All electrical work must be performed by a licensed electrician and conform to all national, state, and
local codes. When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
WARNING
Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia.Hyperthermia occurs when the internaltemperature
ofthe body reaches a level several degrees above the normal body temperature of98.6 F.The symptoms of
hyperthermia include dizziness, fainting, drowsiness, lethargy, and an increase in the internaltemperature of the
body.The effects ofhyperthermia include: 1) unawareness of impending danger; 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 a danger of drowning.
DANGER
Toreduce the risk of injury,do not remove the suction fittings of your spa or hot tub. Never operate a spa or hot
tub if the suction fittings are broken or missing. Never replace a suction fitting with one rated less than the flow rate
marked on the equipmentassembly.
WARNING
ToReduce the Risk of Injury -
a)The water in a spa should never exceed 104 F (40 C). Water temperatures between 100 F(38 C) and
104 F (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 fetaldamage during the early months of
pregnancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit spa water temperatures to 100 F (38 C).
c) Before entering a spa or hottub, 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 or hot tub 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 or hot tub since some medication
may induce drowsines while other medication may affect heart rate,blood pressure, and circulation.
WARNING
Risk of electric shock - Install the power center at least five (5) feet (152.4cm) from the inside wall of the pool
and/or hot tub using non-metallic plumbing. Canadian installations mustbe at least three (3) meters from the
