IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF DROWNING, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR SERIOUS
INJURY, READ THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS BEFORE USING THE HYDROTHERAPY
SPA.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the hydrotherapy spa are
adequately informed of all precautions.
2. Use the hydrotherapy spa only as described
in this manual.
3. The hydrotherapy spa is intended for home
use only. Do not use the spa in any commer-
cial, rental, or institutional setting.
4. Use the hydrotherapy spa only on a level
surface. Do not use the spa on carpet or
other materials that could be damaged by
moisture. Do not use the spa on rough or
sharp surfaces such as gravel or wood
chips.
5. The hydrotherapy spa will weigh approxi-
mately 2,000 pounds (908 kgs) when it is
filled with water. Be sure that the location
you select for the spa will support this
weight plus the weight of the occupants.
6. Inspect and tighten all parts regularly; replace
any worn or missing parts immediately.
7. DANGER—Risk of injury: Do not remove or
alter the covers on the suction fittings. Never
operate the hydrotherapy spa if the suction
guard is missing or broken. If you need to
replace a suction fitting, be sure to use only
manufacturer-recommended parts. Keep hair
and body away from the suction guard. Do
not allow long hair to float freely in the
water; long hair should be restrained with a
bathing cap.
8. IMPORTANT: Do not allow the hydrotherapy
spa to be exposed to direct sunlight when it
is empty. The surface of the spa shell can
reach temperatures as high as 150°F (65°C)
in a matter of minutes if exposed to the sun
while it is empty. These high temperatures
can cause significant damage, such as blis-
tering of the shell surface and warping of the
spa shell. Any damage caused by sun expo-
sure is not covered under warranty.
9. Do not bring any object into the hydrothera-
py spa that could damage the spa shell.
10. Never insert any object into any opening.
11. Do not use breakable containers near or in
the hydrotherapy spa.
12. Do not sit on the spa cover or place objects
on it. It is not designed to support weight.
13. Remove any water or debris that may collect
on the spa cover.
14. Keep children under 12 and pets away from
the hydrotherapy spa when it is not in use.
15. Keep all chemicals away from children and
pets.
16. The pH and chemical balance of the water
must be maintained as explained in this man-
ual (see pages 10 and 14). Failure to do so
may cause injury to users or damage to the
spa, and will void the warranty.
17. Individuals with infections and open sores or
wounds should not use the hydrotherapy
spa. Bacteria thrive in warm and hot water.
Always keep the spa disinfected and main-
tain the proper chemical balance.
18. Shower before and after using the hydrother-
apy spa. This will remove any deodorant,
perspiration, or body oils that could contami-
nate the water. Showering after will remove
any residual chemicals and any bacteria that
may have been in the spa.
19. WARNING—The Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI), must be tested before
each use. To test the GFCI, press the “test”
button while the spa is running. The spa
should shut off. Press the “reset” button.
The spa should resume normal operation. If
the spa continues to run after the “test” but-
ton is pressed, then the GFCI is damaged.
