Spa-Pak and balance tank
(the following considerations are also valid for the spa-pak
"booster kit"; refer also to the relative documentation).
The Spa-Pak must be installed in a ventilated indoor area, which is
only accessible to those with a key or tools, and it must be protected
from water and bad weather.
N.B. Since certain settings and general maintenance operations
require access to devices present on the Spa-Pak (heating temper-
ature setting, filter backwash, emptying the system, etc.), it is advis-
able to ensure easy access to the systems control.
The balance tank (to be installed as close as possible to the Hot tub and
i
the lowered platform,
2-2a) must be closed so that the electrical
devices on it are not accessible to the user without a key or tools.
Ways of limiting access (for both the Spa-Pak and the balance tank)
to unauthorized persons must take into account electrical protection
(direct and indirect contact) and the characteristics of the materials
used; in particular, any filler panels or structural parts, if made of con-
ductive material, must guarantee connection to the protection circuit
(earth) and any supplementary equipotential connection, if required by
the type of installation.
When plastic materials, wood, etc. are used, make sure that they are
approved for use with electrical installations, and approved for self-
extinguishing properties.
Preparations for installation
Prolonged sun exposure could damage the material of
which is made the spa shell, due to its capacity to absorb heat
(dark colours in particular). Don't leave the spa to sun ex-
posure without adequate protection when not in use (cov-
er thermal, gazebo, etc.). Any damage arising by not fol-
lowing these warnings are not covered by the guarantee.
For indoor installation, it is necessary to remember
that water evaporation from the spa (especially where
high temperatures are involved) can cause very high lev-
els of humidity. Natural or forced ventilation helps to
maintain personal comfort and reduce damage to the
building. Jacuzzi Europe refuses all responsibility for any
damage caused by excessive humidity. Consult a spe-
cialist for indoor installation

Hot tub
The spas of the "Experience" range can also be installed with the
tub edge flush with the floor. Refer to the drilling template shown
i
in
5.
In any case, keep in mind that the spa-pak and the balance tank
must be placed at a lower level (
N.B. Since the sizes may vary slightly, always check the measure-
ments before installing the hot tub.
Make sure that the plumbing under the tub is accessible, for example,
i
by preparing a passage (
that is sufficiently wide (about 80 cm) to make operations easy. This
passage can be closed using removable under-frames (detail 3),

).
5, detail 2) around the outer perimeter
with suitable supports (detail 4). Drainage for any water stagnation
must also be provided (detail 5).
If it is to be floor-installed, it will be necessary to fill in the outer perimeter
of the tub, using removable panels all along the perimeter.
In any case, you will require a support base below the tub bottom (in
concrete, steel beams,
supports provided to support the tub edge, positioned as shown in
detail 6. The realization of the support base must take into account
the position of the support feet (
ing into account the table "Weights" shown above.
Study the routes and dig any necessary holes and channels for the
water and electric connections for the spa and the Spa-Pak, with the
balance tank and the ground drainage points, taking into account
that:
- the plumbing pipes are those shown in
placed so as to avoid siphons. This does not apply to the blow-
er, which does require a blower (
i
- buttons (
2-2a, part. 2) are supplied that should be installed
near the spa, and that will be connected to a specific box (sup-
plied with the spa-pak, it can be wall-mounted or installed under
i
the tub,
2-2a, part. 2a). This box must then be connected
to the electrical box on the spa-pak by means of a multi-polar
normalized cable 6x0.75 mm
- the spotlight box of the spa (located under the tub) must be
connected to the electrical box on the spa-pak by means of a
normalized bi-polar cable 2x1.5 mm
- A cable track must also be provided for electrical connections
from the balance tank to the electric wiring box on the Spa-Pak (8
standard leads, with a minimum section of 1.5 mm
- Spa-pak "booster kit": in the instance where a spa-pak
"booster kit" is also installed, a separate supply line must be
provided and it must be connected to the main spa-pak; refer
to the relative documentation.

Spa-pak / Spa pak "booster kit"
For correct spa-pak operation, comply with the dimen-
sions provided in the respective table
the shorter the hoses are, the smaller the loss of load will be. We
recommend that you avoid bends, as far as possible, (we suggest
you use flexible PVC hoses).
In the instance where the main spa-pak has a heat exchanger for
heating water, it is necessary to connect the primary circuit to the
system which supplies hot water, in addition to connecting the elec-
trical box with devices (solenoid valve, motor pump) that control the
recirculation of the hot water in the exchanger's primary circuit.
Water connections for the Spa-Pak must also include the con-
nection between the filter and a ground drainage point.
Spa-Pak must always be installed in a ventilated indoor
area, which is not accessible to persons without a key or
tools and it must be protected from water and bad
weather (see note "Spa-Pak and the balance tank" in the pre-
vious chapter).For perfect operation of the system, the Spa-Pak
must be installed at the same level as the balance tank (
or with a minimal difference.
