Preparations For Installation - Jacuzzi VIRGINIA experience Vorinstallationsblatt

Remember that it is compulsory to install a multiple-pole section
switch with characteristics that are no less than the ones given in the
"Electrical Safety" chapter and
mum absorption of the system.

The installer must comply with the above regulations, and also use
watertight connectors at connection points. He must also guar-
antee compliance with the specific current standards for sys-
tems in the country in which the spa is installed.
Compliance with this regulation is obligatory: any other procedure is
prohibited.

Spa-Pak and balance tank
(the following considerations are also valid for the spa-pak
"booster kit"; refer 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 pro-
tected from water and bad weather.
N.B. Since certain settings and general maintenance operations
require access to devices present on the Spa-Pak (heating tem-
perature setting, filter backwash, emptying the system, etc.), it is
advisable to ensure easy access to the systems control.
The balance tank (to be installed as close as possible to the Hot
tub and the lowered platform,
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 conductive material, must guarantee connection
to the protection circuit (earth) and any supplementary equipo-
tential 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 following 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

Hot tub
The spas of the "Experience" range can also be installed
recessed with the tub edge flush with the floor. Refer to the
drilling template shown in
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 meas-
urements before installing the hot tub.
Make sure that the plumbingunder the tub is accessible, for
example, by preparing a passage (
outer perimeter that is sufficiently wide (about 80 cm) to make
operations easy. This passage can be closed using removable
under-frames (detail 3), 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,
can use the metal 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 (
1) and the load of the spa, taking 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
be placed so as to avoid siphons. This does not apply to the
blower, which does require a blower (
B).

- buttons ( 2-2a, detail 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, detail 2a). This box must then be connect-
ed 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.
