WARNING!
Installation and use of this equipment require the user always
to follow safety precautions including.
DANGER: NO DIVING: Diving may result in serious injury or death.
WARNING: Risk of Accidental Drowning: Exercise extreme caution to prevent
unsupervised children going near the swim spa. Children should not use the swim spa without
adult supervision.
WARNING: Risk of Serious Injury or Death: Never operate the spa if suction
fitting, cover, filter, filter lid or weir assembly are broken, damaged or missing. Entrapment
may occur if hair is entangled, knotted or snagged in a suction intake or filter weir. This has
been reported in persons who submerge themselves underwater allowing hair to come close
and/or within the reach of the suction intakes, filter weirs. Do not lay across footwell. Always sit
in an upright position. See your dealer if you need to replace the suction intakes or pump to
ensure that the flow rates are compatible. Never replace the suction fittings with one that has a
lower flow rate than what is marked on the original suction fitting.
DANGER: Risk of Electrical Shock: Install at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from any metal
surface. As an alternative, the swim spa may be installed closer to a metal surface if each surface
is permanently connected by a minimum No. 8 AWG solid copper conductor attached to the
ground lug inside the equipment compartment of your swim spa. Do not permit any electrical
appliances such as light, telephone, radio, television, etc. within 5 feet of the swim spa. Never
operate any appliance from the inside of your swim spa or when you are wet. Do not attempt to
remove the light housing cover(s) with out lowering the water level below the light housing
cover. The Unit must be hardwired to a supply circuit protected by a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI). The GFCI is required by most building codes and should be provided by
installer & tested before each use. Consult the GFCI manufacturer’s instructions for correct
testing and operation.
CAUTION: The electrical supply for this swim spa must include a suitably rated switch or
circuit breaker to open all ungrounded supply conductors to comply with section of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA70-1993. This disconnect must be readily accessible and visible to
the swim occupant but installed at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from the swim spa water.
A bonding lug has been provided on the outside of the Equipment Package electrical control box.
The lug permits the connection of No. 8 AAWG (8.42mm^2) solid copper bonding conductor
between the Equipment Module and all other electrical equipment and exposed metal in the
vicinity, as may be needed to comply with local regulations.
CAUTION: Be sure water flows freely from hydrotherapy jets within the spa. Any blockage
or restriction to this water flow by persons or objects may damage system components, create
and electrical shock hazard, and/or cause water damage to surrounding area.
To avoid damage to pumps(s) and heater, the Equipment must never be operated unless the spa is
filled with water.
To Reduce the Risk of Injury: The water in the swim spa should never exceed 104
degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius). Water temperatures between 100 F (38*C) and 104*F
(40*C) are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended for
young children and when swim spa use exceeds 10 minutes.
