGS: Do not connect your spa to an extension cord!

The 115 volt GFCI switch and the receptacle must be protected from

weather and landscape sprinklers–they should never get wet.

NOTE: If you require the services of a licensed electrician, your Hot Spring

Dealer should be able to suggest one for you.

Your Hot Spring spa has been carefully engineered to provide maximum

safety against electric shock. Remember, connecting the spa to an

improperly wired circuit will negate many of its safety features.

230 VOLT OPERATION

REQUIREMENTS

All models require a 50 amp, single phase, 230 volt circuit breaker in the main electrical service panel.

NOTE: WE RECOMMEND THAT A SUBPANEL BE USED TO SUPPLY POWER AND PROTECT THE SPA. On the

Landmark, Grandee,Vanguard and Sovereign®Limited Edition models, the subpanel containing GFCI breakers is

included with the spa. On the 230 volt Sovereign, Prodigy and Jetsetter models, the subpanel containing GFCI

breakers must be purchased separately.

All 230 volt Hot Spring®spas must be wired in accordance with applicable local electrical codes, and all electrical

work must be done by a licensed electrician.

Pre-Delivery Instructions Page 12

x Page x x

A licensed electrician should install a four-wire electrical service (two line voltages, one neutral, one ground) from the

main electrical service panel to the subpanel, and from the sub-panel to the spa per the appropriate wiring diagram

as illustrated below.

The grounding conductor must be at least #10 AWG. Your electrician should mount the subpanel in the vicinity of

the spa but it should not be closer than five (5) feet from the spa water edge (NEC 680-38 to 41-A-3).

INSTALLATION NOTE: After the spa has been installed by the dealer’s delivery crew, your electrician can connect

the conduit from the

subpanel to the spa’s IQ

2020®Control Box and then

complete the wiring

connections in the control

box.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Tw o

different wiring diagrams are

shown: one for Landmark,

Grandee and Vanguard

models‚ and one for

Sovereign, Prodigy and

Jetsetter models. Always

follow the wiring diagram for

your specific model.

NOTE: Complete step-by-

step Installation and Wiring

Instructions for all 230 volt

Hot Spring models are

included in the Owner’s

Manual and with each sub-

panel, which can be

obtained from your dealer.

WARNING: Removing or

bypassing the GFCI breakers

in the subpanel at any time

will result in an unsafe spa

and will void the warranty.

WIRE SPECIFICATION

NOTE: Long electrical runs

may require a larger gauge

feed wire than stated. We

recommend that a maximum

voltage drop of 3% be used

when calculating the larger

wire size.
