SAFETY INFORMATION

Used and maintained properly, your heat pump will provide year-upon-year of safe and economical service.
However, as with any mechanical or electrical device, to get the most from your heat pump–while insuring
personal safety for you and others–certain operational and maintenance factors must be observed.
Likewise, excepting a few minor owner-capable maintenance items (explained later in this manual), repair and
service of your heat pump must be performed only by experienced service personnel. Should you, the owner,
suspect your heat pump is not performing properly, by referring to the section in this manual entitled:
"Troubleshooting", you will be able to determine if a call for service is required. Your installer can be one
source of service, or AquaCal Customer Support personnel stand ready to assist you at: (800) 786-7751.
For questions concerning installation, modifications, operation, service and upkeep, please contact your installer
or AquaCal Customer Support. Warranties may be voided if the heater has been used, maintained, or repaired
improperly.
In addition to possible voiding of warranties: unapproved installation methods, nonstandard modifications,
poor or incorrect maintenance, service by unqualified personnel, or improper use of this unit, may result in
personal injury and/or property damage. For personal safety and to avoid damage to equipment, it is important
that safety instructions displayed on the heat pump, and within this manual, are read, understood, and followed.
Throughout this manual the following two safety signals are placed where particular care is required. Please
note "WARNING" relates to personal safety, while "CAUTION" signals promote avoiding damage to equipment.
WARNING !
This "Warning" symbol appears in this manual where special attention is required for personal safety.
CAUTION !

WARNING !
Prolonged immersion in water warmer than normal body temperature may cause a condition known as
HYPERTHERMIA. The symptoms of hyperthermia include: unawareness of impending hazard, failure
to perceive heat, failure to recognize the need to exit the spa, and unconsciousness. The use of alcohol,
drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia. In addition, persons having an
adverse medical history, or pregnant women, should consult a physician before using a hot tub or spa.
Children and the extreme elderly should be supervised by a responsible adult.
