IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
!DANGER To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product
unless they are closely supervised at all times.
!WARNING - RISK OF CHILD DROWNING. Extreme caution must be exercised to
prevent unauthorized access by children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children
cannot use a spa or hot tub unless they are supervised at all times.
!DANGER To reduce the risk of injury to persons, do not remove suction fittings.
Spa location must accommodate sufficient drainage of water around the base of the
structure, as well as the power source compartment.
Prolonged immersion in water that is warmer than normal body temperature can result
in a dangerous condition known as 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 98.6BF. The symptoms of hyperthermia include
dizziness, fainting, drowsiness, lethargy, and an increase in the internal
temperature of the body. The effects of hyperthermia include (1) unawareness of
impending hazard, (2) failure to perceive heat, (3) failure to recognize the need to
exit spa, (4) physical inability to exit spa, (5) fetal damage in pregnant women, (6)
unconsciousness resulting in danger of drowning. WARNING The use of alcohol,
drugs or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in hot tubs
and spas.
!DANGER - RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
A spa may be installed within 5 feet of metal surfaces if each metal surface is
permanently connected by a solid copper conductor attached to the wire connector
on the terminal box . Refer to NEC and local codes in effect at the time of
installation.)
A bonding lug is provided on the control box to permit connection of a
solid copper bonding conductor between this point and any equipment, metal
enclosures of electrical equipment, metal water pipe, or conduit within 5 feet
(1.5m) of the unit as needed to comply with local requirements.
Bond accessible metal to the dedicated connector on the equipment grounding bus,
bond the equipment ground bus to the local common bonding grid as part of the
installation in the form of (1) a reinforced concrete slab for support, (2) a ground
plate provided beneath the hot tub or spa, or (3) a permanent ground connection
that is acceptable to the local inspection authority.
!DANGER RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Do not permit any electrical appliance,
such as a light, telephone, radio, or television, within 5 feet (1.5m) of a spa or hot
tub.
To reduce the risk of injury:
The water in a spa or hot tub should never exceed 104BF (40BC). Water temperatures
between 100BF (38BC) and 104BF (40BC) are considered safe for a healthy adult.
Lower water temperatures are recommended for extended use (exceeding 10-15
minutes) and for young children.
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 or hot tub water temperatures to 100BF(38BC).
Before entering the spa or hot tub, the user should measure the water temperature
with an accurate thermometer.
The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa or hot tub use may lead
to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
Persons suffering from obesity or with a medical history of heart disease, low or high
blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes should consult a
physician before using a spa or hot tub.
3

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a spa or hot tub
since some medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.
For Cord and Plug Connected Units
Must be connected to a grounded, grounding type receptacle only. NEVER connect
the spa to an extension cord.
Do not bury the cord.
For Permanently Installed Units
A terminal marked “G” or “ground” is provided in the wiring box located inside the
equipment compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect the
terminal or connector to the grounding terminal of your electrical service or supply
panel with a continuous green insulated copper wire in accordance with National
Electric Code Table 250-95 and any other local codes in effect at the time of the
installation.
For Permanently Installed Units not Provided with an Internal Disconnecting Method
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 422-30
of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 1987. The disconnecting means
must be readily accessible to the tub occupant but installed at least 5 feet (1.5m)
from the tub water.

cools. Be sure to check the actual water temperature with an accurate
thermometer.
DO NOT ENTER SPA WATER!!
The spa water has exceeded 119F at the high-limit sensor.
The heater will deactivate while the pump and accessory will still
operate. The blower (if equipped) can be activated to help cool the
water. Water must be below 119F and power must be reset to clear the
“HL” error
DO NOT ENTER SPA WATER!!
1. A dirty spa filter can also cause a restricted flow of water, be sure the
filter is cleaned regularly and ensure all water shutoff valves are open.
2. If the system has been operating normally until now, the pump may
be overheating the spa. Refer to “Programing Filtration” on page 18 and
reduce the duration and/or number of cycles per day.
3. If you’ve eliminated items 1 & 2 as problems, the high-limit sensor
may have malfunctioned.
Contact your local spa dealer
The system did not detect any water flow while the main pump was
running.
ŸMake sure that the low-level programming has been properly set,
with or without circulation pump (depending on your system
configuration)
ŸMake sure water valves are open and that water level is high enough
ŸCheck and remove anything obstructing the filter
ŸWith heater pump ON the pressure switch must be a CLOSED circuit
Pressure/Flow Switch systems ONLY: Pressure/flow switch is not
opening when system expects it to be open
ŸMake sure that the low-level programming has been properly set,
with or without circulation pump (depending on your system
configuration)
ŸWith heater pump OFF the pressure switch must be a OPEN circuit

Operation Considerations
The following describes situations you may encounter and situations to be
aware of.
Warm Weather Conditions
Since your spa will normally be expected to maintain warm to hot water ready for use, a great deal of
attention has been directed to the energy conservation detail of insulation to keep electrical cost down.
Energy conservation efficiency may be achieved by extensive insulation of the spa cabinet, plumbing,
spa shell and in some climates full foam insulation may have been provided. This energy conservation
feature may cause an inconvenience during warmer times of the year. During warm periods of the year,
the temperature within the equipment compartment can elevate to a point that the pump will automatically
turn off for a short amount of time (15-30 minutes) to allow the pump to cool down before automatically
restarting. This cool down feature will not harm your spa, but serves only to protect the pump from
damage ad as and indicator that it is too hot. To minimize this occurrence, refrain from using your
Hydrotherapy Jets for prolonged periods of time during warm seasons. The jet pump chosen for your spa
has been specifically sized for maximum performance and your Hydrotherapy enjoyment.
Filtration System
Please refer to your Spa Manufactures Owner’s Manual regarding the operation, maintenance and
cleaning of your filtration system.
IMPORTANT - Heater pump must provide a minimum flow of 23 GPM through heater.
Winterizing
When freezing weather and/or power losses are expected, contact your local spa dealer for freeze
protection or winterizing recommendations for both the spa and the equipment system. Freeze
related damage is not covered by the warranty.
Chemical Water Treatment
Your dealer is familiar with local water conditions and which chemicals are compatible with and designed
specifically for your spa. This is the best person to advise you on proper water quality management. The
one thing you can do to insure years of trouble free equipment operations is to maintain proper water
chemistry.
Two basic goals of the chemical water treatment are sanitizing and balancing the water. Sanitizing simply
means keeping the water free from microorganisms including algae, bacteria and viruses. The current
most popular chemicals for sanitizing include chlorine, bromine and ozone.
Balancing water means establishing a balance among pH, total alkalinity and total hardness. Water that is
unbalanced can corrode the spa and it’s support equipment or leave deposits of minerals. Properly
balanced water is essential to allow the sanitizing chemical to work effectively. There are numerous
chemical additives to help you in controlling pH, total hardness and alkalinity. Never use softened water
when filling you spa. Softened water is extremely corrosive to the metal parts of the spa equipment and
may lead to an unforeseen failure. Sometimes, despite your most diligent efforts, your water may become
to far out of balance to be managed chemically. At this point it is probably better to drain and clean the spa
and start over with fresh water. Equipment failure caused be improper water chemistry will not be covered
under warranty. Saltwater purification systems can potentially damage your equipment. Any related
failures will not be covered under warranty.
