How To Install

Select the place to set up your Jacuzzi. If its location is outside ensure it is not placed underneath power lines or in a corner that would hamper the accessibility to the technical components placed underneath the tub. As extension cords are prohibited, make certain that you have a direct excess to electrical outlet.
Make the ground even. The floor at which the Jacuzzi is to be installed should be properly leveled. The floor needs to be strong and able to support the weight of the tub.
Remove any rocks or debris and level the ground. You have to pour a concrete slab foundation that is about 5-6 inches thick, and which, can support huge weight.
Make a supporting frame along the entire length of the bottom and the rim. Some Jacuzzi units come along with frames. If your Jacuzzi is not framed then you can hire a carpenter to make one for you or buy a readymade one. The frame must have an access panel to reach to the motor and pump in case of maintenance.

Now when you are ready with this, bring your tub and place it on the center of the concrete slab. Connect the electricity circuit, in such a manner that the tub is stationary and stable.
Set up Jacuzzi cover and tighten the screws that secure the slots through which the cover aglet's thread. This will keep your tub clean and sheltered from the environment.
