IMPORTANT: Hydro Spa, Reserves the right to change specifications, or design, without notification and without incurring any obligation. 1
Read and follow all instructions carefully
When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be fol-
lowed, including:
WARNING SIGN MUST BE POSTED
The Warning sign (RED) is packed with your
new Hydro Spa. This sign must be posted in a
prominent place in close proximity to the spa
installation site immediately upon completion of
spa installation.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they
are closely supervised at all times.
WARNING: A grounding wire connector is provided on this unit to connect a minimum No. 8
AWG (8.4mm2) solid copper conductor between this unit and any metal equipment, metal
enclosures of electrical equipment, metal water pipe, or conduit within 5 feet (1.5m) of the
unit.
DANGER: Risk of Accidental Drowning. Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent unau
thorized access by children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children cannot use a spa or hot
tub unless they are supervised at all times. Cover spa and use safety locks to prevent acci
dents.
DANGER: Risk of Injury. The suction fittings in this hot tub are sized to match the specific
water flow created by pumps. Should the need arise to replace the suction fittings or the
pump, be sure that the flow rates are compatible. Never operate the hot tub if the suction fit
ting is broken or missing. Never replace a suction fitting with one rated less than the flow rate
marked on the original suction fitting.
DANGER: Risk of Electric Shock. Install at least 5 feet (1.5m) from all metal surfaces. As an
alternative, a hot tub may be installed within 5 feet of metal surfaces if each metal surface is
permanently connected (bonded) by a minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4mm2) solid copper conductor
attached to the wire connector on the grounding lug, inside the equipment compartment on
the equipment box.
DANGER: Risk of Electric Shock. Do not permit any electrical appliance, such as a light, tele
phone, radio, television, etc. within 5 feet (1.5m) of a hot tub unless such appliance are built-
in by the manufacturer.
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY: The electrical supply for this product must include a suitable rated
switch or circuit breaker to open all ungrounded supply conductors to comply with section
422-20 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. The disconnect must be readily acces
sible and visible to the hot tub occupant but installed at least 5 feet (1.5m) from the hot tub
water.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: To reduce The Risk of Injury:
1. The water in a spa should never exceed 104°F (40°C). Water temperatures between
100°F (38°C). and 104°F(40°C) are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temper-
atures are recommended for young children and when hot tub use exceeds 10 minutes.
2. Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage
during the early months of pregnancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit hot
tub water temperatures to 100°F (38°C). If pregnant, please consult your physician before
using a hot tub.
3. Before entering the hot tub, the user should measure the water temperature with an
accurate thermometer since the tolerance of the water temperature-regulating devices may
vary as mush as a +/- 5° F (+/-2°C).
4. The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during hot tub use may lead to
unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
5. Persons suffering from obesity or a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood
pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes should consult a physician before using a
hot tub.
6. Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a hot tub since
some medication may induce drowsiness, while other medication may affect heart rate, blood
pressure, and circulation.
I<b>MPORTANT CANADA SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including
the following:
1. Read and follow all instructions.
2. A green colored terminal or a terminal marked G, Gr, Ground, Grounding or the ground
symbol is located inside the supply terminal box or compartment. To reduce the risk of electric
shock, this terminal must be connected to the grounding means provided in the electric supply
service panel with continuous copper wire equivalent in size to the circuit conductors that sup
ply this equipment.
3. At least two lugs marked "Bonding Lugs" are provided on the external surface or on the
inside of the supply terminal box/compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect
the local common bonding grid in the area of the hot tub to these terminals with an insulated
or bare copper conductor not smaller than No. 6 AWG.
4. All field-installed metal components such as rails, ladders, drains or other similar hard
ware within 10 feet(3m) of the hot tub shall be bonded to the equipment grounding buss with
copper conductors not smaller than No. 6 AWG.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING: Children should not use spa without adult supervision.
WARNING: Do not use hot tub unless all suction guards are installed to prevent body and hair
entrapment.
WARNING: People with infectious diseases should not use a hot tub.
WARNING: To avoid injury, exercise care when entering or exiting the hot tub.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
2 3
WARNING: Do not use drugs or alcohol before or during the use of a hot tub to avoid unconscious-
ness and possible drowning.
WARNING: Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should consult a physician before using a hot tub.
WARNING: Water temperature in excess of 40°C (104°F) may be injurious to your health.
WARNING: Before entering the hot tub, measure the water temperature with an accurate thermome-
ter.
WARNING: Do not use a hot tub immediately following strenuous exercise.
WARNING: Prolonged immersion in a hot tub may be injurious to your health.
WARNING: Do not permit electric appliances (such as lights, telephone, radio, television, etc.) within
5 feet (1.5m) of this hot tub unless such appliances are built-in by the manufacturer.
CAUTION: Maintain water chemistry in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
WARNING: The use of alcohol or drugs can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in hot tub.
HYPERTHERMIA
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 drowsi-
ness, lethargy, and increase in the internal temperature of the body.
Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia. A description of the causes, symptoms,
and effects of hyperthermia are as follows:
CAUTIONS
1. Persons suffering from heart disease, diabetes, high or low blood pressure, and any condition
requiring medical treatment, pregnant women, the elderly, or infants should consult with physician
before using a spa.
2. The water temperature in a spa should not exceed 104°F (40°C). Immersion in water in excess of
104°F (40°C) can be hazardous to your health.
3. Observe a reasonable time limit when using the spa. Long exposure at higher temperatures can
cause high body temperature. Symptoms may include dizziness, nausea, fainting, drowsiness, and
reduced awareness. These effects could possibly result in drowning.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 4. Do not use the spa under influence of alcohol, narcotics, or other drugs. Use of the spa under
these conditions may lead to serious consequences.
5. Always test the spa water temperature before entering the spa . Enter and exit the spa slowly.
Wet surfaces can be very slippery.
6. Never bring any electrical appliances into or near the spa. Never operate any electrical appli-
ances from inside the spa or when you are wet unless such appliances are built-in by the manufac-
turer.
7. Proper chemical maintenance of spa water is necessary to maintain safe water and prevent pos-
sible damage to spa components.
8. Use the straps and clip tie downs to secure the cover when not in use. This will help to discour-
age unsupervised children from entering the spa. Keep the spa cover secure in high-wind conditions.
There is no representation that the cover, clip tie-downs, or actual locks will prevent access to the
spa.
9. A warning sign is packed with your new spa. Please install it a location near your spa, where it is
visible to the use
