IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
When installing and using this electrical equipment,
basic safety precautions should be followed, including
the following:
READ AND FOLLOW
ALL INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING - To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children
to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times.
DANGER - RISK OF CHILD DROWNING.
Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent unauthorized access
by children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children cannot use the
spa unless they are supervised at all times.
NOTE: A wire connector is provided on this unit to connect of a
minimum No. 4 AWG minimum 75˚C copper conductor between
this unit and any metal equipment, metal enclosures of electrical
equipment, metal water pipe, or conduct within 5 feet (1.52 m) of the
unit.
DANGER - RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Install spa at least five (5) feet (1.52 m) from all metal surfaces. A spa
may be installed within five (5) feet (1.52 m) of metal surfaces if, in
accordance with the National Electrical Code, each metal surface is
permanently connected by a minimum No. 4 AWG (6. mm) minimum
75˚C copper conductor attached to the wire connector on the terminal
box. A grounding lug is provided for this purpose.
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.
NOTE: Never operate the spa if the suction fittings are broken or
missing. Never replace a suction fitting with one rated less than the
flow rate marked on the original suction fitting.

DANGER - To reduce the risk of injury to persons, do not
remove the suction grate. Suction through drains and skimmers is
powerful when the jets in the spa are in use. Damaged covers can be
hazardous to small children and adults with longhair. Should any part
of the body be drawn into these fittings, turn off the spa immediately.
As a precaution, long hair should not be allowed to float in the spa.
WARNING. Install the spa so that water can be easily drained
out if the comparment containing electrical components so as not to
damage equipment. Also, when installing spa, allow at least 2 feet of
clearance around the perimeter of the spa to provide enough room
to access for servicing. Contact your local dealer for their specific
requirements.
WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
INJURY:
• REMINDER - Never allow anyone to dive into a spa.
Always enter feet first.
• Always enter and exit a spa slowly.
• Do not use the spa alone.
• Before entering the spa, always measure the water temperature
with an accurate thermometer. Tolerance of water temperature
regulating devices can vary as much as plus/minus 5˚ F (3˚ C).
• Persons suffering from obesity or with a medical history of
heart disease, diabetes, high or low blood pressure or
circulatory system problems should consult a physician before
using a spa.

Congratulations on the purchase of your new spa. Our goal is to provide
you with a warm and relaxing spa which incorporates a soothing water
massage. In order to maximize the pleasure of your spa, you will need to
understand how it works.
The following operating and maintenance instructions are very important
and must be followed carefully. With proper care and maintenance your
spa will provide you with years of satisfaction with minimum effort.
• The pump and heater should be operated a minimum of two hours
per day for cleaning and heating.
• The length of time required to heat your spa to the desired water tem
perature will vary, depending on the air temperature, season, and
wind velocity. We highly recommend using a vinyl hard cover to
minimize heat loss and to protect your spa when not in use. Covers
are available from your local spa dealer.
• The replaceable filter cartridge is trouble free and easy to clean. A
routine cleaning is the best practice. Make sure the pump is off, then
remove the cartridge. Wash it off using a water hose with a pressure
nozzle and then reassemble. This should be done on a monthly basis.
• Keep the spa water level 2” above the skimmer. Never allow the water
level to drop below the bottom of the skimmer opening. If the water
level is too low, the skimmer will allow air into the water lines of the
pump, causing it to lose its prime (waterflow). Running the pump
without water flow will damage the pump seal assembly and could
possibly result in further equipment damage, which will not be cov
ered under warranty.
• If your spa has a natural wood skirt or if you purchased a gazebo, we
recommend applying a wood sealer of your choice (always follow ap
plication instructions) to protect the finish. Repeat as directions sug
gest.
• You should clean your spa at least every 3-4 months. Drain the spa
water and use a gentle liquid cleanser. DO NOT use hard brushes
or abrasive cleaners. Fill with regular tap water and chemically treat
the water for a clean and healthy spa.
BASIC INFORMATION
CAUTION!
CAUTION: Cover must be kept on spa at all times when spa
is drained or winterized. Direct exposure to sunlight can damage
plastic parts and interior surface, jets, or any interior components.
Damage caused by exposure to the sun will not be covered under
warranty.
Do not use soft water. It may harm your acrylic.
WARNING!
Spa Operator’s Guide

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION REQUIREMENT’S
HAVE YOUR ELECTRICIAN READ THE FOLLOWING
INFORMATION BEFORE INSTALLATION BEGINS
Electrical connections made improperly, or the use of wire gauge sizes
for incurring power which are too small, may continually blow fuses
in the electrical equipment box, may damage the internal electrical
controls and components, may be unsafe an in any case will void the
warranty.
It is the responibility of the spa owner to ensure that electrical
connections are made by a qualified electrician in accordance with
the National Electrical code and any local and state electrical codes in
force at the time of installation.
These connections must be made in accordance with the wiring
diagrams found inside the control box. This equipment has been
designed to operate on 60Hz, alternating current only, 240 volts
are required. Make sure that power is not applied while performing
electrical installation. A copper bonding has been provided on the
electrical equipment pack to allow connection to local ground points.
The ground wire must be at least 6 AWG copper wire and must be
connected securely to a grounded metal surface such as a cold
water pipe. The electrical supply for your spa must include a 60 AMP
switch or circuit breaker to open all non-grounded supply conductors
to comply with section 422-20 of the National Electrical Code. This
disconnect must be readily accessible to the spas occupants, but
installed at least five feet from the spa located within site. A ground
fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) must be used to comply with section
680-42 of the National Electrical Code. A ground fully is a current leak
from any of the supply conductors to ground. A GFCI is designed to
automatically shut off power to a piece of equipment when a current
fault is detected.
Power hook-up to the spa must be a 240 volt 3 wire plus ground (6
AWG copper).
Route the cable into the equipment area for final hookup to terminals
inside the control panel. The spa must be hooked up to a “dedicated”
240 volt, 60 amp breaker and GFCI. The term “dedicated” means
the electrical circuit for the spa is not being used for any other
electrical items (patio lights, appliances, garage circuits, etc.) If the
spa is connected to a non-dedicated circuit, overloading will result in
“nuisance tripping” which require resetting of the breaker switch at the
house electrical panel.
(Excludes any 110/120 volt models.)
