Planning Guide and Installation Manual
Pre-Purchase Decisions
Before Delivery
Before attempting to install or use your
hot tub, please read these instructions
thoroughly, and carefully review the
owner’s manual for your
Dimension One hot tub!
Because your hot tub is
completely self-contained, you
can install it just about
anywhere you wish . . . on a
deck, patio or even indoors.
Just be sure to position it
above ground, in an area with
good drainage and on a level
surface that fully contacts the
bottom of the hot tub.
Typical Installation Site
A concrete slab is best but not
required. You may choose to install it on a
wood deck or bricks. If you choose to install your hot tub on a raised deck or indoors, we suggest you
contact a structural engineer to confirm the surface will hold a hot tub filled with water. Settlement of your
deck or slab may result in damage to the hot tub, which is not covered by warranty. (See specifications in this
booklet.) Wherever you plan to install your hot tub, be sure the surface is flat and solid. Locate your hot tub
so that the equipment is above grade and not subject to flooding. Water should always drain away from the
hot tub. If you are placing your hot tub next to an obstacle, such as a fence or wall, be sure that you place the
hot tub with the topside primary control panel facing forward for easy equipment access. Locate the vents on
the drawing of your particular Dimension One hot tub. This is where cool air will enter and warm air will
escape during hot tub operation. Please ensure that these areas are always free of obstructions. Also, allow
additional space around the hot tub for any accessories you may have purchased - for example an E-Z Lifter
spa cover lift, steps, or a gazebo. Check with your dealer on these additional space requirements.
In most cities and counties, permits are required for the installation of electrical circuits or
the construction of exterior structures such as decks and gazebos. Some communities have
Note
Note
Dimension One Spas and @Home Hot Tubs are equipped with a locking cover that meets or exceeds the
“Standard for Safety Covers,” but is not an adequate safety measure to prevent unsupervised entry. Please
check with your local Building Permit Office that can inform you on any special requirements needed for
installation of your electrical, decking or required barriers. Your local dealer may also provide you with
information on local building and electrical codes.
also adopted residential barrier codes that may require fencing and/or self-closing gates on
the property to prevent unsupervised access to a hot tub by young children.
If you install the spa or hot tub indoors, the surrounding area should be waterproof or
water resistant. Water may be splashed out during normal usage and when entering or
exiting the spa. Dimension One Spas is not responsible for any water damage to any indoor
location for any reason.

Planning Guide and Installation Manual
Site Access
Please refer to the drawings on pages 7 - 45 for the specifications and appropriate measurements for your hot
tub model. You will need the measurements of your hot tub in order to determine the clearance needed for
delivery.
DUE TO MANUFACTURING TOLERANCES THERE COULD BE SOME MINOR
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE ACTUAL MEASUREMENTS OF YOUR SPA AND THE
Caution
Your hot tub will probably be delivered on a dolly or cart. The additional distance from the ground to the
dolly or cart must also be included in your measurements for vertical clearance. Also, take into consideration
that if your hot tub must be transported up-hill or taken upstairs, you may need additional clearance or
assistance. Be sure to remove obstacles such as gates, planters, or items attached to the house. The point of
entry must be clear of air conditioning units, heating units, meters, electrical boxes, etc. It is best that your
dealer pre-inspect the installation site and determine the best way to deliver your hot tub. In rare cases, a
crane must be brought in to assist in an installation. Your Dimension One dealer will supervise this for you.
Here is a list of some of the most common installation hazards in planning your route:
DRAWING BELOW. IF SITE PLANNING IS CRITICAL TO SUCH TOLERANCES, BE
SURE TO MEASURE YOUR ACTUAL SPA.
Gates
Fences
Eaves
Gutters
Air Conditioners
Heaters
Hose Bibs
Bushes
Overhanging Branches
Steps
90 Turns
Cover
The cover supplied with your hot tub is
constructed of the highest quality
materials and is equipped with quickrelease keyed buckle locks that meet
standards set by American Standards
for Testing and Measurement (ASTM).
When the hot tub is not in use, it is
recommended that the cover locks
always be utilized to discourage
unsupervised use and to minimize heat
loss. When installing the cover on your
hot tub, be sure it is facing the correct
direction. When standing in front of
the topside primary control panel, the
center seam or hinge should run
horizontally. You should be able to lift
the handle of the cover and see the hot
tub control panel. Allow 18 inches of
extra space on the backside of the hot
tub where the optional E-Z Lifter
rest in its upright, open position.

Planning Guide and Installation Manual
Electrical Hook Up
Do not turn on electrical power to your hot tub until told to do so later in this manual.
Warning
Have a licensed electrician run the required 120/240 volt power line to the hot tub installation site. The
power inlet connection is located in the pedestal on the left side of the hot tub, approximately 25” from the
front. This connection is designed to mate with a Carlon 1” conduit body Type LB, Access Fitting E986F or
any 1” female PVC conduit fitting. The manufacturer’s label lists the power requirements for your hot tub.
We recommend that only a licensed and bonded electrician do the initial hot tub hook-up.
Warning
Load Sharing
Computerized load sharing (available only on Dimension One Spas hot tubs) is used to allow the system to
automatically recognize the temperature differential and the number of jet pumps in use, compare it with the
available power, and adjust the heater to maximize heater output. If you want to be able to run the pumps at
full power and still be able to generate heat at the same time, consider installing the maximum electrical
service available for your spa. If you do not have enough electrical service, your pumps may shut off when heat
is required. Otherwise, heat may be discontinued if you start up the pumps.
This unit requires a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter). A “line of sight”
service disconnect must be located where visible from the hot tub, not less than 5 feet from
the hot tub and not to exceed 50 feet from the hot tub. This requirement may be filled with
the GFCI sub-panel. All supply wire to be rated minimum 90C.

The power inlet connection is located in the pedestal on the left side of the hot tub, approximately 25" from
the front. The front of the hot tub is the section that includes the topside, primary control panel.
To hook-up your hot tub, follow these instructions:
1. Remove the screws holding the equipment access panel to the front of the hot tub cabinet and set
the panel aside.
2. Loosen the four screws located on the front of the black equipment control box and remove the
door from the control box to allow access to the four-wire connection terminal block.
3. Attach 1” rigid non-metallic conduit to the conduit nipple located in the pedestal base on the side of
the hot tub and run required conductors through the conduit to the equipment control box.
4. Connect the wires to the equipment system terminal block (TB1) as indicated on the wiring diagram
in the back of this manual.
5. Configure jumpers 1 and 2 on the upper right corner of the PC Board to match the circuit size being
used for your hot tub. The proper jumper settings can be found on the wiring schematic located on
the inside of the Lower Equipment Compartment cover. Use the appropriate Electrical Requirements
Chart (shown above) for the proper wire size.
