MANUFACTURER’S WARNINGS
In addition to the Safety Instructions found in this manual, these warnings have been assembled to help
you enjoy the use of your Softub. Reading and understanding these warnings will allow you to reduce
the risk of causing inadvertent damage to your Softub, your surroundings or yourself. Read these
warnings carefully.
•
The water level must be 5 cm (2 inches) above the highest jet. The jets can spray water out of the tub
if the water level becomes too low and cause the HydroMate
®
to overheat and void the warranty.
•
Always unplug your HydroMate
®
before draining and while filling.
•
Use only approved accessories. Use of non-approved accessories could void the warranty.
•
Maintain proper water pH (minimum of 7.2), the vinyl liner can be damaged by a combination of high
sanitizer and low pH.
•
NEVER use an extension cord to connect the HydroMate
®
to the power supply cord. Using an
extension cord will void your warranty.
•
Do not operate without a GFCI located on the power supply cord. This safety device shuts off the
power immediately in the event of an electrical short.
•
Install the Softub only on floors or areas that can withstand repeated exposure to water (tile, brick).
Splashing, dripping, filling and draining are routine operations, which spill water. Equipment failure may
also cause substantial water spillage. Care must be taken that the structure underneath the Softub will
not warp or suffer damage in the event of a water spill. If located in a multiple floor structure, objects on
the floor below should be protected in the event of a major spill.
•
NEVER use sharp objects in or around the Softub. Sharp objects may puncture the vinyl.
•
Handle the HydroMate
®
gently. The components inside may incur damage if dropped.
•
Certain objects reflect and concentrate the sun
’ s rays. Close proximity of the Softub to such objects
should be avoided or damage may incur.
•
Do not open the HydroMate
®
. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Opening this component will
void the warranty.
•
Pets should be kept away from the Softub to avoid damage.
•
A
Softub Exterior Tub Cover
is highly recommended if installing your Softub outdoors. Failure to do
so may cause premature permanent damage to the vinyl and other components and void warranty to
those components.
•
Do not install the Softub where infestation of insects or rodents may occur.
•
Children should not use the Softub without adult supervision.
