information 

for your safety

To avoid accidents and possible drowning, 

extreme caution must be exercised to prevent the 

unsupervised access to the spa by my children.

 

To reduce the risk of injury, children must 

always be supervised when using the spa.

 

Lower water temperatures are recommended 

for young children as they are especially 

sensitive to hot water.

 

Test the water temperature with your hand or 

a thermometer before allowing your child to 

enter the spa to ensure it will be comfortable.

 

For childrens’ safety, make sure you always 

lock the cover after using the spa and ensure 

lockable gates and enclosures are secure.

 

Do not allow children to climb on the spa 

cover; this may void your warranty.

 

Remind children that wet surfaces can be 

slippery & to always be careful when entering 

and exiting the spa.

 

DO NOT place any electrical appliances, 

extension leads, lights etc within 5 metres  

of the spa.

 

Do not remove any fittings from the spa 

without consulting the dealer from which the 

spa was purchased and/or Sapphire Spas. 

Incorrect removal of any joints or fittings 

could result in an injury.

 

The water temperature of the spa should 

never exceed 40 degrees.

 

Pregnant women, obese persons, people  

with a history of heart disease, irregular blood 

pressure diabetes or circulatory system 

problems should exercise caution & consult 

their doctor before using a spa.

 

The use of drugs, alcohol and medication  

before or during use of the spa may lead to 

unconsciousness and possible drowning.

 

Ensure you have a satisfactory break after 

strenuous exercise before using the spa.

 

People with infections, sores or skin 

abrasions should not use the spa.

 

Observe a reasonable time limit when using  

the spa.

 

Always enter/exit slowly.

 

Maintain areas around the spa and ensure  

good drainage to avoid slippery conditions  

and possible injury. 

 

It is crucial that you maintain water chemistry  

even when you are not using the spa.

 

We do not recommend using the spa alone.

 

The hardcover must be secured when spa  

is not in use.

 

Do not allow diving or jumping into the spa.

 

It is recommended to display a Resuscitation 

Chart in close proximity to your spa.

Should you experience any problem whatsoever, 

do not hesitate to contact your authorised 

Sapphire Spas store

Common sources of trouble

Here are some tips to help diagnose and rectify 

some more common sources of trouble, if you 

choose to have a go yourself first.

SV spa controllers feature self-diagnostics and 

scrolling error messages to quickly troubleshoot 

possible problems. Should the spa control 

encounter a problem the error code / message 

will scroll across the topside panel screen until 

the problem is resolved.  If an error condition 

is experienced all spa functions are shut down 

and the spa should not be used until the error 

condition has been fixed. A list of error codes 

with descriptions of problems and possible 

solutions is detailed below for your reference.

Sapphire Spas have excellent warranties and 

only use quality equipment, but it is important to 

understand that much like tyres on a car, some 

items do wear. These items include pumps & 

mechanical seals.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

 for most error codes mains 

power to the spa control must be turned OFF  

and then back ON before the error condition  

will be cleared.

Heartbeat LED 

All SV model spa packs feature a red flashing 

heartbeat LED light. The heartbeat LED is located 

on the front right hand side of the spa pack itself 

(installed underneath spa skirt). The heartbeat 

LED flashes to indicate the current health/

status of the spa pack. When the spa pack is 

functioning correctly with no errors to report the 

heartbeat LED emits a single flash in a constant 

pulse much like a heartbeat (ON, OFF, ON, OFF). 

If the spa pack encounters a fault the heartbeat 

LED will begin flashing in sequence with the error 

code number being experienced (i.e. ER2 = ON 

ON; OFF ON,ON OFF). If the keypad display  

is ever blank, a spa user can still determine the 

health status of the SV controller by removing  

a door and checking the heartbeat LED on the 

front of the spa controller itself.

Service reminder messages 

Maintenance reminders such as “SERVICE 

FILTERS” can be programmed to scroll across 

the screen every 60 seconds after a certain time 

period has elapsed. If your keypad display begins 

scrolling a service reminder every 60 seconds this 

message can be cancelled/reset by pressing the 

OK button whilst the service message is scrolling.

Service filters 

A default service reminder scheduled to occur 

every 2 or 4 weeks. This reminder is to prompt 

the spa owner to thoroughly clean and service 

their spa filters. The filters will either require 

cleaning, soaking in a filter cartridge degreaser 

solution or replacing. Refer to spa reseller for 

details on recommended cleaning methods. 

How to cancel “Service Filters” scrolling 

message, then press OK

The most common error codes are ER-3  

and ER-4. For any other error codes please 

check the website.

IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE YOUR CHILDREN 
AND OTHERS ARE SAFE IN YOUR SPA AND THAT YOUR SPA  
IS INSTALLED UNDER YOUR AREA’S COUNCIL REGULATIONS.

As per regulations and Australian Standards Numbers AS1926.3 – 2010 Swimming Pool 

Safety Part 3: Water recirculation systems, and AS 2610.2 – 2007 (Incorporating Amendment 

No.1) Part 2: Private Spas, Sapphire Spas complies with all relevant Authorities in the 

Manufacturing of Spa Pools in Australia. All Standards are approved and agreed with SPASA 

of which we are financial members. Sapphire Spas has a duty of care to maintain both Quality 

of Product and compliance to Australian Standards, which is our commitment as a responsible 

Australian Manufacturing Company.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

BEWARE DIRECT SUNLIGHT & UV EXPOSURE

Exposure of the acrylic shell of your spa to direct sunlight & UV may cause excessive 

temperatures to build up beneath the surface and damage the spa. Installation of spa in 

direct sunlight & UV may put the acrylic surface under stress and will void the warranty. 

Keep the spa covered at all times when not in use to prevent the possibility of damage 

and voiding of warranty.

BEWARE INCORRECT CHEMICAL USE

The misuse of chemicals on any Sapphire spa will void warranty. Please ensure your 

chemicals are being tested correctly as per your area’s water chemistry. Your local Pool 

& Spa specialist will be able to assist you in a spa chemical balance plan. Sapphire 

Spas do not deal directly in chemicals. If you notice your jet faces becoming lighter 

in colour, jet backings becoming chalky or your headrests beginning to fade, please 

contact the dealer from which the spa was purchased.
