RISKS TO AVOID
DANGER - RISK OF INJURY
To reduce the risk of injury to persons, DO NOT remove suction
fittings (filter standpipes) located in the filter compartment.
The suction fittings in the spa are sized to match the specific water
flow created by the pump. 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, long hair, or hanging jewelry
away from rotating jets or other moving components.
INCREASED SIDE EFFECTS OF MEDICATION
The use of drugs, alcohol may cause 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:
Free Available Chlorine:
3.0-5.0 ppm
Total Alkalinity:
40-120 ppm
Water pH:
7.2-7.8
Calcium Hardness:
50-150 ppm
Refer to Water Quality and Maintenance section for complete
instructions.
IMPORTANT:
Turn on the jet pump for a least ten minutes after adding
ANY spa water chemicals into the filter compartment.
Clean the filter cartridges 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 (104°F). Water
temperatures between 36°C and 40°C (100°F and 104°F) 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.
Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit spa water
temperatures to 36°C (100°F). Failure to do so may result in
permanent injury to your baby.
Do not use spa immediately following strenuous exercise.
AVOIDING THE RISK OF SKIN BURNS
To reduce the risk of injury, before entering a spa the user should
measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer.
Test the water with your hand before entering the spa to be sure it’s
comfortable.

CALDERA

package. The sign, which is required as a condition of Product Listing,
should be permanently installed where it is visible to the users of the spa.
