connector on the terminal box that is proved for this purpose. Do not permit any electrical appliance,
such as a light, telephone, radio or television within 5 feet (1.5m) of the spa, unless factory installed.
Position spa to provide proper drainage of the compartment for electrical components. For floor
recessed spas, install to permit access for servicing from above or below floor. Consideration should
be taken for water splash out. Water can ruin wood floors and some finishes.
DO NOT
use a wall
switch, ground fault circuit interrupter, circuit breaker, fuse, or plugging and unplugging the spa as a

on a firm level (flat) surface.
DO NOT
set spa on blocks as structural damage may occur to spa.
WARNING –
To reduce the risk of injury. The water in a spa should never exceed 40 degrees C (104
degrees F). Water temperatures between 38 degrees C (100 degrees F) and 40 degrees C (104
degrees F) are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended for
young children and when spa use exceeds 10 minutes. WATER TEMPERATURE IN EXCESS OF 38
DEGREES C MAY BE INJURIOUS TO YOUR HEALTH. AVERTISSEMENT: DES TEMPERATURES
DE L'EAU SUPERIEURES A 38C PEUVANT PRESENTER UN DANGER POUR LA SANTE.
L'AVERTISSEMENT: LA TEMPERATURE D'EAU DEPASSANT 38C MAI EST NUISIBLE A VOTRE
SANTE.
Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during early
pregnancy, pregnant or potentially pregnant women should limit water temperatures to 38 degrees C
(100 degrees F). Before entering a spa, the user should measure the water temperature with an
accurate thermometer. The tolerances of water temperature-regulating devices vary. The use of
alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa use may lead to unconsciousness with the
possibility of drowning. Persons suffering from obesity, medical history or heart disease, low/high
blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes, should consult a physician before using a
spa. Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a spa because some
medications induce drowsiness while others may affect heart rate, blood pressure and circulation.
HYPERTHERMIA –
Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hypothermia. A description of the
causes, symptoms, and effects of hyperthermia are as follows:
Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees
above the normal body temperature of 98.6 degrees F (37 degrees C). The symptoms of
hyperthermia include drowsiness, lethargy, and an increase in the internal temperature of the body.
The effects of hyperthermia include.
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.
INSTALLATION
Proper planning is an important consideration when installing your new spa. Site selection is a critical
step and should be given some serious thought. Planning ahead, before the delivery of your spa, will
make the process of installation easier. The following information is provided to assist you in site
preparations.
1) Check out the local building codes with respects to gates, fences etc.
2) Be sure the spa will have proper access to water, drainage and electricity.
