CAUTION
DO NOT OPERATE SPA BEFORE READING THIS MANUAL
Failure to read this manual and follow its instructions may result in unsafe operation and or
permanent damage to your portable spa.
Most cities, counties, states, and countries require permits for exterior construction and electrical
circuits. In addition, some communities have codes requiring residential barriers such as fencing
and/or self-closing gates on the property to prevent unsupervised access to a pool or spa by
children. Be sure to check with your local agencies for specific requirements.
If you need additional information and/or assistance, please contact Customer Service at
888-961-7727 Ext. 8440 or at [email protected].

SAFETY INFORMATION
IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND FOLLOW ALL
INSTRUCTIONS
AVOIDING THE RISK TO CHILDREN
DANGER:
• 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 unless they are supervised at all
times. Children should be supervised to
not use the spa as a toy.
WARNING:
• To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit
children to use this product unless they
are closely supervised at all times.
• To reduce the risk of injury, lower water
temperatures are recommended for young
children. Children are especially sensitive
to hot water.
DO:
• Make sure you always lock the child
resistant locks after using the spa for your
children’s safety. Every spa is equipped
with a locking cover that meets the ASTM
F1346-91 Standard for Safety Covers.
• Test the water temperature with your hand
before allowing your child to enter the spa
to be sure that it’s comfortable. Children
are especially sensitive to hot water.
• Remind children that wet surfaces can be
very slippery. Make sure that the children
are careful when entering or exiting the
spa.
DON’T:
• Allow children to climb onto the spa cover.
• Allow children to have unsupervised
access to the spa.
AVOIDING THE RISK OF
ELECTROCUTION
RISK OF ELECTROCUTION:
• Connect only to a grounded source.
• Do not bury the power cord. A buried
power cord may result in death or serious
personal injury due to electrocution if direct
burial-type cable is not used, or if improper
digging occurs.
• A ground terminal (pressure wire
connector) is provided on the control
box inside the unit to permit connection
of a minimum No. 10 AWG solid copper
bonding conductor between this point and
any metal equipment, metal water pipe,
metal enclosures of electrical equipment,
or conduit within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the
unit as needed to comply with local
requirements.
WARNING:
• Your spa must use a Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter for user and equipment
protection. To ensure proper operation of
this important safety device, test according
to the following instructions per electrical
configuration.
115 VOLT, CORD-CONNECTED
MODELS:
• The GFCI is located at the end of the
power cord. Before each use, with the
unit operating, push the TEST button.
The unit should stop operating and the
GFCI power indicator will go out. Wait
30 seconds and then reset the GFCI by
pushing the RESET button. The GFCI
power indicator will turn on, restoring
power to the spa. If the interrupter does
not perform in this manner, there may
be an electrical malfunction and with
it, the possibility of an electric shock.
Disconnect the power until the problem
has been corrected.
NOTE: This will reset the filter cycle.

SAFETY INFORMATION
2
230 VOLTS:
• A ground terminal is provided on the
control box. To reduce the risk of electric
shock, connect this terminal to the
grounding terminal of your electrical
service or subpanel with a continuous
green, insulated copper wire. The wire
must be equivalent in size to the circuit
conductors supplying the equipment. In
addition, a bonding terminal (pressure wire
connector) is provided on the outside of
the control box for bonding to local ground
points. To reduce the risk of electric shock,
this connector should be bonded with
a No. 8 AWG solid copper wire to any
metal ladders, water pipes, or other metal
within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the spa to comply
with local requirements. The means of
disconnection must be readily accessible,
but must be installed at least 5 feet (1.5 m)
from the spa.
• Your spa requires a suitably rated circuit
breaker to open all ungrounded supply
conductors.
• Your spa must have a ground fault circuit
interrupter in an electrical subpanel.
Before each use of the spa and with the
unit operating, push the TEST button on
the breaker. The switch should click over
to the “Trip” position. Wait 30 seconds
and reset the GFCI breaker by switching
it completely off and then completely
on. The switch should then stay on. If
the interrupter does not perform in this
manner, it is an indication of an electrical
malfunction and the possibility of an
electric shock. Disconnect the power until
the fault has been identified and corrected.
IMPORTANT: Failure to wait 30 seconds
before resetting the GFCI may cause
the spa’s Power Indicator (on the control
panel) to blink. If this occurs, repeat the
GFCI test procedure.
DANGER: RISK OF
ELECTRICAL SHOCK
• Install spa at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from all
metal surfaces. A spa may be installed
within 5 feet (1.5 m) of a metal surface
if each metal surface is permanently
connected by a minimum No. 10 AWG
solid copper conductor attached to the
wire ground connector on the terminal
box that is provided for this purpose if in
accordance with National Electrical Code.
• Do not permit any electrical appliances,
such as a light, telephone, radio, or
television within 5 feet (1.5 m) of a spa.
Failure to maintain a safe distance may
result in death or serious personal injury
due to electrocution if the appliance should
fall into the spa.
• Install your spa in such a way that
drainage is away from the electrical
compartment and from all electrical
components.
DO:
• Be sure your spa is connected to the
power supply correctly - use a licensed
electrical contractor.
• Disconnect the spa from the power supply
before draining the spa or servicing the
electrical components.
• Test the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
before each use.
DON’T:
• Use the spa with the equipment
compartment door removed.
• Place electrical appliances within 5 feet
(1.5m) of the spa.
• Attempt to open the electrical control box.
There are no user serviceable parts inside.
