WARNING
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS When using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

• WARNING – To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times.
• A wire connector is provided on this unit to connect a minimum 8.37 mm2 (8 AWG) solid copper conductor between this unit and any metal equipment, metal enclosures of electrical equipment, metal water pipe, or conduit within 1.5 m (5 ft) of the unit.
• DANGER – Risk of injury.
• Replace the damaged cord immediately.
• Do not bury the cord.
• Connect to a grounded, grounding-type receptacle only.
• WARNING – This product is provided with a ground-fault circuit interrupter integrated with the power plug at the end of the cord. 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.
• 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 spa if the 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.
• DANGER – Risk of Electric Shock. Install at least 1.5 m (5 ft) from all metal surfaces. As an alternative, a spa may be installed within 1.5 m (5 ft) of metal surfaces if each metal surface is permanently connected by a minimum 8.37 mm2 (8 AWG) 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 1.5 m (5 ft) of a spa.
• WARNING – To reduce the risk of injury:
• The water in a spa should never exceed 40°C (104°F). Water temperatures between 38°C (100°F) and 40°C (104°F) are considered safe 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 temperatures to 38°C (100°F).
• Before entering a spa, the user should measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of water temperature-regulating devices varies.
• 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 medications may induce drowsiness while other medications 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 the plug dry, plugging in with a wet plug is definitely forbidden.
• Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body 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 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 hazard, fetal damage in pregnant women, physical inability to exit the spa or hot tub, and unconsciousness resulting in the danger of drowning.
• WARNING: The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia.
• WARNING: Water attracts children; Always attach a spa cover after each use.
• WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY: Never add water that is higher than 40°C (104°F) into the spa.

CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN FOR RECOMMENDATIONS.
CAUTION

• We strongly recommend not to unfold and inflate the spa if the ambient temperature is below 15°C (59°F). We suggest inflating the spa indoors and then continuing set up 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) and 10°C (50°F) to prevent damage, such as water freezing in the pipes or the circulation system.
• IMPORTANT: If the Freeze Shield™ system isn’t working, alarms will pop up on the spa. 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.
• 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 the spa if the user feels uncomfortable or sleepy.

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 SaluSpa 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.

INSTALLATION

For the installation instructions, follow the drawings printed on the package. Drawings are for illustration purposes only. May not reflect actual product. Not to scale.

RECOMMENDATIONS DURING THE INSTALLATION

• Use of an extension cord or multi-plug adaptor with the spa heater is dangerous and can cause the plug to overheat, causing damage to the equipment and surrounding items.
• Keep the spa away from the rest area to minimize noise disturbance.
• Keep at least 1m clearance around the spa.
• We don’t recommend using sea water to fill the pool. Sea water can corrode the internal metal components due to the high concentration of salt.
• The filtration system of the spa is designed to be used only with the filter cartridge. Any other component added inside the filter set can cause damage to the filtration system of the spa. This will not be covered by customer service

INFLATION INFORMATION

• Only For Inflatable Spa Liner or Inflatable Cover:
• When inflating, you will notice that air will be expelled from the area where the air hose connects to the pump, this is normal for technique requirements.
• Don’t cover the holes on the base of the inflation hose, the inflation hose is designed to inflate the spa to the correct pressure. This operation will over inflate the liner and damage the structure.
• Do not use an air compressor to inflate the spa.
• Do not drag the pool on rough ground as this may cause damage to the spa liner. Inflation time for reference only.

HAND PUMP PRESSURE GAUGE
Only For Fortifiber Spa:

• The air pressure gauge of the hand pump only shows the air pressure higher than 5 psi, which is normal. When the air pressure in the product is lower than 5 psi, the air pressure gauge will not show a value.

The WATER HEATER rate may change in the conditions below

• When the outdoor temperature is below 15°C (59°F).
• If the cover is not in position. Always keep the spa cover on when the spa is not in use; it avoids dust contaminating the water and it minimizes heat loss.
• 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 INSTRUCTIONS

• 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)| 23-40hr
15ºC (59ºF)| 15ºC (59ºF)| 40ºC (104ºF)| 18-36hr
20ºC (68ºF)| 20ºC (68ºF)| 40ºC (104ºF)| 13-29hr
25ºC (77ºF)| 25ºC (77ºF)| 40ºC (104ºF)| 9-20hr
30ºC (86ºF)| 30ºC (86ºF)| 40ºC (104ºF)| 7-15hr

• We do not recommend setting up the spa, filling it and heating it for the first time when the outdoor ambient temperature is below 10ºC (50ºF) as it will take a very long time to heat.
• To reach and maintain maximum water temperature of 40ºC (104ºF), outdoor temperature must not be lower than -5ºC (23ºF).
• Do not operate the spa below -10ºC (14ºF).
• 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. When the spa is assembled with water, do not switch off the spa heater if the temperature is lower than 6ºC (42.8°F).

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 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 SaluSpa, 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 chemicals will discolor the printing and all points of the spa material; in the worst 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
Only For Inflatable Spas:

• 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.
