Important Safety Instructions

WARNING: To reduce the risk of drowning, electric shock, or serious injury, read the fol-

lowing important precautions before using the hydrotherapy spa.

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS

1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that all users of the hydrotherapy spa are adequately informed of all precautions.

2. Use the hydrotherapy spa only as described in this manual.

3. The hydrotherapy spa is intended for home use only. Do not use the spa in a commercial, rental, or institutional setting.

4. Use the hydrotherapy spa only on a level surface. Do not use the spa on carpet or other materials that could be damaged by moisture.

5. The hydrotherapy spa will weigh approximately 3,300 pounds when it is filled with water. Make sure that the location you select for the spa will support this weight, plus the weight of the occupants.

6. Inspect and tighten all parts regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

7. DANGER—Risk of injury: Do not remove or alter the covers on the suction fittings. Never operate the hydrotherapy spa if the suction guard is missing or broken. If you need to replace a suction fitting or pump, make sure you use only manufacturer recommended replacement parts. Keep hair and body parts away from the suction guard. Do not allow long hair to float freely in the water; long hair should be restrained with a bathing cap.

8. IMPORTANT: Do not allow the hydrotherapy spa to be exposed to direct sunlight when it is empty. The surface of the spa shell can reach temperatures as high as 150°F in a matter of minutes if exposed to the sun while it is empty. These high temperatures can cause significant damage, such as blistering of the shell surface and warping of the spa shell. Any damage caused by sun exposure is not covered under the warranty.

9. Do not bring any object into the hydrotherapy spa that could damage the spa shell.

10. Never insert any object into any opening.

11. Do not use breakable containers in or near the hydrotherapy spa.

12. Do not sit on the spa cover or place objects on it; it is not designed to support weight.

13. Remove any water or debris that may collect on the spa cover.

14. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets away from the hydrotherapy spa when it is not in use.

15. Keep all chemicals away from children and pets.

16. The pH and chemical balance of the water must be maintained as explained in this manual (see pages 11 and 16). Failure to do so may cause injury to users or damage to the hydrotherapy spa, and will void the warranty.

17. Individuals with infections and open sores or wounds should not use the hydrotherapy spa. Bacteria thrive in warm and hot water. Always keep your spa disinfected and maintain the proper chemical balance.

18. Shower before and after using the hydrotherapy spa. This will remove any deodorant, perspiration, or body oils that could contaminate the water. Showering after will remove any residual chemicals and any bacteria that may have been in the spa.

19. WARNING—The Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), must be tested before each use. To test the GFCI, press the “test” button while the hydrotherapy spa is running. The spa should shut off. Press the “reset” button. The spa should resume normal operation. If the spa continues to run after the “test” button is pressed, then the GFCI is damaged. Do not use the spa until the GFCI has been repaired or replaced by a qualified electrician.

20. DANGER—Risk of electric shock. Keep all electrical appliances such as radios, telephones, televisions, and lights at least five feet away from the water.

21. A wire connector is provided on the electronics pack of the hydrotherapy spa to connect a minimum No. 6 AWG (13.3 mm2) solid copper

onductor between the spa and any metal

c equipment, electrical enclosure made of metal, metal water pipes, or conduit within five feet of the spa.

22. DANGER—Risk of electric shock: Do not set the hydrotherapy spa within five feet of any metal objects or surfaces. As an alternative, you may use the spa within five feet of metal objects if each metal object is permanently connected to the wire connector on the electronics pack of the spa by a minimum No. 6

AWG (13.3 mm

) solid copper conductor (see

instruction 21).

23. Do not operate the pump motor when the hydrotherapy spa is empty. The pump motor may be seriously damaged if it is operated without water circulating.

24. DANGER—Risk of drowning: Exercise extreme caution to prevent unauthorized and unsupervised use of the hydrotherapy spa by children. Children must always be supervised.

25. DANGER—To reduce the risk of drowning:

• Never use the hydrotherapy spa alone.

• Children should not use the spa unless they

are supervised by an adult.

• Keep pets away from the spa at all times.

• Always replace and lock the spa cover when

the spa is not in use.

26. WARNING—To reduce the risk of injury: The water temperature should never exceed 104°F. Temperatures between 100°F and 104°F are considered to be safe for healthy adults. However, if you plan to remain in the hydrotherapy spa for more than 10 to 15 minutes, a lower temperature is recommended. Lower temperatures are also recommended for children. Children should not be allowed to swim under the surface of the water in the spa.

27. WARNING—To reduce the risk of injury: Before entering the hydrotherapy spa, always use an accurate thermometer to determine the water temperature.

28. WARNING—To reduce the risk of injury: Pregnant women should consult with their

physician before using the hydrotherapy spa. Pregnant women should not use the spa if the water temperature is above 100°F; the unborn child could be seriously harmed. This is especially important during the first 90 days of the pregnancy.

P may cause hyperthermia. The causes, symptoms and effects of hyperthermia may be described as follows: Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6°F. The symptoms of hyperthermia include an increase in the internal temperature of the body, dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness and fainting. The effects of hyperthermia include failure to perceive heat; failure to recognize the need to exit the spa or hot tub; unawareness of impending hazard; fetal damage in pregnant women; physical inability to exit the spa or hot tub and unconsciousness resulting in danger of drowning. WARNING: The use of alcohol, drugs or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia.

30. WARNING—To reduce the risk of drowning:

Do not use the hydrotherapy spa if you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Heat from the water, in conjunction with alcohol or drugs, can cause loss of consciousness.

31. WARNING—To reduce the risk of injury or

Choosing a Location for the Hydrotherapy Spa

There are many factors to consider when choosing a location to set up the hydrotherapy spa. These factors vary depending on whether you plan to use the spa inside or outside. We have listed several factors you may wish to consider as you decide where to set up the spa.

If you set up the hydrotherapy spa inside:

1. The spa will increase the level of humidity in your home. The location you choose should be well ventilated. You may need to install a ventilation fan or use a dehumidifier.

2. The spa should be located near a power source capable of supplying 240 volts AC power. It must be wired directly into a grounded circuit with a 45 amp circuit breaker and a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) capable of carrying 45 amps. No other appliance should be on the same circuit.

3. The spa should be close to a source of water.

4. Do not use the spa on carpet or other material that may be damaged by moisture. We recommend that you place the spa on a water- and stain-resistant, non-slip surface with a floor drain for any water that may splash from the spa.

5. Make sure that the location you choose is stable. It must be able to support the weight of the spa when it is filled with water, plus the weight of the occupants. The spa weighs approximately 3,300 pounds when it is filled with water.

If you set up the hydrotherapy spa outside:

1. Check local building codes concerning the use of outdoor spas.

3. The spa should be close to a source of water.

4. We recommend that you place the spa on a waterand stain-resistant, non-slip surface. Do not use the spa on rough or sharp surfaces such as gravel or wood chips.

6. Consider environmental factors such as rain, wind, shade, and sunlight.

6. Do not use the spa above a finished living area, due to the risk of water damage.

7. Make sure that there is room around the spa to permit servicing of the unit. The dimensions of the spa are 84” W x 84” L x 36” H. You should allow for this size when choosing the location.

8. The spa is not designed for in-floor installation. However, it is compatible with a deck system that is built flush with the top of the spa, provided you leave access to the motor for service.

9. Make sure to note any other considerations, such as aesthetics or privacy concerns, that may affect the safety or enjoyment of using the spa.

7. You should be able to monitor the use of the spa from your home, to prevent unauthorized use by children. You may want to enclose the spa with a fence and self-latching gate to prevent unauthorized use.

8. Make sure that there is room around the spa to permit servicing of the unit. The dimensions of the spa are 84” W x 84” L x 36” H. You should allow for this size when choosing the location.

9. The spa is not designed to be installed below ground level. However, it is compatible with a deck system that is built flush with the top of the spa, provided you leave access to the motor for service.

10.Make sure to note any other considerations, such as aesthetics or privacy concerns, that may affect the safety or enjoyment of using the spa.
