SUCTION GUARDS
The suction guard(s) in the footwell of your spa is an
opening through which the jet pump(s) draws water. The
suction fittings have an integrated vacuum release built into
them. In the event that a suction fitting gets blocked, air will
be induced causing the pump to cavitate and the water
flow interrupted. Once the blockage is removed, normal
operation will resume. Suction fittings are equipped with
a safety guard. Suction through the fittings can be strong.
The safety guard(s) must remain in place and undamaged.
A fitting with a damaged guard(s) can be dangerous, espe-
cially to small children or people with long hair. Should any
part of the body become drawn to a fitting, turn the jet pump(s) off immedi-
ately. Long hair should be restrained. Never allow long hair to float freely in the
spa. Replace any missing or damaged suction guard(s).
NOTE: It is normal for the flow rates of the suction fittings to vary from
strong to barely noticeable.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
It is the responsibility of the spa owner to ensure that all electrical connections
are made by a qualified electrician in accordance with all national, state, and
local electrical codes in effect at the time of installation. Fuses are covered to
be free of defect at time of installation only.
240 Volt
All connections must be made in accordance with the wiring diagram found
on the inside of the control box cover. Connections must be made with
copper conductors only – do NOT use aluminum wire. All conductors, circuit
breakers, and fuses and the GFCI must be sized in accordance to the total
amperage load as specified below.
Improperly wired spas can cause irreversible damage resulting in blown fuse
and melted terminal block, and to other electrical components. Also, dam-
age caused to components or equipment caused by high or low voltage,
brown outs or electric surges are not covered under warranty.
Safety guard of
suction fitting must
remain in place.
