Water temperature in excess of 100° F (37.7° C) may be hazardous to
your health. Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia.
Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a
level several degrees above normal body temperature of 98.6° F. (37° C.).
Effects of hyperthermia include: (1) Unawareness of impending danger. (2)
Failure to perceive heat. (3) Failure to recognize the need to leave the spa.
(4) Physical inability to exit the spa. (5) Fetal damage in pregnant women. (6)
Unconsciousness resulting in danger of drowning. The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can
greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in hot tubs and spas.
Do not permit children to use or operate this sand filter.
When setting up pool water turnovers or flow rates the operator must consider
local codes governing turnover as well as disinfectant feed ratios.
DO NOT increase pump size; this will increase the flow rate through the
system and may exceed the maximum flow rate stated on the drain cover.
For filters intended for use in other than single-family dwellings, a clearly
labeled emergency switch shall be provided as part of the installation. The
switch shall be readily accessible to the occupants and shall be installed at least 5 feet (1.52 m)
away, adjacent to, and within sight of, the filter.
