The water in a spa should never exceed 40°C (104°F). Water temperature between 38°C (100°F) and 40°C

(104°F) 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 temperature have a high potential for causing fatal damage during the early months of pregnancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit spa water temperature to38°C (100°F).

B Site requirements:

d e f

WARNING1: The floor has to be capable of supporting the expected load.

WARNING2: An adequate drainage system has to be provided to deal with overflow water.

IMPORTANT: Because of the combined weight of the spa, water, and users, it is extremely important that the base where the spa is installed is smooth, flat, level and capable of uniformly supporting this weight for the entire time the spa is installed. If the spa is placed on a surface which does not meet these requirements,

any damage caused by improper support will void the warranty. It is the responsibility of the spa owner to ensure the integrity of the site at all times. a) Indoors installation:

Be aware of special requirements if you install the spa indoors.

1. The floor must be able to withstand the capacity of the spa. The floor should be a non-slip, level surface.

2. Proper drainage is essential for indoor spa installation. When building a new room for the spa it is recommended that a floor drain be installed.

3. Humidity is a natural side effect with spa installation. Determine the effects of airborne moisture on exposed wood, paper, etc. in the proposed location. To minimize these effects it is best to provide plenty of ventilation to the selected area. An architect can help determine if more ventilation is needed.

NOTE:

Do not install the spa on carpet or other material that can be damaged by moisture. b) Outdoors installation:

1. No matter where you install the spa, it is important you have a solid support foundation. If you are installing the spa outdoors, ensure there are no sharp objects that could damage it and that the location is level so the spa sits stably and properly.

2. During filling, emptying or when in use, water may spill out of the spa. Therefore the spa should be installed near a ground drain.

C RCD test

3. Do not leave the spa’s surface exposed to direct sunlight for long periods of time.

WARNING1: Insert the GFCI plug into a residual current device (RCD) protected power receptacle only.

WARNING2:

Before inserting the plug into a power receptacle, make sure the current rate of the power receptacle and the fixed wiring are suitable for the spa.

Contact a qualified electrician if you can not verify.

1. Plug GFCI into power outlet, indicator should turn on.

2. Press TEST button, indicator should turn off.

3. Press RESET button again for use.

Please consult your local pool supply retailer for more information about chemical maintenance. Pay close attention to the chemical manufacturer’s instructions. Spa damage resulting from misuse of chemicals and mismanagement of spa water is not covered by the warranty. a. Water balances. We recommend maintaining your water PH between 7.2 and 7.8, total alkalinity between 80 and 120ppm and free chlorine between 3 to 5ppm.

Purchase a test kit to test your water chemistry before each use of the spa, no less than once per week. LOW

PH WILL CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE SPA AND PUMP. Damage resulting from chemical imbalance is not covered by the warranty.

b. Water sanitation is the responsibility of the spa owner, achieved through the regular and periodic (daily, if necessary) addition of an approved sanitizer. The sanitizer will chemically control the bacteria and viruses

present in the fill water or introduced during use of the spa.

REPAIR AND STORAGE

1. Spa repair

If the spa is torn or punctured use the provided repair patch. Dry the area to be repaired. Apply the glue in the accessory bag to the repair patch and then attach it onto the damaged area. Smooth the surface to remove any air bubbles. A secure unnoticeable repair can usually be made.

2. Spa storage

Make sure all water is drained from the spa and control box. This is essential to extend the life of the spa. We recommend the use of a wet/dry vacuum to blow out or suck up water from the spa pipes and pump lines.

Remove the filter cartridge.

It is recommended you store the spa in its original package in a warm dry place.

Note: Plastic becomes brittle and susceptible to breakage when exposed to subzero temperatures. Freezing can severely damage the spa. Improper winterization of your spa may void your warranty.
