• The suction fittings and suction covers in this spa are sized
to match the specific water flow created by the pump(s). If it
is necessary to replace the suction fittings, suction covers or

compliance with the VGB Safety Act page 2.
• Never replace a suction fitting or suction cover with one rated
less than the flow rate marked on the original suction fitting.
Using improper suction fittings or suction covers can create
a body or hair suction entrapment hazard that may lead to
