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 properly 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 10 and 14). 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

2

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.

29. DANGER—To reduce the risk of drowning:
rolonged immersion in the hydrotherapy spa

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

drowning: Consult your physician about pos­sible side-effects of any medications you may
be taking before using the hydrotherapy spa.
Heat from the water, in conjunction with some
medications, may cause drowsiness and
increase the risk of drowning. Other medica­tions can effect blood pressure, heart rate,
and circulation.

32. Do not use the hydrotherapy spa immediately

after strenuous exercise.

33. If you feel pain or dizziness at any time while

using the hydrotherapy spa, discontinue use
and contact a physician.

problems, such as obesity, heart disease,
high or low blood pressure, circulatory prob­lems, or diabetes to consult their physician
