C. Connect to a grounded, grounding type receptacle only.
4A. (For units with a G.F.C.I.)
WARNING - This product is provided with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
“G.F.C.I.” on the end of the spa’s power cord. This G.F.C.I. must be tested
before each use. With the product operating depress the “test” button on
the G.F.C.I. The spa should not operate. Depress the “Reset” button on
the G.F.C.I. The product should now operate normally. If the spa fails to
operate in this manner, there is a ground current flowing indicating a possible
electric shock. Disconnect the power until the fault has been identified and
corrected by a certified licensed electrician.
5. Warning
FOR PERMANENTLYINSTALLED UNITS - 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 442-20 of the
National Electric Code. ANSI / NFPA 70-1987. In addition, all 230 volt
installations must be protected by a 230 volt Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
"G.F.C.I.". Any G.F.C.I. circuit breaker used in the house panel must read
current returning through the neutral conductor. 230 volt 2 conductor G.F.C.I.
circuit breakers will not operate correctly for your application.
6. Danger
Risk of Accidental Drowning. Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent
unauthorized access by children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children
cannot use this spa unless they are supervised at all times. For additional
protection, select a cover which is classified by the Underwriters
Laboratories Meeting ASTM F1346-91 requirements.
7. Danger
Risk of Injury. The suction fittings in this spa are sized to match the specific
water flow created by the pump. Should the need arise to replace the suction
fittings or the pump, be sure that the flow rates are compatible.
Never operate spa if suction fittings are broken or missing. Never replace
a suction fitting with one less than the flow rate marked on the original
suction fitting.
8. Danger
Risk of Electric Shock. Install at least 5 feet (1.5m) from all metal surfaces.
As an alternative, a spa may be installed within 5 feet (1.5m) of metal
surfaces if each metal surface is permanently connected by a minimum
No. 8AWG (8.4mm) solid copper conductor to the wire connector on the
terminal box that is provided for this purpose.
9. Danger
Risk of Electric Shock. Do not permit any electric appliance, such as light,
telephone, radio, or television, within 5 feet (1.5m) of a spa.
10. Warning To reduce 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 your children and when spa use exceeds 10 minutes.
B. Since excessive water temperatures have high potential for fetal damage
during the early months of pregnancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant
women should limit spa water temperatures to 100°F (38°C).
C. Before entering spa, the user should measure the water temperature
with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of water temperature-
regulating devices vary.
D. The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa use may
lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
E. 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.
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.
11.Warning Sign
Included with this spa is a warning sign. It is extremely important that this
sign be permanently placed in clear view of any persons using the spa.
Occasional spa users may not be aware of some of the dangers hot water
poses to pregnant women, small children, and people under the influence
of alcohol, drugs or medication. If you did not receive a warning sign or
your sign has become damaged, please contact your spa dealer and ask
for sign number PL601035 Rev A.

1. Never permit the spa to be used unless it is attended
by at least one person other than the bather.
Someone should be present to lend assistance if the bather should be in
trouble due to injuries, cramps, drowning especially in case of children,
etc.
2. Always use care in and around your spa.
The spa has many rigid, unyielding parts and many areas that become wet
and slippery. These all are potentially dangerous when rough play is
permitted or if care is not used, particularly when entering or leaving the
spa.
3. Keep the water sanitary and healthful at all times.
Your filter system will remove suspended particles from the water. Regular
application of spa chemicals in proper quantities will destroy harmful bacteria
and prevent formation of algae. Your surface skimmer will remove insects,
leaves, and other debris from the water surface. Unsanitary water is a
serious health hazard.
4. The water in your spa should NOT be warmer than
100°F - 104°F (38° - 40°C).
Always keep an accurate thermometer in the water because your spa’s
thermostat may be in error. Use a high quality, shatterproof thermometer
with increments of one degree or less.
The National Spa and Pool Institute considers a temperature of 100°F
(38°C) safe and comfortable for a healthy adult. Most healthy adults can
enjoy this water temperature for as long as desired, although it may raise
the body temperature to the water temperature and eventually become
uncomfortable (like a fever). At higher water temperatures the soaking
time should be shorter. Never soak for more than 20 minutes when the
water temperature is 102°F (39°C) or higher. If you are planning a long
rest in the spa, lower the water temperature closer to normal body
temperature, about 99°F (37.2°C). Some people find even lower water
temperatures relaxing and pleasing. Try different water temperatures in
the 98°-102°F (36.6°-39°C) range until you find what temperatures suit
you best.
5. Hot water can raise the body temperature high
enough to cause heat stroke.
This can be fatal even to healthy adults. If you have any questions about
your own fitness or whether you should soak in the spa, check with your
physician.
6. Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce
hyperthermia.
Hyperthermia occurs when internal body temperature reaches a level
several degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6°F (36.6°C).
The symptoms of hyperthermia include: (1) dizziness, (2) fainting, (3)
drowsiness, (4) lethargy and (5) increase in the internal body temperature.
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 and (5) unconsciousness resulting in danger
of drowning.
7. WARNING-The use of alcohol, drugs or medication
can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia
in hot tubs or spas.
Despite the popular image of people in spas drinking wine or other alcoholic
beverages, DO NOT use alcoholic beverages before or during spa use.
Alcohol and certain drugs and medications, are depressants which cause
slowed reflexes and drowsiness, especially in conjunction with the relaxed
soaking in hot water. This can lead to sleep or unconsciousness and possibly
result in drowning. Using your spa with other people who are also drinking
or under the influence of drugs or medications is not a preventative measure
since they are likely to become similarly affected by the combinations of
alcohol, drugs or medication and hot water soaking.
Soaking in hot water causes changes in the circulatory system, such as
enlargement of blood vessels near the skin. Therefore, people with a
medical history of heart disease, circulatory problems, diabetes, low or
high blood pressure should check with their physician before using spas.
Additionally, people taking medications causing drowsiness, such as
tranquilizers, narcotics, antihistamines, or anticoagulants should not use
spas without asking their physician.
8. Broken or missing drain covers should be replaced
immediately.
Accidents can occur when long hair or a body part is trapped by suction
from a drain or outlet whose cover is broken or removed. Children are
particularly vulnerable, and they should be warned against danger.
Your spa can be a source of great pleasure. It offers healthful stimulating recreation and is a delightful fun
center for you, your family and friends. However, it contains large quantities of water and is deep enough to
present inherent dangers to life and health unless the following safety rules are strictly observed.
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
DO NOT :
Do not use electrical appliances in or around your spa. Do not use glass or other breakable items in or around your
spa. Do not remove spa cabinet panels and attempt to make repairs. Do not attempt electrical repairs. Retain a
certified licensed electrician.

Selecting A Good Location
LEVEL, FLAT & SOLID LOAD BEARING SITE CRITICAL
Solid Load Bearing Site
The site must provide a solid foundation with a minimum load bearing capacity
of 135 pounds per square foot (61.23 kgr per 929.03 sq. cm). Concrete slabs
and decks must be designed to support this weight. Do not select a site composed
of individual unsupported bricks, blocks or other materials which will shift unevenly
and cause damage to your spa’s internal frame.
Site Selection...
Your new spa will provide you and yours with hour upon hour of healthy, relaxing enjoyment. The following suggestions and
recommendations will help you select a safe and compatible site for your spa, maximizing your enjoyment.
1. Certified Licensed Electrician Required
Electrical installation, (approval of and connection to power source) must
be completed by a qualified certified licensed electrician in compliance
with all codes.
2. No Overhead Power Lines
Do not locate your spa under overhead power lines or in near proximity to
existing buried or exposed electrical circuits. See your certified licensed
electrician.
READ ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
See pages 1 and 2 for other safety requirements and instructions
3. Childproof Your Spa
Plan for limiting access of children. Precautions such as self closing and
locking gates or access doors, fencing and other child barriers, as dictated
by the site would be recommended.
4. UL Safety Cover Required
In addition to its insulating factors, a good cover also provides a measure
of additional protection from unwanted access. Select a cover which is
classified by the Underwriters Laboratories meeting ASTM F1346-91
requirements.
Level Site, Flat Surface
A level site is critical to both the performance and enjoyment of your spa. Water
is unforgiving and will always settle level. A flat and level site provides the surface
necessary to properly disperse weight between the footwell which bears most of
the spa’s weight and the structural frame which primarily provides stabilization
and secondary support. The importance of proper support for the footwell in
conjunction with the spa cabinet cannot be over stressed.
THE BULK OF YOUR SPA’S WEIGHT IS SUPPORTED BY THE FOOTWELL
Failure to provide support will result in damage to the spa’s shell and will void the shell warranty!

CAUTION: Drain waste water may contain chemical residue and unsanitary contaminants which
could be a hazard to health or the environment. Drain to specified sanitary sewer only.
WARNING: DO NOT SUPPLY POWER TO AN EMPTY SPA!
FILLING YOUR SPA
Filling your spa is the first step in maintaining water quality
and chemical balance. Use only clear, uncontaminated
potable water when filling the spa.
When Filling the spa open all jets and air controls.
WINTERIZING YOUR SPA
Warning: Allowing the spa water to freeze will cause severe
damage to the spa shell, equipment, and plumbing.
A spa can be a great asset to your health and relaxation during the
winter months. However, for those who will be using a spa in freezing
cold weather it is critical that a water temperature be maintained well
above freezing.
Freeze Protection
Your Leisure Bay spa is equipped with a special feature called freeze
protection. If the high limit sensor detects 40°F (4°C) at the heater, then
all the equipment is automatically activated to provide freeze protection.
This equipment stays on until the sensor detects 45°F (7°C) at the heater.
WARNING: We strongly recommend that you inspect and test your spa
and controls on a daily basis during periods when temperatures are
below 32°F (0°C). Every installation is different and many factors
contribute to possible freeze damage situations; rate of temperature drop,
thermal cover insulating properties, thermal cover installation, spa
installation location, wind exposure, power outage, spa water temp., etc.
The spa’s freeze protection system is designed to protect your spa from
unforeseen freeze situations. However, in severe freeze conditions or if
you do not plan to use your spa for a period of time, it may be impossible
for the freeze protect system to fully protect your spa. When severe
conditions threaten, we strongly recommend that you have the unit
drained and winterized by a “Spa Professional.” Properly winterizing a
spa is a complicated process and should not be attempted by an amateur.
Water Level
The correct water fill level varies with each individual
installation. Every person entering a spa displaces a given
volume of water.
Suggested “Fill Range” Provided
A fill range label has been placed on the surface skimmer
face plate at the factory (see fig. 1). This label has a
suggested minimum and maximum fill level that will provide
a starting point for selecting a water level that meets your
individual needs.
Chemically Treat Water Immediately
To assure the maintenance of water quality, it is imperative
that you chemically threat the spa water immediately upon
completion of filling. See the treatment sections on pages
18 and 19.

DRAINING YOUR SPA
(Warning: Do not supply power to an empty spa!)
1. Turn Power Off
Turn power off at the spa consoles and deactivate disconnect
switches at the G.F.C.I. plug or load center.
2. Locate Spa Drain Valve
Located under the lower corner of the spa as you are facing the
console. See arrow.
Drain Every Three Months
Draining your spa on a regular basis rids the spa of dissolved solids and
protects your spa equipment from the effects of residual calcium hardness
and total alkalinity problems.
3. Remove Drain Valve Safety Cap
Remove safety drain cap (see figure 1) and store for use when refilling
your spa. Attach a standard garden hose to the drain valve.
4. Attach Hose & Select Safe Suitable Drain
Route the hose to a sewer drain capable of safely assimilating 300 plus
gallons of water which may contain both unsanitary contaminants and
chemical residue. To open drain valve twist counter clockwise and pull
(see figure 2).

Additional Features
Spa Heating Modes
The Heating Mode offers the ability to control your heater in special circumstances. Your spa is preset at the factory to
Standard Mode. However, the Heating Mode can be changed to Economy or Sleep by pressing the then
button. With each press of the buttons, the display will cycle through the three different modes described below:
1. Standard Mode ( ST ): Your spa is preset to this mode. This mode operates the heater whenever needed to maintain
the programmed spa water temperature. (See Temperature Adjustment).
2. Economy Mode ( EC ): This mode operates the heater only during programmed Heating Cycles (See “Setting Heating
Cycles” below). This mode is ideal for areas that charge a premium for electricity during peak
hours. This mode will maintain the thermostat setting. If it does not reach the thermostat
setting, you may have to allow for more heating time by increasing the Heating Cycles.
3. Sleep Mode ( SL ): This mode works in the same manner as the Economy Mode except the thermostat setting is
automatically lowered by 20 degrees. This mode is best suited for extended leaves from home
when it is not important to maintain constant water temperature, such as vacations or business
trips.
Summer Set Temperature
In hot weather, it is possible for water temperature to exceed the temperature setting. This is especially common when
your temperature setting is lower than air temperature. If the water temperature exceeds the temperature setting more
than 3°, an automatic safety circuit will turn off all of the electrical systems. The systems will remain off until either the water
temperature cools to below the setting, or the setting is increased above the water temperature.

Skim Filter
CLEANING YOUR SPA FILTER
Proper care and cleaning of your spa filter is very important
to the enjoyment of your spa. The filter is designed to remove
emerged debris and contaminants, providing clear clean
water for the bather. The most important maintenance step
is to establish a cleaning routine to fit your use pattern. Heavy
use and introduction of contaminants such as oily body lotions
could mean cleaning on a weekly basis while average use
might require only monthly cleaning.
1. Activate the standby mode or turn off electrical power. Remove
filter cover and set aside.
2. To remove floating weir and basket rotate it a 1/4 turn counter
clockwise.
3. Remove the floating weir and basket. 4. Remove filter cartridge and wash it with a garden hose inside and
out until the cartridge is clean. Reinsert the filter and follow the
steps in the reverse sequence.
NOTE:
1. Body oils, algae, and suntan oil can form a coating on the spa filter cartridge pleats which may not be thoroughly removed by the garden hose. To
remove such substances, soak the filter in a solution of filter cleaner. Various brands of such cleaners are readily available at your local dealer.
2. Improper spa filter maintenance will alter the spa sensing device on your spa. This will lead to faulty heater and or pump operation. But generally,
cleaning or replacing the filter cartridge regularly will remedy this situation.

You Deserve Pure, Crystal Clear Water
Pure, crystal clear water is part of the reward you receive for owning your very own spa. Maintaining water quality is a simple matter when a
Use/Maintenance Routine is established early on in ownership.
Use/Maintenance Routine
The tasks required to maintain superior water quality are divided into two categories, Regular and Special. “Regular” tasks include those that should be
routinely performed regardless of use pattern. For example, the spa filter should be cleaned at a minimum monthly, even if the spa is used only
occasionally. “Special” tasks are those performed to compensate for increased spa use. For example, the filter on a spa that has experienced a heavy
bather load resulting from vacation time and visiting friends or relatives might need cleaning on a weekly basis or more. Planning and establishing a
routine of Regular and Special maintenance as required by time and bather load will significantly simplify your spa maintenance.
Starting Point For Developing A Use/Maintenance Routine
No hard set rules can be established for creation of a spa maintenance program since each individual spa has its own unique location conditions and
bather patterns. The following chart of regular and special maintenance tasks is meant to provide a starting point. Water testing and experience will be
the final indicators of what your routine should be.
