WARNING
– Risk of Electric Shock. All electrical wiring MUST be in conformance with applicable local codes,
regulations, and the National Electric Code (NEC). Hazardous voltage can shock, burn, and cause death or serious property
damage. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do NOT use an extension cord to connect unit to electric supply. Provide a properly
located electrical receptacle. Before working on any electrical equipment, turn off power supply to the equipment. To reduce
the risk of electric shock replace damaged wiring immediately. Locate conduit to prevent abuse from lawn mowers, hedge
trimmers and other equipment. Do NOT ground to a gas supply line.
WARNING
–
Risk of Electric Shock
Failure to ground all electrical equipment can cause serious or fatal electrical
shock hazard. Electrical ground all electrical equipment before connecting to electrical power supply.
WARNING
– Risk of Electric Shock Failure to bond all electrical equipment to pool structure will increase risk for
electrocution and could result in injury or death. To reduce the risk of electric shock, see installation instructions and consult a
professional electrician on how to bond all electrical equipment. Also, contact a licensed electrician for information on local
electrical codes for bonding requirements.
Notes to electrician: Use a solid copper conductor, size 8 or larger. Run a continuous wire from external bonding lug to
reinforcing rod or mesh. Connect a No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm
2
) [No. 6 AWG (13.3 mm
2
) for Canada] solid copper bonding wire to the
pressure wire connector provided on the electrical equipment and to all metal parts of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub, and metal
piping (except gas piping), and conduit within 5 ft. (1.5 m) of inside walls of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub.
IMPORTANT - Reference NEC codes for all wiring standards including, but not limited to, grounding, bonding and other general
wiring procedures.
WARNING
– Risk of Electric Shock . The electrical equipment must be connected only to a supply circuit that is
protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). In accordance with the National Electric Code (NEC), connect only to a
branch circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the
circuit is protected by a GFCI.
Such a GFCI should be provided by the installer and should be tested on a routine basis. To test the
GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push reset button. Power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to
operate in this manner, the GFCI is defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to the electrical equipment without the test button
being pushed, a ground current is flowing, indicating the possibility of an electrical shock. Do not use this electrical equipment.
Disconnect the electrical equipment and have the problem corrected by a qualified service representative before using.

®
pumps are intended for use with permanently-installed pools and may be used with hot tubs
and spas if so marked. Do not use with storable pools. A permanently-installed pool is constructed in or on the ground or in a
building such that it cannot be readily disassembled for storage. A storable pool is constructed so that it is capable of being
readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original integrity.
WARNING
– Risk of Hyperthermia. To avoid hyperthermia the following “Safety Rules for Hot Tubs” are recommended
by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
1.
Spa or hot tub water temperatures should never exceed 104°F [40°C]. A temperature of 100°F [38°C] is
considered safe for a healthy adult. Special caution is suggested for young children. Prolonged immersion
in hot water can induce hyperthermia.
2.
Drinking of alcoholic beverages before or during spa or hot tub use can cause drowsiness, which could
lead to unconsciousness and subsequently result in drowning.
3.
Pregnant women beware! Soaking in water above 100°F [38°C] can cause fetal damage during the first
three months of pregnancy (resulting in the birth of a brain-damaged or deformed child). Pregnant women
should adhere to the 100°F [38°C] maximum rule.
4.
Before entering the spa or hot tub, users should check the water temperature with an accurate ther-
mometer; spa or hot tub thermostats may err in regulating water temperatures by as much as 4°F
(2.2°C).
5.
Persons taking medications, which induce drowsiness, such as tranquilizers, antihistamines or anti-
coagulants, should not use spas or hot tubs.
6.
If the pool/spa is used for therapy, it should be done with the advice of a physician. Always stir pool/ spa water
before entering the pool/spa to mix in any hot surface layer of water that might exceed healthful temperature
limits and cause injury. Do not tamper with controls, because scalding can result if safety controls are not in
proper working order.
7.
Persons with a medical history of heart disease, circulatory problems, diabetes or blood pressure
problems should obtain a physician’s advice before using spas or hot tubs.
8.
Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above normal
body temperature of 98.6°F [37°C]. The symptoms of Hyperthermia include: drowsiness, lethargy,
dizziness, fainting, and an increase in the internal temperature of the body.
The effects of Hyperthermia include:
1.
Unawareness of impending danger.
2.
Fai lure t o pe rceiv e h eat.
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.
