SARATOGA SPA® SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read And Follow All Instructions
AVOIDING THE RISK TO CHILDREN
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.
• Toreducetheriskofinjury,donotpermitchildrentousethisspaunlesstheyareclosely
supervisedatalltimes.
•Toreducetheriskofinjury,lowerwatertemperaturesandcontrolthetimeofhotwater
exposureforyoungchildren.Childrenareespeciallysensitivetohotwater.
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. 8 AWG (8.4 mm) solid copper bonding
conductor between this point and any metal equipment, metal water pipe, metal
enclosures
of electrical equipment, or conduit within five feet (1.5 m) of the unit as needed to
comply with local requirements.
• To reduce the risk of electrocution, replace all damaged cords immediately. Failure to
do so may result in death or serious personal injury due to electrocution.
• Do not connect any auxiliary components (for example, additional cable speakers,
headphones or other audio components) to the audio system unless approved by
Saratoga Spa® Company.
• Do not self-service audio components by opening or removing the cover as this may
expose you to dangerous voltage or other risk of injury. Only qualified service personal
should service your spa and it's components.
• Do not attach an external antenna to a spa audio system unless it is installed by a
licensed electrician in accordance with Article 810 of the National Electric Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70.
AVOIDING 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. These units DO NOT have an internal ground fault
circuit interrupter. The installation of a ground fault circuit interrupter MUST be
done by a qualified Electrician and must meet all local and national codes. 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.

Saratoga Spa®
OWNER'S MANUAL
• Install at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from all metal surfaces. A spa may be installed within 5 feet
of a metal surface if each metal surface is permanently connected by a minimum No. 8
AWG (8.4 mm) 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 ANSI/NMFPA70-1993.
• Install your spa in such a way that drainage is away from the electrical compartment
and from all electrical components.
AVOIDING RISK OF INJURY
• To reduce the risk of injury to persons, DO NOT remove suction fittings located at
the bottom footwell of the spa.
• 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. Never operate the spa if the suction fittings are broken or
missing.
• There is a danger of slipping and falling. Remember that wet surfaces can be very
slippery. Take care when entering or exiting the spa.
• 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.
• 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.
• Water temperature in excess of 104ºF (38ºC) may be injurious to your health.
• 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.
• Persons using or having Implanted Pacemakers or Defibrillators should consult their
physician prior to using a spa, as there are risks of electrocution.
UNCLEAN WATER
• Keep the water clean and sanitized with correct chemical care.
• Maintain water chemistry in accordance with chemical manufacturer’s instructions.
Important:
• Turn the Jet Pump on high speed after adding ANY spa water chemicals into the spa. It will
operate for a 15 minute cycle before shutting off automatically.
• Clean the filter cartridges monthly to remove debris and mineral buildup which may
affect the performance of the jets, limit the flow, or cause a high limit problem.

OWNER'S MANUAL
AVOIDING RISK OF 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 98.6ºF. The symptoms of hyperthermia
include an increase in the internal temperature of the body, dizziness, lethargy,
drowsiness and fainting.
The effects of hyperthermia include:
1. Failure to perceive heat.
2. Failure to recognize the need to exit the spa or hot tub.
3. Unawareness of impending hazard.
4. Fetal damage in pregnant women.
5. Physical inability to exit the spa or hot tub.
6. Unconsciousness resulting in drowning.
Theuseofalcohol,drugs,ormedicationcangreatlyincreasetheriskoffatal
hyperthermiainhottubsandspas.
To Reduce The Risk of Injury:
• The water in the spa should never exceed 104°F (40ºC). Water temperatures
between 100°F (37.7ºC) and 104°F (40ºC) are considered safe for a healthy adult.
• Lower water temperatures are recommended for extended use (exceeding ten
minutes) and for young children. Extended use can cause hyperthermia.
• Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should consult with their physician before
entering a spa. Failure to do so may result in permanent injury to your baby.
• Do not use spa immediately following strenuous exercise.
AVOIDING RISK OF SKIN BURNS
• To reduce the risk of injury, before entering a spa the user should measure the
water temperature with an accurate thermometer, since the tolerance of temperature-
regulating devices may vary by as much as ±5°F.
• Test the water with your hand before entering the spa to be sure it’s comfortable.

Saratoga Spa®
OWNER'S MANUAL
Important:
The following contains important spa information, and we strongly encourage you to read
and apply them.
Do:
• Make sure you always lock the child resistant spa cover locks after using the spa for
your children’s safety. Every Saratoga 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 people to enter the spa to
be sure that it’s comfortable. Remember, children are especially sensitive to hot water.
• Remind children that wet surfaces can be very slippery. Make sure that children are
careful when entering or exiting the spa.
• Use and lock the vinyl cover when the spa is not in use, whether it is empty or full.
• Follow the Spa Care and Maintenance recommendations stated in this manual.
• Use only approved accessories and recommended spa chemicals and cleaners.
• Keep the spa cover locked when the spa is not in use.
• Check the equipment compartment monthly for any signs of tampering to the spa
equipment.
• Follow the maintenance instructions of the spa found in this owner’s manual.
• Be sure your spa is connected to the power supply correctly - use a licensed
electrical contractor.
• Test the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter(s) once a month.
• Place the spa on a level load bearing surface.
Don't:
• Allow children to climb onto the spa cover.
• Allow children to have unsupervised access to the spa.
• Leave the Saratoga Spa® exposed to the sun without water or the cover in place.
Exposure to direct sunlight can cause solar distress of the shell material.
• Lift or drag the vinyl cover by using the cover lock straps; always lift or carry the cover
by using the handles.
• Attempt to open the electrical control box. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
Opening of the control box by the spa owner will void the warranty. If you have an
operational problem, carefully go through the steps outlined in the Troubleshooting
section. If you are not able to resolve the problem, contact your authorized Saratoga
Spa® dealer. Many problems can easily be diagnosed over the telephone by an
Authorized Service Technician.
• Block or sit on the filter compartment area.
• Allow excessive weight to be placed on the spa cover. Doing so could damage the spa
cover and void any warranty.
• Use the spa with the equipment compartment door removed.
• Place electrical appliances within 5 feet (1.5m) of the spa.
• Block the equipment compartment vents. This could cause damage to the spa
equipment and will void the warranty.
