DO
Make sure the spa is connected to a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) pro-
tected circuit. This GFCI is required by the National Electrical Code (NEC). and
must be installed by licensed electrician. Test the GFCI monthly.

Test the water with your hand before entering the spa to be sure it is comfort a b l e .

Remember that wet surfaces can be slippery. Take care when entering and exit-

Extended hi-speed pump operation will cause a slow heat build-up due to water
friction, which could trip the spa’s hi-limit thermostat.
