Common sense should prevail.
• Never use the swim spa when you are alone.
• One (1) individual must assume the responsibility for super-
vising the swim spa.
• Never use the swim spa while or after using narcotics or
other drugs that may cause sleepiness, drowsiness or
raise/lower blood pressure.
• Never use the swim spa while or after using alcohol.
• Be sure you check the water temperature before and while
you are in the swim spa.
• Persons with heart disease, diabetes, high or low blood pres-
sure or any serious illness, and pregnant women – indeed
persons with any doubt – should not enter the swim spa
without prior consultation with their doctor.
• To maintain clean spa water, it is a good idea to shower with
soap and water before using your swim spa to wash off skin
oils, lotions and deodorants.
• Plan ahead to prevent accidents and injuries and make your
entertaining or workout truly enjoyable. Use only unbreak-
able items around your swim spa.
• At least one (1) responsible person should be trained in
artificial respiration and/or cardiopulmonary resuscitation
(CPR).
Spa Preparation.
• Have a licensed electrician wire the spa equipment through a
GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter).
• Where possible, use battery-operated appliances around the
swim spa. Electrocution from appliances in contact with the
water is a real danger.
• Carefully read, understand and follow operating and mainte-
nance instructions supplied by EPI. It is a good general rule
to visually inspect your swim spa and equipment regularly.
If you detect something unusual, contact our Customer
Service Department at 1-800-910-2714.
• Never perform work on your swim spa or filter equipment
without turning the entire system off at the breaker(s).
• Carefully follow the instructions for maintaining, servicing
or repairing your swim spa. If you are at all unsure of how
to proceed, call our Customer Service Department at 1-800-
910-2714.
• For health reasons, make sure the spa water is properly
cleaned and disinfected.
USING CHEMICALS IN YOUR ENDLESS
POOL SWIM SPA
The chemicals needed for your Endless Pool Swim Spa help make
it clean, disinfected and more attractive to use. Remember, these
chemicals are potentially dangerous and may be hazardous if not
used properly. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully
for proper use and storage of chemicals.
Outlined are some general tips for proper chemical use
and storage:
• Before using chemicals, read the labels and directions fully
and carefully.
• Follow label use on instructions.
• Keep all chemicals out of reach of children.
Storage:
• Chemicals for test kits should be replaced every year.
• Keep the original lids on all chemical containers and make
sure the lids are closed tightly when not in use.
• Do not stack different chemicals on top of one another.
• Store your swim spa chemicals in a clean, cool, dry, well-
ventilated area preferably off the floor to prevent contamina-
tion from other materials. Keep them away from the chemi-
cals and equipment used for garden and/or lawn mainte-
nance.
• Keep liquid chemicals away from dry chemicals. Keep apart
chemicals that are different forms of oxidizing compounds.
Physically separate all different forms of chemicals.
• Do not store your swim spa chemicals where other flamma-
ble items may mix with them. For example, a mixture of
these chemicals and fertilizer can cause a fire or an explo-
sion.
Usage:
• Always add chemicals directly to the swim spa water, either
in a suitable feeder, distributed across the surface of the
water or diluted and poured into the water. Follow label use
instructions.
• When preparing water solutions for feeder applications, pour
the chemical slowly into the appropriate amount of water,
stirring constantly to provide mixing and dilutions.
• Always add chemicals to water. NEVER ADD WATER TO
CHEMICALS.
• Carefully clean up any spilled chemicals with large amounts
of water to dilute and wash away the chemicals.
Disinfectants and pH adjustment chemicals can usually be
sent to the sewer with large quantities of water since they are
intended for use at low levels.
• Wash out empty disinfectant containers before disposing to
eliminate danger of fire, explosion or poisoning.
• Test the water in your swim spa with a reliable test kit. Add
the necessary chemicals according to the test results and the
manufacturer’s instructions. The hotter the water, the faster
disinfectants may break up and spread out requiring more
frequent water testing. In addition, the more people who use
the swim spa, the more frequently you should test the water.
• Do not inhale dust or fumes from any chemicals. If neces-
sary, use proper protective devices for breathing, handling
and eye protection. Promptly wash off any residues that
come in contact with your skin.
• Never reuse old chemical containers unless specified by the
manufacturer.
