IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be adhered to,

including the following:

1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

2. WARNING: To Reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are

closely supervised at all times.

3. 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 siding, metal sliding doors, metal rails, metal water pipe, or conduit within 5 feet (1.5m) of the

unit.

4. 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.

5. 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 your 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 suction

fitting.

6. DANGER: Risk of electric shock. Install at least 5 feet (1.5m) 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 (8.4mm2) solid copper conductor to the wire

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

7. DANGER: Risk of electric shock. Do not permit any electric appliance, such as a light, telephone,

IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be adhered to,

including the following:

1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

2. Read and follow all General Safety Instructions provided on pg. 4.

3. A terminal marked "GROUND" is provided within the motor control enclosure. To reduce the risk

of electrical shock, connect this terminal to the grounding terminal of the electric supply panel with

a continuous green insulated copper wire equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying this

equipment.

4. This equipment must be provided with a ground fault circuit interrupter located in the power

supply panel as installed by an electrician. Before each use of your spa, with the power turned on,

push the test button. A red indicator should appear. Push the reset button, and the red indicator

should disappear. IF THE INTERRUPTER FAILS TO OPERATE IN THIS MANNER, THERE IS A

GROUND CURRENT FLOWING, INDICATING THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ELECTRIC SHOCK.

Shut off the power to the spa until the source of the breakdown has been identified and

corrected.

5. The electrical service panel should be equipped with a 50-amp GFCI overcurrent protective device.

6. The minimum supply conductor capacity is 50 Amp and should be sized as follows:

No. 6 AWG, or No. 8 AWG 75oC.

7. The electrical supply for the spa must include a suitably rated switch or circuit breaker to open all

ungrounded supply conductors, to comply with section 422-20 of the National Electrical Code,

ANSI/NFPA 70-1999. The disconnecting means must be readily accessible to the spa occupant but

must not be within 5 feet of the spa.

IMPORTANT USER SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

When using this spa, basic safety precautions should always be followed.

WARNING:

As a spa owner, you should always review these instructions with first time or occasional users of the spa.

Remember, they may not be aware of the possible risks associated with spa water temperature.

1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

2. WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY, do not permit children to use this product unless

they are closely supervised at all times.

3. DANGER: RISK OF ACCIDENTAL DROWNING. Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent

unauthorized access by children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children cannot use the spa unless

they are supervised at all times.

4. WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY, the water in a spa should never exceed 104o F

[40oC]. Water temperatures between 100oF [38o C] and 104oF [40oC] are considered safe for a

healthy adult for a 10 to 15 minute time period. Lower water temperatures are recommended for

extended use [exceeding 10-15 minutes] and for young children.

5. Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during the early

months of pregnancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit spa water temperatures

to 100oF [38o C].

6. Before entering a spa, the user should measure the water temperature with an accurate thermom-

eter such as a medical thermometer, since the tolerance of temperature regulating devices vary.

7. The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa use may lead to unconsciousness with

the possibility of drowning.

To Reduce the

Risk of Injury

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT USER SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS (Continued)

8. 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 physician before using a spa.

9. Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a spa, since some medications

may induce drowsiness while other medications may affect heart rate, blood pressure and

circulation.

10. Extended use of your spa in water temperatures between 100oF and 104oF may cause

HYPERTHERMIA (elevated body temperature). Hyperthermia occurs when the internal

temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above the normal body temperature of

98.6oF. The symptoms include dizziness, fainting, drowsiness, lethargy, and an increase in the

internal temperature of the body. The effects of hyperthermia include (1) unawareness of impending

hazard, (2) failure to perceive heat, (3) failure to recognize the need to exit the spa, (4) physical

inability to exit the spa, (5) fetal damage in pregnant women, and (6) unconsciousness, resulting in

a danger of drowning.

11. WARNING: The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal

hyperthermia in spas.

12. During Winter months where the temperature is consistently below freezing, check your spa

periodically to assure that it is operating correctly and that the power to the spa has not been

interrupted as to assure that the water lines are not in danger of feezing.

13. Do not use your spa alone.

14. Make sure that the following emergency telephone numbers are listed at the nearest telephone:

physician, hospital, ambulance, and police.

15. Have at least one person in the family learn CPR (cardio-pulminary resuscitation). It could save a

life!

SPA LOCATION

Outdoor Considerations

Indoor Considerations

There are many things to consider prior to locating your spa. The following lists cover some of the more com-

mon factors involved in choosing the ideal location.

Local fencing and enclosure codes.

Local electrical and plumbing codes.

The view from your house.

Your ability to supervise the spa.

Wind direction and exposure to sunlight.

Location relative to trees (falling leaves and shade).

Dressing and bathroom location.

Storage area for maintenance equipment and chemicals (storing chemicals inside your spa cabinet

will void the warranty).

Landscaping and evening lighting.

Spa must be placed on a flat, level surface.

Water is heavy. If a spa is placed on flooring or decking, be sure the structure is strong enough to

support the added weight.

Walls, ceiling, flooring, and woodwork must be able to withstand high humidity.

You may need cross-ventilation fans or oversized dehumidifiers (or both) to remove excess humidity.

Spa chemicals in the air may corrode certain metals in your home.

Floor drains are needed to carry off water splashed from the spa.

Recessed spas must be positioned to permit servicing from above or below floor.

Water is heavy. Be sure the flooring or decking is strong enough to support the added weight.

Due to the many precautions that must be taken to avoid damage to the surrounding environment from

humidity and water inherent with spa use, it is usually prudent to avoid a second story location that

may be above finished living space.
