OPERATION
Priming Pump:
NEVER run pump dry! Running pump dry may damage seals, causing
leakage and flooding! Fill pump with water before starting motor.
Do not add chemicals to spa system directly in front of pump suction.
Adding undiluted chemicals may damage pump and voids warranty.
Open gate valves before starting system.
Pump will prime itself when used in flooded suction system.
Be sure to release all air from filter and piping system; see spa/filter owner’s
manual.
On two speed models, low speed is used for filtration and heating; high speed
provides therapy jet action.
Do not block pump suction! To do so with body may cause severe or
fatal injury. Small children using spa must ALWAYS have close adult
supervision!
NOTICE:
Do not block jets! To do so may flood area causing damage to
equipment and water damage to surrounding area.
Water:
Keep water level at least two inches above bottom of skimmer opening when
system is not in use. Failure to do so can allow air to enter system, causing
pump to lose its prime.
Keep water temperature at 104°F (40°C) or below.
Age or health conditions may require a lower temperature; consult a physi-
cian for more information.
If in doubt, start at a lower temperature and gradually increase it according to
your experience.
Keep an accurate thermometer in bath; check it before getting in.
Do not use or allow the use of the spa by anyone using alcohol or
drugs. The effects of hot water, alcohol and/or drugs can cause dizzi-
ness and falling, loss of consciousness, or heart attack.

the body) which can be fatal. Some symptoms of hyperthermia are:

If these symptoms appear while in the spa, GET OUT AT ONCE!
