@Home Collection Important Hot tub Owner Information Your hot tub is constructed to the highest standards and is capable of providing many years of trouble-free use. However, because heat reten- tive materials are utilized to insulate the hot tub for efficient operation, an uncovered hot tub surface and wall fittings directly exposed to sunlight and high temperatures for an extended period are subject to permanent dam- age or discoloration.
@Home Collection IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL HOT TUB OWNERS READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY! This hot tub was manufactured to meet the standards and specifications outlined in the “Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act” (VGB Safety Act). When installing and using this hot tub, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including: DANGER: RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DROWNING!

@Home Collection WARNING In addition to maintenance of filters and water chemistry, proper ventilation is recommended to reduce the risk of contracting a waterborne illness (e.g. an infection, bacteria or virus) and/or respiratory ailments that could be present in the air or water. Consult a licensed architect or building contractor to determine your specific needs if installing your hot tub indoors.
@Home Collection Entrapment Risk The Consumer Products Safety Commission/USA has reported that users of pools and spas have become entrapped (stuck) to drain and/ or suction fittings causing death, drowning, or serious injury (see diagram below). This hot tub was manufactured to meet the standards and specifications outlined in the “Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act” (VGB Safety Act). Entrapment risk can be minimized if proper precautions are taken.
@Home Collection DANGER: RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DROWNING! Body entrapment: May occur when part of the torso becomes entrapped, inserted or sucked into a suction or outlet opening. • Never allow children to play or get near the suction fittings, suction covers, filter, filter lid or skimmer assembly. DANGER: RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DROWNING! Evisceration (disembowelment) entrapment: May occur when the buttocks becomes entrapped, inserted or sucked into a suction or outlet opening.
@Home Collection Warning Signs Each hot tub has been provided with a Warning Sign and an Important Notice label. This label outlines safety precautions. This sign should be permanently placed in a location that is visible to the hot tub user. NO CLIMBING OR WALKING ON TOP RAIL DANGER SHALLOW WATER...
@Home Collection Choosing a Location IMPORTANT: Because of the combined weight of the hot tub, water and users, it is extremely important that the base upon which the hot tub rests be smooth, flat, level and capable of uniformly supporting this weight, without shifting or settling, for the entire time the hot tub is in place. If the hot tub is placed on a surface, which does not meet these requirements, damage to the skirt and/or the hot tub shell may result.
@Home Collection • A sheltered environment (less wind and weather exposure can result in lowered operation and maintenance costs). • The overall enhancement of your environment. It is preferable not to place the hot tub under an unguttered roof overhang since run-off water will shorten the life expectancy of the hot tub cover.
@Home Collection • Proper Ventilation: Proper ventilation should be discussed with an Engineer or authority competent enough to understand the necessary provisions needed to vent moist or heated air and air associated with chemical odors outdoors. When the hot tub is in use considerable amounts of moisture will escape, potentially causing mold and mildew over time, which can damage certain surfaces and/or surroundings.
@Home Collection A. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION IMPORTANT: About your GFCI Circuit Breaker — The GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter — also called a “circuit breaker”) is an electrical safety switch that automatically shuts off power to the spa in case of an electrical malfunction. There must be a GFCI installed according to your local building codes in an electrical power box near your spa.

@Home Collection CAUTION: Do not leave the spa shell exposed to the sun during the filling process. Leaving it exposed could result in surface dam- age and not covered under the warranty. 2. Fill Hot tub • Place the end of your garden hose into the empty skimming filter fitting. Remove the air bleeder cap to allow the air to escape as the hot tub fills, page 21. CAUTION: TO DECREASE BUILD UP ON COMPONENTS AND MINIMIZE ACRYLIC DAMAGE. Never fill with water from a water softener. If your water is extremely “hard,” it is preferable to fill half- way with hard water and the rest of the way with softened water.

11.0 Hot tub Maintenance Proper and regular maintenance of your hot tub will help it retain its beauty and performance. Your authorized Dimension One Spas dealer can supply you with all the information, supplies, and accessory products you will need to accomplish this.
Use a hot tub cleaner and a soft rag to clean the inside of your hot tub. Be sure to thoroughly rinse the shell. After cleaning, you will want to restore your hot tub shell’s original luster by using Dimension One Spas’ Poli-Gloss. 11.3 Maintaining the Hot Tub Cabinet The hot tub cabinet requires little or no maintenance of any kind.
@Home Collection 11.5 Draining IMPORTANT: Keep the hot tub covered when empty of water. Sun- light and extreme cold can damage the surface and cause it to peel or blister. 1. Turn power OFF! 2. Locate the hose bib, at the bottom of the hot tub, Figure 11.5a. Make sure that the valve is in the OFF position.
3. Rinse and clean and do not allow soap to dry on the cover. Do not use soap on the underside of the cover. 4. Please check with your Dimension One Spas dealer for recommended cover care and conditioning products. Use non- petroleum based conditioners to keep the vinyl supple.
@Home Collection 11.9 Restarting Your Hot Tub in Cold Weather If you want to start up your hot tub after it has sat empty for a time in freezing temperatures, be aware that the water remaining in certain sections of the piping may still be frozen. This situation will block water flow preventing the hot tub from operating properly and possibly damaging the equipment.
