IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
DANGER:
Risk of Injury. The suction fittings in the Purfikt 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. Never replace a suction fitting
with one rated less than the flow rate marked on the original suction
fitting.
DANGER:
Risk of Accidental Drowning. Do not allow children to be
in or around the spa without adult supervision. Keep the Purfikt spa
cover on and locked when not in use. See instructions enclosed with
the cover for locking procedures.
DANGER:
Risk of Electrical Shock. The electrical supply for this
product must include a suitably rated switch or circuit breaker to
open all ungrounded supply conductors to comply with section
422-20 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. The
disconnect must be readily accessible and visible to the spa
occupant but installed at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from the Purfikt spa
water.
READ, FOLLOW AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
a)
A green colored terminal or a terminal marked G, Gr,
Ground, Grounding or the symbol * is located inside the
supply terminal box or compartment. To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this terminal must be connected to the
grounding means provided in the electric supply service
panel with a continuous copper wire equivalent in size to
the circuit conductors that supply this equipment.
b) At least two lugs marked “Bonding Lugs” are provided on
the external surface or on the inside of the supply
terminal box compartment. To reduce the risk of electric
shock, connect the local common bonding grid in the area
of the spa to these terminals with an insulated or bare
copper conductor not smaller than No. 6 AWG.
c) All field-installed metal components such as rails, ladders,
drains or other similar hardware within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the
spa shall be bonded to the equipment grounding buss with
copper conductors not smaller than No. 6 AWG.
when spa use exceeds 10 minutes. 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 water temperatures to 100 °F
(38 °C). If pregnant, please consult your physician before using
a spa. Before entering the spa, the user should measure the
water temperature with an accurate thermometer since the
tolerance of water temperature regulating devices may vary as
much as +/- 5 °F (2 °C). Persons suffering from obesity or a
medical history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure,
circulatory system problems or diabetes should consult a
physician before using the spa.
CAUTION:
Risk of Hyperthermia:
Hyperthermia occurs when
the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several
degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6 °F (37°C).
The symptoms of hyperthermia include drowsiness, lethargy,
and an increase in the internal temperature of the body.
Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia. A
description of the causes, symptoms, and effects of
hyperthermia are as follows:
•
Unawareness of impending hazard;
•
Failure to perceive heat;
•
Failure to recognize the need to exit spa;
•
Physical inability to exit spa;
•
Fetal damage in pregnant women; and
•
Unconsciousness and danger of drowning.
WARNING:
Children should not use the spa without adult
supervision.
WARNING:
Do not use the spa unless all suction guards are
installed to prevent body and hair entrapment.
WARNING:
People with infectious diseases should not use
a spa.
WARNING:
To avoid injury, exercise care when entering or
exiting the spa.
WARNING:
Do not use drugs or alcohol before or during the
use of a spa to avoid unconsciousness and possible
drowning. The use of alcohol or drugs can greatly increase
the risk of fatal hyperthermia in spas.
WARNING:
Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should
consult a physician before using a spa.
WARNING:
Water temperature in excess of 38 °C (100 °F)
may be injurious to your health. Before entering the
WARNING:
To Reduce the Risk of Injury:
The water in a spa should
never exceed 104 °F (40 °C). Water temperatures between 100 °F
(38 °C) and 104 °F (40 °C) are considered safe for a healthy adult.
Lower water temperatures are recommended for young children and
