unconsciousness and possible drowning
Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should consult a physician before using a spa or hot 
tub.

Before entering a spa or hot tub measure the water temperature with an accurate 
thermometer.
Do nut use a spa or hot tub immediately following strenuous exercise.
Prolonged immersion in a spa or hot tub may be injurious to your health.
Do not permit any electric appliance (such as a light, telephone, radio, or television) within 5 
feet (1.5m) of a spa or hot tub.
The use of alcohol, drugs or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in 
hot tubs and spas. 
Water temperature in excess of 100°F (38°C) may be hazardous to your health.

WARNING:

 A terminal bar marked “GROUND” is provided with the control center. To reduce 

the risk of electrical shock, connect this terminal bar to the grounding terminal of your electric 
service or supply panel with a continuous copper conductor having green insulation and one 
that is equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying this equipment, not smaller than no. 
12 AWG (3.3mm). In addition, a second wire connector should be bonded with a no. 8 AWG 
(4.115mm) copper wire to any metal ladders, water pipes, or other metal within five (5) feet 
(1.52m) of the tub.

WARNING: 

A ground-fault circuit-interrupter must be provided if this device is used to control 

underwater lighting fixtures. The conductors on the load side of the ground-fault circuit-
interrupter shall not occupy conduit, boxes or enclosures containing other conductors unless 
the additional conductors are also protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter. Refer to local 
codes for complete details.
