IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read and Follow All Instructions.
WARNING - To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times.
- A. WARNING - Risk of Child Drowning. Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent unauthorized access by children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children cannot use a spa or hot tub unless they are supervised at all times.
Connect to a grounded, grounding type receptacle only.
Do not bury cord.
WARNING - To reduce the risk of electrical shock, replace damaged cord immediately.
DANGER - To reduce the risk of injury to persons, do not remove suction fittings.
A pressure wire connector is provided in the Power Pack unit to permit connection of a minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm) solid copper bonding conductor between this point and any metal equipment, metal enclosures or electrical equipment, metal waterpipe, or conduit within 5 feet (1.5m) of the unit as needed to comply with local requirements.
This appliance is provided with a ground-fault circuit interrupter (located near the end of the power supply and with the unit operating, push the test button. The unit should stop operating and the reset button should pop out slightly. Push the reset button. The unit should now operate normally. If the interrupter fails to operate in this manner, there is a ground current flowing, indicating the possibility of an electrical shock. Disconnect the plug from the receptacle until the fault has been identified and corrected.
DANGER - RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Install at least 5 feet from all metal surfaces. A spa may be installed within 5 feet of metal surfaces if each metal surface is permanently connected by a minimum of #8 (SWG 8.4 mm) solid copper conductor attached to the wire connector in the Power Pack which is provided for this purpose.
DANGER - Risk of Electrical Shock. Do not permit any electrical appliance, such as a light, telephone, radio, or television, within 5 feet of spa or hot tub.
To reduce risk of injury:
- A. The water in a spa or hot tub should never exceed 40°C (104°F).Water temperatures between 38°C (100°F) and 40°C (104°F) are considered safe for a healty adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended for extended use (exceeding 10-15 minutes) and for young children.
- B. Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during the early months on pregnancy, pregnant or possible pregnant women should limit spa or hot water temperatures to 39°C (100°F).
- C. CAUTION: Before entering a spa or hot tub, the user should measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of water temperature-regulating devices may vary as much as +/-3°C (5°F).
- D. WARNING!! The use of alcohol, drugs or medication before or during spa or hot tub use can greatly increase the risk of fatal hypothermia. Hypothermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6°.
- E. The symptoms of hypothermia include; an increase in the internal temperature of the body, dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness, and fainting. The effects of hypothermia include; (1) failure to perceive heat, (2) failure to recognize the need to exit spa or hot tub, (3) unawareness of impending hazard, (4) fetal damage in pregnant women, (5) physical inability to exit spa or hot tub, and (6) unconsciousness resulting in the danger of drowning.
- F. Persons suffering from obesity or with a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes should consult a physician before using a spa or hot tub.
- G. Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a hot tub since some medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.
- H. Water chemistry should be properly maintained as described in this manual to prevent skin irritation.

ADDITIONAL WARNINGS

Never use an extension cord to connect the Power Pack to a power source. The cord could cause a voltage drop which may cause damage to the control and pump motor., and create a fire hazard.
Always operate Power Pack with the cord mounted GFCI in place and functional. Failure to do so could result in a shock hazard.
Always operate spa with sufficient water. Water level must be above filter. Insufficient water will cause pump failure and void warranty.
Maintain proper water PH (7.4 - 7.6 is ideal). Failure to do so may cause damage to vinyl liner, pump seals, heater element, and damage will not be covered by warranty.
Install spa only on floors or areas that can withstand repeated water exposure. Equipment failure as well as splashing, filling and draining will spill water. If located in a multi-story building, care must be taken to protect the objects on the floors below.
Install only on floors that can withstand the floor loading of your spa. If in doubt, please consult an architect or engineer to determine the floor rating before filing. See specifications.
Do not open Power Pack or the GFCI. Opening either component will void the warranty.
When storing, always drain all water from tub, plumbing and Power Pack, especially in freezing temperature as freeze damage is not covered by warranty.
Always maintain proper water sanitation with chemicals and routine cleaning. Warm water is an ideal place for bacteria to thrive. It is your sole responsibility to maintain proper water sanitation. Read the sections on water chemistry and filter maintenance.
Never add water to chemicals. Always add chemicals to water to avoid strong fumes or violent reactions that may result in hazardous chemical spray.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

SITE PREPARATION

A. Structure: Your spa should always be installed on a structurally sound, relatively smooth and level surface.
B. Electrical: The installation should be a grounded 120 volt outlet within 8 feet of the spa and allow for easy access to the cord mounted GFCI for periodic testing.
C. A copper wire connector is located in the Power Pack to permit connection of a minimum No. 8 A.W.G. solid copper bonding conductor between any metal equipment, water pipe, or metal enclosures within 5 feet of the spa as required to comply with the National Electric Code, or local requirements.

INDOOR INSTALLATION

Give special consideration to the following issues when installing your spa indoors.

Make sure the floor can support the total spa filled weight of 2569 pounds.
Install your spa on water resistant, non-slip floor. The floor should have a drain to remove water splashed from the spa. Do not install the spa on carpet or other material that will be damaged by moisture.
Take into consideration the room humidity which will exist due to high temperatures. Providing natural or forced ventilation in the room will help maintain comfort and minimize moisture damage to the surrounding environment.
Avoid installing the spa indoors on a second story above finished living space due to the possibility of water and humidity damage.
Allow enough clearance around the spa for full access to the spa equipment for service.

OUTDOOR INSTALLATION

Your spa may be installed on any level, smooth surface that is strong enough to support the filled unit. Observe the following considerations when deciding where to place your spa:

Make sure there are no sharp objects under the spa.
Do not install the spa on grass or dirt, as this will greatly increase the amount of debris entering the spa. Stepping stones or a solid wood 8 ft x 8 ft square platform, 5 to 9 inches in height, will provide a sufficient area for installation.
Verify that there is adequate room to place the spa and permit safe access.
Check local code requirements for restrictions (fencing, enclosures, child proof gates, etc.)
