SAFETY PRECAUTIONS - READ CAREFULLY!
•
WARNING
— To reduce the risk of injury/illness. The water in a spa should never exceed 40°C (104°F). Lower water
temperatures are recommended for young children and when spa use exceeds 10 min. It is recommended to seek
medical advice before use. Operating temperatures between 38-40°C (100-104°F) are considered safe for a healthy
adult. The temperature can be programmed. Once cover is removed, water temperature may automatically drop as
heat is released through evaporation.
• For health & safety reasons, it is not safe for children under the age of 8 yrs to use a hot tub. Children using hot
tubs over the age of 8 yrs should only use the hot tub at a max temperature of 35°C (95°F) as children are less
able to regulate their body temperature.
• The user should check the water temperature before entering the spa.
•
Soaking in hot water during pregnancy can cause damage to the unborn foetus. If you have any specific concerns
please consult your doctor before continuing to use your hot tub.
•
People with the following traits are at higher risk and should consult a doctor before using CleverSpa
®x
, including
those with history of lung or heart disease, chronic respiratory or kidney disease, impaired immune system, low/
high blood pressure, circulatory system problems or diabetes. People using medication should consult their
doctor before using the CleverSpa
®
. Some medications may cause drowsiness, whilst other medication may affect
heart rate, blood pressure and circulation during use.
• The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa use may lead to unconsciousness, with the
possibility of drowning.
• Persons with any medical condition should seek medical advice before using a spa.
• Persons using medication should seek medical advice before using a spa since some medication may induce
drowsiness while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.
• Avoid putting the head under water at all times.
• Avoid swallowing spa water
• Immediately exit your CleverSpa® if you feel uncomfortable or sleepy.
CAUTION
• Regularly monitor and appropriately treat the water in your hot tub using the recommended chemicals.
•
Always add chemicals to a jug of water (not the other way around) to avoid strong fumes or violent reactions
that may result in a hazardous chemical spray. This will also help prevent the inside of the hot tub from becoming
discoloured.
•
Legionnaires’ disease can be contracted by inhaling small droplets of water (called aerosols), which are
suspended in the air and contain the bacteria. Certain conditions increase the risk of Legionella if the water
temperature is between 20-45°C (68
o
F-113
o
F), which is suitable for growth of the bacteria. Deposits that can
support bacterial growth providing a source of nutrients for the organism e.g. rust, sludge, scale, organic matter
and biofilms (from the body).
•
Hot tub rash, or folliculitis, is a skin infection with symptoms including itchy red spots on the skin or pus-filled
blisters around hair follicles. To avoid this, ensure your Chlorine and pH levels are checked at least twice per
day using test strips - hot tubs with good disinfectant and pH control are less likely to spread germs. For more

•
Shower before using your CleverSpa
®
. Fake tan, suncream and other cosmetic products, can degrade water
quality and block the filter.
•
Blocked filters can damage your pump and heater, which could ultimately cause it to break. Clean your filters
regularly, rotating 2-3 filters, in order to always have a clean filter to hand. See filter cleaning tips page 13.
•
Extreme temperature fluctuations can be caused by blocked filters when the motor is unable to draw enough
water into the system. A small amount of water will still remain in the heating reservoir (approx 300ml).
Although the thermostat will turn the element off once the set temperature is reached, the residual heat from
the element will continue to heat the small amount of water in the reservoir until the heating element has
cooled. This may cause the control panel to display an artificially high reading, not reflecting the actual water
temperature. The hot tub is fitted with an ‘Overheat Protection’ function which will activate the HL error code
and a warning beep. See error codes for solution.
