Can I place the spa on a concrete surface?
Yes, but we advise using a ground cloth. Do not pull the fabric across the concrete as abrasions may cause holes in the fabric. The surface must be smooth, flat, stable and free from sharp objects.
Can I leave the spa outdoor year around?
We recommend that you do not use the spa if the temperature falls below -10°C, even with the heater (the heater must always be turned on if there is a risk that the water gets colder than 4°C!).
The spa may freeze and there may be cracks in the fabric and the spa can not handle the weight of ice or snow.
You should unmount and keep the spa indoors when you do not intend to use it for a while.
A rule of thumb is that the pool water must not be less than +4°C as there maybe be a risk of freezing.

Inflate until the pool feels stable, ie. to about 85%. An over-filled spa can crack or cause leaks at the seams after being heated by the sun or filled with water.
Always remember to use the attached pressure gauge to test and adjust the pressure of the spa to an appropriate level (the level must be within the green area).
How often should I change the water?
This figure varies depending on usage and chemical balance. If it is properly filtered and chemically balanced water should last through the summer.
You can reduce the need for water changes, always cover your spa when not in use, test the water regularly to ensure proper chemical balance,
operating the pump for an appropriate number of hours each day, keep filret clean and replace it when needed.

How often is it recommended to test the water quality?
You should test your water every time you use the spa. Just use the attached test patch to get a simple test of the water in the pool. Always test the pH, alkalinity, and the treatment you are using
(chlorine or bromine). Keeping the pH and alkalinity in the proper ranges allow your chemicals to work effectively and prolong the life of your nozzles, pumps and heaters.
If you are unfamiliar with the chemicals you should test the purification before each use. This prevents bacterial growth and keeps your spa completely clean and safe.
Should I install the spa indoor or outdoor?
Each place has its pros and cons. Outdoor installations may not have privacy, but you can add screens, shrubs or fencing to minimize peering eyes. The weather outside may be a discouraging factor,
although many love the experience of "slack" in the bubbling hot water while a light rain or snowflakes are falling! It can be exhilarating! A canopy can be built to protect against weather.
It may be noted for those who have not experienced this, but the hot water raises your body's core temperature, so you will normally not feel cold when you leave a hot tub outdoors on a chilly winter day.
Inside installations will add humidity in your house. It is imperative that you provide good ventilation to control moisture and prevent mold and other damage.
If you decide you want inside installation, plan as to how to fill and empty the pool. There are two other important questions: will the pool fit through the door? Is the floor strong enough and stable?
Remember, a water-filled bubble spa with four people weighing approximately 1.2 tons. On the other side, you will have privacy and convenience. You are completely protected from the weather.
