Part #7618 Manual Revised July 04

When installing your spa and using this equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, to include the following:
!READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS! The following instructions are required by UL 1583 standard to be
printed as a condition of their listing this product. They contain important safety information we strongly urge you to read
and apply.
!DANGER - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY: Do not permit children to use spa unless they are closely supervised
at all times.
WARNING SIGN MUST BE POSTED
The WARNING sign (RED) above is packed with your new Hydrospa Spa. This sign must be posted in a prominent place in close
proximity to the spa installation site immediately upon completion of spa installation.
!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
people under the influence of alcohol. If you did not receive a warning sign or your sign has become damaged, please
contact your spa dealer or manufacturer.
!DANGER - Awire connector is provided on this unit to connect a minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4mm2) solid copper conductor
between unit and any metal equipment, metal inclosures of electrical equipment, metal water pipe, or conduit, if that item is
located within 5 feet (1.5m) of the unit.
!DANGER - RISK OF ACCIDENTAL DROWNING: Extreme Caution must be exercised at all times, to prevent
unauthorized access by children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children cannot use spa unless they are supervised at all
times. Cover spa and use safety locks to prevent accidents.
!DANGER - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY: The suction fittings in the spa are sized to match the specific water
flow created by the pump/pumps. Should the need arise to replace the suction fittings or the pump/pumps, be sure that the
flow rates are compatible.
!DANGER - RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK: Install at least 5 feet (1.5m) from all metal surfaces. As an alternative, a
spa may be installed within 5 feet (1.5m) of metal surfaces if each metal surface is permanently connected by a minimum
No. 8 AWG (8.4mm2) solid copper conductor to the wire connector on the terminal box that is proved for this purpose. Do
not permit any electrical appliance, such as a light, telephone, radio or television within 5 feet (1.5m) of the spa, unless
factory installed.
!Position spa to provide proper drainage of the compartment for electrical components.
!For floor recessed spas, install to permit access for servicing from above or below floor.
!NEVER USE AN EXTENSION CORD!
!Consideration should be taken for water splash out. Water can ruin wood floors and some finishes.
!DO NOT use a wall switch, ground fault circuit interrupter, circuit breaker, fuse, or plugging and unplugging the spa as a
means of turning on or off your spa for normal everyday use.
!DO NOT block access door.
!Set the spa on a firm level (flat) surface. DO NOT set spa on blocks as structural damage may occur to spa.

WARNING - To reduce the risk of injury. The water in a spa should never exceed 40 C (104 F). Water temperatures
0 0 0 0
between 38 C(100 F) and 40 C (104 F) are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are
recommended for young children and when spa use exceeds 10 minutes.

!Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during early pregnancy, pregnant or
00
possible pregnant women should limit water temperatures to 38 C (100 F). Before entering a spa, the user should test the
water temperature with an accurate thermometer. The tolerances of water temperature-regulating devices vary. The use of
alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa use may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
Persons suffering from obesity, medical history or heart disease, low/high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or
diabetes, should consult a physician before using a spa. Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a
spa because some medications induce drowsiness while others may affect heart rate, blood pressure and circulation.
HYPERTHERMIA
Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia. Adescription of the causes, symptoms, and effects of hyperthermia are
as follows:
Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above the normal body temperature of
00
98.6 F (37 C). The symptoms of hyperthermia include drowsiness, lethargy, and an increase in the internal temperature of the body.
The effects of hyperthermia include.
!Unawareness of impending hazard;
!Failure to perceive heat;
!Failure to recognize the need to exit spa;
!Physical inability to exit spa;
!Fetal damage in pregnant women; and
!Unconsciousness and danger of drowning.
IMPORTANT: Because of the combined weight of the spa, water and users, it is extremely important that the base upon which the
spa rests be smooth, flat, level and capable of uniformly supporting this weight, without shifting or settling, for the entire time the spa
is in place. If the spa is placed on a surface which does not meet these requirements, damage to the skirt and/or the spa shell may
result. Damage caused by improper support is not covered under warranty. It is the responsibility of the spa owner to assure the
integrity of the support at all times. It is strongly recommended that a qualified licenced contractor prepare foundation for your spa.
Manufacturer recommends a poured, reinforced concrete slab with a minimum thickness of 4 inches (10cm). Wood decking is also
acceptable provided it is constructed so that it meets the requirements outlined above. The spa must be installed in such a manner as
to provide drainage away from the spa. Placing the spa in a depression without provisions for proper drainage could allow rain,
overflow and other casual water to flood the equipment and create a wet deck. Install so as to permit access to the equipment, either
from above or below, for servicing. Make certain that there are no obstructions which would prevent removal of the cabinet side
panels and access to the jets components, especially on the side with the equipment bay doors.
Outdoor Location
In selecting the ideal outdoor location for your spa, we suggest that you take into consideration:
1. The proximity to changing area and shelter (especially in colder weather conditions).
2. The pathway to and from the spa (free of debris, dirt, leaves as not to be tracked into spa).
3. The closeness to trees and shrubbery (leaves and birds could create extra work).
4. Asheltered environment (less wind, weather exposure resulting in lowered operation and maintenance costs).
5. The overall enhancement of your environment. It is preferable not to place the spa under an unguttered roof overhang since run-off
water will shorten the life expectancy of spa cover.
Indoor Location
Be sure your spa will fit into the space you have chosen. Proper access into the home is needed to move the spa into place.
Ventilation may be needed because of the humidity from the spa. In most cases, a spa cover is sufficient. Be sure to check the load
carrying capabilities of the floor you will be installing your spa, as most homes meet the requirement of 80lbs per square foot
(manufacturer not responsible). Insure you have proper drainage in the event of a leak or water spill due to over load of spa with
people causing water damage (manufacturer not responsible. Incase of maintenance problems, leave enough room around the spa to
work. Choose proper flooring area for spa.
