Introducing the Solares™ Smart Spa
Apollo’s Tradition of Innovation Continues with the Medical Industry’s First Intelligent Whirlpool Spa.
Computer-automation and on-screen instructions mean minimal dependency on the memory of busy
staff. A network of sensors monitors safe usage and provides step-by-step guidance when desired.
Therapeutic Spa Experience
The Solares™ Smart Spa features the Hydrologic™ Therapy System, a highly advanced whirlpool water
flow system that provides gentle, balanced, and total body hydromassage. Hydrotherapy has been
shown to boost blood flow, stimulate endorphin production, strengthen the immune system, reduce
inflammation, ease pain, promote healing, reduce anxiety, and energize the body and spirit.
Remedy+™ UV Germicidal Water Purification
Apollo’s original UV water purifier is clinically proven to reduce UTIs by 50% and Respiratory Infections
by 35%. Our new Remedy+ UV System is the next generation of FDA-recognized, broad-spectrum
germicidal water purification. A study by the Medical College of Pennsylvania shows the dramatic levels
of bacteria a bather brings to their bath and proves the efficacy of ultraviolet light (UV) at disinfecting
the water. The Remedy+ UV System provides a major leap forward with even faster pathogen
eradication
Taking Care of Caregivers
Caregivers will enjoy the Solares™ Smart Spa because it is safe and easy to use. Computer-automated
operation and on-screen instructions reduce dependency on training and the memory of busy staff. The
chair moves easily to allow access to all areas of the resident’s body. The design virtually eliminates the
risk of injury to both caregivers and residents.
Rapid Fill™ Reservoir - when equipped
Provides for maximum efficiency and resident comfort, silently filling the bath from the bottom up in
less than 60 seconds
Secure-Glide™ Transfer System
The safest, most reliable, and comfortable transfer system ever, providing single-caregiver transfers of
residents up to 500 pounds.
Integrated Weigh Scale
Quickly and automatically capture residents’ weight when seated in the tub.
Easy Cleaning and Maintenance
The Solares™ Smart Spa provides comprehensive infection control, featuring our Remedy+ UV Water
Purification, the bath chair embedded with BioGuard™ Antimicrobial Protectant, and automated
cleaning and disinfecting. All components are designed for convenient access, minimal maintenance,
and easy service.

Plumbing and Electrical Codes
All states and municipalities may differ extensively in their plumbing and electrical codes. Therefore,
Apollo Corporation recommends that you check with the proper enforcement agencies in your area
before installation.
All Apollo bathing systems are manufactured with built-in backflow prevention. However, due to
different plumbing codes, ask your installer whether there is a need to install additional backflow
prevention valves (such as RPZ valves) on any new construction.

right side of the tub. Remove the panel and kneel next to the right side of the tub to review the label’s
information. (Label is on front of the upper frame.)
Intended Use
Apollo bathing systems are designed and sold for use in medical field markets including but not limited
to nursing homes, hospitals, and assisted living facilities. Apollo’s bathing systems are designed to be
operated by trained operators and are not intended to be operated by the individual taking the bath.
The device is intended to be operated with the resident to be bathed seated in the tub and the operator
at either side.

Critical Safety Mechanisms
The critical safety mechanisms of the device required for it to be operated safely includes the
functionality of the primary lock, secondary locking mechanism, carrier latch, and the unit’s ability to
maintain safe bathing temperature.
The carrier base’s primary lock (the latch on the front left of the carrier rails) must be able to securely
latch on to the chair when it is rolled to the front of the base. If the chair can move while on the carrier,
it’s possible the primary latch is disengaged or has failed.
The secondary locking mechanism on the chair (The shafts located beneath the chair with rods sticking
out of either side) must automatically move upwards when not actively forced downward. If this
mechanism is operating correctly then the chair should become “trapped” in the channels located on
the tub and carrier rails until the secondary release handle is pulled.
The carrier latch located on the plate to the front of the tub’s frame needs to be able to securely latch
onto the carrier base’s pin. If the carrier is pushed into the latch it should not be possible to release the
carrier from the tub without pulling the emergency release handle or operating the release button.
The equipment must produce water at a safe bathing temperature. The primary safety mechanism for
this is the use of a temperature and pressure balanced valve that’s factory set to prevent filling at
temperatures at or above 110°f. If the filling temperature of the tub ever exceeds 110°f then the
adjustment of this valve needs to be corrected. None of the above-mentioned mechanisms are
susceptible to EM disturbances. Please Note: device software prevents filling above 105°f.
In the event of an AC line voltage surge, an ESD event, or Rf Electro-magnetic interference, the unit will
maintain its normal operation or shut down in a manner that will not expose a patient to physical harm.

Critical Warnings
Attention
WARNING: To avoid the risk of electric shock, this equipment
must only be connected to supply mains with protective earth.
-Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other
equipment should be avoided because it could result in improper
operation. If such use is necessary, this equipment and the other
equipment should be observed to verify that they are operating
normally
-Portable RF communications equipment can affect medical
electrical equipment. Such equipment should be used no closer
than 12” from the tub.
“WARNING: No modification of this equipment is allowed.”
Hot water above 110° F (43° C) can scald people causing
severe injury or death. Some residents may not be able to
tell attendants about painful or uncomfortable conditions.
•Monitor water temperature entering the bathing
system and in the reservoir with thermometers
provided.
Proper usage of the Secure-Glide™ Transfer System is
critical to assure safe resident transfer.

•Verify chair is locked into the carrier’s primary lock.
•Properly secure resident to chair with seat belts.
•Ensure armrests are in the raised and locked position.
•Never leave resident unattended in chair or tub.
Before transferring resident between carrier and tub or
tub and carrier:
•Ensure carrier is latched securely to the tub.
•Ensure armrests are in the raised and locked position.
•Ensure casters are locked.
•Ensure Touch Screen indicates it is safe to transfer the
resident.
•Failure to clean and disinfect the bathing system could
help to spread infection or disease.
•Clean and disinfect the bathing system and chair before
bathing each resident.
•Do not leave water in the reservoir between bathing
sessions or overnight.
