Important Safety Instructions

DANGER -- Risk of accidental drowning:
Do not allow children to be in or around a spa unless a
responsible adult supervises them. Keep the spa cover
on and locked when not in use. See instructions enclosed
with your cover for locking procedures.
DANGER -- Risk of injury:
The suction fittings in this spa are sized to match the
specific water flow created by the pump. Should the need
arise to replace the suction fittings, or the pump, be sure
the flow rates are compatible.
Never operate the spa if the suction fitting or filter baskets
are broken or missing. Never replace a suction fitting with
one that is rated less than the flow rate marked on the
original suction fitting.
WARNING -- To reduce the risk of injury:
The spa water 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.
High water temperatures have a high potential for causing
fetal damage during pregnancy. Women who are pregnant,
or who think they are pregnant, should always check with
their physician prior to spa usage.
The use of alcohol, drugs or medication before or during
HYPERTHERMIA DANGER:
Prolonged exposure to hot air or water can induce
hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal
temperature of the body reaches a level 3˚F to 6˚F above
the normal body temperature of 98.6˚F (or 2˚C to 4˚C
above 37˚C). While hyperthermia has many health benefits,
it is important not to allow your body's core temperature to
rise above 103˚F (39.5˚C).
Symptoms of excessive hyperthermia include dizziness,
lethargy, drowsiness and fainting. The effects of excessive
hyperthermia may include:
WARNING: People with infectious diseases should not use
a spa or hot tub.
