Important Safety Instructions
When installing and using this electrical equipment,
always follow basic safety precautions. Following these
instructions will help make your rst spa session a
pleasurable one.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: A licensed electrician may be required to upgrade
your standard receptacle and/or circuit breaker.
DANGER -- RISK OF ACCIDENTAL DROWNING:
Do not allow children to be in or around a spa unless
a responsible adult supervises them. Keep the spa
cover on and locked when not in use. See instructions
enclosed with your cover for locking procedures.
DANGER -- RISK OF INJURY: The suction ttings
in this spa are sized to match the specic water ow
created by the pump. Should the need arise to replace
the suction ttings, or the pump, be sure the ow rates
are compatible.
DANGER -- RISK OF INJURY: Never operate the
spa if the suction tting or lter baskets are broken or
missing.
DANGER -- RISK OF INJURY: Never replace a suction
tting with one that is rated less than the ow rate marked
on the original suction tting.
DANGER -- RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK: Install the
spa at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) from all metal surfaces.
As an alternative, a spa may be installed within 5 feet
of metal surfaces if each metal surface is permanently
bonded by a minimum #8 AWG solid copper conductor
to the outside of the spa’s control box.
DANGER -- RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK: Do not
permit any external electrical appliances, such as lights,
telephones, radios, televisions, and etc., within ve feet
(1.5 meters) of the spa. Never attempt to operate any
electrical device from inside the spa. This does not
apply to lights, stereos and televisions that are built into
the spa as factory options from Cal Spas™.
WARNING -- RISK OF INJURY
The spa water 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 young children and
when spa use exceeds 10 minutes.
High water temperatures have a high potential for
causing fetal damage during pregnancy. Women who
are pregnant, or who think they are pregnant, should
always check with their physician prior to spa usage.
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, a medical history of heart
disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system
problems or diabetes should consult a physician before
using the spa.
Persons using medications should consult a physician
before using the spa since some medications may
induce drowsiness while others may affect heart rate,
blood pressure and circulation.
Hyperthermia Danger
Prolonged exposure to hot air or water can induce
hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal
temperature of the body reaches a level 3˚F to 6˚F
above the normal body temperature of 98.6˚F (or 2˚C to
4˚C above 37˚C). While hyperthermia has many health
benets, it is important not to allow your body’s core
temperature to rise above 103˚F (39.5˚C). Symptoms
of excessive hyperthermia include dizziness, lethargy,
drowsiness and fainting. The effects of excessive
hyperthermia may include:
Failure to perceive heat
Failure to recognize the need to exit spa or hot tub
Unawareness of impending hazard
Fetal damage in pregnant women
Physical inability to exit the spa
Unconsciousness
WARNING: The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication
can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia.
