IMPORTANT  SAFETY  INSTRUCTIONS 

 

When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following: 

 

1.

 

READ  AND  FOLLOW  ALL  INSTRUCTIONS 

2.  DANGER - Risk of Accidental Drowning.  Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent unauthorized access by children.  To avoid 

accidents, ensure that children cannot use this spa unless they are supervised at all times.

 

 

3.  DANGER - Risk of Injury.  The suction fittings in this spa are sized to match the specific water flow created by the pump.  Should 

the need arise to replace the suction fittings or the pump, be sure that the flow rates are compatible.  Never operate the spa if the 

suction fittings are broken or missing.  Never replace a suction fitting with one rated less than the flow rate marked on the original 

fitting.  

4.  DANGER - Risk of Electric Shock.  Install at least 5 feet (1.52 m) from all metal surfaces.  As an alternative, a spa may be installed 

within 5 feet of metal surfaces if each metal surface is permanently connected by a minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm2) solid copper 

conductor to the wire connector on the terminal box that is provided for this purpose.  

5.  DANGER - Risk of Electric Shock.  Do not permit any electric appliance, such as a light, telephone, radio, or television, within 5 feet 

(1.52 m) of a spa.  

6.  WARNING – To reduce the risk of injury, the water in the spa should never exceed 104°F (40°C).  Water temperatures between 

100°F (38°C) and 104°F (40°C) are considered safe for a healthy adult for a 10-to-15 minute time period.  Lower water tempera-

tures are recommend for extended use (exceeding 10-15 minutes) and for younger adults/children.  

7.  WARNING – To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times.  
8.  A wire connector is provided on this unit to connect a minimum No. 8

 

AWG (8.4mm2) solid copper conductor between this unit and 

any metal equipment, metal enclosures of electrical equipment, metal water pipe, or conduit within 5 feet (1.52 m) of the unit.  

9.  Excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during pregnancy.  Pregnant women should limit spa 

water temperatures to 100°F (38°C) and only use the spa under the direction of a licensed physician.  

10.  The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa use may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.  
11.  Persons taking medication should consult a licensed physician before entering the spa.  
12.  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 licensed physician before entering the spa.  

13.  CAUSES,  SYMPTOMS  AND  EFFECTS  OF  HYPERTHERMIA  -  Hyperthermia  occurs  when  the internal  temperature of  the  body 

reaches a level several degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6° F. The symptoms of hyperthermia include an increase 

in the internal temperature of the body, dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness, and fainting. The effects of hyperthermia include (1) failure 

to perceive heat, (2) failure to recognize the need to exit spa, (3) unawareness of impending hazard, (4) fetal damage in pregnant 

women, (5) physical inability to exit the spa, (6) unconsciousness resulting in the danger of drowning.

 

 

14.  The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia.

 

 

15.  During winter months where the temperature is consistently below freezing, check your spa periodically to ensure that it is operating 

correctly and that the power to the spa has not been interrupted as to protect the water lines from freezing.

 

 

16.  Do not use your spa alone.

 

 

17.  People with infectious diseases should not use the spa.

 

 

18.  To avoid injury, use care when entering or exiting the spa.

 

 

19.  Do not use the spa immediately following strenuous exercise.

 

 

20.  Maintain proper water chemistry in accordance to manufacturers’ instruction.
