This manual contains information and instructions for proper operation and maintenance of your bath.  Failure to follow these 

instructions could result in personal injury, electrical shock or fire.

INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS.

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS

!

   

!

 

Do not permit children to use this unit unless they are closely supervised by an adult at all times. Supervision 

is also required when the bath is used by an elderly or handicapped individual.

!

   

!

 

Use this unit only for its intended purpose as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not recommended 

by the manufacturer. Never drop or insert any object into any opening.

!

   

!

 

Do not operate this unit without guard over the suction fitting.

The water in a whirlpool should never exceed 40˚ C (104˚ F). Water temperatures between 38˚ C (100˚ F) and 40˚ 

C (104˚ F) are considered safe for a healthy adult. Use time should be limited to approximately 10 minutes, fol-

lowed by a shower to cool down. Longer exposures may result in hyperthermia, which can be fatal. The symptoms 

of this condition are nausea, dizziness and fainting. Lower water temperatures are recommended for extended use 

(exceeding 10 - 15 minutes) and for young children. 

!

   

!

 

Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during the early months of preg-

nancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit bath water temperatures to 38˚ C (100˚ F).

!

   

!

 

The use of drugs or alcoholic beverages before or during hydrotherapy bath use may lead to unconsciousness with 

the possibility of drowning. Never use the hydrotherapy bath while under the influence of alcohol, anticoagulants, 

stimulants, antihistamines, vasoconstrictors, vasodilators, hypnotics, narcotics or tranquilizers.

!

   

!

 

Persons with a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabe-

tes should consult a physician before using a hydrotherapy bath.

!

   

!

 

Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a hydrotherapy bath since medication may induce 

drowsiness, affect heart rate, blood pressure and circulation.

!

   

!

 

DANGER

: To reduce the risk of injury, enter and exit the bath slowly.

!

   

!

 

WARNING

: Never operate electrically connected devices in or within 5' of the bath. Never drop or insert any object 

into any opening within the hydrotherapy bath.

DANGER

: Risk of electric shock. Connect only to circuits protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). Such 

a device should be installed by a licensed electrician and should  be tested on a regular basis (at least monthly). To 

test the GFCI push the TEST button. The GFCl should interrupt the power. Push the RESET button and the power 

should be restored. lf the GFCI fails to operate in this manner there is the possibility of an electric shock. DO NOT 

USE. Disconnect the unit and have the problem corrected by a qualified service technician. To avoid the possibility of 

personal injury and discoloration of the acrylic surface, the inlet water temperature should not exceed 60˚ C (140˚ F).
