Swim Spas have very specific installation requirements over a normal hot tub due to their immense
size and weight.
A Swim Spa full of water will weigh 7 - 10 tonnes, around the same weight as the
lorry that is used to deliver it!
Foundation: 200mm thick Concrete, with
reinforcing mesh, laid onto well compacted hardcore
Positioning: This should be done with a crane.
The crane company MUST supply spreader
bars (these bars push the lifting slings apart
above the swim spa so that it is not crushed under its own weight). See image to right.
It is sometimes possible to use a forklift or other
machine to position your swim spa, if you have plenty of access for large machinery. Please
call us to
discuss this option
Power Supply: This is normally 40amp unless
stated otherwise
Site Access: The Swim Spa is delivered on a flat
bed truck. Your crane company will need to ensure that there is sufficient access for their
vehicles as well as the delivery vehicle.
Access Panel: This is always at the same end of
the swim spa as the seats. The whole end panel of the swim spa should be easily removable for
servicing, and 900mm access must be provided on all sides. When decking around the swim spa after
installation, care must be taken to ensure that supports do not obstruct access to the removable
panels - see the Decking section.
