OUR ARUB

ARUBA SP

A SPA IS BUIL

A IS BUILT

At Aruba, building spas is our passion. We believe that qual-

ity through simplicity is the best way to build a spa. Over

the years we have refined our spa construction process to

achieve the best results. We are proud of the results that we

have achieved using the methods described below and hope

that knowing how your spa is made will make installing and

operating it easier.

The building process starts with the shell of the spa. At

Aruba Spas we use the thickest acrylic sheet available. Using

a thicker acrylic sheet is important because the spa shell is

formed by placing a heated acrylic sheet over a vacuum-for-

mer, which molds it into the shape of the spa. As the acrylic

sheet is formed it stretches and thins. Using a thicker acrylic

sheet ensures a stronger and more durable surface.

Fiberglass backing is then applied to provide structural sup-

port for the acrylic shell. A triple bond system is used to

ensure a complete bond is formed between the acrylic spa

shell and the fiberglass structural support. A unique type of

resin is applied as a skin coat to the outside surface of the spa

shell. This skin coat is then backed by an additional layer of

fiberglass reinforced resin. The skin coat forms a chemical

bond between the acrylic spa shell and the fiberglass struc-

tural support. This triple bond system ensures the long last-

ing integrity of both the spa shell and spa surface.

After fiberglassing, the holes for the jets are precision drilled

through the spa shell. The rough surface of the fiberglass

backing around the holes is then machined and smoothed.

We take this extra step in manufacturing to ensure the jets

seat against a smooth surface for a tight fit and seal.

The plumbing system is then installed and lines are attached

to each of the jets. A manifold is installed at each junction

between the main plumbing line and the lines leading to the

jets. Running a short line from the manifold directly beneath

the jets provides the best water pressure and allows the jets

to operate at their full capacity. Once the spa is plumbed it is

water tested as part of our quality inspection process to

ensure that there are no leaks.

The spa shell is then lowered into the framed cabinet or “spa

skirt”. At Aruba Spas we use this innovative process to

ensure the structural integrity of our spas. Wooden supports

are then custom fitted by hand to the areas underneath the

seats and stairs to provide additional strength to these areas.

This process recognizes that every spa is not identical and

ensures individual inspection and custom fitting of each spa.

The spa shell is then insulated with 2 LB closed cell foam. As

Aruba Spas are made in Canada we know Canadian weath-

er conditions. With this in mind we use enough insulation to

get the maximum obtainable R factor from our insulating

foam. The use of closed cell foam ensures that water cannot

be absorbed into the insulation. The insulation also locks all

supports into place and secures the spa to the spa skirt.

The electronic operating system, which controls the heating,

filtration and lighting systems is then installed and pre-test-

ed in our factory. We have selected a well designed operat-

ing system that is easy to use and features a number of ener-

gy-saving options and safety options such as child lock-out.

The final touch to the spa is the attractive spa skirt with

strong, stable corners and removable side panels fitted into

the frame to allow easy access to all plumbing. The spa skirt

is made from solid tongue-in groove, red cedar and is

designed to use shorter lengths of wood that may otherwise

not have been utilized. We only use wood that has been har-

vested from select-cut forests using environmentally respon-

sible techniques.

POSITIONING

POSITIONING Y

YOUR SP

OUR SPA

Your spa is self-contained. You can place it on a deck, patio,

in your yard, or indoors. Proper site location is an important

element of the overall enjoyment of your new spa, so make

sure you take enough time to properly plan out the position-

ing of your spa. The following information is provided to

help you determine where to place your spa. If you have any

questions or concerns about where to locate your spa, please

contact our customer service department.

YARD INSTALLATION

Position your spa above ground in an area with good

drainage, on a level surface that contacts the spa fully. The

ideal base is a concrete pad, however compacted gravel,

paving stones or railway ties may also be used. Locate the

spa so the equipment door is readily accessible. The equip-

ment has to be above grade and not subject to flooding. If

using compacted gravel, it must be on a firm level base and

it must be contained in a secure wood or concrete border so

that the loose gravel cannot shift once the spa is in place.

DECK INSTALLATION

Before placing your spa on a deck or other raised platform,

you must have the structure checked for its loading capacity

by an Engineer or competent Contractor. Before placing the

spa on the deck, you should place 1.5” high-density foam

insulation under the spa. This helps insulate the spa and pre-

vent the transmission of noise. At the same time providing

the underside of the spa with extra insulation.

WARNING

One must support the entire base of the

spa, from the outside edges to the centre, to

support its weight. Improper placement of

your spa may void the warranty.

IMPORTANT

Check with your local building codes with

regards to fencing and gate requirements.

Your spa measures 84”x84”x34” the dry

weight is 650 lbs, with water 4000 lbs.

INDOOR INSTALLATION

Before attempting to place the spa indoors check the door

openings to ensure that they are large enough for the spa to

fit through. In addition, you must have the structure

checked for its loading capacity by an Engineer or competent

Contractor. The minimum loading capacity required is 100

lbs per square foot. The spa should be placed in a well-ven-

tilated area so that excess condensation can be removed from

the area where the spa is located. Locate the spa so the

equipment door is readily accessible for maintenance and

service needs, and ensure you have an area with proper

drainage.

You may also wish to think about the following considera-

tions before installing your spa:

• location to facilitate adult supervision if children are using

the spa

• location relative to trees (falling leaves and shade)

• exposure to sunlight

• landscaping and night-time lighting

• view from your house

• wind direction

• storage area for maintenance equipment and chemicals

• adjustment of sprinklers so they do not hit spa or spa cab-

inet

WARNING

Do not permit electric appliances (such as

light, telephone, radio, or television) within

1.5 meters (5 feet) of a spa or hot tub.

ELECTRIC

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

AL CONNECTION

A certified electrician must make all electrical connections to

your spa, in accordance with all applicable electrical codes

for your area. The spa’s GFCI breaker must be sized in accor-

dance to electrical requirements of spa. The Full Load

Amperage (FLA) is recorded on the spa’s nameplate.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION ACCESS

To access Electrical connections:

Electrical connections are within the spa pack. There are 2

wire access locations on either side of the front panel. The

electrical requirements are 220V with a neutral.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Read and follow all instructions.

2. A ground terminal is located inside the supply terminal

box. To reduce the risk of electric shock this terminal must

be connected to the grounding means provided in the electric

GND

WARNING

Failure to use a GFCI breaker for electrical

connection to your spa could result in seri-

ous harm or death. No electrical power

should be available near the spa without

GFCI protection.

WARNING

Electrical codes change from Province to

Province. Check with your electrician for

the electrical codes in your area.
