Important Safety Instructions
When installing and using this electrical equipment, always follow basic safety precautions. Following these
instructions will help make your first spa session a pleasurable one.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
All 120V spas require a DEDICATED 20 AMP GFCI SERVICE. Do not use extension cords.
NOTE:
A licensed electrician may be required to upgrade your standard receptacle and/or circuit breaker.

DANGER
-- RISK OF ACCIDENTAL DROWNING:
Do not allow children to be in or around a spa unless
a responsible adult supervises them. Keep the spa cover on and locked when not in use. See instructions
enclosed with your cover for locking procedures.
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 the flow rates are
compatible.
DANGER
-- RISK OF INJURY:
Never operate the spa if the suction fitting or filter baskets are broken or
missing.
DANGER
-- RISK OF INJURY:
Never replace a suction fitting with one that is rated less than the flow rate
marked on the original suction fitting.
DANGER -- RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK:
Install the spa at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) from all metal
surfaces. As an alternative, a spa may be installed within 5 feet of metal surfaces if each metal surface is
permanently bonded by a minimum #8 AWG solid copper conductor to the outside of the spa’s control box.
DANGER
-- RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK:
Do not permit any external electrical appliances, such as
lights, telephones, radios, televisions, and etc., within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of the spa. Never attempt to operate
any electrical device from inside the spa. This does not apply to lights, stereos and televisions that are built in
to the spa as factory options from Cal Spas™.
WARNING -- RISK OF INJURY
•
The spa water should never exceed 104˚F (40˚C). Water temperatures between 100˚F (38˚C) and 104˚F
(40˚C) are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended for young
children and when spa use exceeds 10 minutes.
•
High water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during pregnancy. Women who are
pregnant, or who think they are pregnant, should always check with their physician prior to spa usage.
•
The use of alcohol, drugs or medication before or during spa use may lead to unconsciousness, with the
possibility of drowning.
•
Persons suffering from obesity, a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory
system problems or diabetes should consult a physician before using the spa.
•
Persons using medications should consult a physician before using the spa since some medications may
induce drowsiness while others may affect heart rate, blood pressure and circulation.
