When using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed:

• READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

• To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times.

• DANGER – Risk of Accidental Drowning. Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent unauthorized access by children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children cannot use this spa unless they are supervised at all times.

• DANGER – Risk of Injury. The suction fittings in this spa are sized to match the specific water flow created by the pump. Should the need arise to replace the suction fittings or the pump, be sure that the flow rates are compatible. Never operate the spa if suction fittings are broken or missing. Never replace a suction fitting with one rated less than the flow rate marked on the original suction fitting.

• The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa use may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.

• Obese persons and persons with a history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes should consult a physician before using a spa.

• Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a spa since some medication may induce drowsiness while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.

• WARNING: To avoid electric shock, do not use the spa during storms in case of thundering or lighting. In case of rain always keep plug dry, plug in with wet plug is definitely forbidden.

• WARNING: Water attracts children; Always attach a spa cover after each use.

• CAUTION: Do not use the spa alone.

• CAUTION: Always enter and exit the spa slowly and cautiously. Wet surfaces are slippery.

• CAUTION: To avoid damage to the pump, the spa must never be operated unless the spa is filled with water.

• CAUTION: Immediately leave spa if the user feels uncomfortable or sleepy.

Follow these guidelines to reduce the risk of electric shock:

• DANGER – Risk of Electric Shock. Install at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from all metal surfaces. As an alternative, a spa may be installed within 5 feet of metal surfaces if each metal surface is permanently connected by a minimum 8 AWG (8.37 mm²) solid copper conductor to the wire connector on the terminal box that is provided for this purpose.

• DANGER – Risk of Electric Shock. Do not permit any electric appliance, such as a light, telephone, radio, or television, within 5 feet (1.5 m) of a spa.

• DANGER – Risk of injury. Replace damaged cord immediately. Do not bury cord. Connect to a grounded, grounding type receptacle only.

• This product is provided with a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI) integrated with the power plug. The GFCI must be tested before each use. With the product operating, push the test button on the GFCI and the product should not operate. Push the reset button on the GFCI and the product should now operate normally. When the product fails to operate in this manner, there is a ground current flowing indicating the possibility of an electrical shock. Disconnect the power until the fault has been identified and corrected.

To reduce the risk of injury:

a) 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 temperatures are recommended for young children and when spa use exceeds 10 minutes.

b) 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 spa water temperatures to 100°F (38°C).

c) Before entering a spa, the user should measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of water temperature-regulating devices varies.

d) WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY: Never add water that is higher than 104°F (40°C) into the spa.

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 fainting.

The effects of hyperthermia include:

• Failure to perceive heat

• Failure to recognize the need to exit spa or hot tub

• Unawareness of impending hazard

• Fetal damage in pregnant women

• Physical inability to exit the spa or hot tub

• Unconsciousness resulting in the danger of drowning

WARNING: The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia.

The warning label must be posted near your spa in a readable position during use.

1. Take out the warning label from the accessory kit.

2. Carefully peel the warning label.

3. Affix the warning label.

The label contains the following warnings:

REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTROCUTION

1. NEVER PLACE AN ELECTRIC APPLIANCE WITHIN 5 FEET OF SPA.

REDUCE THE RISK OF CHILD DROWNING

1. SUPERVISE CHILDREN AT ALL TIMES.

2. ATTACH SPA COVER AFTER EACH USE.

REDUCE THE RISK OF OVERHEATING

1. CHECK WITH A DOCTOR BEFORE USE IF PREGNANT, DIABETIC, IN POOR HEALTH, OR UNDER MEDICAL CARE.

2. EXIT IMMEDIATELY IF UNCOMFORTABLE, DIZZY, OR SLEEPY. SPA HEAT CAN CAUSE HYPERTHERMIA AND UNCONSCIOUSNESS.

3. SPA HEAT IN CONJUNCTION WITH ALCOHOL, DRUGS, OR MEDICATION CAN CAUSE UNCONSCIOUSNESS.

WHEN PREGNANT, SOAKING IN HOT WATER FOR LONG PERIODS CAN HARM YOUR FETUS. MEASURE WATER TEMPERATURE BEFORE ENTERING.

1. DO NOT ENTER SPA IF WATER IS HOTTER THAN 100°F(38°C)

2. DO NOT STAY IN SPA FOR LONGER THAN 10 MINUTES.

The surface chosen to install the spa must respect the following technical characteristics:

• Because of the combined weight of the water inside the spa and the users, it is extremely important that the surface chosen to install the spa is capable of uniformly supporting the total weight for the entire time the spa is installed.

• An adequate drainage system has to be provided to deal with overflow water for both indoor and outdoor installations.

• The surface must be flat and smooth. If the surface is inclined or uneven, it can create an unbalanced loading on the structure of the spa, which can damage the welding point.

• The selected surface must be clear of any type of object. Any object under the spa could damage or perforate the bottom of the spa.

• The selected location must not have overhead power lines or trees and should not contain underground utility pipes, lines, or cables.

• The position must be far from the house entrance. Do not position any equipment or other furniture around the spa.

• Do not install the spa on carpet or other porous floor materials (e.g., untreated cork, timber) that promote moisture and bacteria.

Suggested set-up surfaces: grass, ground, concrete, and all other surfaces that respect the above conditions.

Not suggested surfaces: mud, sand, gravel, deck, balcony, driveway, platform, soft/loose soil, or other surfaces that do not meet the above conditions.

Be aware of these special requirements if you install the spa indoors:

• Humidity is a natural side effect of the installation. Determine the effects of airborne moisture on exposed wood, paper, etc., in the proposed location. To minimize these effects, it is strongly recommended to provide plenty of ventilation to the selected area. Consult an expert to determine if more ventilation is needed.

• Keep suitable air treatment (ventilation and dehumidification) in the indoor location regularly to preserve the bathers’ safety and comfort.

• Empty the spa before removing it from the indoor location or building.

For outdoor installation, follow these requirements:

• The selected surface must be clear of aggressive plants and weed species that could grow through the liner and create leakage.

• The grass or other vegetation that may cause odor or slime to develop must be eliminated from the set-up location.

• Do not leave the spa’s surface exposed to direct sunlight for long periods. It is recommended to protect the spa from direct sunlight exposure with a cover when not in use.

• Consult your local professional installers for environmental conditions, such as groundwater and risk of frost.

The GFCI plug must be tested before each use to avoid risk of electric shock. Do not use the pump if this test fails.

1. Insert the plug into a power outlet. Make sure the current rate of the power outlet is suitable for the pump.

2. With the product operating, push the test button on the GFCI. The product should stop operating.

3. Push the reset button on the GFCI. The product should now operate normally.

If you are setting up the spa in winter, it is important to follow these suggestions to prevent damage:

• If the outdoor temperature is below 10°C (50°F), keep the package indoors where the temperature is above 15°C (59°F) to make the spa liner more flexible and easier to set up.

• Open the package and inflate the spa liner in a room where the temperature is above 15°C (59°F).

• Position the spa liner outdoors, then connect the spa heater and fill with water. The water temperature used for filling must be above 6°C (42.8°F), otherwise, the E03 alarm will appear.

• You can keep the spa on during winter when the temperature is lower than 6°C (42.8°F). The Freeze Shield™ system automatically keeps the water temperature between 6°C (42.8°F) and 10°C (50°F) to prevent the water from freezing.

• If the water temperature is below 6°C (42.8°F), the spa heater must always be on. In this mode, the Freeze Shield™ system will work to prevent damage.

• If alarms appear on the display, the Freeze Shield™ system isn’t working. Be sure to check the status of your spa if the outdoor temperature is below 6°C (42.8°F).

• Do not use the spa when the ambient temperature reaches -10°C (14°F).

• Be sure to cover the spa with the spa cover whenever the heating function is activated. Leaving the spa uncovered will increase the heating duration required.

To reach 40°C (104°F), the heating duration required is based on the starting water temperature and ambient temperature. The data below is for reference. To display the current water temperature, run the filter system for at least a minute.

CAUTION: You must ensure the pump is unplugged before beginning spa maintenance to avoid risk of injury or death.

LINER: It is normal for the spa liner to appear as if it is losing air due to changes in ambient temperature affecting internal air pressure. When detaching the pump from the liner, block the air pipe by screwing on the cap and installing the stoppers on the debris screens to avoid water coming out.

COVER: The cover should be cleaned inside and outside periodically, using a gentle detergent for the PVC material.

FILTER CARTRIDGE: To optimize filtration performance, check and clean your filter cartridge every day. It is recommended to change your filter cartridge every week or replace it if it remains soiled and discolored after washing.

WATER: Keeping spa water clean and chemically balanced is necessary. Simply cleaning the filter is not enough. Use pool chemicals and chlorine or bromine tablets with a chemical dispenser. Water quality is related to frequency of use, number of users, and overall maintenance. It is recommended to change the water completely every 3 days if no chemical treatment is being performed. When emptying the spa, observe all regulations and instructions for draining water.

After performing chemical maintenance and before using the spa, use a test kit (not included) to test the water chemistry. We recommend maintaining your water chemical balance as follows:

Note: Spa damage resulting from misuse of chemicals and mismanagement of spa water is not covered by the warranty. Over usage of chemicals will discolor the printing and all points of the spa material.

DRAINING: To drain the spa, follow the drawings inside the manual.

DRYING: After draining, ensure the spa pump, liner chamber, massage chain, and inflatable cover are completely dry to extend the life of the spa and avoid mildew.

CLEANING: Detergent residues and dissolved solids may build up on the spa walls. Use soap and water to clean the walls and rinse thoroughly. Do not use hard brushes or abrasive cleaners.

DEFLATING (For Inflatable Spas): The spa is equipped with a deflation function. Follow the drawings in the manual to deflate the spa.

REPAIRING:

• For PVC Material: Clean the area to be repaired. Peel the provided PVC repair patch, press it over the area, and wait 30 seconds before inflation.

• For Duraplus™ PVC Material: Clean and dry the area. Cut the provided PVC patch to size. Use glue (not included) to coat one side of the patch evenly. Wait 30 seconds, then place the patch with glue over the damaged area. Smooth out air bubbles and press firmly for two minutes. Wait 30 minutes before inflation.

STORAGE: Remove all accessories and ensure all parts are completely clean and dry. Fold the spa liner only if the environment temperature is above 10°C (50°F). Store the spa in a dry place with a moderate temperature between 10°C (50°F) and 38°C (100°F). It is strongly recommended to position the spa liner and inflatable cover inside a carton box for better protection during winter months.
