WARNINGS – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY

• 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 and comfortable for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended for young children and when spa use exceeds 10 minutes.
• 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). Limit use to 10 minutes at a time.
• If you feel the water is too hot, before entering a spa, the user should measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer. If the water temperature is above 45°C (113°F), stop use of the spa until the temperature is reduced to under 40°C (104°F). When using an external thermometer, the temperature showed on the control panel and the external thermometer may be different. The difference should be around 3 degrees. This situation is normal due to the different location where the two instruments read the temperature.
• The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa use may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
• Obese people and people with a history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes should consult a physician before using a spa.
• People 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.
• Avoid putting your head under the water at all times.
• Avoid swallowing spa water.
• Consider that the comfortable temperature range during use may be lower than the maximum safe temperature.
• Never operate the spa if inlet/outlet pipes are broken or missing. Never attempt to replace the inlet/outlet pipes. Visit our website www.bestwaycorp.com to get the necessary information.
• Never pour water with a temperature higher than 40°C (104°F) into the spa pool directly.
• Do not use the spa alone.
• People with infectious diseases should not use a spa.
• Do not use the spa immediately following strenuous exercise.
• Immediately leave the spa if you feel uncomfortable or sleepy.

WARNINGS – SAFE SETUP AND STORAGE

• We strongly recommend not to unfolding and inflating the spa if the ambient temperature is below 15°C (59°F). We suggest inflating the spa indoors, and then continuing to setup outdoors. If the outdoor temperature is lower than 6°C (42.8°F), the spa heater must always be on. In this mode, the Freeze Shield™ system can keep the internal temperature between 6°C (42.8°F) and10°C (50°F) to prevent damage, such as water freezing in the pipes or the circulation system.
  CAUTION : If alarms pop up on the spa, the Freeze Shield™ system will stop working. Be sure to check the status of your spa if the outdoor temperature is below 6°C (42.8°F). In case of a long-term absence from home when there is a risk
  of temperatures falling below 6°C (42.8°F), we strongly suggest disassembling the spa and storing it following the storage procedure.

• When the appliance will be not used for a long time, such as in the winter, the spa or pool set should be disassembled and stored indoors.

• Do not to place the spa on a slippery surface and make sure the surface is free of sharp objects before installation.

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

• For safety reasons, only use the accessories provided or approved by the spa manufacturer.

• Regarding the information pertaining to the installation, refer to the following paragraph of the manual.

• Whenever the spa is emptied, the filter should be cleaned (and drained/dried, where applicable).

• Please examine equipment before use. Notify Best way at the customer service address listed on this manual for any damaged or missing parts at the time of purchase. Verify that the equipment components represent the models that you had intended to purchase.

• This product is not intended for commercial use.

• Always keep the spa cover on to minimize heat loss during heating of the spa between uses (but not while it is being used). Ensure the cover is fitted tightly, as per instructions to maximize insulation. It shall be recommended that the cover, when not in use, should be kept off the ground to retain its cleanliness (particularly the surface in close proximity to the water spa water surface). The cover should be stored in an appropriate location, where it cannot be damaged, or cause damage.

• Check the set water temperature and consider lowering it for the times when the spa will typically not be in use.

• Depending on external conditions, consider turning off the heater entirely if not using the spa for an extended period of time (where the spa provides this option, but still maintains residual disinfection/pH-values).

• It is recommended to use an insulating ground cloth underneath the spa to minimize heat loss through the bottom of the spa.

• Maintain clean filters to preserve appropriate working conditions for the pump and avoid unnecessary water replacement and re-heating.

• Keep the spa away from the rest area to minimize noise disturbance.

• Do not put the cover on the ground or any other dirty surface when not in place on the spa.

• When the spa is being used, the cover should be placed in a clean, dry area, otherwise it can pick up dirt and bacteria. Covers should not be put on wooden tables or wooden decking because of the risk of bleaching the wood. A cover lifter, or similar device, is useful for ensuring that the cover does not come into contact with the ground. A cover lifter is strongly recommended for spas in rental settings.

PRE-SETUP

CHECK LIST
To check the parts printed on the package, verify that the equipment components represent the model that you had intended to purchase. In case of any damaged or missing parts at the time of purchase, visit our website
bestwaycorp.com/support.

CHOOSE THE CORRECT LOCATION
Indoor and outdoor & above ground & portable wiring & portable spa.

Only For Spas Equipped With Wi-Fi:
To choose the correct location for the spa equipped with Wi-Fi, read the Spa Wi-Fi instruction leaflet included in the package and the following instructions.

For All Spas:
The surface chosen to install the pool 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. During filling, draining or when in use, water may flow out of the spa.
• 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. This situation can damage the welding point.
• The selected surface must be clear of any type of object. Due to the weight of the water, 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. Be sure the location does not contain underground utility pipes, lines or cables of any kind.
• The selected position must be far from the house entrance Do not position any equipment or other furniture around the spa. The water that comes out of the spa during the use or due to a faulty product can damage the furniture inside the house or surrounding the pool.
• Do not to install the spa on carpet or other floor materials (e.g. untreated cork, timber or other porous materials) that promote or harbor moisture and bacteria, or that could be affected by water treatment chemicals used in the spa.
• Consult your local government authority for installation regulations.

Suggested set-up surfaces: grass, ground, concrete, and all other surfaces that respect the above set-up conditions.
Not suggested surfaces: mud, sand, gravel, deck, balcony, driveway, platform, soft/loose soil or other surface that does not meet the above set-up conditions.

Indoor Installation
Be aware of special requirements if you install the spa indoors.

• Humidity is a natural side effect with Lay-Z-Spa 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 in the indoor location (ventilation and dehumidification) regularly to preserve the bathers’ safety and comfort.
• Empty the spa before removing it from the indoor location or building.

Outdoor Installation

• The selected surface must be clear of aggressive plants and weed species. Those types of strong vegetation could grow through the liner and create water or air leakage. The grass or other vegetation that may cause odor or slime to develop have to be eliminated from the set-up location.
• Do not leave the spa’s surface exposed to direct sunlight for long periods of time. We recommend protecting the spa from direct sun light exposure by a cover when not in use. Follow the important instructions above to choose the correct surface and location to set up your spa. Damaged parts of the spa, due to the fact that the set-up surface and location does not match the instructions, will not be considered as manufacture defect and will avoid the warranty and any service claims. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure the site meets the requirements at all times.
• Consult your local professional installers for environmental conditions, such as ground water and risk of frost.
• Recommended to protecting the spa from direct sunlight exposure by a cover when not in use.

SPA HEATER EQUIPOTENTIAL BONDING TERMINAL

• It is recommended to arrange for a qualified electrician to connect the spa pump to an equipotential bonding terminal using a minimum 2.5mm2 solid copper conductor.

• The water temperature shown on the display may not be correct, if the filtration system is not activated. To read the correct water temperature on the display, run the filtration system for at least a minute.
• The water temperature as tested by an external thermometer may vary from the temperature as displayed on the spa panel by as much as approximately 2°C (35.6°F).

WINTER USE INSTRUCTION

It is important to follow these suggestions if you are setting up the spa during the winter period. This will prevent any damage to the spa heater and material of the liner, extending the life of your product drastically.

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

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

• Position the spa liner outdoors in the desired position, then connect the spa heater and fill with water. The water temperature used to fill the spa must be above 6°C (42.8°F), otherwise when you begin to operate with the spa heater, 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), and it will 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 can keep the internal temperature between 6°C (42.8°F) and 10°C (50°F) to prevent damage, such as water freezing in the pipes or the circulation system.

• If any 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). In case of a long-term absence from home when there is a risk of temperatures falling below 6°C (42.8°F), we strongly suggest disassembling the spa and storing it following the storage procedure.

• Any damage as a result of using the spa in these conditions is the responsibility of the customer. Do not use the spa when the ambient temperature reaches

• 10°C (14°F).
  HEATING TIME

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

Ambient Temperature| Water Temperature| Set Temperature| Heating Duration
---|---|---|---
10ºC (50ºF)| 10ºC (50ºF)| 40ºC (104ºF)| 16-24h
15ºC (59ºF)| 15ºC (59ºF)| 40ºC (104ºF)| 12-20h
20ºC (68ºF)| 20ºC (68ºF)| 40ºC (104ºF)| 10-18h

MAINTENANCE

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

• It is normal that your spa liner may appear as if it is losing air. Changes in ambient temperature may change the internal air pressure in the liner.

• When detaching the pump from the liner, to avoid water coming out from the pipes, block the air pipe by screwing on the cap and installing the stoppers on the debris screens.
  COVER

• The cover shall be cleaned inside and outside periodically, using a gentle detergent for the PVC material.

FILTER CARTRIDGE

• To optimize the performance of the filtration system, check and clean your filter cartridge every day.

• We recommend changing your filter cartridge every week or replacing it if after washing, the filter cartridge remains soiled and discolored.
  WATER
  Many pollutants in the water settle on surfaces below the water line. These pollutants can cause bacterial, algal or fungal growth. It is recommended that spas are cleaned as regularly as necessary. After a time, tenacious stains or biofilms may develop on the accessible surfaces below the water line or high concentrations of salts or unwanted reaction by-products may also occur. Depending on hygienic condition, cleanliness, visibility, odour, debris and stains, it is recommended to change the water completely and clean/disinfect the spa. When emptying the spa, the regulations and the instructions for draining the water shall be observed.

• Keeping your spa water clean and chemically balanced is necessary. Simply cleaning the filter cartridge is not enough for proper maintenance, we recommend to use using pool chemicals to maintain water chemistry and chlorine or bromine tablets (do not use granules) with the chemical dispenser.

• Water quality will be directly related to frequency of use, number of users and overall maintenance of the spa. The water should be changed every
  3 days if there is no chemical treatment being performed with the water. It is highly recommended to use tap water for spa filling to minimize the influence of unwanted contents, such as minerals.

• 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.

• Don’t throw chemical products directly in the water; the chemical will deposit on the bottom of the spa and damage the material and discolor the PVC.
  Chemical Tablets (Not Included)

• Remove the chemical dispenser from spa when the spa is in use.

• 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 the following:

• Spa damage resulting from misuse of chemicals and mismanagement of spa water 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 or chemical supply retailer for more information about chemical maintenance. Pay close attention to the chemical manufacturer’s instructions.

• Over usage of chemical will discolor the printing and all points of the spa material; in worse case it will damage the structure of the spa liner.

DISASSEMBLY AND STORAGE

DRAINING

•  To drain the spa, follow the drawings inside the manual. Drawings are for illustration purposes only. May not reflect actual product. Not to scale.

DRYING

• After draining the spa, some water remains inside the spa pump, liner chamber, massage chain and inflatable cover. Make sure that all above parts of spa are completely dry. This is essential to extend the life of the spa and to avoid creation of mildew.
• The water inside the liner chamber and the inflatable cover come from the humidity in the air used to inflate them. The quantity of water may vary depending on the percentage of humidity in your area.
• To dry the different parts of the spa, follow the drawings inside the manual. Drawings are for illustration purposes only. May not reflect actual product. Not to scale.

CLEANING

• 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. Do not use hard brushes or abrasive cleaners.

DEFLATING

• Your spa is equipped with a deflation function to remove all the air from inside the chamber to make it easier to pack and store.
• To deflate the spa, follow the drawings inside the manual. Drawings are for illustration purposes only. May not reflect actual product. Not to scale.

REPAIRING
For PVC Material
If the spa is torn or punctured, use the provided PVC repair patch and follow the below steps:

• Clean the area to be repaired. Carefully peel patch.

• Press patch over the area to be repaired.

• Wait 30 seconds before inflation.

• For DuraplusTM PVC Material:
  If the spa is torn or punctured, use the provided PVC patch and glue (not included) and follow the below steps:

• Clean and dry the area to be repaired.

• Cut the provided PVC patch to appropriate size.

• Use glue (not included) to coat the one side of the newly cut patch. Make sure the glue is evenly distributed. Wait for 30 seconds and then place the cut patch with glue over the damaged area.

• Smooth out any bubbles of air that may be trapped underneath, and press firmly for two minutes.

• Wait 30 minutes before inflation.

STORAGE

•  Remove all accessories and make sure that spa liner, inflatable cover, pump and accessories are completely clean and dry before storing. If spa is not completely dry, mold may result and will damage the spa liner during the storage period.
• Fold the spa liner only if the environment temperature is above 10ºC / 50ºF. If spa is not completely dry, mold may result and will damage the pool liner.
• Store the spa in a dry place with a moderate temperature between 10ºC (50ºF) and 38ºC (100ºF).
• We strongly recommend positioning the spa liner and inflatable cover inside a carton box, to better protect the PVC material during winter months.
