When you receive your new spa, compare the manual to the merchandise and make sure that all of the parts match the illustrations and part numbers. Be especially cautious with the spa heater and all electrical parts. If you have any questions, check online for more information of this model of the spa. Install the spa according to directions, of course.

If you need to install the spa in an unusual way that isn’t covered by the manual, you may want to call in an electrician just to be sure. Make sure all of the exposed wires are in good condition and the plug is sound. Check the spa heater to make sure it is in the proper place without signs of wear or burning.

If you bought a used spa check your spa before getting into it. Slow or inadequate heating can be a sign of trouble. If you have an outdoor spa, perform all of the checks at the beginning of the season. Check for frayed wires, animal damage and water damage. Turn it on each spring and make sure it is working up to snuff. Give the spa heater a test run to see that it still heats as well as always. Investigate any unusual odors. If there are any questions, call the electrician.

If you use an outside spa, pack it correctly for winter. Not covering your spa properly can seriously damage the heater. If you take good care of your spa bath, it can serve you for many years.
