• During pregnancy, soaking in hot water may cause damage to the fetus. Limit use to 10 minutes at a time.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY

• A.  The water in a spa should never exceed 40°C (104°F). Water temperature between 38°C (100°F) and 40°C (104°F) is 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 temperature to 38°C (100°F).
• C. Before entering a spa, the user should measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of the water temperature regulating device varies.
• D. The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa use may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
• E.  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.
• F. Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a spa since some medications may induce drowsiness while other medications may affect heart rate. blood pressure, and circulation.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY

• Never pour water with a temperature higher than 40°C (104°F) into the spa pool directly.
• The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level that is several degrees above the normal body temperature of 37°C (98.6°F). 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 the spa or hot tub; unawareness of impending hazards; fetal damage in pregnant women: physical inability to exit the spa or hot tub: and unconsciousness resulting in the danger of drowning.
• Electric installations should follow national wiring rules, and consult a qualified electrician with any questions.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION: YOU MUST ENSURE THE PUMP IS UNPLUGGED BEFORE BEGINNING SPA MAINTENANCE TO AVOID THE RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH.

Filter Cartridge Maintenance

NOTE: To ensure your spa water stays clean, check and clean your filter cartridges every day follow the steps below.

NOTE: We recommend changing your filter cartridges every week or, if the filter cartridges remain soiled and discolored, they should be replaced.

Water Maintenance

Keeping your SPA water clean and chemically balanced is necessary. Simply cleaning the filter cartridge is not enough for proper maintenance, we recommend you use pool chemicals to maintain water chemistry and chlorine or bromine tablets (do not use granules) with the chemical floater. As a guide, the water should be changed about every 3 days. This is only a guide; water quality is influenced by the frequency of use, persons using the spa, and general maintenance.

Note: We recommend you take a shower before using your Lay-Z-Spa, as cosmetic products, lotions, and other residues on the skin can quickly degrade water quality.

To use the chemical floater, please follow the below instruction.

Using chemical tablets:

Using chemical liquid:

NOTE: Remove the chemical floater from the spa when the spa is in use.

IMPORTANT: 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 as table below.

NOTE: Damage resulting from chemical imbalance is not covered by the warranty. Pool chemicals are potentially toxic and should be handled with care. There are serious health risks from chemical vapors and the incorrect labeling and storage of chemical containers. Please consult your local pool supply retailer for more information about chemical maintenance. Pay close attention to the chemical manufacturer’s instructions. Spa damage resulting from the misuse of chemicals and mismanagement of spa water is not covered by the warranty.

Air-Valve Adjustment (For #54113 #54129 Only)

In case of air leakage, check the air valve first. Using soapy water, cover the air valve to check if the air is leaking, if so, use the provided wrench to fasten the air valve following these steps:

With one hand, hold the backside of the air valve from the inner side of the spa wall and turn the wrench clockwise

NOTE:

1. Do not over-tighten.
2. Always check the air valve carefully before use.
3. Do not adjust the air-valve connector when the spa is in use.

Draining the Spa

Cleaning the spa

Detergent residues and dissolved solids from bathing suits and chemicals may build up on the spa walls. Use soap and water to clean the walls and rinse thoroughly.

NOTE: DO NOT use hard brushes or abrasive cleaners.

Spa Repair

Lay-Z-Spa Storage

Make sure the spa and pump are completely dry. This is essential to extend the life of the spa. We recommend using the pump to blow dry the spa, pump, and pipes. Remove the filter sets and discard the used filter cartridges. Re- attach the two stopper caps onto the spa’s inlet and outlet valves. It is recommended you store the spa in its original package in a warm dry place.

NOTE: Plastic becomes brittle and susceptible to breaking when exposed to subzero temperatures. Freezing can severely damage the spa. Improper winterization of your spa can void your warranty.

Disposal

Meaning of the crossed-out wheeled dustbin symbol: Do not dispose of electrical appliances as unsorted municipal waste, use separate collection facilities. Contact your local government for information regarding the collection systems available. If electrical appliances are disposed of in landfills or dumps, hazardous substances can leak into the groundwater and get into the food chain, damaging your health and well-being. When replacing old appliances with new ones, the retailer is legally obligated to take back your old appliance for disposal at least free of charge.

Do you always have a Lay Z Spa running?

You can and should run your filter for at least eight hours each day. It is more cost-effective in the long run to leave the heat and filter on all the time if you intend to use your Lay-Z-Spa frequently.

What is the lifespan of a Lay Z Spa hot tub?

Some users only notice issues after a few months, while others claim their inflatable hot tub has lasted for up to five years. A hot tub typically lasts between two and three years of use.

How long does it take the Lay Z Spa to warm up?

The pump units heat the water by roughly 1 to 1.5 degrees Celsius every hour. It may take 24 to 48 hours to heat the water from cold.

A Lay Z Spa may be used in the rain.

A Lay-Z-Spa pump is waterproof, however, it is advised that you bring the spa and pump inside if there is going to be a lot of rain or other inclement weather. Consistently bad weather could harm your spa and pump.

Am I able to switch off my hot tub at night?

Your hot tub can be turned off, but it’s best to keep it going. Nevertheless, just a few factors could have an impact on whether you continue to run it or not.

What temperature is ideal for a relaxing spa?

Depending on the season, you and other household members can prefer different temperatures, but only you will know what you want. We at Lay-z-days want the tub to be between 38 and 39 degrees, but if our kids are entering, we always put it below 37 degrees.

What substances do lazy spas contain?

Both the chemical compounds bromine and chlorine have the ability to purify water by eradicating any bacteria or algae. The decision to use chlorine or bromine depends on your particular circumstances and personal preferences.

What is the lifespan of lazy spa filters?

It is advised that the filters be replaced every three days. After each usage, make sure to clean the filter.

Can a hot tub be left running with water in it?

While the electricity is down, never leave your hot tub stocked with water. Use a lockable hot tub cover, please.

How frequently should the water in my hot tub be changed?

Every three to four months, we advise clients to change the water in their hot tubs.

How is a sluggish spa drained?

Attach a hose to the bottom outlet pipe of your Lay-Z-Spa, then screw on the hose pipe adaptor. The bottom stopper cap inside the liner should be removed to allow the water to escape after you direct your hose into a drain.

Do you have room for a lazy spa outside?

If you don’t use your Lay-Z-Spa during the winter and the temperature falls below 4°C, the water inside the pump may freeze, resulting in costly damage.

Is there a lot of electricity used by a hot tub?

They typically consume between 3.5 and 6 kWh of electricity per day, however, the following variables will affect how much energy they consume and how much you pay: The climate outside (hot tub power usage in winter is often greater) how often you employ it. the duration of each usage session.

What is the ideal hot tub temperature?

The US Consumer Product Safety Commission states that the ideal range for hot tub water temperature is between 100°F and 102°F.
