Water temperature in excess of 100° F (37.7° C) may be hazardous to your
health. Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia.
Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a
level several degrees above normal body temperature of 98.6° F (37° C.).
Effects of hyperthermia include: (1) Unawareness of impending danger. (2)
Failure to perceive heat. (3) Failure to recognize the need to leave the spa. (4)
Physical inability to exit the spa. (5) Fetal damage in pregnant women. (6)
Unconsciousness resulting in danger of drowning. The use of alcohol, drugs, or
medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in hot tubs and
spas.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use or operate this
pump and DE element filter.
When setting up pool water turnovers or flow rates the operator must
consider local codes governing turnover as well as disinfectant feed ratios.
DO NOT increase pump size; this may increase the flow rate through the
system and exceed the maximum flow rate stated on the drain cover.
