IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety Instructions
When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic
safety precautions should always be followed, including the
following:
1. Read and follow all instructions:
2. WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit
children to use this product unless closely supervised at all
times.
3. A wire connector is provided on this unit to connect a solid
copper conductor between this unit and any metal
equipment, metal enclosures of electrical equipment, metal
water pipe, or conduit within 1.5m of the unit.
4. WARNING: For products provided with a cord-
connected, ground-fault circuit-interrupter, the RCD must
be tested before each use. If the RCD fails to operate
properly, disconnect the power until the fault has been
identified and corrected.
5. DANGER: Risk of Accidental Drowning. Extreme
caution must be exercised to prevent unauthorized access by
children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children cannot use
this spa unless they are supervised at all times.
6. DANGER: Risk of Injury. e suction fittings in the 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 that the flow rates are compatible. Never
operate the spa if the suction fittings are broken or missing.
Do not replace a suction fitting with one rated less than the
flow rate marked on the original suction fitting.
7. DANGER: Risk of Electric Shock. Install spa at least
1.5m from all metal surfaces. A spa may be installed within
1.5m of metal surfaces if each metal surface is permanently
connected by a minimum of 8.4mm2 solid copper conductor
to the wire connector on the terminal box that is provided
for this purpose.
8. DANGER: Risk of Electric Shock. Do not permit any
electrical appliances, such as a light, telephone, radio, or television
within 1.5m of the spa. ese units DO NOT have an integral
ground fault circuit interrupter. e installation of an integral
ground fault circuit interrupter MUST be completed by a
qualified Electrician and must meet all applicable electrical codes.
9. WARNING: To Reduce the Risk of Injury:
a. Water temperature in a spa should never exceed 40
˚
C.
Water temperatures between 36
˚
C and 40
˚
C are
considered safe for a healthy adult. Water temperature in
excess of 40
˚
C may be injurious to your health. Lower
temperatures are recommended for young children and/or
when spa use exceeds 10 minutes.
b. Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential
for causing fetal damage during the early months of
pregnancy, pregnant, or possibly pregnant, women should
limit spa usage when temperatures are in excess of 38
˚
C.
c. Before entering the spa, measure the water temperature
with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of water
temperature regulating devices varies.
d. e use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during
spa use may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of
drowning.
e. Persons suffering from obesity or a medical history of
heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory
system problems, and/or diabetes should consult a
physician before using a spa.
f. Persons using medication should consult a physician before
using a spa. Some medications may induce drowsiness while
other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and/or
circulation.
10. WARNING: PEOPLE WITH INFECTIOUS
DISEASES SHOULD NOT USE A SPA OR HOT TUB.
11. WARNING: TO AVOID INJURY, EXERCISE CARE
WHEN ENTERING OR EXITING THE SPA OR
HOT TUB.
12. WARNING: DO NOT USE A SPA OR HOT TUB
IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING STRENUOUS
EXERCISE.
13. WARNING: PROLONGED IMMERSION IN A SPA
OR HOT TUB MAY BE INJURIOUS TO YOUR
HEALTH.
14. CAUTION: MAINTAIN WATER CHEMISTRY IN
ACCORDANCE WITH MANUFACTURER’S
INSTRUCTION.
15. CAUTION: TEST THE RCD BEFORE EACH USE
OF THE SPA.
16. CAUTION: ADEQUATE DRAINAGE MUST BE
PROVIDED IF THE EQUIPMENT IS TO BE INSTALLED
IN A PIT OR INDOORS.
17. WARNING: Risk of Fatal Hyperthermia. Hyperthermia
occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a
level several degrees above the normal body temperature of
37
˚
C. e symptoms of Hyperthermia include dizziness,
lethargy, drowsiness, and fainting. e use of alcohol, drugs,
and/or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal
Hyperthermia. e effects of Hyperthermia include:
• Unawareness of impending hazard
• Failure to perceive heat
• Failure to recognize the need to exit the spa
• Physical inability to exit the spa
• Fetal damage in pregnant women
• Unconsciousness and danger of drowning
18. WARNING: Risk of Children Drowning. Your spa cover
is not rated as a safety cover. It is always wise to keep
the spa cover securely fastened when not in use. is
