DO:
•
Be sure your spa is connected to the power supply correctly - use a licensed electrical contractor.
•
Disconnect the spa from the power supply before draining the spa or servicing the electrical components.
•
Test the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter(s) before each use.
•
Replace audio components only with identical components (if your spa is equipped with an audio component).
DON’T:
•
Use the spa with the equipment compartment door removed.
•
Place electrical appliances within 1.5m of the spa.
•
Use an extension cord to connect the spa to its power source. The cord may not be properly grounded and the connection is a shock hazard. An extension
cord may cause a voltage drop, which will cause overheating of the jet pump motor and motor damage.
•
Attempt to open the electrical control box. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
RISKS TO AVOID
DANGER: RISK OF INJURY
•
To reduce the risk of injury to persons, DO NOT remove floating weir, basket and filter located in the filter compartment while the spa is running.
•
Never replace a suction fitting with one rated less than the flow rate marked on the original suction fitting.
•
There is a danger of slipping and falling. Remember that wet surfaces can be very slippery. Take care when entering or exiting the spa.
•
Never operate spa if the suction fittings are broken or missing.
•
People with infectious diseases should not use the spa.
•
Keep any loose articles of clothing or hanging jewelry away from rotating jets or other moving components.
INCREASED SIDE EFFECTS OF MEDICATION
•
The use of drugs, alcohol or medication before or during spa use may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
•
Persons using medications should consult a physician before using a spa; some medication may cause a user to become drowsy, while other medication may
affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.
•
Persons taking medications which induce drowsiness, such as tranquilizers, antihistamines, or anticoagulants should not use the spa.
HEALTH PROBLEMS AFFECTED BY SPA USE
•
Pregnant women should consult a physician before using spa.
•
Persons suffering from obesity, or with a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes should consult a
physician before using spa.
UNCLEAN WATER
•
Keep the water clean and sanitized with correct chemical care. The recommended levels for your
CALDERA
spa are:
Bromine:
1.0 - 2.0 ppm
Water pH:
7.2 - 7.6
Total Alkalinity:
40 - 120 ppm
Calcium Hardness:
50 - 150 ppm
(Refer to Water Quality and Maintenance section for complete instructions.)
IMPORTANT:
Turn on the clean cycle when adding ANY spa water chemicals into or in front of the filter compartment.
•
Clean the filter cartridge at least monthly to remove debris and mineral buildup which may affect the performance of the hydromassage jets, limit the flow, or
trip the high limit thermostat, which will turn off the entire spa.
AVOIDING THE RISK OF HYPERTHERMIA
Prolonged immersion in hot water can result in HYPERTHERMIA, a dangerous condition which occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level above
normal (37°C). The symptoms of hyperthermia include unawareness of impending hazard, failure to perceive heat, failure to recognize the need to exit the spa, physical
inability to exit the spa, fetal damage in pregnant women, and unconsciousness resulting in a danger of drowning.
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 ten minutes) and for young children. Extended use can cause hyperthermia.
