Make sure that the floor is able to support the expected load, which can be found on the specifications sheet. You will need to calculate the expected water capacity load plus the total weight.
An adequate draining system must be provided around the spa to deal with overflow water. To reduce the risk of injury:
- a) Lower water temperatures are recommended for young children and when spa use exceeds 10 minutes. In order to avoid the possibility of hyperthermia (heat stress) occurring, it is recommended that the average spa-pool water temperature does not exceed 40°C (104°F).
- 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 the spa water temperature to 38°C (100°F).
- c) Before entering the spa or hot tub, the user should measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of water temperature regulating devices may vary.
- d) The use of alcohol, drugs or medication before or during spa use may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
- e) The use of alcohol, drugs or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in spas.
- f) The causes and symptoms of hyperthermia may be described as follows: Hyperthermia occurs when the internal body temperature reaches a level several degrees above the normal body temperature of 37°C ‘
  (98.6°F).The symptoms of hyperthermia include an increase in the body’s internal temperature, dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness, and fainting. The effects of hyperthemia include a failure to perceive heat; a failure to recognize the need to exit the spa; an unawareness of impending hazards; fetal damage in pregnant women; a physical inability to exit the spa; and unconsciousness resulting in the danger of drowning.
- g) Obese persons or persons with a history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system prob lems, or diabetes should consult a physician before using a spa.
- h) Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a spa since some medication may induce drowsiness or affect the heart rate, blood pressure, or circulation.
- i) Check with a doctor before use if pregnant, diabetic, in poor health, or under medical care.
A recommendation that owners of spa pools learn a recognized resuscitation technique.
This spa pool is a heated water environment and if you are concerned that it may adversely affect you it is your responsibility to seek medical advice.

FIRST USE AND SETUP PREPARATION

Site preparation and requirements

The spa can be installed indoors or outdoors in around 10 minutes by one or more persons. For household use only.
The spa must be set up on a flat, smooth and supporting surface that is able to bear the maximum load of the filled spa with the listed maximum number of occupants. Check with a qualified contractor or structural engineer to verify the requirement.
Make sure the area is free of sharp objects under or around the spa. Uneven or unsound surface can damage the spa and void your warranty. Level the surface before filling the spa with water.
Provide an adequate drainage system around the spa to deal with overflow water and splashes. Provider a convenient water supply for filling the spa that complies with any local water regulations, and whose parameters shall be adjusted with the requirements of the water treatment section.
Make sure there is enough clearance around the spa for full access to the equipment for maintenance and/or servicing.
Consider positioning the spa to minimize noise disturbance as much as possible.

Additional requirements for indoor installation

Humidity is a natural side effect of indoor spa installation. The room must be properly ventilated to allow moisture to escape. Install a ventilating system to prevent excess condensation moisture in the room.
Ensure the spa can be removed from the building without destroying any part of the built structure.
Consider any local regulations on these topics.
Consider not to install the spa on carpet or other floor materials that promote or harbor moisture and bacterial, or that could be affected by water treatment chemicals used in the spa.

Additional requirements for outdoor installation

Do not set up the spa on grass or dirt, as this will increase the amount of debris entering the spa and will damage the floor.
To ensure a longer lifespan, do not leave the spa tub exposed to direct sunlight.
Always keep the manometer within the yellow section when using the spa at a temperature higher than 20°C (68°F) or when exposing it to sunlight for a short time.
Do not install or use the spa outdoors at a temperature lower than 4°C (39°F). Do not use the spa when the water inside the circulation system, pump, or pipework is frozen. Put a heat preservation mat (optional accessories)
between the base of the spa and the ground to prevent heat loss from the bottom of the spa and to provide better heat retention.
Consider local environmental conditions, such as ground water and risk of frost.

PRCD Testing

WARNING
Risk of electric shock: This product is provided with a PRCD located at the end of the power cord. The PRCD must be tested before each use. Do not use the spa if the PRCD does not function properly.

WATER MAINTENANCE AND CHEMICALS

CAUTION: ALWAYS ENSURE THE SPA IS UNPLUGGED BEFORE BEGINNING ANY MAINTENANCE WORK TO AVOID THE RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH.

FILTER CARTRIDGE MAINTENANCE

Inspect and clean the filter cartridge gently after each use. Follow the steps below:
NOTE: Change the filter cartridge every 3-5 days, or if the filter cartridge remains soiled and discolored.
NOTE: When the spa is filled with water, there should always be a filter cartridge installed on the base.
NOTE: Turn off all the functions before changing or cleaning the filter cartridge.
If the spa’s inlet or outlet becomes clogged with dirt, use the wrench to unscrew the cap and then clean as necessary.
NOTE: Before unscrewing the part, make sure the spa is empty. Never unscrew it when the spa is filled with water!

SPA WATER

Change the spa water every 3-5 days depending on use. If dirt is visible in the water or if the water becomes cloudy and the correct water chemistry does not clear it up, change the water and clean the spa tub. See the “Cleaning, draining and storage” section for instructions.
We recommend taking a shower before using the spa, as cosmetic products, lotions and other residues on the skin can quickly degrade the water quality.
When the spa is not in use, cover it with the buckle cover to prevent pollution.
Use spa chemicals to maintain the proper water conditions. Spa damage resulting from the misuse of chemicals or the mismanagement of spa water is not covered by the warranty. Consult with your local spa or pool retailer for more information on chemical use.

Water Sanitation
The spa owner must regularly check and keep the spa water sanitized with scheduled maintenance (daily, if necessary). Adding sanitizer or other chemicals will control bacteria and the reproduction of viruses in the spa water. Maintaining the correct water balance through the appropriate use of sanitizers is the most important factor in maximizing the life and appearance of the spa and ensuring clean, healthy and safe water.
Adopting the proper technique is important for testing and treating the spa water. Contact your spa professional if you have any questions on chemicals, sanitizers, test kits or test procedures.

Water Balance
Follow the instructions below to maintain your spa water.

PARAMETER	TEST FREQUENCY	CORRECT LEVEL

Daily

NOTE

A low pH will damage the spa tub and pump. Any damage resulting from a chemical imbalance will void the warranty.
A high pH (hard water) will result in white coagulations inside the filter pump, which may lead to pump damage.

Water Treatment:

It is good practice with an existing spa to keep all air jets open and valves closed to allow chemically treated water to flush through all pipework. Always follow the chemical manufacturer’s directions, and the health and hazard warning.
Never mix chemicals together. Add the chemicals to the spa water separately. Thoroughly dissolve each chemical before adding it to the water. Please note that chlorine and bromine products should never be mixed. This is extremely dangerous. If you usually use chlorine-based products and you want to switch to bromine-based products, or vice versa, it is essential that you change the spa water first.
Do not add chemicals if the spa is occupied. This can cause skin or eye irritation.
Do not overuse chemicals or use concentrated chlorine. This can damage the spa tub and cause potential hazard to your skin. Improper chemical use will void the warranty.

Floating Dispenser

Your spa comes with a standard chemical dispenser: This dispenser only applies to 1″ tablet. Do not pour liquid or granules into the dispenser.

DRAINAGE, CLEANING AND STORAGE

Spa Drainage

Turn off all the functions.

Spa Tub Cleaning
After the spa water is drained, use a sponge and a mild soap solution to wipe away any soil or stains on the inside of the spa wall. Rinse thoroughly before refilling with clean water.
IMPORTANT: Do not use steel wool, hard brushes or abrasive cleaners.

Spa deflation

Unscrew the valve completely to deflate the spa.
Once deflation is completed, replace the cap.

*Spa Tub and Air Bladder (Optional) Repair**
Use the enclosed repair patch to repair any puncture:

Clean and dry the area to be repaired thoroughly
Apply the glue to the PVC patch and quickly attach it onto the damaged surface. (Glue is not included)
Smooth the surface to remove any air bubbles and allow it dry for 5-10 minutes
NOTE: Glue is not included.

Storage and Preparation for Future Use

Drain and clean the spa by following the “Drainage” and “Spa Cleaning” sections.
Refer to the instructions to deflate the spa tub and air bladder.
Make sure all the spa components and accessories are thoroughly clean and dry before storage. Air-dry the spa tub in the mild sun for an hour before folding.
Fold the spa tub loosely and avoid any sharp corners to prevent damage or leakage to the spa liner.
Prepare new additional cartridge for next time use.
Store the spa and accessories in a dry, temperature-controlled environment, between 0°C and 40°C (32°F – 104°F). We recommend storing the spa with desiccant.
The original packaging is recommended for storage.
After long-term storage, fill the spa with clean water and sanitizer, and turn on the FILTER for at least 1 hour before use.

PRECAUTIONS FOR SEASONAL USE

Inflatable hot tubs are made of reinforced PVC material, whose nature decides the hot tubs are easily affected by weather and temperature. Please do pay special attention when using the spa under different seasonal conditions.

In Summer / Sunny days
Direct sunshine and hot weather will both lead the spa liner to expand.

To extend the service life of the spa, it is suggested to place the spa in a sheltered place.
Please check the air pressure regularly. The manometer should always point to the Green section when spa is filled with water. When leaving the spa outdoors unattended for long periods of time, release some air until the manometer points to the Yellow section. This will prevent the spa liner from expanding too much due to rising temperature during the daytime.
To protect your skin from sunburn, it is highly recommended to enjoy the spa in the morning or evening when the sunlight is milder and temperature is more comforting.
Check the water temperature and consider lowering it for the times when the spa is not in use. Turn off the heater entirely if not using the spa for an extended period of time.

In Winter

Inflation
Low temperature will harden the PVC material and make it more fragile.

The new spa might have been stored or transported at a low temperature (below 4°C / 39°F) before it is unfolded. Put the package indoors or somewhere warm for 12 hours to soften the material before use.
The lower the temperature is, the more air the spa tub will require, and the longer the inflation will take. After water is heated to a much higher tempera-ture, the air inside the chamber will get swollen. To shorten the inflation period, and to reduce the expansion of the spa liner, we suggest inflating the spa at a temperature higher than 15°C / 59°F. If the ambient temperature is below 0°C / 39°F, the spa should not be inflated.

Heating and Heat Preservation
In cold weather, heating the water up will take much more time. It is suggested to:

Fill the spa tub with lukewarm water (not higher than 40°C / 104°F) to get it heated it more quickly.
Use ground mat and inflatable bladder for better heat preservation effect.
When the outdoor temperature is below 4°C(39°F), even when not using the spa, as long as it is filled with water, the heater should always be turned on (or put the spa in stand-by mode) to prevent water from freezing.
Your spa is equipped with an Anti-icing System. Put the spa in stand-by mode, when the water temperature falls below 1°C/33.8°F, the heater runs automatically until the water is heated up to 3°C/37.4°F. This will help prevent water from freezing. If you are not going to use the spa in near future， please disassemble the spa and store it following the storage procedure.

In Rainy days
For the spa that is placed outdoors, do not use it when it rains.
If the spa is placed under rain shelter, do not turn on the bubble function. This is because the rain in the nearby air will also be sucked into the pump, causing the bubble generator to get damp and rusty which could result in malfunction and void your warranty.
It is recommended to put the plug and socket somewhere not exposed to rain to prevent damage caused by water accumulation due to excessive rain.

Annex A

Ensure that you read carefully, understand and follow all of the information in this user manual before installing and using your spa. These warnings, instructions, and safety guidelines address some common risks associated with water recreation, but they cannot cover all risks and dangers in all cases. Always use caution, common sense, and good judgment when enjoying any water activity. Retain this information for future use. In addition, the following information can be supplied depending on the spa type:

Safety of non-swimmers

Continuous, active, and vigilant supervision of weak swimmers and non-swimmers, especially in exercise spas, by a competent adult is required at all times (remembering that children under eight years of age are at the highest risk of drowning).
Designate a competent adult to supervise the spa each time it is being used.
Weak swimmers or non-swimmers should wear personal protection equipment, especially when using the exercise spa.
When the spa is not in use, or unsupervised, remove all toys from the spa and its surrounding area to avoid attracting children to the spa.
Safety devices
A safety cover or other safety protection device must be used, or all doors and windows (where applicable) shall be secured to prevent unauthorized access to the spa.
Barriers, covers, alarms, or similar safety devices are helpful aids, but they are not substitutes for continuous and competent adult supervision.
Safety equipment
It is recommended to keep rescue equipment (e.g. a ring buoy) by the spa (if appropriate).
Keep a working phone and a list of emergency phone numbers near the spa.
Safe use of the spa
Encourage all users, especially children, to learn how to swim.
Learn Basic Life Support (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation — CPR) and refresh this knowledge regularly. This can make a life-saving difference in the event of an emergency.
Instruct all spa users, including children, on what to do in case of an emergency.
Never dive into any shallow body of water. This can lead to serious injury or death.
Do not use the spa when using alcohol or medication that may impair the bather’s ability to safely use the spa.
When covers are used, remove them completely from the water surface before entering the spa.
Protect spa occupants from water-related illnesses by advising them to keep the water treated and practice good hygiene. Consult the water treatment guidelines in the user’s manual.
Store chemicals out of the reach of children.
Use the signage provided on the spa or within 2000 mm of the spa in a prominent visible position.
