To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this
product unless they are closely supervised at all times.
Risk of Electric Shock. Install at least 5 feet (1.5) from all metal sur-
faces.As an alternative, a spa may be installed within 5 feet of metal
surfaces if each metal surface is permanently connected by a mini-
mum No. 8AWG (8.4mm) solid copper conductor to the wire con-
nector on the terminal box that is provided for this purpose.
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.
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 peo-
ple under the influence of alcohol. If you did not receive a warning
sign or your sign has become damaged, please contact your spa deal-
er and ask for sign number PL601030.
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 tempera-
ture with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of water tem-
perature-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 med-
ication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.
(For cord-connected/convertible units)
A. Replace damaged cord immediately
B. Do not bury cord
C. Connect to a grounded, grounding type receptacle only.
4A. (For units with a GFCI)
WARNING - This product is provided with a ground-fault circuit inter-
rupter (GFCI) on the end of the spa’s power cord.This GFCI must be
tested before each use.With the product operating depress the “test”
button on the GFCI.The spa should not operate. Depress the “Reset”
button on the GFCI.The product should now operate normally. If the
spa fails to operated 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 Licensed Electrician.
A wire connector is provided on this unit to connect a minimum No.
8AWG (8.4mm) solid copper conductor between this unit and any
metal equipment, metal enclosures of electrical equipment, metal
water pipe, or conduit within 5 feet (1.5m) of the unit.
(For permanently installed units) The electrical supply for this product
must include a suitable 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 inter-
rupter (GFCI).Any GFCI circuit breaker used in the house panel must
read current returning through the neutral conductor. 230 Volt 2 con-
ductor GFCI circuit breakers will not operate correctly for your appli-
cation.
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.
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.
THIS SPA IS FOR RESIDENTIAL USE ONLY!

Important Spa Safety Precautions
Save These Instructions!
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.
1. Never permit the spa to be used
unless it is attended by at least one
person other than the bather.
5.
Hot water can raise the body temperature
high enough to cause heat stroke.
6. Prolonged immersion in hot water
may induce hyperthermia
7. WARNING-The use of alcohol, drugs,
or medication can greatly increase
the risk of fatal hyperthermia in hot
tubs or spas
2. Always use care in and around your spa
3. Keep the water sanitary and healthful
at all times
4. The water in your spa should NOT be
warmer than 100˚-104˚F (38-40C)
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.
Hyperthermia occurs when internal body temperature reaches a
level several degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6F
(36.6C).The symptoms of hyperthermia include: (1) dizziness, (2)
fainting, (3)drowsiness, (4) lethargy, (5) increases in the internal body
temperature.The effects of hyperthermia include: (1) unawareness of
impending hazard, (2) failure to perceive heat, (3) failure to recog-
nize the need to exit spa, (4) physical inability to exit spa, (5) uncon-
sciousness resulting in danger of drowning.
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 is a depressant which causes 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 is
not a preventative measure since they are likely to become similarly
affected by the combinations of alcohol 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, or high
blood pressure should check with their physician before using spas.
Additionally, people taking medications causing drowsiness, such as tran-
quilizers, narcotics, antihistamines, or anticoagulants should not use spas
without asking their physician.
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 par-
ticularly vulnerable, and they should be warned against danger.
The spa has many rigid, unyielding parts and many areas that become
wet and slippery; these are all potentially dangerous when rough play
is permitted or if care is not used particularly when entering or leav-
ing the spa.
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.
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.
Always keep an accurate thermometer in the water because your spa’s
thermostat may be in error. Use a high quality, shatterproof thermome-
ter 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 eventu-
ally become uncomfortable (like a fever).At higher water temperatures
the soaking time should be shorter; never soak for more than 20 min-
utes 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.
8. Broken or missing drain covers
should be replaced immediately
DO NOT :
Do not u se 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
Licensed Electrician!

Selecting A Good Location
See pages 1, and 2 for other safety requirements and instructions
READ ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
1. Licensed Electrician Required 2. No Overhead Power Lines
3. Childproof Your Spa 4. UL Safety Cover Required
Electrical installation, approval of and connection to, power
source must be completed by a qualified licensed electri-
cian in compliance with all codes.
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.
In addition to its insulating factors, a good cover, also pro-
vides a measure of additional protection from unwanted
access. Select a cover which is classified by the
Underwriters Laboratories meeting ASTM F1346-91 require-
ments.
Do not locate your spa under overhead power lines or in
near proximity to existing buried or exposed electrical cir-
cuits. See your Electrician
Your new spa will provide you and yours with hour upon hour of healthy, relax-
ing enjoyment.The following suggestions and recommendations will help you
select a safe and compatible site for your spa maximizing your enjoyment.
The site must provide a solid foundation with a minimum load bear-
ing capacity of 75 pounds per square foot (33.75 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 spas internal frame.
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 dispense
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 proper support for the foot
well in conjunction with Spa cabinet can not 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 warran-
ty!

Winterizing Your Spa
Filling Your Spa
fig. 1
Warning: Allowing the spa water to freeze will cause
severe damage to the spa shell, equipment, and plumbing
3. Remove Drain Valve Safety Cap
2. Remove Spa Drain Hose 4. Attach Hose & Select Safe Suitable Drain
Remove the spa drain hose located in a storage compart-
ment which is located under the lower corner of
the spa as you are facing the console. See arrow.
Remove safety drain cap and store for use when refilling
your spa.Attach a standard garden hose to the drain
valve.
Filling your spa is the first step in maintaining water
quality and chemical balance. Use only clear,
uncontaminated potable water when filling the spa.
Water Level
The correct water fill level varies with each indi-
vidual installation. Every person entering a spa
displaces a given volume of water.
Suggested “Fill Range” Provided
A fill range label has be placed on the surface
skimmer face plate at the factory (see fig. 1).This
label has a suggested minimum and maximum fill
levels that will provide a starting point for select-
ing 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 page 14 & 15.
Route the hose to a sewer drain capable of safely assimi-
lating 300 plus gallons of water which may contain both
unsanitary contaminants and chemical residue. Open
drain valve.
Draining Your Spa
(Warning: Do not supply power to an empty Spa!)
1. Turn Power Off
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.
Turn power off at the spa consoles and deactivate discon-
nect switches at the GFCI plug or load center.
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.
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 is 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 degrees F at the heater, then all the equipment is
automatically activated to provide freeze protection.This equipment stays on until
the sensor detects 45 degrees F at the heater.
WARNING: We strongly recommend that you inspect and test your spa and con-
trols on a daily basis during periods when temperatures are below 32 degrees F.
Every installation is different and many factors contribute to possible freeze dam-
age situations; rate of temperature drop thermal cover insulating properties, ther-
mal 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.
WARNING: DO NOT SUPPLY POWER TO AN EMPTY SPA!

Cleaning Your Spa Filter
Proper care and cleaning of your spa filter is very impor-
tant 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.
Skim Filter
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 water sensing devise 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.
1. Activate the Stand by mode or turn off electical
power. Remove filter cover and set a side.
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

Water Purification & Maintenance
You Deserve Pure, Crystal Clear Water...
Pure, crystal clear water is part of the reward you
receive for owning your very own spa.And 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 divid-
ed into two categories, Regular and Special.“Regular” tasks
included 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 increase
in 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 signifi-
cantly simplify your spa maintenance.
Starting Point For Developing A Use/Maintenance Routine...
No hard set rules can be established for creation of a spa mainte-
nance program since each individual spa has its own unique loca-
tion 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.
Water Balance Is Critical
Unlike ordinary drinking water, spa water is held captive in your spa and
is used over and over.All water contains minerals, metals and other dis-
solved solids. In the case of spa water these materials tend to concentrate
due to normal usage and evaporation.Therefore it is critical that you test
and treat your spa water to maintain proper balance.

IMPROPER WATER BALANCE WILL DAMAGE YOUR SPA’S SHELL & EQUIPMENT.
pH
pH is the measure of the degree of pH acidity or Alkalinity of pool water. Practically
speaking, it tells if water is neutral or how far away from neutral.
pH is a measure on a scale, to which numbers have been assigned, from 1 to 14, 7 is
the middle of the scale and is considered exactly neutral. Readings below 7 are increas-
ingly acidic, above 7 are increasingly basic or alkaline. Under normal conditions, it has
been found that the proper pH for spa water is approximately 7.5 with pH 7.2-7.7
being an acceptable range.The chart above indicates different tendencies at assigned
pH readings and what chemical to add.
Total Alkalinity
Alkalinity represents the amount of alkaline minerals in water. It is the measure of the
buffering capacity or resistance to a change in pH of water. It minimizes changes in pH,
making pH easier to control.Alkalinity and pH are sometimes confused. pH is a measure
of DEGREE of acidity of water.Alkalinity is a QUANTITATIVE measure, telling you the
total amount or quality of alkaline minerals present.The proper alkalinity range is 80-
120 ppm. If alkalinity is allowed to drift, corrosion or scaling may result. Have your spa
water tested periodically for alkalinity by a qualified dealer.
Calcium Hardness
Total Hardness is used to describe the total amount of dissolved calcium and magne-
sium bicarbonates, as well as smaller quantities of other minerals, in water. Unbalanced
water, high in hardness, can cause water to become cloudy. Scale can form inside pipes
restricting water flow reducing their efficiency. Scale can also discolor a spa's
interior.On the other hand, low hardness and unbalanced water can contribute to corro-
sive water conditions.Therefore, a certain amount of hardness is desirable.The desired
range is between 100-200 ppm. Once again, your water should be tested periodically
for hardness.

Cleaning The Spa
From time to time it will be necessary to clean the exposed
surface areas of you spa shell and cabinet. Do not use cleaners
or compounds that contain harsh abrasives or caustic chemicals.
Avoid using rubbing or buffing compounds.
Water Marks On Spa Shell
Water marks on the spa shell are best removed by applying a com-
mercially available alcohol base window washing compound such
as plain Windex to a soft rag or paper towel and wiping the surface
in a circular motion.
Removing Tub Ring
Tub ring is best removed with a specialized commercially available
cleaner such as Sun Surface Cleaner.Ask your local dealer
for recommendations.Always apply with a soft wet sponge or
paper towel.
Cleaning The Spa Cabinet
Use a mild dish detergent diluted with tap water and applied with a
soft wet sponge or paper towel to clean the spa cabinet. Never use
abrasive or caustic compounds.
Do not use cleaners or compounds that contain harsh abrasives or caustic
chemicals. Avoid using rubbing or buffing compounds.
