SAFETY INFORMATION

RISKS TO AVOID
DANGER: RISK OF INJURY
• DO NOT sit in the filter compartment area.
Sitting in this area can cause:
a) Restriction of Filter Pump suction/
vacuum b) Damage to components
• Both can result in bodily harm. Should
damage occur to components in this area,
replace immediately!
To reduce the risk of injury to persons, DO NOT
remove floating weir, basket, and filter located in
the filter compartment while the spa is running.
• The suction fittings in the spa are sized to
match the specific water flow created by
the pump. Never replace a suction fitting
with one rated less than the flow rate
marked on the original suction fitting.
• There is a danger of slipping and falling.
Remember that wet surfaces can be
very slippery. Take care when entering or
exiting the spa.
• Never operate spa if the suction fittings are
broken or missing.
• The device should not be used by persons
(including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they
receive supervision or training.
• People with infectious diseases should not
use the spa.
• Keep any loose articles of clothing or
hanging jewelry away from rotating jets or
other moving components.
Increased side effects of medication
• The use of drugs, alcohol or medication
before or during spa use may lead to
unconsciousness with the possibility of
drowning.
• Persons using medications should consult
a physician before using a spa; some
medication may cause a user to become
drowsy, while other medication may affect
heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.
• Persons taking medications which
induce drowsiness, such as tranquilizers,
antihistamines or anticoagulants should
not use the spa.
Health problems affected by spa use
• Pregnant women should consult a
physician before using spa.
• 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 spa.
Unclean water
• Keep the water clean and sanitized with
correct chemical care. The recommended
levels for your spa are: Free Available
Chlorine (FAC): 3.0-5.0 ppm
Total Alkalinity: 40 - 120 ppm
Water pH: 7.2 - 7.8
Calcium Hardness: 75 - 150 ppm
IMPORTANT: Turn jet pump on for at least
ten minutes after adding ANY spa water
chemicals into the filter compartment.
• Clean the filter cartridge monthly to
remove debris and mineral buildup
which may affect the performance of the
hydromassage jets, limit the flow, or trip
the high-limit thermostat which will turn off
the entire spa.
AVOIDING THE RISK OF
HYPERTHERMIA
Prolonged immersion in hot water can result in
HYPERTHERMIA, a dangerous condition which
occurs when the internal temperature of the body
reaches a level above normal 98.6°F (37ºC). The
symptoms of hyperthermia include unawareness
of impending hazard, failure to perceive heat,
failure to recognize the need to exit the spa,
physical inability to exit the spa, fetal damage in
pregnant women, and unconsciousness resulting
in a danger of drowning.
WARNING:
The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can
greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in
hot tubs and spas.
