Avoid Risks To Children
DANGER RISK OF CHILD DROWNING Extreme care must be
exercised, to prevent unauthorized access by
children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children
cannot use the spa unless they are supervised at all
times. Always cover the spa and use safety locks.
WARNING RISK OF CHILD INJURY Do not permit children to use
the spa unless they are closely supervised at all
times. Lower water temperatures are
recommended for children. Children are especially
sensitive to hot water.
Avoid Risks of Electrocution
DANGER RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK Install spa at least 5 feet
(1.5m) from all metal surfaces. A spa may be installed
within 5 feet (1.5m) of metal surfaces when each
metal surface is permanently connected by a
minimum No. 6 AWG (10mm
2
) solid copper
conductor to the wire ground connector provided on
the terminal for this purpose. Do not permit any
electrical appliance, such as a light, telephone,
radio, or television within 5 feet (1.5m) of the spa,
unless factory installed.
Connect all metal equipment, metal enclosures of
electrical equipment, metal water pipes, or conduits
to the provided ground connector with a minimum
No. 6 AWG (10 mm
2
) solid copper conductor.
Position your spa to provide proper drainage of the compartment
for electrical components. For floor-recessed spas, allow access for
servicing from above or below floor. Consideration should be
taken for water to splash out. Water can ruin wood floors and
some finishes.

• DO NOT use a wall switch, ground fault circuit interrupter,
circuit breaker, fuse, or plugging and unplugging the spa as a
means of turning your spa on or off for normal everyday use.
• DO NOT bring any electrical appliances into or near the spa,
with the exception of a space heater used for
winterizing/troubleshooting ONLY. Call (727) 490-2239 for
instructions on this procedure.
• DO NOT operate any electrical appliances from inside the spa
or when you are wet unless such appliances are built-in by the
manufacturer.
Avoid Risks of Hyperthermia
WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, the water temperature in
a spa should never exceed 40ºC (104ºF). Water
temperatures between 38ºC (100ºF) and 40ºC
(104ºF) are considered safe for a healthy adult.
Lower water temperatures are recommended for
young children, senior citizens, and when spa use
exceeds 10 minutes.
WATER TE PERATURE IN EXCESS OF 38ºC AY BE
INJURIOUS TO YOUR HEALTH.
AVERTISSEMENT DES TE PERATURES DE L'EAU SUPERIEURES A
38ºC PEUVANT PRESENTER UN DANGER POUR LA
SANTE. L'AVERTISSE ENT: LA TE PERATURE D'EAU
DEPASSANT 38ºC AI EST NUISIBLE A VOTRE SANTE.
Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for
causing fetal damage during early pregnancy, pregnant or
potentially pregnant women should limit water temperatures to
38ºC (100ºF). Before entering a spa, measure the water
temperature with an accurate thermometer. The tolerances of
water temperature-regulating devices vary.
5
Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body
reaches a level several degrees above the normal body
temperature of 98.6ºF (37ºC). The symptoms of hyperthermia
include drowsiness, lethargy, and an increase in the internal
temperature of the body. The effects of hyperthermia include:
• Unawareness of
impending hazard
• Failure to perceive
heat
• Failure to recognize
the need to exit spa
• Physical inability to
exit spa
• Fetal damage in
pregnant women
• Unconsciousness and
danger of drowning.
Avoid Risks of Burns
• Before entering a spa, measure the water temperature
with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of
temperature-regulating devices may vary by as much as
±5°F (2°C).
• Test the water with your hand before entering the spa to
be sure it’s comfortable.

red WARNING sign like the one
shown is packed with your new spa.
This sign must be posted in a
prominent place in close proximity to
the spa installation site immediately
upon completion of spa installation.
It is extremely important that this sign be permanently placed in
clear view of any persons using the spa. Occasional spa users may

damaged, please contact our 24/7 technical support line at
(727) 490-2239 for a replacement.

I n s t a l l a t i o n
Proper planning is an important consideration when installing your
new spa. Site selection is a critical step and should be given some
serious thought. Planning ahead, before the delivery of your spa,
makes the installation process easier. The following information is
provided to assist you in site preparations.
1) Always comply with local building codes with respect to gates,
fences, etc.
2) Be sure your spa has proper access to water, drainage and
electricity.
3) Properly support its weight. There are many ways to support
your spa. In most cases, a 4-inch thick cement pad suffices. [Or
you may purchase a durable, synthetic spa pad by calling the
24/7 technical support line at (727) 490-2239.] Please consult
your spa sales representative before constructing a base.
4) Be sure your spa will fit into the space you have chosen.
5) Ensure there is proper access into the area of the spa for
normal servicing.
6) Provide adequate ventilation for the humidity created by your
spa. In most cases, a Spa Hard Cover is sufficient.
7) Check the load carrying capabilities of the floor on which the
spa will reside. ost homes meet the requirement of 80 pounds
per square foot.
8) Protect the pump and all equipment from the weather by
ensuring the cabinet panels are secure at all times.
Important – When building a skirt or sinking a spa into a deck or
ground, allow a minimum of 36 inches (1 meter) of unobstructed
access to all sides of your spa. This ensures proper serviceability to
internal plumbing and equipment. Consider your design carefully.
The more access the better. ake the access door in a logical
place (i.e. near controls and equipment). Call the 24/7 technical
support line at (727) 490-2239 for more details.
