DO’S AND DON’TS

DO — Make sure the spa is connected to a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)

protected circuit. This GFCI is required by the National Electrical Code (NEC )

and must be installed by a licensed electrician. Test the GFCI monthly.

DO — Test the water with your hand before entering the spa to be sure it is

c o m f o r t a b l e .

DO — Remember that wet surfaces can be slippery. Take care when entering and

exiting the spa. Only enter by way of the steps in the spa. Do not step on spa

edges or filter lids.

DO — Use the thermal cover when the spa is not in use, empty or full.

DO — Take steps to prevent the intrusion of sand and dirt into the spa.

DO — Maintain proper water chemistry.

DO — Clean the filter cartridge weekly.

DON’T — Use the spa for long periods of time at temperatures over 104º F.

DON’T — Operate the spa without water. Turn the circuit breaker off before emptying the

spa and while it is empty.

DON’T — Store chemicals in the spa’s equipment compart m e n t .

DON’T — Open the electrical box. There are no user serviceable parts inside.

DON’T — Operate the pump(s) on hi-speed for extended periods of time with the cover

on. Extended hi-speed pump operation will cause a slow heat build-up due to

water friction, which could trip the spa’s hi-limit thermostat.

WA R NIN GS

Prolonged immersion in water that is warmer than normal body temperature can result in a dangerous

condition known as HYPE RT HE RMIA. The causes, symptoms, and effects of hyperthermia may be described

as follows: Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degr e e s

above the normal body temperature of 98.6 degrees F. The symptoms of hyperthermia include dizziness,

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

h y p e rthermia include (1) unawareness of impending hazard, (2) failure to perceive heat, (3) failure to

recognize the need to exit the spa, (4) physical inability to exit the spa, (5) fetal damage in pregnant women,

and (6) unconsciousness resulting in a danger of drowning.

WA RNING – The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in spas.

Persons taking medications that induce drowsiness such as tranquilizers, antihistamines or anticoagulants

should not use the spa. Pregnant women and persons with a medical history of heart disease, circulatory

problems, diabetes or high blood pressure should consult their physician before using the spa.

Children are especially sensitive to hot water. At no time should children have unsupervised access to the spa.

The use of elevated decking may encourage children to climb onto the thermal cover – IT IS NOT DESIGNED
