Portable spas with the appropriate equipment and accessories are warm water
bubble pools, that are designed for private and family use and are installed
in fitness centers, hotels and large bathing areas. Outdoor installation is ideal
provided special precautions are taken regarding winterizing. Private whirlpools
contain about 700 – 1500 liters of water and are therefore too large to be filled
and emptied with warm water each time a person bathes in the spa pool. These
spa pools are like a swimming pool and are equipped with a filtration and
heating system that maintains the propertemperature of the water. The water
needs to be treated and disinfected (see „Care and Maintenance“- pages 33
and 34). The water needs to be changed about every 2 months. At that time the
pool should be cleaned manually. Only clean tap water from the public supply
should be used to refill the pool. The water quality should be like drinking water.
Private whirlpools emit humidity and sound. Therefore if being used inside a
steam barrier, a dehumidifier and a whirlpool cover need to be installed and
if necessary, special measures need to be taken to absorb the noise. The max-
imum water temperature in the whirlpool can not be higher than 40° C. The
chlorine level should not be higher than 300 mg/l. If you want to install a private
whirlpool in a situation that is different from the one described above and as
described in the installation and service instructions, we ask you to please
contact us. There are different solutions available, for instance when salt water
is used. Inappropriate use voids the warranty.
The foundation should be level and firm and have the same dimensions as the
whirlpool (see data sheet). The entire base of the whirlpool must stand completely
flat on the ground so that its weight is properly supported. There must be
sufficient head room above the whirlpool for getting in and out with ease.
Total connected load: 1 x 16 A/230 V/50 Hz and a 30 m A ground fault interrupter
(GFI), optional for Strato 2.3 with an additional seat, 400 V/16 A/50 Hz, ground
fault interrupter, GFI, 30 mA.
The whirlpool must be connected to the main power supply using a cable with
a cross-section of 3 x 2,5 mm
