DANGER: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF DROWNING

Prolonged immersion in the swim spa may cause hyperthermia. The causes, symptoms and effects of hyperthermia may be
described as follows: Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above the
normal body temperature of 98.6 °F (37°C). The symptoms of hyperthermia include an increase in the internal temperature of the
body, dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness, and fain ng. The effects of hyperthermia include:
1. Failure to perceive heat
2. Failure to recognize the need to exit the swim spa
3. Unawareness of impending hazard
4. Fetal damage in pregnant women
5. Physical inability to exit the swim spa
6. Unconsciousness resul ng in the danger of drowning
DANGER: RISK OF INJURY

Do not remove the suc on fi ngs. The suc on fi ng in this swim spa is sized to match the specific water flow created by the
pump. Should the need arise to replace the suc on fi ng or the pump, be sure that the flow rates are compa ble. Never operate
the swim spa if the suc on fi ng is broken or missing. Never replace a suc on fi ng with one rated less than the flow rate
marked on the original suc on fi ng.
DANGER: RISK OF ACCIDENTAL DROWNING

Keep hair and body parts away from the suc on guard. Do not allow long hair to float freely in the water; long hair should be
restrained with a bathing cap. To reduce the risk of drowning from hair or body entrapment, install a suc on fi ng (s) with a
marked flow rate in gallons per minute that equals or exceeds the flow rate marked on the equipment assembly, if replacement
of suc on fi ngs becomes necessary.
WARNING

Ground fault circuit interrupter protec on (GFCI) or equivelant; RCD, for the swim spa should be tested prior to each use by the
homeowner. With the swim spa in opera on, push the "test" bu on on the GFCI circuit breaker at the panel box. The swim spa
should shut down immediately. Now reset the GFCI. The swim spa should return to normal opera on. If the GFCI fails to operate
in this manner, there exists a possibility of electrical shock. Approved tes ng applies for export protec on devices, i.e. RCD.

Discon nue swim spa opera on by disconnec ng the power source and no fy a qualified electrician for iden fica on and
correc on of the problem.
WARNING

To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all mes.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY

The water in a swim spa should never exceed 104ºF (40° C). Water temperatures between 100° F (38º C ) and 104º F (40° C) are
considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended for extended use (exceeding 10 to 15 minutes)
and for young children. Never exercise or swim in water above 90°F (32°c).

Excessive water temperatures have a high poten al for causing fetal damage during the early months of pregnancy. Pregnant or
possibly pregnant women should limit swim spa temperatures to 100º F (38° C).

Before entering a swim spa, the user should measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of
water temperature regula ng devices may vary as much as 5º F (3°C).

THE USE OF ALCOHOL, DRUGS, OR MEDICATION BEFORE OR DURING SWIM SPA USE MAY LEAD TO
UNCONSCIOUSNESS WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF DROWNING.

Persons suffering from obesity or with a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circula ory system
problems, or diabetes should consult a physician before using a swim spa.

Always consult with a physician prior to beginning any exercise regimen . Do not overexert yourself. Take frequent breaks.
