WHEN INSTALLING AND USING THIS ELEC-
TRICAl EQUIPMENT, BASIC SAFETY PRE-
CAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOL-
LOWED, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING: 7. DANGER. RISK OF ELECTRICAl SHOCK.
Do not permit any electrical appliances, such as a
light, telephone, radio, or television within 5 feet
(1.5 m) of the spa.
READ AND FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS.
1. WARNING -To reduce the risk of injury, do
not permit children to use this product unless
they are closely supervised at all times.
8. WARNING. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
INJURY:
A. The water in a spa should never exceed 40
degrees Celsius (104 degrees F). Water tem-
peratures between 38 degrees C (100 F) and 40
degrees C (104 F) are considered safe for a
healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are
recommended for extended use (exceeding 10
minutes) and for young children.
2. DANGER. RISK OF ACCIDENTAL
DROWNING. Extreme caution must be exercised
to prevent unauthorized access by childrel:1. To
avoid accidents, ensure that children cannot use a
hot tub or spa unless they are supervised at all
times. B. Since excessive water temperatures have a
high potential for causingfetal damageduring
the early months of pregnancy, pregnant or
possibly pregnant women should limit spa or
hot tub temperatures to 38degreesC (100F).
3. A ground tennlnal (pressure wire connector)
is provided on the control box inside the unit to
permit connection of a minimum No.8 AWG (8.4
mm2) solid Copper bonding conductor between
this point and any metal equipment, metal water
pipe, metal enclosures of ele~cal equipment, or
conduit within five feet (1.5 m) of the unit. c. Beforeentering aspa,the usershould measure
the water temperature with an accuratether-
mometer, since the tolerances of water tem-
perature regulating devicesvary.
4. DANGER -To reducethe risk of injury to per-
sons,00 NOT remove suction fittings. The suc-
tion fittings in this spaares~ed to match the spe-
cific water flow createdby the pump. Should the
need arise to replace the suction fittings or the
pump, be surethat the flow rates are compatible.
Never operate the spa if the suction fittings are
broken or missing. Never replacea suction fitting
with one rated lessthan the flow rate marked on
the original suction fitting.
D. The use of alcohol, drugs or medication,
before or during spa use,may lead to uncon-
sciousnesswith the possibility of drow:tting.
E. Personssuffering from obesity or with amed-
ical history of heart disease,low or high blood
pressure,circulation system problen\S,or dia-
betesshould consult a physician beforeusing
aspa.
5. Install the spa so proper drainage is provid-
ed for the compartment containing the electrical
components. F. Persons using medication should consult a
physician before using a spa sincesome med-
ication may induce drowsiness, while other
medication may affect heart rate, blood pres-
sure and circulation.
6. DANGER -RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
Install at least 5 feet (1.5 m) lfrom all metal sur-
[!3 faces. (A spa may be installed within 5 feet of a

monthly.
Prolonged immersion in -water that is warmer
than normal body temperature can result in a
dangerous condition known as HypoTHER-
MIA. The causes, symptoms, and effects of
hypothermia may be described as follows:
Hypothermia occurs when the internal tempera-
ture of the body reachesa level several degrees
above the normal body temperature of 98.6
degreesF.The symptoms of hypothermia include
dizziness, fainting, drowsiness, lethargy, and an
increasein the internal temperature of the body.
The effects of hypothermia include (1) unaware-
nessof impending hazard, (2) failure to perceive
heat, (3) failure to recognize the need to exit the
spa, (4) physical inability to exit the spa, (5) fetal
damage in pregnant women, and (6) uncon-
sciousnessresulting in a danger of drowning.
Test the water with your hand
before entering the spato be sure it
is comfortable.
Rememberthat wet surfacescanbe
slippery. Take care when entering
and exiting the spa.
Usethe thermal cover when the spa
is not in use,empty or full.
DO
Take stepsto prevent the intrusion
of sand and dirt into the spa. WARNING -The use of alcohol, drugs, or med-
ication can greatly increase the risk of fatal
hypothermia in hot tubs and spas.
Maintain proper water chemistry.
Cleanthe filter cartridge weekly. Personstaking medications which induce drowsi-
nesssuch astranquilizers, antihistamines or anti-
coagulants should not use the spa. Pregnant
women and persons with a medical history of
heart disease,circulatory problems, diabetes or
high blood pressure should consult their physi-
cian before using the spa.
Usethe spafor long periods of time
at temperatures over 104F.
DON'T
DON'T Operate spa without water. Turn
circuit breaker off before emptying
the spaand while it is empty.
DONT Store chemicals in the spa's equip-
ment compartment. Children are especially sensitive to hot water. At
no time should children have unsupervised
accessto the spa.Theuseof elevateddecking may
encourage children to climb onto the thermal
cover -IT IS NOT DESIGNED AS A SAFETY
OR CHILD RESISTANT COVER!
Open the elecbical box. There are
no user serviceableparts inside.
DON'T
DON'T Operate the pump(s) on hi-speed
for extended periods of time with
the cover on. Extended hi-speed
pump operation will cause a slow
heat build-up due to water friction,
which could trip the spa's hi-limit
thermostat.
Every Vita Spacomeswith athermal cover which
is provided with locking straps. INSTALL the
locks for your child's safety.

NOTE: For best results, read each step carefully
and entirely before proceeding to the next.
I) FILL YOUR SPA
Wipe the interior of the spa with a damp, soft
cloth to remove any residue that may be 9n the
surface. Fill with a garden hose. As the spa is fill-
ing, check in the equipment access area for any
leaks. On occasion, it may be necessary to hand
tighten a union fitting that may have come
loose during transit. Also check that the gate
valves are pulled out to the open position and
that the hose bib is closed. Continue to fill to
the water level line.
c. Stardng Heater
After the filter has run for 15 seconds, the
heater will comeon and heat the water until it
reachesa temperature of 102 degrees.H this
takes longer than 6 hours, the filter will con-
tinue running. (Whenev~r the water reaches
the set temperature and heater turns off, the
filter will run one extra minute to cool the
heaterelement.)
NOTE: H your water is extremely' hard, it is
preferable to fill the spahalfway with hard water
and the rest with softened water. Never fill the
spaentirely with softenedwater.
2) GEnING STARTED NOTE: H water has not reached the set tem-
perature level after a filtration cycle, or after
you have used the spa, the filter and heater
will stay automatically on until the set tem-
perature hasbeenreached.

C. Changing Heater DaJs
Your spa has beenpreset to heat the water to
the settemperature every day of the week. If
you wish to eliminate heating on oneor more
days,touch the HEATER switch onceto enter
the heater setmode. While the HEATER light
is flashing, review each day of the week by
touching the UP or DOWN switches. If a par-
ticular day is set for heating, an "H" will be
displayed beside the day number. You can
remove (or add back) the "H" by touching the
HEATERswitch again.If you wish to stop the
heater before the set temperature is reached,
simply remove the "H" from the current day.
A. Automatic Blower/Purge & Jets Pump
Twice each day, the blower will automatically
run for 1 minute, lOam and 8pm, to circulate
potential stale water in the water lines. This is
a normal fW1ction of the spa.
8. Freeze ProtectIon
If the TEMPERATURE IN THE PLUMBING of
the spa approaches 40 degrees, the filter and jet
pumps will automatically come on and run for
at least one minute. H this doesn't raise the tem-
pera~ enough, the heater will come on and
raise the water temperature about 10 degrees.
4) USING THE SPA c. Ozone Generator MonItor
H your spa is equipped with an ozonegenera-
tor, the actual ultraviolet light from the gener-
ator will causethe OZONE light on the display
to glow, indicating proper operation of the

7) JET OPERATION
Your Vita Spais designed with a unique jet sys-
tem to allow you to selecta wide variety of mas-
sagepatterns. The following is a description of
the various types of jets and their operation you
may use to tailor your spa to your specific mas-
sageneeds.
EURO MASSAGE JET
These Euro jets are
used in various mod-
els for various purpos-
es. In cluster configu-
ration for back and
neck massage, they
.deliver a firm pin-
lllustratlon 4 point jet stream of
massaging action. The Euro jet is not direc-
tional, but can be pressure controlled by rotat-
ing jet face, or adjusting the air control.
THREE-WAY POWER DIVERTER VALVE
This feature is only
available on spas
equipped with the L60
or L80 series equip-
ment (Romance, Elan,
Allure and Essence).
This valve is function-
Dlustration2 al when the primary,
two speed pump is operating. Water may be
diverted to two individual sections of jets or a
combined operation of both sections. By turn-
ing the valve to the left, water will be diverted
to section" A" jets giving them the maximum
output. Rotating the valve completely to the
right will give section "B" the maximum out-
put and when its turned to the center position,
both "A " and "B" sections will operate simulta-
neously. (Seespecific spa spec sheet insert for

2. WINTERIZING YOUR SPA
Your VffA SPA has been designed and engi-
neeredfor year~roundusein any climate.
A. If the spa will not be used, drain it com~
pletely following the instructions on
MDRAINING THE SPA."
B. Hyou intend to usethe spaduring the winter,
keep the spa warm and set the timer to bring
the pump on at night and a couple hours dur-
ing the day. Note that accidental freezing
could result due to prolonged power failures.
(For winter temperature, someprefer to oper-
ate spa in low speed full time. This will not
damagethe spa,and it is very economical.
ANGER MASSAGE JETS
Located at various points in the
spa. Creates a "fmger massage"
action when blower is turned on.
Dlustration 7
Your VrrA SPAis manufactured with the highest
quality and most durable materials available. A
spa care and maintenance program is recom-
mended to increase your comfort, maintain the
spa'sreliability and protect your investment.
3. FILTER MAl NTENANCE
Vita Spas are designed with the most efficient top
loading filtration system in the industry. Filter
maintenance is the most critical factor in keeping
your spa water dean.
1. DRAINING YOUR SPA
Detergent residues from bathing suits as well as
soap film from your body may gradually accu-
mulate in the water. Foam inhibitors will sup-
pressthefoam but will not remove the soapfrom
the water. Eventually, the soap build-up in the
water will concentrate enough to leave an
unclean feeling on the user's skin, causesudsing
and make the water impossible to clarify.
Depending on the amount of soap input, the spa
water should lastbetween two and three months.
To cleanthe filter:
(NOTE: Never run spawithout filter)
A. Removethe cartridge and spray it with agar-
den hose.It will benecessaryto rotate the car-
tridge while spraying so as to thoroughly
remove the debris lodged between the filter
pleats.
B. Mer allowing to dry, inspect the cartridge for
calcium deposit (scaling) or an oil film. Rapid
mineral build-up from hard water, or oil build
up from the use of oil-based water scent or
body oil may coat the filter cartridge. A filter
cleanerto soakthe cartridge is available from
your VfIA SPAdealer and should be used as
part of your spamaintenance.
C. Use a rag to remove any debris at the bottom
of the filter housing. Replacethe cartridge.
D. We recommend the use of a spare filter. This
way one can be soaking and cleaning while
you continue to enjoy the use of your spa.
To drain your Spa:
A. Turn the power off at the GFO breaker.
B. Attach a garden hose to the yellow hose bib
located under the filter housing inside the
equipment area and route the outlet of the
.hose to an appropriate draining area.The spa
will empty by gravity. Siphon or scoopout the
balanceof the water.
IMPORTANT: Spawater with ahigh sanitizer
level may harm plants and grass.
H you aredraining your spafor the winter, be
sureto fully drain water from the pipe by dis-
connecting the two unions at the gate valves.
Drain the water pump by removing the pump
~ plug. Thenreinstall thevalvesand pump plug.
4. REDWOOD CABINET MAINTENANCE
Your VITA SPAcabinet is made with ahigh qual-
ity redwood. It is factory stained and sealed.
Depending on the location and exposure of ~e

spa to the rain and sun, it is recommended to seal
the redwood cabinet once or twice a year with a
wood sealant. Vita's specially formulated red-
wood sealer is available at your VITA SPA dealer.
Spa water maintenance consists of dime
separate, easily developed programs:
1.Sanitizing and maintaining a safelevel of sani-
tizer in the spa water.
2. Balancing the pH and maintaining the recom-
mended mineral content level.
5. MARINE VINYL COVER
Your cover is manufactured from a durable
marine grade, U.V; resistant,material. Even so,
monthly cleaning and periodic conditioning is
recommended to maintain its beauty. To clean
and condition the vinyl cover:
3.Achieving and maintaining water clarity.
SANlnZING
Todestr()ybacteriaand organic compounds in the
spawater, a sanitizer must be used regularly. The
use of abromine floater is recommended.By 'reg-
ulating the amount of tablets, the amount the
floater is open and the length of the filtration
cycles,you can control the amount of bromine in
your spa.A bromine residual of 2to 3ppm is gen-
erally considered desirable. A two-part bromine
system or granular chlorine (dichlor) are also
acceptablesanitizers.
A. Lightly spray the cover with a garden hoseto
rinse it and remove the debris.
B. Using a large sponge or soft cloth and a mild
soapsolution (1teaspoondish washing liquid
with 2gallons of water), scrub lightly in circu-
lar motion. Then rinSe it thoroughly with
plenty of water.
C. Condition the vinyl after cleaning by applying
a thin film of vinyl conditioner such as
ArmorAll. NOTE : To remove tree saps, use
lighter fluid (not charcoal lighter but the kind
used in cigarette lighters). Use sparingly and
rinse with mild soap s9'ution afterwards.
Wipe dry.
pII CONTROL
pH is a measure of acidity and alkalinity of the
spa water. The recommended pH for spawater is
7.4to 7.6ppm. Below 7.0(consideredneutral), the
spa water is acidic and can causedamage to the
heating system. Above 7.8the water is too alka-
line and canresult in cloudy water and scalefor-
mation on the spashell, heater and cover.
IMPORTANT: NEVER USE CHLORINE
TABLETS nRICHLOR) I. YOUR SPA.
This chemical can have an extremely corrosive
effecton ce~ materials in the spa.Also, the use
of liquids, chlorine or acid, arenot recommended.
Damage caused by use of these chemicals, or
improper use of any chemical, is not cqvered
under the spawarranty.
GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR WATER
QUALITY MAINTENANCE
Maintaining water quality within specific limits
will enhanceyour enjoyment and prolong the life
of the spa.Safe,comfortable and cleanspawater
is a fairly simple task to achieve, but it does
~quire regular attention becauseof the numerous
factors that canalter it. There is no oneformula to
be followed becauseof the variables, i.e. quality
of the water used to fill the spa, water tempera-
ture, user load, etc. For specific guidelines for
water quality maintenance, consult your VITA
SPA dealer who can assistyou to develop a pro-
gram basedon your specificneeds.Disregard for
water maintenance will result in poor soaking
conditions, damageyour spainvestment and pos-
sibly void your warranty.
