Pre-Delivery Instructions
Congratulations on your decision to enjoy the finest spa available...
Welcome to the growing family of Hot Spring spa owners.
Pre-Delivery Instructions
Please take the time to read this booklet carefully, as it will provide you with the information you will need to ensure
the safe, secure, and timely installation of your new spa. The following sections are guidelines on how to prepare for
delivery and set-up of your new spa. Specifically covered are site selection, delivery access, ground preparation, and
electrical requirements.
Remember to carefully review the Owner’s Manual that accompanies your spa, and to register the spa's warranty
within 10 days of delivery. These items, along with other valuable information, will be found in the Owner’s Package
which has been placed in the equipment compartment of your spa, where you will also find its serial number.
Watkins Manufacturing Corporation reserves the right to change features, specifications and design without
notification and without incurring any obligation.

In most cities and counties, permits will be required for the installation of electrical circuits or the construction of
exterior surfaces (decks and gazebos). In addition, some communities have adopted residential barrier codes which
may require fencing and/or self-closing gates on the property to prevent unsupervised access to a pool (or spa) by
children under 5 years of age. Your Hot Spring spa is equipped with a locking cover that meets the ASTM F1346-91
Standard for Safety Covers and as a result, is usually exempt from most barrier requirements. As a general practice,
your local Building Department will inform you of any applicable barrier requirements at the time a permit is obtained
for the installation of an electrical circuit. Your Hot Spring dealer can provide information on which permits may be
required.

Site Selection and Preparation
IMPORTANT: Site selection and preparation are your responsibility. Carefully read these instructions and consult
your authorized Hot Spring® dealer if you have any questions.
You probably have a spot picked out for your new spa, whether it’s indoors or outdoors, on a patio or on a deck.
Just make sure you check the following:
• Always put your spa on a structurally sound, level surface. A filled spa can weigh a great deal. Make
certain that the location you choose can support the weight of your filled spa.
• Don’t forget to level your spa before filling it. (See Spa Leveling Instructions included in Owner’s
Manual.)
• Locate your equipment compartment, which houses all of the electrical components, in a place
where water will drain away from it. Allowing water into the equipment compartment can damage the
electronics, or may result in tripping your house’s circuit breaker.
• Leave yourself easy access to the circuit breakers in the subpanel (230 volt models), or to the interrupter
switch on the end of the power cord (115 volt models).
• Never let water get into the subpanel (230 volt models), into the interrupter switch (115 volt models),
or into the electrical outlet that your spa is plugged into. Your 115 volt Hot Spring spa will come with a
protective box designed to keep out rain and water from sprinkler systems. Your 230 volt spa’s subpanel
is raintight when installed correctly with the door closed.
• Leave access to the equipment compartment for periodic spa care and maintenance.
Outdoor and Patio Installation
No matter where you install your new spa, it’s important that you have a solid foundation to support it. Structural
damage to the spa resulting from incorrect installation or placement on an inadequate foundation is not covered
under the spa’s limited warranty.
If you install the spa outdoors, a reinforced concrete pad at least four inches thick is required for the Vista® and
Grandee® spas, and recommended for the Envoy®, Vanguard®, Sovereign®, Aria ®, Prodigy® and Jetsetter® spas.
The reinforcing rod or mesh in the pad should be attached to a bond wire (see your Owner’s Manual). All Hot
Spring spas may be installed onto a deck, provided that the load capacity of the deck is greater than the
dead weight of the spa (see Deck Installation).
If you place the spa on the ground, even temporarily, place stepping stones under the leveling areas (see Spa
Leveling Instructions in your Owner’s Manual). The stones should be at least two inches thick and twelve inches
square. Even with stones in place, the spa will inevitably settle and become unlevel. Plus, a spa surrounded by
dirt or grass will soon be filled with dirt or grass from users’ feet; therefore, it is important to get it onto a solid
foundation as soon as possible.
Deck Installation
To be certain your deck can support your spa, you must know the deck’s maximum load capacity. Consult a
qualified building contractor or structural engineer before you place the spa on an elevated deck or
indoors. To find the weight of your spa, its contents and occupants, refer to the Spa Specification chart. This
weight per square foot must not exceed the structure’s rated capacity, or serious structural damage could result.
Indoor Installation
Be aware of some special requirements if you place your spa indoors. Water will accumulate around the spa, so
flooring materials must provide a good grip when wet. Proper drainage is essential to prevent a build-up of water
around the spa. When building a new room for the spa, it is recommended that a floor drain be installed. The
humidity will naturally increase with the spa installed. Water may get into woodwork and produce dryrot, mildew,
or other problems. Check for airborne moisture’s effects on exposed wood, paper, etc. in the room. To minimize
these effects, it is best to provide plenty of ventilation to the spa area. An architect can help to determine if more
ventilation must be installed.
Your Hot Spring dealer can help you with local information such as zoning regulations and building codes.

DELIVERY ACCESS
First, locate the dimensions of your spa on the following chart. The
dimensions shown are the measurements of the spa in the vertical
position, laid on its side.
Next, contact your dealer to find the height and width added by
the delivery cart which the dealer will use to deliver your new
spa. Use the height of the cart plus the dimension shown as H to
determine the vertical clearance required to pass the spa and cart.
Use the width of the cart, or dimension W, whichever is greater, to
determine the maximum width of clearance necessary.
NOTE: It may be necessary to allow for additional over-head
clearance if the spa will be rolled up or down an incline or moved
up or down a short flight of stairs.
Use the information below to determine the requirements for
access to your desired location.

It may be necessary to remove a gate, part of a fence, or other movable obstructions in order to roll the spa to its
installation site. About ten percent of the time, a crane is the only way to install the spa by lifting it to its final destination.
If the spa has to be taken off of the cart to go over a wall (either because the entry area is too narrow, the eaves are
too low, the corner is too tight, or the stairway is too steep), a crane will be required. Don’t be alarmed!
The crane has a truck-mounted boom which can fit right in your driveway. It is run by a licensed and insured
operator. For a charge, the crane operator will lift your spa over walls, buildings, or any other obstruction and place it
as close to the installation site as possible. The Hot Spring® spa delivery personnel will supervise the crane delivery
and complete the spa installation. Crane delivery typically takes an average of 30 minutes to complete.
NOTE: If your spa delivery requires the use of a crane, you may be required to pay for its services at the completion
of the delivery.
GROUND PREPARATION
Your Hot Spring spa has been engineered to perform on all kinds of
common yard surfaces. While a concrete slab is best for long-term use*,
other foundations are acceptable so long as a level base is prepared
prior to delivery. Three foundation base pictures, shown at right,
represent examples of alternatives to a concrete slab for spas installed
without gazebos or other accessories.
*NOTE: A reinforced concrete pad at least four inches thick or a deck
that is able to withstand more than 115 lbs. per square foot is required
for the Vista® and Grandee® spas , and recommended for the Envoy ®,
Vanguard®, Sovereign®, Aria ®, Prodigy ® and Jetsetter® spas.
FOUNDATIONS FOR SPAS ONLY
(No accessories such as cover or gazebo)
PEA GRAVEL
OR CRUSHED ROCK
RAILROAD TIES
INSTALLATION NOTES:
• If stepping stones or railroad ties are selected for the spa
foundation, they should be placed at the designated leveling areas
of your spa to maintain even distribution of the spa weight.
• It is important to note that soft surfaces, even when stepping
stones are used to distribute the weight of the spa as evenly as
possible, will still have a tendency to settle unevenly, resulting in
an unlevel spa.
• Remember, placing the spa on grass or dirt may increase the
amount of debris which is inadvertently brought into the spa
water on the user’s feet.

STEPPING STONES
FOUNDATIONS FOR SPAS
WITH ACCESSORIES
If you are purchasing a deck package or a gazebo with your spa, a
solid foundation becomes mandatory. Placing them on any surface
other than a single level pad could create problems with their
installation. Pictured at right are a few of the recommended surfaces.
As a homeowner, it is your responsibility to provide a suitable, level
foundation for your spa. Keep in mind that most delivery crews are
not equipped to level and prepare spa sites.
If you are interested in having a concrete slab, brick surface, or wood
deck installed, your Hot Spring dealer should be able to suggest a
qualified, licensed contractor.
NOTE: In order for the spa to operate properly and the internal
plumbing to drain completely, you must ensure that the spa is leveled
after it has been installed. The diagrams on the following pages
indicate the recommended shimming points on your spa’s base
support system. Your Hot Spring spa delivery crew can help you
perform the procedure.

Pre-Delivery Instructions
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
To ensure you will have an opportunity to use your spa soon after delivery, it is very important that the required
electrical service has been installed. Unless otherwise stipulated by your dealer, THIS IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.
IMPORTANT: All electrical circuits must be installed by a qualified, licensed electrician.
Hot Spring® spas are manufactured in two different electrical versions. The Vista®, Grandee®, Envoy®, Vanguard®,
Sovereign® (model II) and Aria ® models are available with a 230 volt continuous heating system. These spas cannot
be converted to 115 volt operation.
The remaining spa models, the Sovereign (model I), Prodigy® and Jetsetter® models‚ are available as 115/230 volt
convertible heating systems. These models come standard from the factory with 115 volt heating systems; however,
with the addition of a subpanel and a control box wiring change, they can be converted to 230 volt operation. See
the following sections for the electrical requirements for 115 volt operation, 230 volt operation and 230 volt converted
operation.
115 VOLT OPERATION REQUIREMENTS
The 115 volt spa requires a dedicated 20 amp, 115 volt circuit. This circuit must be properly wired; that is, it must
have a 20 amp GFCI breaker in the main electrical service panel, and #12 AWG wire (including ground wire) and the
correct polarity throughout the circuit.
WIRE SPECIFICATION NOTE: Long electrical runs may require a larger gauge feed wire than stated. We
recommend that a maximum voltage drop of 3% be used when calculating the larger wire size.
NOTE: The term “dedicated” means that only the spa operates on the circuit.
Each 115 volt model comes equipped with approximately 15 feet of usable power cord. (This is the maximum length
allowed by Underwriters Laboratory.) When the spa is installed, the power cord will come out of the bottom of the
equipment compartment.
In addition to the dedicated 20 amp, 115 volt GFCI protected circuit, your spa requires a 20 amp single receptacle.
This receptacle, which contains an outdoor-rated, weather-resistant receptacle cover plate, will be provided to you.
The single receptacle and cover plate should be installed by your electrician prior to the delivery of your spa.
For your safety, when your electrician is installing the electrical outlet, it should be no closer than five (5) feet and no
farther than ten (10) feet from the spa. (Reference National Electric Code 680-6a(1) and 680-41a.)
Warnings: Do not connect your spa to an extension cord!
The 115 volt GFCI switch and the receptacle must be protected from weather and landscape sprinklers–they should
never get wet.
Note: If you require the services of a licensed electrician, your Hot Spring® Dealer should be able to suggest one
for you.
Your Hot Spring spa has been carefully engineered to provide maximum safety against electric shock. Remember,
connecting the spa to an improperly wired circuit will negate many of its safety features.

230 VOLT OPERATION REQUIREMENTS
All models require a 50 amp, single phase, 230 volt circuit breaker in the main electrical service panel.
All 230 volt Hot Spring spas must be wired in accordance with applicable local and national electrical codes, all
electrical work must be done by a licensed electrician.
NOTE: Watkins Manufacturing Corporation REQUIRES THE USE OF A SUBPANEL TO SUPPLY POWER AND
PROTECT THE SPA. On the Vista®, Grandee®, Envoy®, Vanguard®, Sovereign® (model II) and Aria ® models, the
subpanel containing GFCI breakers is included with the spa. On the 230 volt Sovereign (model I), Prodigy® and
Jetsetter® models, the subpanel containing GFCI breakers must be purchased separately and can be purchased
from your Hot Spring dealer.
A licensed electrician should install a four-wire electrical service (two line voltages, one neutral, one ground) from
the main electrical service panel to the subpanel, and from the sub-panel to the spa per the appropriate wiring
diagram as illustrated below.
The grounding conductor must be at least #10 AWG. Your electrician should mount the subpanel in the vicinity of
the spa but it should not be closer than five (5) feet from the spa water edge (NEC 680-38 to 41-A-3).
INSTALLATION NOTE: After the spa has been installed by the dealer’s delivery crew, your electrician can connect
the conduit from the subpanel to the spa’s IQ 2020 ® Control Box and then complete the wiring connections in the
control box.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Three different wiring diagrams are shown: one for Grandee (model G), Vanguard Sovereign
(model II) and Aria models‚ one for Vista, Grandee (model GG) and Envoy models and one for Sovereign, Prodigy
and Jetsetter models. Always follow the wiring diagram for your specific model.
NOTE: Complete step-by-step Installation and Wiring Instructions for all 230 volt Hot Spring models are included in
the Owner’s Manual and with each sub-panel, which can be obtained from your dealer.
WARNING: Removing or bypassing the GFCI breakers in the subpanel at any time will result in an unsafe spa and
will void the warranty.
WIRE SPECIFICATION NOTE: Long electrical runs may require a larger gauge feed wire than stated. We
recommend that a maximum voltage drop of 3% be used when calculating the larger wire size.
Refer to the Wiring Diagrams to the right for the electrical requirements of the 230 volt models.
When connecting the supply conduit to the bottom of the IQ2020 box, use a 3/4” liquid-tight flex conduit fitting.

WARNING! The exact physical location of the terminals
on the GFCI breaker will vary between manufacturers.
Connecting the hot wire to the neutral terminal will
cause irreversible damage to the control box.
