mowers, hedge trimmers, and other equipment.

• 

DANGER - 

Risk of Accidental Drowning (especially children 

under 5 years). Caution shall be exercised to prevent 

unauthorized access to the spa by children. This can be reached 

by adult supervisor securing the means of access or installing a 

safety protection device to the spa. To avoid accidents during 

spa use, ensure that children are kept under constant adult 

supervision.

• 

DANGER - 

Risk of Injury. The suction fittings in this spa are 

sized to match the specific water flow created by the pump. 

Should the need arise to replace the suction fittings or the pump, 

be sure that the flow rates are compatible. Never operate the 

spa if the suction fittings are broken or missing. Never replace a 

suction fitting with one rated less than the flow rate marked on 

the original suction fitting.

• RISK OF INJURY. 

Never operate spa if inlet / outlet pipes are 

broken or missing. Never attempt to replace the inlet / outlet 

pipes. Always consult your local Aftersales centre.

• 

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. 

Install at least 2m from all metal 

surfaces.

• RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.

 Never operate any electrical 

appliance when  in your spa or when your body is wet. Never 

place any electric appliance, such as a light, telephone, radio, or 

television, within 2m of spa.

• During pregnancy, soaking in hot water may cause damage to 

the fetus. Limit use to 10 minutes at a time.

• 

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY:

A. 

The water in a spa should never exceed 40°C (104°F). Water 

temperature between 38°C (100°F) and 40°C (104°F) is 

considered safe and comfortable 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 

temperature to 38°C (100°F).

C.

 Before entering a spa, the user should measure the water 

temperature with an accurate thermometer since the 

tolerance of water temperature regulating device varies.

D.

 The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa 

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 since some medication may induce drowsiness 

while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, 

and circulation.

G.

 Avoid putting the head under water at all times.

H.

 Avoid swallowing spa water.

• TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY: 

Never pour water with a 

temperature higher than 40°C (104°F) into the spa pool directly.

• The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the 

risk of fatal hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the 

internal temperature of the body reaches a level that is several 

degrees above the normal body temperature of 37°C (98.6°F). 

The symptoms of hyperthermia include an increase in the 

internal temperature of the body, dizziness, lethargy, 

drowsiness, and fainting. The effects of hyperthermia include 

failure to perceive heat; failure to recognize the need to exit spa 

or hot tub; unawareness of impending hazard; fetal damage in 

pregnant women; physical inability to exit the spa or hot tub; and 

unconsciousness resulting in the danger of drowning.

• Electric installations should follow national wiring rules, consult a 

qualified electrician with any questions.

• These warnings, instructions, and safety guidelines address 

some common risks of water recreation, but they cannot cover 

all risks and dangers in all cases. Always use caution, common 

sense, and good judgment when enjoying any water activity. 

Retain this information for future use. In addition, the following 

information can be supplied depending on the spa type:

   Non Swimmers safety

   - Continuous, active, and vigilant supervision of weak swimmers 

and non-swimmers especially in exercise spas, by a 

competent adult is required at all times (remembering that 

children under five years of age are at the highest risk of 

drowning).

   - Designate a competent adult to supervise the spa each time it 

is being used.

   - Weak swimmers or non-swimmers should wear personal 

protection equipment, especially when using the exercise spa.

   - When the spa is not in use, or unsupervised, remove all toys 

from the spa and its surrounding area to avoid attracting 

children to the spa.

   Safety devices

   - A safety cover or other safety protection device shall be used, 

or all doors and windows (where applicable) shall be secured 

to prevent unauthorized access to the spa.

   - Barriers, covers, alarms, or similar safety devices are helpful 

aids, but they are not substitutes for continuous and competent 

adult supervision.

   Safety equipment

   - It is recommended to keep rescue equipment (e.g. a ring buoy) 

by the spa (if appropriate).

   - Keep a working phone and a list of emergency phone numbers 

near the spa.

   Safe use of the spa

   - Encourage all users especially children to learn how to swim.

   - Learn Basic Life Support (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation - 

CPR) and refresh this knowledge regularly. This can make a 

life-saving difference in the event of an emergency.

   - Instruct all spa users, including children, what to do in case of 

an emergency.

   - Never dive into any shallow body of water. This can lead to 

serious injury or death.

   - Do not use the spa when using alcohol or medication that may 

impair the bather's ability to safely use the spa.

   - When covers are used, remove them completely from the 

water surface before entering the spa.

   - Protect spa occupants from water related illnesses by advising 

them to keep water treated and practicing good hygiene. 

Consult the water treatment guidelines in the user's manual.

   - Store chemicals out of the reach of children.

   - Use the signage provided on the spa or within 2 000 mm of the 

spa in a prominent visible position.

   - Removable ladders, when removed, shall be stored safely 

where children cannot climb on it.

CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN FOR RECOMMENDATIONS.

CAUTION:

• We strongly recommend not to unfold and inflate the spa if the 

ambient temperature is below 15°C(59°F). We suggest inflating 

the spa indoors, and then continuing set up outdoors. If the 

outdoor temperature is lower than 6°C(42.8°F), the spa heater 

must always be on. In this mode, the Freeze Shield™ system 

can keep the internal temperature between 6°C(42.8°F) and 

10°C(50°F) to prevent damage, such as water freezing in the 

pipes or the circulation system. 

Important: 

If the Freeze Shield™ system isn’t working, alarms 

will pop up on the spa. Be sure to check the status of your spa 

if the outdoor temperature is below 6°C(42.8°F). In case of a 

long-term absence from home when there is a risk of 

temperatures falling below 6°C(42.8°F), we strongly suggest 

disassembling the spa and storing it following the storage 

procedure.

• Do not use the spa alone.

• People with infectious diseases should not use a spa.

• Do not use the spa immediately following strenuous exercise.

• Always enter and exit the spa slowly and cautiously. Wet 

surfaces are slippery.

• To avoid damage to the pump, the spa must never be operated 

unless the spa is filled with water.

• Immediately leave spa if the user feels uncomfortable or 

sleepy.

• Never add water to chemicals. Always add chemicals to water 

to avoid strong fumes or violent reactions that may result in 

hazardous chemical spray.

• Regarding the information pertaining to cleaning, maintenance 

of water, and disposal of water, please see section 

"MAINTENANCE". 

• Regarding the information pertaining to the installation, thanks 

to refer to the below paragraph of the manual.

NOTE:

• Please examine equipment before use. Notify Bestway at the 

customer service address listed on this manual for any 

damaged or missing parts at the time of purchase. Verify that 

the equipment components represent the models that you had 

intended to purchase.

• This product is not intended for commercial use.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

SELECTED LOCATION

Indoor and outdoor & above ground & portable wiring & 

portable spa

WARNING:

 The selected location has to be able to support 

of supporting the expected load.

WARNING:

 An adequate drainage system has to be provided 

to deal with overflow water for both indoor and outdoor 

installations.

• Always keep the spa cover on to minimize heat loss during 

heating of the spa between uses (but not while it is being 

used). Ensure the cover is fitted tightly, as per instructions 

to maximize insulation. It shall be recommended that the 

cover, when not in use, should be kept off the ground to 

retain its cleanliness (particularly the surface in close 

proximity to the water spa water surface). The cover should 

be stored in an appropriate location, where it cannot be 

damaged, or cause damage.

• Check the set water temperature and consider lowering it 

for the times when the spa will typically not be in use.

• Depending on external conditions, consider turning off the 

heater entirely if not using the spa for an extended period of 

time (where the spa provides this option, but still maintains 

residual disinfection/pH-values).

• It is recommended to use an insulating ground cloth 

underneath the spa to minimize heat loss through the 

bottom of the spa.

• Maintain clean filters to preserve appropriate working 

conditions for the pump and avoid unnecessary water 

replacement and re-heating.

• Keep the spa away from the rest area to minimize noise 

disturbance.

• Recommended to ask a qualified contractor or a structural 

engineer to verify if the support material is strong enough to 

support the maximum design load of the spa, spa water 

and bathers. Read the filled weight information on the 

package.

• Please keep at least 1m clearance around the spa.

• Consult your local government authority for water 

regulations related to convenient water supply for filling the 

spa.

• Recommended to consult experts and/or local authorities to 

apply local or national laws/regulations relating to childproof 

fencing, safety barriers, lighting, and other safety 

requirements.

• Do not put the cover on the ground or any other dirty 

surface when not in place on the spa.

• When the spa is being used, the cover should be placed in 

a clean, dry area, otherwise it can pick up dirt and bacteria. 

Covers should not be put on wooden tables or wooden 

decking because of the risk of bleaching the wood. A cover 

lifter, or similar device, is useful for ensuring that the cover 

does not come into contact with the ground. A cover lifter is 

strongly recommended for spas in rental settings.

IMPORTANT:

 Because of the combined weight of the 

Lay-Z-Spa, water, and users, it is extremely important that 

the base where the Lay-Z-Spa is installed is smooth, flat, 

level and capable of uniformly supporting the weight for the 

entire time the Lay-Z-Spa is installed (not on the carpet or 

other similar material). If the Lay-Z-Spa is placed on a 

surface, which does not meet these requirements, any 

damage caused by improper support is not covered under 

the manufacturer’s warranty. It is the responsibility of the 

Lay-Z-Spa owner to assure the integrity of the site at all 

times.

1. Indoor Installation:

Be aware of special requirements if you install the spa 

indoors.

• Humidity is a natural side effect with Lay-Z-Spa installation. 

Determine the effects of airborne moisture on exposed 

wood, paper, etc. in the proposed location. To minimize 

these effects it is best to provide plenty of ventilation to the 

selected area. An architect can help determine if more 

ventilation is needed.

• Consult your local government authority for installation 

regulations.

• Keep suitable air treatment in the spa chamber (ventilation 

and dehumidification) regularly to preserve the bathers’ 

safety and comfort .

• Do not to install the spa on carpet or other floor materials 

(e.g. untreated cork, timber or other porous materials) that 

promote or harbour moisture and bacteria, or that could be 

affected by water treatment chemicals used in the spa.

• Empty the spa before remove it from the chamber or 

building.

2. Outdoor Installation:

• During filling, draining or when in use, water may flow out of 

the spa. Therefore the Lay-Z-Spa should be installed near a 

floor drain.

• Do not leave the spa's surface exposed to direct sunlight for 

long periods of time.

• Consult your local professional installers for environmental 

conditions, such as ground water and risk of frost.

• Recommended to protecting the spa from direct sunlight 

exposure by a cover when not in use.
