IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNINGS

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 spa unless they are supervised at all times.

DANGER: Risk of Injury. 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 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.

DANGER: Risk of Electric Shock. Install at least 5 feet (1.5m) from all metal surfaces. As an alternative, a spa may be installed within 5 feet of metal surfaces if each metal surface is permanently connected by a minimum 8 AWG (8.4mm

DANGER: Risk of Electric Shock. Do not permit any electrical appliance, such as a light, telephone, radio, or television, within 5 feet (1.5m) of a spa.

) solid copper conductor to the wire connector on the terminal box that is provided for this purpose.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury:

a) The water in a spa should never exceed 40°C (104°F). Water temperatures between 38°C (100°F) and

40°C are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended for young children and when spa use exceeds 10 minutes.

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 water temperatures to 38°C (100°F).

c) Before entering a spa, the user should measure the water temperature since the tolerance of water

temperature-regulating devices varies.

d) The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa use may lead to unconsciousness with the

possibility of drowning.

e) Obese persons and persons with a history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory 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.

Maintain water chemistry in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

CAUTION:

DOC: OM-MYLIFE-19

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Hyperthermia

Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above the normal body temperature of 37°C (98°F). The symptoms of hyperthermia include drowsiness, lethargy, and an increase in the internal temperature of the body. The effects of hyperthermia include:

• Unawareness of impending hazard

• Failure to perceive heat

• Failure to recognize the need to exit spa

• Physical inability to exit spa

• Fetal damage in pregnant women

• Unconsciousness and danger of drowning

The use of alcohol, drugs or medication can significantly

increase the risk of fetal hyperthermia.

Vegetation in spa area

Trees, bushes, flowers etc. can all add to spa maintenance.

More privacy during use and serves as a wind break but may also add more maintenance.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Remember, your new spa is a powerful piece of electrical and plumbing equipment. You owe it to yourself, your family and your friends to install it correctly and safely. Before attempting to hook-up or use your spa, please read the following instructions.

ATTENTION:

This spa is intended for outdoor use, however it can be installed indoors when

precautions are taken to ensure the spa is installed and located

in such a manner that any water that could leak, splash or be released

as humidity will drain away harmlessly.

POSITIONING OF YOUR SPA - CONSIDERATIONS

Your spa is completely self-contained. Therefore, you can situate it just about anywhere; on a patio, in or on a deck, in a basement or sunroom. It comes completely pre-plumbed and water tested from the factory. Never lift or carry the spa by the plumbing. Damage could occur which would not be covered under warranty.

You should take into account the following when selecting prospective spa sites in order to maximize enjoyment.

To avoid any personal injury or damage to your spa, have 4-5 people ready to assist you to move the spa to its' final location. Use a moving dolly and/or straps to more evenly distribute the spa's weight. Never lift or carry the spa by its' plumbing.

SITE CONSIDERATIONS

Local codes Local building, property and electrical codes may affect your installation.

Delivery access to location

Spa location relative to buildings

Fences, tree lines

Spa step out location

Spa Direction View when using a lounger & ease of access for servicing.

Downspouts and natural drainage of land

Gates, overhangs, fences, gas meters, and AC units may become obstructions. You may need to access from a neighbour's yard or employ a crane.

The location could add to your spa maintenance (removing snow from cover) and increase operating costs.

Any surface that is slippery when wet could be dangerous for bathers both entering and exiting the spa.

These may flood the spa area, damage spa or create a safety hazard to bathers.

Outside water supply and draining location

Optional accessories These may take up added space that you must plan for (cover remover/holder).

You will need a place to safely drain the spa and a way to refill it easily.

DOC: OM-MYLIFE-19

2019 Owner’s Manual

SPA SUPPORT

Whatever the support is, it must be:

a) A continuous, level surface, above grade, capable of handling 80 lbs. per sq. ft. that will not be compromised

by changes in the water table or water sitting in the area.

b) Such that the weight of the spa, water and bathers is not supported by the spa lip. c) In full contact with the bottom of the spa

ACCEPTABLE SPA SUPPORT BASES

Concrete Pad 4" to 6" thick with provision for run off

Patio Stones, Pavers etc. Levelled with proper preparation of the earth

Wooden Deck Floor Incl. centre support uprights in concrete and joists spaced 12" on centre

Engineered Plastic Spa Pad Following pad manufacturer's instructions

Unacceptable Spa support bases include crushed gravel, stone dust, bare earth, platform built directly onto earth. Damage caused by improper spa installation will void factory warranty.

Do NOT locate your spa in a low run-off area since melting snow or rain can cause pump and equipment damage. WATER SHOULD ALWAYS DRAIN AWAY FROM THE SPA.

See next page for dimensions that can be used to determine the proper location of submerged conduits in concrete slab installations. All dimensions are made from the outside of the spa's frame with the access panels removed.

DOC: OM-MYLIFE-19 My Life Hot Tubs

My Life Hot Tubs 2019 Owner’s Manual

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION GENERAL INFORMATION

A. LOCATING A CONDUIT WITHIN A CONCRETE PAD

If your intent is to bring a conduit and power wires up under the spa we suggest that it enter the spa cavity in the front, left corner; 6” (15cm) Dimension A in from the left and 6” (15cm) Dimension B up from the front. See A & B on the diagram below. This location will allow you to stay clear of spa pumps and other equipment while giving you a short and easy access to the left side of the spa pack, where the electrical entry hole and terminal block are located.

B. SUPPLY CABLE ENTRY INTO SPA EQUIPMENT AREA

• You may enter the spa cavity at any other point around spa provided you have reviewed the location and

determined there is no interference. You may also decide to enter at an adjoining wall (depending on the positioning of the spa) and route a conduit along the spa kicker. Ask your electrician for his/her advice in these matters.

• In all cases the best side for entry of the supply cable is the side to your left when you are standing at the

equipment panel.

• Right side entry is possible; however, this may involve additional supply cable, parts and time.

HOW TO PASS THE CABLE THROUGH THE SPA ENCLOSURE

Polysteel Frame with Polyethylene Bottom and Polysteel Panels

a) You can choose to notch the polysteel panel so you can pass the cable/conduit through and still be able to

remove/replace the panel for servicing. You should consider securing the cable or conduit to the spa’s metal frame where cable/conduit passes through the cabinet.

b) You may also route a cable up under the corner. The curved panel is flexible enough and there is enough

space to run the cable this way. Removing the corner may help you to do this easier.

c) On a concrete pad where you have a conduit or cable coming up within the perimeter of the spa, you can

easily cut an opening in the polyethylene bottom to access the cable or conduit/wires. See above table for recommended opening location.

You may wish to insulate any opening or cut-out you make in the spa’s cabinet panel or corner or bottom to keep cold air and small animals out.

WHAT’S UNDER YOUR SPA (THE EQUIPMENT)

The spa's control pack, heater, drain connection and ozonator may be accessed by removing the cabinet panel along the control side of the spa. Removing the panel(s) to the right or left of the spa's main access panel will allow access to the jet pumps, blower and any other optional equipment. On some models, all equipment is accessible from the main access panel.

The free standing spa pack houses the receptacles and switching apparatus (circuit board) for the pump(s) blower, light, keypad etc., as well as the heat regulating system. The spa pack is also where the electrical supply connections are made. The

horizontal heater is attached to the bottom of the spa pack.

A high performance 2-speed jet pump provides the power to operate the various hydrotherapy jets in the spa, at the optimum level. The low speed of pump 1 is used to circulate the water so it can be filtered and heated. Some models may have a 2 to properly power the jets. Gate valves in the plumbing lines allow easy servicing of the pump and heater. Safety clips on the valve shafts keep the valves open during use.

jet pump

An ozonator is used to assist in water treatment. The corona discharge (CD) model produces ozone which is drawn into the spa water via the return plumbing.

This unit creates both ozone and UV in perfect synergy to sanitize the spa water. Ozone introduced into the unit’s chamber reacts with the UV light to create hydrogen free radicals for advanced oxidization potential (AOP). This results in only oxygen bubbles emerging from the dual return fittings.

Other items under your spa may include an audio power supply, audio receiver and LED control system.

Hydrotherapy

2-speed jet pumps provide a gentle, low-speed therapy or intense, high-speed therapy. The jets have directional nozzles, multiple directional nozzles, fixed nozzles or rotating nozzles. Most of the jets have the ability to have the water volume adjusted to your therapy needs.

Deck Controls

Air controls mix air with the water stream coming out of the jet. A diverter valve is used on some models to dedicate pump flow to specific groups of jets or share it amongst several jets. Models with the waterfall feature have a control valve to turn the waterfall on/off.

A digital topside control panel allows you to activate the pumps, blower and light plus set the temperature that you want the water to be. The topside display also shows error messages and tells you if any special spa pack features are operating, including protection against overheating and freeze-up.

Lighting

Your spa is equipped with a multi-LED spa light allowing you to enjoy the effects of a colour changing LED light system. LED lights around the perimeter of the spa create a special effect of colour changing lights.

LED Light Operation

Your spa may be equipped with an LED light system consisting of perimeter lights, lighted water feature(s), lighted corners and a thru wall underwater spa light, depending on the spa model and options. The system is controlled using the LIGHT key on the topside control panel. The spa pack is factory set/programmed for simple on/off spa light operation.

FILLING YOUR SPA

Okay, your new spa has been connected to the power and you have a basic understanding of how the equipment works and what the jets can do for you. We know you are anxious to fill the spa and get it started, but please read this section carefully before you fill your spa.

1) Make certain that the breaker or fuse(s) that supplies your spa equipment is off.

2) Wash the spa surface thoroughly with warm water and a soft cloth only to remove any construction or

transportation debris.

3) Check that the drain connection is closed.

4) Check that the unions on the spa pack and pump(s) are tight. They can loosen during transportation.

5) Open waterfall/water feature ON/OFF valve before filling. Refer to graphics on valve handle or simply turn

counter clockwise to open.

6) Begin filling the spa with a standard garden hose. Fill by inserting hose into skimmer body. Do not fill your

spa with soft water (consult dealer). If possible, your source fill water temperature should not be less than 70°F (21°C). Do Not operate the spa with low water levels. A level 4" over the bottom of the skimmer mouth is recommended. Maximum initial water level should be 6” below the spa lip. Adjust as needed based on number of bathers using the spa. Consider adding an overflow to your spa if you are regularly having enough bathers in the spa to significantly raise the water level such that damage to equipment may occur.

7) Increase the fill pressure slowly to prevent surface damage by a jerking hose.

8) Visually check all lines for leaks and correct immediately. If you cannot stop the leak simply by tightening a

union or resetting an "O" ring or gasket, contact your dealer immediately.

9) Turn on the main power at your electrical panel.

10) The topside control panel will initialize and begin its’ start-up procedure. Then the system will start the

circulation pump(or low speed pump) and the heater.

11) Bleed entrapped air off the filter by opening the air bleed screw on the filter lid.

Once you feel comfortable with the operation of your spa's controls, set the temperature to the desired level (100°F/38°C is an excellent starting point). Close the air controls and cover the spa with your hard cover. Heat up times will vary based on volume of water in the spa, but you can generally expect 6-8 hours to reach maximum temperature. Spas running on 120VAC will have a longer initial heat-up time.

Always view the temperature display before entering the water. For your own personal safety, do not enter when the temperature exceeds the maximum set point of 40°C (104°F).
