Installation Manual
Section 1. Important Safety Instructions
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
All electrical work must be performed by a licensed electrician and conform to all national, state, and local
codes. When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
WARNING
Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of
the body reaches a level several degrees above the normal body temperature of 37°C. The symptoms of hyperthermia
include dizziness, fainting, drowsiness, lethargy, and an increase in the internal temperature of the body. The effects of
hyperthermia include: 1) unawareness of impending danger; 2) failure to perceive heat; 3) failure to recognize the need to
exit spa; 4) physical inability to exit spa; 5) fetal damage in pregnant women; 6) unconsciousness resulting in a danger of
drowning.
DANGER
To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, do not remove the suction fittings of your spa or hot tub. Never operate a spa
or hot tub if the suction fittings are broken or missing. Never replace a suction fitting with one rated less than the flow rate
marked on the equipment assembly.
WARNING
To Reduce the Risk of Injury -
a) The water in a spa should never exceed 40°C. Water temperatures should remain between 38°C and 40°C. The water in
a 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 young children and when spa use exceeds 10 minutes.
b) Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during the early months of
pregnancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit spa water temperatures to 38°C. Before entering a spa
or hot tub, the user should measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of water
temperature-regulating devices varies.
d) The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa or hot tub use may lead to unconsciousness with the
possibility of drowning.
e) Obese persons and persons with a history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems,
or diabetes should consult a physician before using a spa.
f) Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a spa or hot tub since some medication may induce
drowsiness while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.
WARNING
Risk of electric shock -
Install at least 3.5 metres from the inside wall of the pool and/or hot tub using non-metallic
plumbing.
Do not use spas or hot tubs unless all suction guards are installed to prevent body and hair entrapment.
People using medications and/or having an adverse medical history should consult a physician before using a spa or hot
tub.
