SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - READ CAREFULLY!
•
SUPPORTING THE HOT TUB -
There is a requirement that the support materials shall be strong enough to
support the maximum design load of the spa, spa water and bathers. Recommendation to ask a qualified
contractor or a structural engineer to verify this requirement. Special attention should be given where the spa
is to be installed on a suspended floor (e.g. balcony, decking and roof terrace). In these instances the client/
consumer shall be advised of the full load weight of the spa, including any fixtures and fittings (e.g. gazebo), so
that they can obtain structural calculations from a structural engineer.
• The surface must be smooth, flat, level and capable of evenly supporting the weight of the CleverSpa®, water and
users e.g. 6 Person Square CleverSpa® filled weight: 980kg (approx) plus combined weight of occupants. It is the
responsibility of the CleverSpa® owner to assure integrity of the site at all times.
•
Insulate the base of the hot tub, using a foam mat, to reduce heat loss.
•
Ensure the area is free of sharp objects under or around the hot tub.
• Consider the best placement of the hot tub to allow for draining of the water during disassembly.
•
Ensure there is adequate drainage to deal with any overflow of water.
• Consideration for positioning of the spa to minimize noise disturbance as much as possible.
•
Dirt entering the hot tub could cause damage to the hot tub floor and could cause the filter to block.
•
DO NOT OVERINFLATE YOUR HOT TUB
- Air space needs to be left inside the wall of the hot tub to allow
for air expansion (during warmer weather) and contraction (during colder weather).
Do not place your hot tub in direct sunlight.
If this advice is ignored, the wall and rim of the hot tub could bulge during warmer weather as the PVC heats
up, putting additional stress on the internal welds, this causes weld failures.
In both of these instances, the warranty would be void. (See page 14 showing correct inflation).
• If applicable, requirements for protecting the spa from direct sunlight exposure when not in use, and the means
provided or recommended for it.
• Do not switch on if there is any possibility that water in the CleverSpa® or control system is frozen.
•
Your hot tub is fitted with 365 FreezeGuard Technology, to help prevent water freezing and to protect your
pump & heating system during colder weather. This is activated by pressing the 365 Freezeguard button on
your control panel.
•
During colder weather the hot tub should only be kept outside if the 365 FreezeGuard feature has been activated.
Failure to do this could cause water to freeze within the pump & heating system causing irreparable damage, thus
voiding your warranty.
• Do not attempt to lift or drag the hot tub after filling it with water.
• Check the set water temperature and consider lowering it for the times when the spa will typically not be in use.
• Depending on external conditions, consider turning off the heater entirely if not using the spa for an extended
period of time (where the spa provides this option, but still maintains residual disinfection/pH-values).
• Consider that the comfortable temperature range during use may be lower than the maximum safe temperature.
• For above ground portable spas without floor insulation, consider using an insulating ground cloth underneath
the spa to minimize heat loss through the bottom of the spa.
• Maintain clean filters to preserve appropriate working conditions for the pump and avoid unnecessary water
replacement and re-heating.
• Water in the hot tub should never exceed 40°C (104°F). Operating temperatures between 38-40°C (100-104°F)
are considered safe for a healthy adult. We recommend lower temperatures when using the hot tub for longer
than 10 continuous minutes. The temperature can be programmed. Once cover is removed, water temperature
may automatically drop as heat is released through evaporation.
• In the absence of automated and/or continuous water treatment (measurement and chemical dosage) any
manual dosing of chemicals shall not be performed while bathers are present in the spa.
