Endless Pools Swim Spa Operation And Maintenance Manual page 2

PRE-SITE PREPARATION
Please read all instructions in this manual prior to having the
swim spa installed in its chosen location. IMPROPER INSTAL-
LATION MAY RESULT IN EQUIPMENT DAMAGE AND
VOID THE ENDLESS POOL SWIM SPA WARRANTY.
GETTING THE SPA TO YOUR SITE
Your Endless Pool Swim Spa is delivered by truck and trailer. An
empty Swim Spa weighs 2,800 lbs and will typically need to be
lifted into position with a crane. The cost of crane rental will
depend on a variety of factors including timing, location, required
reach, obstructions and possible permits. Your Swim Spa can usu-
ally be unloaded from the delivery trailer without a crane. For
installations indoors where the Swim Spa needs to be slid only a
few feet from where the driver unloads, a garage for example, the
Swim Spa can be slid or rolled into position using short sections
of pipe and a lifting bar (see the video on our website)
Our shipping coordinators work closely with you planning the
delivery. You may speak with them at any time by calling us toll
free at 800 732 8660. They will work with you once you have
made your color choices to insure a smooth delivery. The shipping
quotation you receive is mileage based. We try to group shipments
together to minimize trucking cost.
SPA PAD REQUIREMENTS
Your Endless Pool Swim Spa MUST BE PLACED ON A UNI-
FORMLY FIRM AND LEVEL SURFACE. A concrete pad foun-
dation 4 inches thick is recommended. As an alternative, a pea-
gravel foundation pad could be used, but this pad must be con-
tained in a secure wood or concrete restraining border to prevent
loose gravel from shifting once the swim spa is placed. If a con-
crete pad is poured, this is the logical time to "plumb-in" your
electrical conduit (refer to the diagram on page 7). Be sure the
concrete has cured for at least one (1) week before setting the
swim spa in place. AN UNEVEN OR CRACKED CONCRETE
PAD, OR THE USE OF SHIMS OF ANY KIND MAY CAUSE
THE SWIM SPA TO BUCKLE, DISTORT AND/OR CRACK,
CAUSING THE WARRANTY ON YOUR SPA TO BE VOIDED.
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
• All installations require the equipment system to be shielded
from the weather. If the equipment system is placed away
from the spa, then an enclosure for the equipment will be
required. The customer is responsible for providing such an
enclosure.
• Balconies and decks must be constructed to current state and
local codes to safely support the maximum load of your
water-filled swim spa and the number of people using the
swim spa. Check with your construction contractor for these
specifications.
• It is the responsibility of the owner to provide appropriate
access at the rear and front right corner of the swim spa
once it is set in place for ease of repair and maintenance.
Otherwise, additional costs to service and repair the swim
spa may be incurred.

• If the spa is to be set in-ground, not skirted, even support of
bottom, sides and lip are absolutely necessary to insure prop-
er structural support and to keep the warranties valid. A
properly constructed vault is recommended for in-ground
installations. In-ground installations also require proper
drainage of water and may require a sump pump to remove
spa and rain water from this vault.
• It is not recommended to backfill against the swim spa cabi-
net. This will damage the swim spa.
• If your spa is located near water sprinklers, adjust or cap
them so water will not hit the wood siding of the spa.
• During colder months, have a fill hose and water supply
thawed and ready for filling your spa upon delivery.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
The Endless Pool Swim Spa requires one (1) 220-Volt, 60-Amp
GFCI protected circuit (circuit to contain 3 wires plus ground).
The circuit must use a minimum #6 gauge copper wire. Allow
plenty of extra wire from the Circuit Box to the Spa Equipment
Disconnect inside the cabinet.

THE SENSIBLE WAY TO ENJOY YOUR
ENDLESS POOL SWIM SPA
Swim spas are fun, but along with the fun comes serious
responsibility. Be sure good times are safe times. Establish
rules and enforce them. It is your responsibility to be sure that
you, your family and guests use your Endless Pool Swim Spa
sensibly and safely.
Children are not waterproof! Drowning is one of the largest
causes of accidental death for infants and children under the
age of five.
• There is no substitute for adequate supervision.
• Never leave a child alone or out of eye contact in/near
the swim spa – not even for a second.
• Always completely remove the cover before using your
swim spa to avoid the possibility of someone being trapped
under the swim spa cover.
• Insist there be no running, pushing or rough housing near the
swim spa.
• Never consider young children "water-safe" despite their
swimming skills, previous instructions or experience.
