WARNINGS – SAFETY INSTALLATION 

• The spa must be supplied through an isolating transformer 

or supplied through a residual current device (RCD) having 

a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30mA.

• The spa must be supplied by an earthed power source.

• The power source on the wall of building should be more 

than 4m away from the pool.

• The spa must be connected to a grounded mains supply 

socket with a supply cord fitted with a plug and PRCD with 

a tripping current of 10mA.

• The SPA must only be plugged directly into an earthed 

socket-outlet of the fixed wiring.

• It is necessary to have the plug accessible after installation 

of the spa.

• Electric installations should follow national wiring rules, 

consult a qualified electrician with any questions.

• Do not bury cord. Locate cord to minimize abuse from 

lawnmowers, hedge trimmers, and other equipment. 

CAUTION:

 In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent 

resetting of the thermal cut-out, this appliance must not be 

supplied through an external switching device, such as a 

timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on 

and off by the utility.

• Read the instructions before using the appliance and 

installation or reassembly every time.

WARNINGS - RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

TO AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT USE THE SPA

• Don't use extension cord to connect unit to electric supply; 

provide a properly located outlet.

• Don’t plug or unplug the appliance if your hand is wet.

• 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 

the spa. 

• Install at least 2m from all metal surfaces.

• No part of the appliance is to be located above the 

  bath during use.

• Parts containing live parts, except parts supplied with safety 

extra-low voltage not exceeding 12V, must be inaccessible 

to a person in spa pool; Parts incorporating electrical 

components, except remote control devices, must be 

located or fixed so that they cannot fall into the spa pool.

• For electric safety, a PRCD is incorporated in the power 

cord. If the current leakage is detected more than10mA, the 

device will operate and cut-off the power supply. In such 

case, please unplug and stop using the spa at once. Don’t 

repair the product by yourself. Visit our website 

www.bestwaycorp.com to get the necessary information.

• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the 

manufacture, service agent or similarly qualified persons in 

order to avoid a hazard.

• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use extension 

cord to connect unit to electric supply; provide a properly 

located outlet.

WARNINGS - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY

• 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.

• 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). Limit use to 

  10 minutes at a time.

• If you feel the water is too hot, before entering a spa, the 

user should measure the water temperature with an 

accurate thermometer. If the water temperature is above 

45°C (113°F), stop use of the spa until the temperature is 

reduced to under 40°C (104°F). When using an external 

thermometer, the temperature showed on the control panel 

and the external thermometer may be different. The 

difference should be around 3 degrees. This situation is 

normal due to the different location where the two 

instruments read the temperature.

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

spa use may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of 

drowning.

• Obese people and people with a history of heart disease, 

low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or 

diabetes should consult a physician before using a spa.

• People 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.

• Avoid putting your head under the water at all times.

• Avoid swallowing spa water.

• Consider that the comfortable temperature range during use 

may be lower than the maximum safe temperature.

• Never operate the spa if inlet/outlet pipes are broken or 

missing. Never attempt to replace the inlet/outlet pipes. Visit 

our website www.bestwaycorp.com to get the necessary 

information.

• Never pour water with a temperature higher than 40°C (104°F) 

into the spa pool directly.

• Do not use the spa alone.

• People with infectious diseases should not use a spa.

• Do not use the spa immediately following strenuous 

exercise.

• Immediately leave the spa if you feel uncomfortable or 

sleepy.

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

surfaces are slippery.

• The pump must be tested before each use. To test, follow 

the instructions of pump.

• Always keep plug dry, plug in with wet plug is definitely 

forbidden.

• Always unplug the appliance:

   - Before cleaning or other maintenance.

   - If leaving it unattended on holidays.

• Never wear your contact lenses when in your spa.

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.

CAUTION:

 After using your spa for 3-5 years, to ensure the 

safety and performance of the spa, the main components, 

such as the heating element, air blower motor and non-return 

valves have to be checked by a professional electrician. If the 

electrician finds problems during the inspection, visit our 

website www.bestwaycorp.com to get the necessary 

information.

WARNINGS – 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.

WARNINGS – SAFETY DEVICES AND EQUIPMENT

• 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.

• 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.

• It is 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.

WARNINGS – SAFE USE OF THE SPA

they have been given supervision or instruction concerning 

use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the 

hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. 

Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by 

children without supervision.

• Water attracts children; always attach a spa cover after 

  each use.

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.

WARNINGS - SAFE WATER MAINTENANCE AND 

CHEMICAL USE

• 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 the 

"MAINTENANCE" section.

• Do not use spa during chemical maintenance.

• Any manual dosing of chemicals shall not be performed 

while bathers are present in the spa.

• Consult your local government authority for water 

regulations related to convenient water supply for filling the 

spa.

WARNINGS - SAFE SETUP AND STORAGE

• We strongly recommend not to unfolding and inflating the 

spa if the ambient temperature is below 15°C (59°F). We 

suggest inflating the spa indoors, and then continuing to 

setup 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) and10°C (50°F) to 

prevent damage, such as water freezing in the pipes or the 

circulation system.

CAUTION:

 If alarms pop up on the spa, the Freeze Shield™ 

system will stop working. 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.

• When the appliance will be not used for a long time, such 

as in the winter, the spa or pool set should be disassembled 

and stored indoors.

• Do not to place the spa on a slippery surface and make 

sure the surface is free of sharp objects before installation.

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

operated unless the spa is filled with water.

• For safety reasons, only use the accessories provided or 

approved by the spa manufacturer.

• Regarding the information pertaining to the installation, refer 

to the following paragraph of the manual.

• Whenever the spa is emptied, the filter should be cleaned 

(and drained/dried, where applicable).

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

WARNINGS - PRCD

• Before inserting plug into a power outlet, make sure the 

current rate of the power outlet is suitable for the pump.

• Using an extension lead or multi plug adaptor with the spa 

heater can cause the plug to overheat, causing damage to the 

equipment and surrounding items. The spa is a class I 

electrical appliance and must be connected directly to a 

grounded socket. It is recommended to only use a socket 

which is resistant to humidity and capable of high-power 

loading. Regularly check the plug and socket for signs of 

damage before using the spa – do not use the spa if the plug 

or socket is damaged. If you are unsure about the quality of 

the electrical supply, please consult a qualified electrician 

before use.

• The PRCD plug must be tested before each use to avoid risk 

of electric shock.

• Do not use the pump if this test fails. For assistance, please
