AquaTerra Benicia, Owner'S Manual

WARNING:

The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in hot 

tubs and spas.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY:

•  The water in the spa should never exceed 40°C. Water temperatures between 38°C and 40°C are 

considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended for extended use 

(exceeding 10 minutes) and for young children. Extended use can cause hyperthermia.

•  Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit spa water temperatures to 38°C. Failure to do so 

may result in permanent injury to your baby.

•  Do not use spa immediately following strenuous exercise.

AVOIDING THE RISK OF SKIN BURNS:

•  To reduce the risk of injury, before entering a spa the user should measure the water temperature 

with an accurate thermometer. 

•  Test the water with your hand before entering the spa to be sure it’s comfortable.

SAFETY SIGN

A SAFETY SIGN in the owner’s package. The sign, which is required as a condition of Product 

Listing, should be permanently installed where it is visible to the users of the spa.

IMPORTANT SPA INSTRUCTIONS

The following contains important spa information, and we strongly encourage you to read and 

apply them.

DO:

•  Use and lock the vinyl cover when the spa is not in use, whether it is empty or full.
•  Follow the Spa Care and Maintenance recommendations stated in this manual.
•  Use only approved accessories and recommended spa chemicals and cleaners.

DON’T:

•  Leave the spa exposed to the sun without water or the vinyl cover in place. Exposure to direct 

sunlight can cause solar distress of the shell material.

•  Roll or slide the spa on its side. This will damage the siding.
•  Lift or drag the cover by using the cover lock straps; always lift or carry the cover by using the handles.
•  Attempt to open the electrical control box. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Opening of the 

control box by the spa owner will void the warranty. If you have an operational problem, carefully go 

through the steps outlined in the Troubleshooting section. If you are not able to resolve the problem, 

contact Blue Wave Spas Technical Support. Many problems can easily be diagnosed over the 

telephone by an Authorized Service Technician.
