Important Safety Instructions

All electrical work must be performed by a licensed electrician and conform to all national, state,

and local codes. When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions

should always be followed, including the following:

DANGER: To reduce the risk of injury, do not remove the suction ttings of your spa or hot tub.

Never operate a spa or hot tub if the suction ttings are broken or missing. Never replace a

suction tting with one rated less than the ow rate marked on the equipment assembly.

WARNING: Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs

when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above the normal

body temperature of 98.6°F. The symptoms of hyperthermia include dizziness, fainting,

drowsiness, lethargy, and an increase in the internal temperature of the body. The effects of

hyperthermia include: 1) unawareness of impending danger; 2) failure to perceive heat; 3) failure

to recognize the need to exit spa; 4) physical inability to exit spa; 5) fetal damage in pregnant

women; 6) unconsciousness resulting in a danger of drowning.

WARNING: To Reduce the Risk of Injury —

The water in a spa should never exceed 104°F (40°C). Water temperatures between 100°F

(38°C) and 104°F (40°C) are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are

recommended for young children and when spa use exceeds 10 minutes.

Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during

the early months of pregnancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit spa water

temperatures to 100°F (38°C).

Before entering a spa or hot tub, the user should measure the water temperature with an

accurate thermometer since the tolerance of water temperature-regulating devices varies.

The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa or hot tub use may lad to

unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.

Obese persons and person with history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure,

circulatory system problems, or diabetes should consult a physician before using a spa.

Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a spa or hot tub since

some medication may induce drowsiness while other medication may affect heart rate, blood

pressure, and circulation.

WARNING: Risk of electric shock – Install the control center at least ve (5) feet (152.4cm) from

the inside wall of the pool and/or hot tub using non-metallic plumbing. Canadian installations

must be at least three (3) meters from the water.
