women should limit spa water temperatures to 38°C (100°F).
C) Before entering a spa, the user should measure the water temperature with
an accurate thermometer 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.

ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION:

SITE PREPARATION

1. Your spa should always be installed on a structurally sound, relatively smooth and

level surface.

2. Your spa should be connected to a grounded out

let within eight feet of the spa.

3. Make sure that there are no sharp objects under the spa.

INDOOR INSTALLATION:

Take special consideration to the following issues when installing your spa indoors.

1. Make sure the floor can support the total spa filled weight of 1500lbs.

2. Install your spa on a water resistant, non-slip floor. The floor should have a drain to

remove water splashed from the spa. Do not install the spa on carpet or other material
that will be damaged by moisture.

3. Allow enough clearance around the spa for full access to the spa equipment for

service.

4. Avoid installing the spa indoors on a second story above finished living space due to

the possibility of water and humidity damage.

5. Take into consideration the room humidity which will exist due to high temperatures.

Providing ventilation in the room will help maintain comfort and minimize moisture
damage to the surrounding environment.

OUTDOOR INSTALLATION:

You may install your spa on any smooth, level surface that is strong enough to support
the filled unit. The following considerations must be taken when installing your spa
outdoors.

1. Check local code requirements for restrictions such as fencing, enclosures,

childproof gates, etc.

2. Verify that there is adequate room to place the spa and permit safe access.

3. Do not install the spa on grass or dirt, as this will greatly increase the amount of

debris entering the spa. An 8’x8’ stone or solid wood surface, 5 to 9 inches in height is
recommended.

4. Take into consideration the positioning of the Spa for draining purposes.

6

SPA ASSEMBLY:

1. Unfold the spa to lay flat. (Fig 3)

2. Plug in the filter pump to a grounded

2. Using a garden hose, fill the spa to the

bottom of the tile design (Fig 13). Be
careful not to over fill the spa, or it may
overflow during use. Each average adult
will raise the water level in the spa
approximately two inches, and the blower
action will raise the water level an
additional three to four inches.

3. Bleed the air from the pump/filter by

turning the air bleed valve on the top of the
pump/filter cover (Fig 14) counter­clockwise. Allow the filter tank to bleed for

4. Plug the filter pump into the electrical

outlet. Press the “Filter On” button located
on the Pump/Filter control panel (Fig 15)
The pump will turn on and begin pumping
water. Water should flow from the small
pump/filter outlet on the middle inside wall
to the right of the bubbler hose (Fig 2). If
water is not flowing from the pump/filter
outlet, repeat the air bleeding instructions
provided in step 3, and make sure the inlet
and outlet nozzles are open (Fig 11).

NOTE: UNPLUG THE PUMP/FILTER
WHILE BLEEDING AIR.

NOTE: If the air is not properly bled from the
pump/filter, the water pump will be air bound
and no water will flow. This will prevent the spa
from heating, and the water will not be filtered.
Make sure that water is flowing from the
pump/filter outlet before continuing.
