IMPORTANT INSTRUCTION

It is essential to familiarize yourself with general spa pool safety and water treatment procedures. Please make sure to familiarize below contents:

• Drainage requirement: Ensure that the spa is not in a low or floodable position; as this could cause electrical equipment shortage or be dangerous to spa users.
• Risk of electric shock: As with all electrical appliances there is a risk of electrocution. The engine room within the cabinet, houses the control unit that operates the spa. The door enclosing the unit should always remain shut. If water happens to enter the engine room, turn the spa off at the power outlet and make sure all the components are dry before attempting to power the spa back up.
• Temperature: Keep your spa water temperature no higher than 40. Higher water temperatures can cause strain on the cardiovascular system. If the water temperature is higher than 40, get out of the spa and contact the dealer as soon as possible. It is recommended that the water temperature be no higher than body temperature i.e. 37.5.

Medical conditions

• People with diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease or other cardiovascular conditions should consult their physician before using a spa.
• People with open sores or any type of infection should not use the spa.
• Hot water is an ideal environment for spreading infection, especially if sanitizer levels are not properly maintained.
• Women who are pregnant should consult their physician before using a spa.
• To reduce the risk of contaminating spa water and minimize health risks, shower with soap and water prior to using the spa.

Soak and cool time
Limit spa use to no more than 15-20 minutes at a time. Some spa pools are equipped with a cooling seat. When you feel you are getting too hot, sit on the cooling seat and allow your body to cool. When you feel comfortable you may submerse yourself back into the spa pool. Sitting in the spa with your heart above the water level will dramatically decrease the time it takes to cool down. Hyperthermia may be fatal. Do not expose your body to prolonged exposure in water above normal body temperature.

Alcohol use and medication
The consumption of alcohol in and around the spa pool is a hazardous practice. Never use glass drinking vessels near the spa pool. Alcohol can cause drowsiness and lead to drowning. Any person taking medication should consult their physician before entering the spa pool.

Child/Handicapped safety
This appliance is not intend for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Preventing slips
Always take care when entering and exiting a spa due to slippery, uneven surfaces. Handrails and non-slip surfaces will help to minimize the risk of slipping and falling. In some cases steps may be needed to make entering the spa easier.

Electrical appliances
Never have any electrical devices within 2 meters of the spa.

Weather conditions
Do not operate or soak in a spa during severe weather conditions i.e. thunderstorms, cyclones or electrical storms.

Ventilation
If the spa pool is not sufficiently ventilated some people may experience throat irritations. Make sure that the spa pool is properly ventilated if you are installing it in an enclosed area.

Chemicals
Ozone and UV disinfection help reduce the application amount of chemicals in the spa. But spa chemicals are still necessary to control bacteria, prevent infection and maximize the life of your spa and its equipment. However, in concentrated form of these chemicals, like other household chemicals, can be hazardous. Always handle and use them with care. Refer to the product’s label for safety and handling information. A more in-depth explanation on how to use chemicals in your spa can be found in the Chemical Management section.

SPA INSTALLATION

Please always find a professional to install your spa, The manufacturer shall not be responsible for any damage caused by an improper installation or an installation performed by non-qualified personnel.

Positioning and location of the spa
Position your Hot Tub in an area that is very well supported and solid enough to take the weight of the tub including the water and the people enjoying the product, you could take advice from a structural engineer or your builder if in any doubt. Ensure that the hot tub is properly supported by either a level concrete pad, or a properly constructed deck capable of supporting1220kgs /m2 (250lbs./ft.2).

• A concrete base should be at least 4” thick and it not advisable to put your Hot tub on an elevated wooden platform without sound advice, again due to weight issue, the general message is “these things are heavy”.
• Avoid placing the spa where water could fl ood into the electrical equipment compartment, and also protect the unit from direct contact with very damp areas.
• It is recommended to place the spa away from trees, as falling leaves may block the filter.
• Your spa needs to be positioned so that the spa’s equipment is easily accessible. The equipment is located (in most cases) at the front of the spa and will need to be accessible for service and power connection. It is recommended that you have access to all sides allowing at least 1/2 a meter access around all 4 sides of your spa for future access if required. It will be the owner’s responsibility to make sure this is completed prior to the service being carried out. All portable spa equipment must be ventilated. Do not obstruct any vents in the cabinet.

IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT leave your spa in direct sunlight for extended periods of time. Doing so may void your warranty. The spa has covered insulation foam over the shell and pipe work. If left exposed to direct sunlight the surface temperature can build up to 200 ℃ causing damage to your spa. It is suggested that you not only have the hard cover over your spa while not in use but also have the spa in an area which is sheltered from extreme and harsh weather conditions. Leaving the spa uncovered and exposed may void your warranty on your spa and its accessories.

SPA WATER MANAGEMENT & MAINTENANCE

Please note that these instructions are just a guide to maintain the spa’s water quality. Before any actions, please consult your local spa specialist for proper amount of sanitizer use, and take proper action depending on the capacity of the spa. You should never use pool grade chemicals in your spa. Any damage to equipment caused by using pool grade chemicals or other improper chemicals will not be covered under warranty. spa water should be professionally tested at least once a month. It’s recommended that the water is tested weekly by the end user. When adding chemicals to the spa, make sure the pumps are running and allow 20-30 minutes for the chemicals to mix. Test the water after the chemicals are sufficiently mixed into the water.

NOTE: Do not cover the spa for at least 30 minutes after adding chemicals. The eff ect of PH Low pH (below 7.2) causes sanitizers to dissipate more rapidly, increases corrosion of surfaces and equipment, and may make water irritating to spa users. If pH is high (above 7.6) chlorinating sanitizers are less eff ective, surfaces and equipment can scale, water may cloud and shorter filters runs may occur.

• ATTENTION: The pH level measures the acidity and alkalinity: Values above 7 are alkali and below 7, are acid. A PH index of between 7.2 and 7.6 is recommended.
• WARNING: Please make sure that the correct PH level is maintained, any damage caused by an inadequate PH level is not covered by your spa guarantee.

PH adjustment
Check the pH of the spa water daily using the pH tester. (Not supplied).

• If the pH is above the above-mentioned indexes, do not enter the spa temporarily. Wait for two hours and re-do the pH test.
• If the pH is below the above-mentioned indexes, let the pumps prime. Wait for two hours and re-do the pH test.
• If the proper pH level can not be maintained by the above instructions, please add appropriate amount of acidity-alkalinity balance reagent into the water, uncover the spa cover, leave it mix in for 20 minutes, then re-do the pH test;

Disinfection of the water
Disinfection of the water is of utmost importance in order to destroy algae, bacteria and organisms that could develop in the water. However, excessive disinfection could cause skin and eye irritation.

• Ozone disinfection: Ozone or O3, is and oxidizing chemical compound, which is very eff ective for disinfecting water. The main advantage of ozone is that it leaves no chemical trace and is odorless. Generally the spa is equipped with one ozone generator which produces 50mg ozone per hour. Ozone disinfection is an automatic process and resulting ozone is injected into the water through the ozone injector, ozone mixer and coming out from the ozone jet (it is one of the four circulation jets at the bottom of the tub, you can see there are air bubbles coming out from it in the water). The ozone generator works automatically once the circulation pump is running. The indicator light of ozone generator will be on when it is working. You can open the skirt panel to check it.

NOTE: You are advised to replace the ozone generator every two years to get better disinfection eff ect.

The application of other special chemical products
Besides the pH adjustment and the above-mentioned disinfection ways, there are some cleaning products which can be used in spa water.

• ANTI-CALCAREOUS: it can be used to prevent/reduce precipitation of calcium salts (scale), especially in hard water areas. Use it once a week and whenever the water is renewed.
• Spa ALGAECIDE: Prevent algae from growing in the water, use it once a week and whenever the water is renewed.
• ANTIFOAM: Prevent precipitation of calcium salts (scale), use it once a week and whenever the water is renewed.
• BROMIDE TABLETS: a suitable disinfectant for the spa water. This product is placed in the pre-filter and gradually dissolves. Check the residual bromide level daily using the Br analyzer set. The recommended level of residual bromide is between 2.2 and 3.3 ppm.

WARNING

• Add the exact amounts to the water, as specified. Do not mix products, to avoid possible reactions.
• Do not smoke while handling these products – they may be flammable.
• Do not add chemical products to the water if there is someone in the spa.
• Keep containers tightly closed in dry, well-ventilated places, and keep these products away from children.
• Do not inhale chemical products, and take care not to let them come into contact with the eyes, nose or mouth. Wash hands after use.
• Follow the emergency instructions on the product label in the event of an accident or ingestion.
