Never use your spa when taking anticoagulants, antihistamines, vasoconstrictors, vasodilators,
stimulants, hypnotics, narcotics, or tranquilizers.
Pregnant women, persons with heart disease, diabetes, high or low blood pressure or any serious illness
should not enter a spa without prior consultation with their doctor.
Keep electrical appliances a significant distance from the spa, including telephones. Do not try to adjust
or touch equipment such as the pump, heater, or electrical appliances while you are in the spa.
The temperature of the spa should be no higher than 104
o
F (40
o
C). Do not soak for more than 15
minutes at one sitting in 104
o
F (40
o
C) water. Prolonged soaking in hotter temperatures may cause
drowsiness, fainting or induce hyperthermia.
Never walk, climb, jump or play on the energy cover of your spa. Never swim or play under the cover
when it is installed on the spa. Always cover your spa with the hard cover when your spa is not in use.
Never allow children to use the spa unsupervised.
A fence around your spa with a self-closing and self-latching gate can be the best protection against
unauthorized entry and use. Check with local Building and Safety Division regarding requirements.
If your spa is indoors, lock the door to the room to keep out unauthorized users.
SPA LOCATION AND INSTALLATION
PERMANENT SPA INSTALLATIONS
:
Permanent spa installations require extensive planning and expert
advice, which can be provided by your spa dealer.
SITE SELECTION
- A smooth, level, self draining surface is necessary in order to ensure years of trouble free
use and for your spa to function properly. For the spa to function properly and safely, it should be situated on a
hard, flat, level surface. For optimum installation a concrete slab sloped at 1 inch per 10 feet will allow rain water
and water spillover will run off and not puddle underneath the spa (water under the spa for long periods of time
may cause the wood to deteriorate).
INSTALLATION ON A WOOD DECK
-
Wood decking requires that the deck must be constructed to
support at least 80 pounds per square foot. Individual spa weight per square foot will vary. Refer to a licensed
contractor for proper structural support.
EQUIPMENT COMPARTMENT ACCESS
-
When considering an installation site, always allow for a
minimum access space of 30 inches in front of the equipment compartment of the spa. This provides adequate
clearance for future service if necessary. If accessory items will be installed on or around the spa (gazebos,
steps or planters), allow for additional space around the spa’s perimeter.
Be sure the spa is in the desired position before filling with water. Check for power cords, tools or hoses that
may be caught underneath the spa.
CAUTION:
Adequate drainage must be supplied if the equipment is to be installed below ground level.
It is important to note that soft surfaces, even when stepping stones or pavers are used to
evenly distribute the weight of the spa, will have a tendency to settle, thus resulting in an
non-stable and non-level spa and voiding your warranty.
PLEASE NOTE:
Some cities and counties may require a permit for installation of electrical
circuits or the construction of exterior structures (decks and gazebos). In addition, some
countries may require permits for the installation of a portable spa. Check your local codes for
compliance.
PLEASE NOTE:
Placing your spa on grass or dirt does not provide a sufficiently solid surface
for your spa. Doing so will void your warranty. It will also increase the amount of debris which is
inadvertently brought into the spa water and may cause harm to your equipment as well as the
spa surface, and is not covered under warranty.
