Safety Information
Page 3
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY:
• The water in the 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 extended use (exceeding ten minutes) and for young children.
Extended use can cause hyperthermia.
• Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit spa water temperatures to 100°F (38°C). Failure to do so may result in permanent injury
to your baby.
• Do not use spa immediately following strenuous exercise.
AVOIDING THE RISK OF SKIN BURNS:
WARNING:
• To reduce the risk of injury, before entering a spa the user should measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer, since the
tolerance of temperature-regulating devices may vary by as much as ±5°F (3°C).
• Test the water with your hand before entering the spa to be sure it’s comfortable.
SAFETY SIGN
Each Hot Spot
®
Spa is shipped with a SAFETY SIGN in the owner’s package. The sign, which is required as a condition of Product Listing, should
be permanently installed where it is visible to the users of the spa. To obtain additional SAFETY SIGNS, contact your Hot Spot dealer and request
Part #003021.
IMPORTANT SPA INSTRUCTIONS
The following contains important spa information, and we strongly encourage you to read and apply them.
DO:
• Use and lock the cover when the spa is not in use, whether it is empty or full.
• Follow the Spa Care and Maintenance recommendations stated in this manual.
• Use only approved accessories and recommended spa chemicals and cleaners.
DON’T:
• Leave the Hot Spot Spa exposed to the sun without water or the cover in place. Exposure to direct sunlight can cause solar distress of the
shell material.
• Roll or slide the spa on its side. This will damage the siding.
• Lift or drag the vinyl cover by using the cover lock straps; always lift or carry the cover by using the handles.
• Attempt to open the electrical control box. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Opening of the control box by the spa owner will
void the warranty. If you have an operational problem, carefully go through the steps outlined in the Troubleshooting section. If you are not
able to resolve the problem, contact your authorized Hot Spot Spa Dealer. Many problems can easily be diagnosed over the telephone by
an Authorized Service Technician.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
SITE PREPARATION
You probably have a spot picked out for your new spa, whether it’s indoors or outdoors, on a patio or on a deck. Just make sure you check the
following:
• Always put your spa on a structurally sound, level surface. A filled spa can weigh a great deal. Make certain that the location you choose
can support the weight of your filled spa.
• Don’t forget to level your spa before filling it (see Spa Leveling Preparation on next page).
• Locate your equipment compartment, which houses all of the electrical components, in a place where water will drain away from it.
Allowing water into the equipment compartment can damage the electronics, or may result in tripping your house’s circuit breaker.
• Leave yourself easy access to the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) for testing. The GFCI is located at the end of the power cord, or
at the subpanel of a hard-wired spa.
• Never let water get into the subpanel or into the electrical outlet that your spa is plugged into. Consult your local code authority to
determine if an electrical outlet with a cover is required for your installation.
• Leave access to the equipment compartment for periodic spa care and maintenance.
