Important Safety Instructions
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to
use this product unless they are closely supervised
at all times.
DANGER -- Risk of accidental drowning:
Do not allow children to be in or around a spa unless
a responsible adult supervises them. Keep the spa
cover on and locked when not in use. See instructions
enclosed with your cover for locking procedures.
DANGER -- Risk of injury:
The suction ttings in this spa are sized to match
the specic water ow created by the pump. Should
the need arise to replace the suction ttings, or the
pump, be sure the ow rates are compatible.
Never operate the spa if the suction tting or lter
baskets are broken or missing. Never replace a
suction tting with one that is rated less than the ow
rate marked on the original suction tting.
DANGER -- Risk of electric shock:
Install the spa at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) from all
metal surfaces. As an alternative, a spa may be
installed within 5 feet of metal surfaces if each metal
surface is permanently bonded by a minimum #8
AWG solid copper conductor to the outside of the
spa’s control box.
DANGER -- Risk of electric shock:
Do not permit any external electrical appliances,
such as lights, telephones, radios, televisions, and
etc., within ve feet (1.5 meters) of the spa. Never
attempt to operate any electrical device from inside
the spa.
HYPERTHERMIA DANGER:
Prolonged exposure to hot air or water can induce
hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal
temperature of the body reaches a level 3˚F to 6˚F
above the normal body temperature of 98.6˚F (or
2˚C to 4˚C above 37˚C). While hyperthermia has
many health benets, it is important not to allow
your body’s core temperature to rise above 103˚F
(39.5˚C).
Symptoms of excessive hyperthermia include
dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness and fainting. The
effects of excessive hyperthermia may include:
• Failure to perceive heat
• Failure to recognize the need to exit spa or hot
tub
• Unawareness of impending hazard
• Fetal damage in pregnant women
• Physical inability to exit the spa
• Unconsciousness
WARNING: The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication
can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia.
WARNING -- To reduce the risk of injury:
The spa water should never exceed 104˚F (40˚C).
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 spa use exceeds 10
minutes.
High water temperatures have a high potential for
causing fetal damage during pregnancy. Women who
are pregnant, or who think they are pregnant, should
always check with their physician prior to spa usage.
The use of alcohol, drugs or medication before or
during spa use may lead to unconsciousness, with
the possibility of drowning.
Persons suffering from obesity, a medical history of
heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory
system problems or diabetes should consult a
physician before using the spa.
Persons using medications should consult a physician
before using the spa since some medications may
induce drowsiness while others may affect heart rate,
blood pressure and circulation.
