Important Hot Tub Owner Information
Your hot tub is constructed to the highest standards and is capable of providing
many years of trouble-free use. However, because heat retentive materials are
utilized to insulate the hot tub for efficient operation, an uncovered hot tub surface directly exposed to sunlight and high temperatures for an extended period
is subject to permanent damage. Damage caused by exposing the hot tub to this
abuse is not covered by warranty. We recommend that you always keep the hot
tub full of water when it is exposed to direct sunlight and that you keep the
insulat- ing cover in place at all times when the hot tub is not in use. Read and
carefully follow the requirements for your hot tub’s support base (found in the
section titled,
“Locating Your Hot Tub”, page 10).
Imperial Spas constantly strives to offer the finest hot tub available, therefore
modifications and enhancements may be made which affect the specifications,
illustrations and/or instructions contained herein.

a Class B Digital Device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures: l) Rearrange
or relocate the receiving antenna. 2) Increase the separation between
the equipment and receiver. 3) Connect the equipment into an outlet on

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including:
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) WARNING: A grounding wire connector is provided on this unit to
connect a minimum No. 8AWG (8.4mm2) solid copper conductor
between this unit and any metal equipment, metal enclosures of
electrical equipment, metal water pipe, or conduit within 5 feet (1.5m)
of the unit.
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 this hot tub unless they are
supervised at all times.
4) DANGER: Risk of Injury. The suction fittings in this hot tub 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 hot tub 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.
5) DANGER: Risk of Electric Shock. Install at least 5 feet (1.5m), from
all metal surfaces. As an alternative, a hot tub may be installed within
5 feet (1.5m) of metal surfaces if each metal surface is permanently
connected (bonded) by a minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm2) solid copper conductor attached to the wire connector on the grounding lug,
inside the equipment compartment on the equipment box.
6) DANGER: Risk of Electric Shock. Do not permit any electrical appli-
ance, such as a light, telephone, radio, television, etc. within 5 feet
(1.5m) of a hot tub.
7) ELECTRICAL SUPPLY: The electrical supply for this product 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. The disconnect must be readily
accessible and visible to the hot tub occupant but installed at least 5
Page 6
feet (1.5m), from the hot tub water.
8) WARNING: To Reduce the Risk of Injury:
a) The water in a hot tub 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 hot tub use exceeds 10
minutes.
b) Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for caus-
ing fetal damage during the early months of pregnancy, pregnant or
possibly pregnant women should limit hot tub water temperatures
to 100˚F (38˚C). If pregnant, please consult your physician before
using a hot tub.
c) Before entering the hot tub, the user should measure the water
temperature with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of
water temperature regulating devices may vary as much as +/- 5˚F
(2˚C).
d) The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during hot tub
use may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
e) Persons suffering from obesity or a medical history of heart dis-
ease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or
diabetes should consult a physician before using a hot tub.
f) Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a
hot tub since some medication may induce drowsiness, while other
medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.

HYPERTHERMIA
Prolonged immersion in
hot water may induce hyperthermia. A description of the causes,
symptoms, and effects of hyperthermia are 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
(37˚C). The symptoms of hyperthermia include drowsiness, lethargy, and
an increase in the internal temperature of the body. The effects of hyperthermia include:
a) Unawareness of impending hazard;
b) Failure to perceive heat;
c) Failure to recognize the need to exit hot tub;
d) Physical inability to exit hot tub;
e) Fetal damage in pregnant women; and
f) Unconsciousness and danger of drowning.
Cautions
1. Persons suffering from heart disease, diabetes, high or low blood
pressure, and any condition requiring medical treatment, pregnant
women,the elderly, or infants should consult with a physician before
using a hot tub.
2. The Consumer Products Safety Commission has stated that the
water temperature in a hot tub should not exceed 104˚F (40˚C).
Immersion in water in excess of 104˚F (40˚C) can be hazardous to
your health.
3. Observe a reasonable time limit when using the hot tub. Long expo-
sures at higher temperatures can cause high body temperature.
