Kylejesh1977 Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 Seems to me that keeping it away from the entrance of the crawl space is smart. Anyone have any insight to this? I also assume there's multiple reasons to place away from the house by at least a foot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cusser Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 Had my spa installed on my patio back in 1988. So one side sits about 10" from the block wall. Yes, not accessible, but the other non-equipment sides are not designed to be opened up either. And with sprayed-in foam insulation, good luck pinpointing any internal leak anyway if not in the equipment area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
north_of_boston Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 Ours is around 10 feet from the house. Electrical code requires that there be a "Ted Bundy Kill Switch" within a certain distance of the tub ... we did have our first one around 3 feet from the house but its noise was right below our bedroom window. We reconfigured our tub area when we installed the Arctic. Cusser, I think we discussed this - the Arctic has an insulated but not foam packed cabinet. Which is one major reason why we went with it. Our old Sequoia Spa was foam-packed... we had one leak, stripped the foam out, had it fixed and then we found ANOTHER leak so it was "dump it time." We did have a leak inside the Arctic three years ago - fixed in an hour by the spa tech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
