dANgER: RISk OF ElECTRICAl ShOCk

•  Install spa at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from all metal surfaces. A spa may be installed within 5 feet of a metal surface if each metal surface is permanently connected 

by a minimum No. 10 AWG solid copper conductor attached to the wire ground connector on the terminal box that is provided for this purpose if in accordance 

with National Electrical Code ANSI/NMFPA70-1993.

•  Do not permit any electrical appliances, such as a light, telephone, radio, or television within 5 feet (1.5 m) of a spa. Failure to maintain a safe distance may 

result in death or serious personal injury due to electrocution if the appliance should fall into the spa.

•  Install your spa in such a way that drainage is away from the electrical compartment and from all electrical components.

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.

dON’T:

•  Use the spa with the equipment compartment door removed.
•  Place electrical appliances within 5 feet (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

•  DO NOT sit in the filter compartment area. Sitting in this area can cause:      a) Restriction of Filter Pump suction/vacuum        b) Damage to components
  Both can result in bodily harm. Should damage occur to components in this area, replace immediately!
•  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.
•  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 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 with 

FrOG 

water care system  (3-5 ppm if not using 

FrOG

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 jet pump on for at least ten minutes after adding ANY spa water chemicals into the filter compartment.

•  Clean the filter cartridge 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 (98.6°F, 37ºC). 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.
