RISKS TO AVOID
DANGER: RISK OF INJURY
• DO NOT sit in the filter compartment area. Sitting in this area can cause:
a) Restriction of Filter Pump suction/vacuum b) Damage to components
• Both can result in bodily harm. Should damage occur to components in this area, replace
immediately!
To reduce the risk of injury to persons, DO NOT remove floating weir, basket, and filter located in
the filter compartment while the spa is running.
• The suction fittings in the spa are sized to match the specific water flow created by the pump. Never
replace a suction fitting with one rated less than the flow rate marked on the original suction fitting.
• There is a danger of slipping and falling. Remember that wet surfaces can be very slippery. Take
care when entering or exiting the spa.
• Never operate spa if the suction fittings are broken or missing.
• People with infectious diseases should not use the spa.
• Keep any loose articles of clothing or hanging jewelry away from rotating jets or other moving
components.
Increased side effects of medication
• The use of drugs, alcohol or medication before or during spa use may lead to unconsciousness with
the possibility of drowning.
• Persons using medications should consult a physician before using a spa; some medication may cause
a user to become drowsy, while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.
• Persons taking medications which induce drowsiness, such as tranquilizers, antihistamines or
anticoagulants should not use the spa.
Health problems affected by spa use
• Pregnant women should consult a physician before using spa.
• 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 spa.
Unclean water
• Keep the water clean and sanitized with correct chemical care. The recommended levels for your
spa are: Free Available Chlorine (FAC):
3.0-5.0 ppm Total Alkalinity:
40 - 120 ppm
Water pH:
7.2 - 7.8
Calcium Hardness: 50- 150 ppm
IMPORTANT:
Turn jet pump on for at least ten minutes after adding ANY spa water
chemicals into the filter compartment.
• Clean the filter cartridge monthly to remove debris and mineral buildup which may affect the
performance of the hydromassage jets, limit the flow, or trip the high-limit thermostat which will turn
off the entire spa.
AVOIDING THE RISK OF HYPERTHERMIA
Prolonged immersion in hot water can result in HYPERTHERMIA, a dangerous condition which
occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level above normal 37ºC. The symp-
toms 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, and unconsciousness resulting in a danger of drowning.
