Placement of your Apollo spa
.
Your spa must be properly situated and supported to ensure longevity of the cabinet, acrylic shell, and its compo-
nents. It is mandatory that your spa sit on a flat, hard, unitized surface that is level to within one inch over 8 feet
of a slope. Hard and unitized means that the surface must be a stable, tied together platform that will withstand
the rigors of use and your local climate extremes. Examples of the above would be: a 3.9" reinforced concrete pad,
a wood deck built to local building codes, or an engineered stage platform built to our Apollo Spa's standards. It is
important to note that when spas are placed on soft surfaces, or platforms that are not integrated, the ground may
settle. This leaves a void in the structural integrity of the platform and could cause damage to the spa shell, cabinet
or structure. This damage is not covered by your Limited Warranty. Contact your local Apollo Spas outlet with
any concerns or questions before installing your Apollo spa.
Wood decking requires that the deck be constructed to support at least 100 pounds per square foot. Individual spa
weights vary.
Check with your Apollo Spas outlet for specific model weights. You may also use the chart on page 7 for your
model's estimated average weight.
Equipment Panels and Access
When considering an installation site, always allow for a minimum of 30" of clearance for the front equipment
panel. It is also recommended to allow at least 20" of minimum clearance for the remaining sides. Contact your
local Apollo Spa outlet for further information when enclosing or recessing your spa.
