IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WHEN INSTALLING AND USING THIS ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT,
BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED,
INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:
1. WARNING : To reduce the risk of injury do not permit children to use this product
unless they are closely supervised at all times.
2. DANGER! RISK OF ACCIDENTAL DROWNING. Extreme caution must be exercised to
prevent unauthorized access by children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children
cannot use a hot tub or spa unless they are supervised at all times.
3. DANGER:
To reduce the risk of injury to persons, Do NOT remove suction fittings.
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 the 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.
4. Install the spa so proper drainage is provided for the compartment containing the
electrical components.
5. DANGER - RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
Placement of the spa shall be at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from all metal surfaces.
(A spa may be installed within 5 feet of a metal surface if each metal surface is permanently connected by a minimum No.8 AWG 8.42mm2 solid copper conductor attached
to the wire connector on the terminal box that is provided for this purpose). National
Electrical Code ANSI /NMFP A70-1993.
6. DANGER-RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
Do not permit any electrical appliances, such as a light, telephone, radio, or television
within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the spa.
7. Warning: To Reduce The Risk of Injury:
A. The water in a spa should never exceed 40 degrees Celsius (104
degrees F) .Water temperatures between 38 degrees C (100 E) and 40
degrees C 104 F) are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water
temperatures are recommended for extended use (exceeding 10 minutes) and for young children.
B. 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 or hot tub temperatures to
38 degrees C (100 F)

C. Before entering a spa, the user should measure the water temperature
with an accurate thermometer, since the tolerances of water temperature regulating devices vary.
D. The use of alcohol, drugs,or medication, before or during spa use,may
lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
E. Persons suffering from obesity or with a medical history of heart
disease, low or high blood pressure, circulation system problems, or
diabetes should consult a physician before using a spa.
F. Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a
spa since some medication may induce drowsiness,while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure and circulation.
DO’S & DON’TS
DO Make sure the spa is connected to a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) protected circuit. This GFCI is required by the
National Electrical Code (NEC) and is supplied with the unit.
DO Test the water with your hand before entering the spa to be sure
it is comfortable.
DO Remember that wet surfaces can be slippery. Take care when
entering and exiting the spa.
DO Use the thermal cover when the spa is not in use,empty or full.
DO Take steps to prevent the intrusion of sand and dirt into the spa.
DO Maintain proper water chemistry.
DO Clean the filter cartridge weekly.
DON’T Use the spa for long periods of time at temperatures over 104 F.
DON’T Operate spa without water. Turn circuit breaker off before emp-
tying the spa and while it is empty.
DON’T Store chemicals in the spa’s equipment compartment.

WARNINGS
Prolonged immersion in water that is warmer than normal body temperature can result
in a dangerous condition known as
hypothermia may be described as follows:
Hypothermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several
degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6 degrees F. The symptoms of
hypothermia include dizziness,fainting, drowsiness, lethargy,and an increase in the internal temperature of the body. The effects of hypothermia 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.
WARNING:The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk
of fatal hypothermia in hot tubs and spas.
Persons taking medications which induce drowsiness such as tranquilizers antihistamines or anticoagulants should not use the spa. Pregnant women and persons with a
medical history of heart disease, circulatory problems, diabetes or high blood pressure
should consult their physician before using the spa.
HYPOTHERMIA. The causes, symptoms,and effects of
Children are especially sensitive to hot water. At no time should children have unsupervised access to the spa. The use of elevated decking may encourage children to climb
onto the thermal coverEach spa comes with a thermal cover which is provided with locking straps. Install the
locks for your child’s safety.
IT IS NOT DESIGNED AS A SAFETY OR CHILD RESISTANT COVER!

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Site Selection/Preparation
The spa must be installed on a structurally strong, solid and reasonably level surface.The
site should allow for drainage away from the equipment compartment in which the electrical components are housed. Take into account the following when considering
prospective sites:
LOCAL CODES:
There may be certain restrictions and/or requirements that are particular to your locality.
DELIVERY PASSAGEWAY:
Doors, halls, stairs, etc. may pose obstructions to deliver the spa to its intended site.
MAINTENANCE:
Trees, lawn, placement surfaces, etc. can create extra work in keeping your spa and spa
area clean and safe.
PRIVACY & WIND SHIELDING
A sheltered environment can result in lower operating and maintenance costs.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND INSTALLATION:
Important:
Electrical Code (NEC).
performed by a qualified,
ing/electrical inspection authority.
A ground terminal (pressure wire connector) is provided on the control box inside the
spa to permit connection of a minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4mm) solid copper bonding
conductor between this point and any metal equipment,metal enclosures or electrical
equipment, metal water pipe or conduit, within 5 feet (1.5m) of the unit as needed to
comply with local requirements.
All wires feeding the spa are to be the same gauge. Ground wires are to be insulated.
When using a ground rod, the ground wire to the rod should be #6 bare copper wire.
All 220 Volt spas require the use of an isolated GFCI protected circuit. The installation of
a disconnect is required no more than ten (10) visual feet from the spa and not less than
five (5) feet from the spa. This requirement is to assure that the power cannot be
inadvertently turned back on when the power is disconnected from the spa for any
reason.
Wire your spa per the diagram most similar to your house panel.
Your spa is wired to meet the requirements of UL, ETL, and the National
Any modifications required to meet state or local codes must be
LICENSED electrical contractor and approved by a local build-

3. TIGHT CORNERS - Make sure there is space to maneuver.
4. STORAGE SHEDS, DOG HOUSES,WOOD PILES - Remove out of the way.
5.GATES:CLEARANCE FOR PASSAGE OF SPA - Does gate need to be removed
from hinges?
6. OVERHANGS AND GUTTERS - Anything overhead, as well as drain pipe
locations, must allow for spa passage.
