INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT! Please read entire instructions before assembly.

Each box contains:

• (4) 48” x 48” x 2” Modules
• (8) Black EZ Pad connectors
• (16) Phillips Pan head size 14, 1-inch screws

Tools Needed for Installation:

Shovel, Level, 2x4 to assist in leveling dirt, sand or gravel, Phillips head screwdriver or cordless drill.

Instructions:
The EZ Pad modules can be placed on grass, dirt, sand or gravel. For best results, remove sod and prepare a level base. Module can be drilled through for electrical conduit placement.

Installed today, pic attached. And it should be available for occupation in the next 2 hours.

EZ Pad works great. I am the second customer of the local Cal Spa dealer here in Albuquerque that has used one. They said my install was pretty good and solid as compared to the other customer but that customer did not build a frame like I did and seems to have some sand "squirting out" the side.

Here's what I did:

- I built a 2x4 frame slightly bigger than what the assembled 8'x8' pad would be, about 1/4" on each side. I used Simpson L brackets to connect the 2x4's like another user of EZ Pads did.

- I pulled back all of my landscaping river rock, including the landscaping fabric and leveled the ground the frame would sit on. I replaced the landscaping fabric and placed the frame on top of that.

- I then filled the frame with thirty 50 lb bags of all purpose sand and screed/leveled it. That filled it to about 2 1/2" deep. I wanted my EZ Pad to sit a bit above the 2x4 frame, but not on the frame, to accommodate settling.

- I drilled a hole in one EZ Pad section for the electrical conduit based on where the Spa Dealer wanted it.

- I then assembled 3 sections of the EZ Pad leaving the section with the electrical connection unattached in case it needed to be re-drilled (it didn't). An important note here is that I still used all of the EZ Pad connectors and placed the unattached pad to them loosely without screwing them into that section. It fit perfectly and is secure.

- After the tub was installed, I placed fifteen 16" x 16" decorative pavers around 2 sides of the frame and pushed the landscaping river rock back up flush to nearly the top of the pavers.

I hope this helps future customers. I know I will be recommending it.

Sincerely,

Steve P.
