SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyper-
thermia in hot tubs and spas.
Persons taking medications which induce drowsiness such as tranquilizers, antihistamines, or
anticoagulants should not use the spa. Pregnant women and persons with a medical history of
heart disease, diabetes, or high blood pressure should consult a physician before using the spa.
PERSONAL SAFETY DOs:
• Be sure your spa is connected to the power supply correctly – only use a licensed electrical
contractor.
• Shut off power supply before draining the spa or servicing the electrical components.
• Test the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) monthly.
• Always test the water temperature with an accurate thermometer before entering the spa to
be sure that it's a safe temperature.
• Do not use the spa if water temperature is outside of set temperature. Remember that wet
surfaces can be very slippery. Take care when entering and exiting the spa.
• Lock the DuraCover™ when the spa is not in use, whether it is empty or full of water.
• Keep the water clean and sanitized with correct chemical care.
• Turn on the jets when adding ANY chemicals to the spa water.
• Clean the filter cartridge(s) monthly to remove debris and mineral buildup which affects the
performance of the hydrotherapy jets, limits the flow, or trips the high limit thermostat which
will turn off the entire spa.
PERSONAL SAFETY DO NOTs:
•
Don't use the spa with the equipment compartment door removed.
• Don't use the spa for more than 10 minutes of time at water temperatures in excess of
102°F (39°C).
• Don't allow the jet pump(s) to operate for an extended period of time with the cover in
place. Extended pump operation causes a slow heat buildup due to water friction. The spa
equipment controls are equipped with a built-in safety timer that automatically shuts off the
jet pump(s) after 15 minutes of continuous operation should it have been left on inadver-
tently.
• Don't operate the spa at any time with the filter cartridges removed.
• Don't lift or drag the cover by using the tie-down straps; always lift and carry by using the
external handles.
• Don't store chemicals in the spa's equipment compartment.
• Don't hesitate to call your authorized dealer with any questions or maintenance concerns.
