Important Safety Instructions
When installing and using this electrical equipment, always follow basic safety precautions. Following these
instructions will help make your first spa session a pleasurable one.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to use the spa unless they are supervised at all
times.
All 110V spas require a DEDICATED 20 AMP GFCI SERVICE. Do not use extension cords.
NOTE: This may require a licensed electrician to upgrade your standard receptacle and/or circuit breaker.
All 220V spas require a DEDICATED 50 AMP GFCI SERVICE WITH FOUR #6 AWG COPPER WIRES.
DANGER -- RISK OF ACCIDENTAL DROWNING: Use extreme caution to prevent unauthorized access by
children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children cannot use the spa unless they are closely supervised at all
times. (Keep the spa cover on and locked when not in use. See instructions enclosed with your cover.)
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 the flow rates are
compatible.
DANGER -- RISK OF INJURY: Never operate the spa if the suction fitting or filter baskets are broken or
missing.
DANGER -- RISK OF INJURY: Never replace a suction fitting with one that is rated less than the flow rate
marked on the original suction fitting.
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 electrical appliances, such as lights, telephones,
radios, televisions, and etc., within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of the spa. Never attempt to operate any electrical device
from inside the spa.
WARNING -- RISK OF INJURY
• Before entering a spa, measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer, since the tolerance of
water temperature-regulating devices varies.
• 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.
• Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during pregnancy during
early months of 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.
