Pre-Purchase Decisions
Before Delivery
Before attempting to install or use your hot tub, please read these instructions thoroughly, and carefully view the video 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. S ettlement 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 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.
Note
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.
Note
Dimension One 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 entr y. 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 informatio n on local building and electrical codes.

Site Access
Please refer to the drawings on pages 7 - 26 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. CAUTION: DUE TO MANUFACTURING TOLERANCES THERE COULD BE SOME MINOR DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE ACTUAL MEASUREMENTS OF YOUR SPA AND THE DRAWING BELOW. IF SITE PLANNING IS CRITICAL TO SUCH TOLERANCES, BE SURE TO MEASURE YOUR ACTUAL SPA. 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 boxe s, 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 t his for you. Here is a list of some of the most common installation hazards in planning your route:
! 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 quick-release 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 s pace on t he backside of the hot tub where the optional E­Z Lifter
will rest in its upright, open position.

Installation
Electrical Hook Up Instructions
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 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 pow er requirements for your hot tub. We
recommend that only a licensed and bonded electrician do the initial hot tub hook-up.
Note
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
2. Loosen the four screws located on the front of the black equipment control can and remove the
3. Attach 1” rigid non-metallic conduit to the conduit nipple located in the pedestal base on the side of
4. Connect the four wires to the equipment system terminal block (TB1) as indicated on the wiring
5. Configure jumpers 1 and 2 on the upper right corner of the PC Board to match the circuit size being
This unit requires a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter). We have provided an enclosed instructional flyer for a licensed electrician. 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

Maintenance
Draining Your Hot Tub
Locate the hose bib at the bottom of the hot tub, on the pedestal, to the left of the equipment compartment on Dimension One hot tubs, and to the right on @Home hot tubs. This is where you can hook-up your hose for hot tub draining.
Cleaning Your Filter
Your hot tub is equipped with one or two top access filter cartridges. For optimum performance and water quality, we recommend that you clean the filters every month. Before you fill your hot tub, practice removing and reinstalling a filter cartridge.
The EZ Lock Filter does not require excessive force to remove or install. “Finger-tip” pressure is all that is needed.
Note
Light Bulb Replacement
Notice the location of the light. To change the bulb, drain hot tub below the level of the light and unscrew the light cover using the special tool provided in the owner’s manual packet.
Never try to remove the light housing cover without the special tool.
Note
Caring For Your Hot Tub Cover
The thermal cover for your hot tub is an extremely durable foam insulated product. S ee the manufacturer’s literature for proper cleaning instructions. When the hot tub is not in use, it is recommended that the locks always be utilized to discourage unsupervised use and to minimize heat loss
