Pre-Delivery Guide
SECTION 1.

Everything you need to plan and consider before
your Galaxy spa arrives.
7
Delivery Options
Your spa consultant will speak with you about where you would like to place
your spa pool and about access for delivery. Together you will decide which
delivery method is best suited. Once you have purchased your spa, your
consultant will hand you over to Galaxy’s fullment team. One of our fullment
managers will then be your point of contact and support to coordinate delivery.
Into position delivery.
A HIAB is the most common delivery method for a spa pool, consisting of a large delivery
truck with a crane arm that can reach 7m long and 2m high, capable of lifting your spa into
position from your driveway or street front. Manpower is used when a HIAB cannot reach your
desiredposition.
Bespoke delivery.
A more complex delivery may require bespoke methods, usually utilising a combination of
HIAB, manpower, crane or helicopter. To coordinate this, we will ask you to provide specic
details about your property via descriptions and images. Factors such as powerlines, road and
driveway access and natural obstacles will be considered. If needed, we will arrange a site check
andquote.
Kerbside delivery.
If you are looking for a more economical option or are not ready to have your spa put into
position, we can coordinate delivery to your kerbside. The spa will arrive on its side, in its
packaging and then you will be responsible for moving it from here. We recommend talking to
us about the best way to move it safely.
Pick up.
In certain scenarios, pick up from the nearest depot can be organised.
Requirement to inspect the spa upon delivery.
When your spa is delivered, you need to be present and do a thorough inspection of the spa
before accepting delivery. This includes removing the outer packaging and ensuring no damage
has occurred during freight. Claims for damage can only be accepted if issues are written on the
consignment / delivery note you’ll be asked to sign and communicated to Galaxy Spas within 24
hours of delivery.

Choosing Your Spa’s Placement
For the best spa experience, the placement and orientation of your new pool
should be carefully planned. There are important positioning, foundational and
electrical requirements outlined in this section to ensure smooth delivery and
installation. Refer to the checklist on page 13.
Whether to ensure a private sanctuary, have line of sight to supervise your kids in the spa, or
to entertain guests easily, here are our top three considerations when designing your outdoor
spaspace.
1. View
What would you like to look at while you soak, relax and connect with loved ones?
Ifyour chosen spa has loungers, where or what would you want them to face?
2. Privacy
If privacy is important to you, think about the most private place for your pool.
Consider neighbours, somebody coming to the door and sight lines of people
walking or driving past.
3. Weather
Where is the most sheltered spot you can place your spa? Out of the wind and in
the sun is ideal and not too far from the house for those chilly nights. If you are
in a particularly hot and sunny climate, a slightly more sheltered spot is advised
to reduce prolonged high UV exposure, to protect both those in the spa and the
spa itself.

Positioning Requirements
Fencing
To keep you and your loved ones safe, most councils have rules around fencing requirements for
spa pools.
Above ground
+ No fencing is required if your spa pool is
above 0.76m high.
+ Spa pools are required to have a hard,
lockable cover.
+ Any permanent structures near the spa
(such as a heat pump) are classed as
climbable surfaces and must be placed at
least 1.2m away.
Draco I and Ara I - At 0.82m deep, nofencing
is required.
Below ground
If you are sinking your spa pool into the
ground or decking, a fence is required for
safety compliance.
We recommend contacting your council
to discuss any fencing requirements for
your region. Fencing is the homeowner’s
responsibility and we want you to have the
safest spa environment and adhere to any
local spa fencing bylaws.
See page 12 for further details on building
consent.
Electricity
Important Considerations.
+ Does your home have the electrical capacity to run a 15 amp spa? Most homes are able to.
+ Based on proximity to your power supply, are there particular areas you can or cannot place
your spa? This may be an important consideration if you have a large property.
+ A 15 amp spa requires an outdoor waterproof 15 amp electrical socket.
+ An RCD (Residual Current Device) will need to be installed to protect the circuit and spa
pool. A qualied electrician must install this before your spa is delivered. You may need to
discuss this with your electrician before conrming your spa’s positioning.
See page 23 for full electrical installation guidelines.
Service Area
Your spa’s panels may need to be removed during servicing, so you must ensure there is enough
room for a technician to access and remove them to complete the work. 50cm is the minimum
requirement.
10
Cover Lifter
A cover lifter is a helpful accessory that attaches to your spa pool to assist you in removing
your spa pool cover. Spa pool covers are heavy due to being constructed with thick insulating
material to prevent hot air from escaping. Not only does a lifter help you remove the cover with
ease, it also protects the cover from damage during the process.
Draco I and Ara I.
50cm rear and 10cm side clearance is required (5cm on each side).
You will need to lift your empty spa slightly to install the cover lifter correctly. Once lled with
water, it will be too heavy.
Spa
Cover Lifter
Cover Locks
+ The spa cover requires 32.5cm of space from the top of the installed cover down each side of
the cabinet to the lock clips.
+ This space is required. Not providing the necessary clearances will mean you cannot install
your cover properly or lock it.
+ Even when your spa is fenced, we recommend locking your cover locks to prevent the wind
from dislodging the cover and unattended children from entering the spa.
Heat Pump
+ Your spa is heat pump compatible.
+ If purchase this add-on, it must be placed a minimum of 1.2m away from the spa so that it
cannot be used as a climbable surface.
+ There must be a minimum 3m clearance in front and 1.5m clearance behind the heat pump
for it to efciently circulate airow.
+ The heat pump needs to be on a concrete foundation.
For more information, please refer to the Heat Pump Installation Guide found on our website.
