IMPORTANT WARNINGS AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Water temperature in excess of 100° F (37.7° C) may be hazardous to your health. Prolonged immersion
in hot water may induce hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body
reaches a level several degrees above normal body temperature of 98.6° F. (37° C.). Effects of
hyperthermia include: (1) Unawareness of impending danger. (2) Failure to perceive heat. (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. The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication
can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in hot tubs and spas.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use or operate this sand filter.
When setting up pool water turnovers or flow rates the operator must consider local codes governing
turnover as well as disinfectant feed ratios.
DO NOT increase pump size; this will increase the flow rate through the system and may exceed the
maximum flow rate stated on the drain cover.
