Important Safety Instructions

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
All electrical work must be performed by a licensed electrician and conform to all national, state, and local codes. When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

DANGER
To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, do not remove the suction fittings of your spa or hot tub. Never operate a spa or hot tub if the suction fittings are broken or missing. Never replace a suction fitting with one rated less than the flow rate marked on the equipment assembly.

WARNING
Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6°F (37°C). The symptoms of hyperthermia include dizziness, fainting, drowsiness, lethargy, and an increase in the internal temperature of the body. The effects of hyperthermia include: 1) unawareness of impending danger; 2) failure to perceive heat; 3) failure to recognize the need to exit spa; 4) physical inability to exit spa; 5) fetal damage in pregnant women; 6) unconsciousness resulting in a danger of drowning. The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia.

WARNING
To Reduce the Risk of Injury

  • The water in a spa should never exceed 104°F (40°C). Water temperatures between 100°F (38°C) and 104°F (40°C) 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 consult a physician before using a spa or hot tub, and should limit spa water temperatures to 100°F (38°C). Water temperature in excess of 100°F (38°C) may be injurious to your health.
  • Before entering a spa or hot tub, 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 or hot tub 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 or hot tub since some medication may induce drowsiness while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.

WARNING
Risk of electric shock which could result in severe injury or death – Install the controller at least 2 ft.
(0.6m) vertically off the ground and five (5) feet (1.52 m) from the inside wall of the pool and/or hot tub using non-metallic plumbing so children cannot use the equipment to access the pool and be injured or drown. Canadian installations must be at least three (3) meters from the water.
PREVENT CHILD DROWNING: Do not let anyone, especially small children, sit, step, lean or climb on any equipment installed as part of your pool’s operational system.
Children should not use spas or hot tubs without adult supervision.
Do not use spas or hot tubs unless all suction guards are installed to prevent body and hair entrapment.
People using medications and/or having an adverse medical history should consult a physician before using a spa or hot tub.

WARNING
To avoid injury ensure that you use this control system to control only packaged pool/spa heaters which have built-in operating and high limit controls to limit water temperature for pool/spa applications. This device should not be relied upon as a safety limit control.

WARNING
People with infectious diseases should not use a spa or hot tub.
To avoid injury, exercise care when entering or exiting the spa or hot tub.
Do not use drugs or alcohol before or during the use of a spa or hot tub to avoid unconsciousness and possible drowning.
Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should consult a physician before using a spa or tub.
Water temperature in excess of 100°F (38°C) may be hazardous to your health.
Before entering a spa or hot tub, measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer.
Do not use a spa or hot tub immediately following strenuous exercise.
Prolonged immersion in a spa or hot tub may be injurious to your health.
Do not permit any electric appliance (such as a light, telephone, radio, or television) within five (5) feet (1.52 m) of a spa or hot tub.
The use of alcohol, drugs or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in hot tubs and spas.

WARNING
A terminal bar marked “GROUND” is provided within the controller. To reduce the risk of electrical shock which can cause serious injury or death, connect this terminal bar to the grounding terminal of your electric service or supply panel with a continuous copper conductor having green insulation and one that is equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying this equipment, but no smaller than no. 12 AWG (3.3 mm2). In addition, a second wire connector should be bonded with a no. 8 AWG (8.4 mm2) copper wire to any metal ladders, water pipes, or other metal within five (5) feet (1.52 m) of the pool/spa. In Canada the bonding wire must be minimum 6 AWG (13.3 mm2).

WARNING
To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire or injury, service should only be attempted by a qualified pool service professional.
Risk of Electric Shock. Connect only to a branch circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI).
(in Canada: CONNECT ONLY TO A CIRCUIT PROTECTED BY A CLASS A GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER) Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the circuit is protected by a GFCI.
Such a GFCI should be tested on a routine basis. (In Canada: TEST THE GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER BEFORE EACH USE OF THE SPA) To test the GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push the reset button. Power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI is defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to this equipment without the test button being pushed, a ground current is flowing, indicating the possibility of an electric shock. Do not use this equipment. Disconnect this equipment and have the problem corrected by a qualified service representative before using.
Do not bury the cords. Locate cords to minimize abuse from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, and other equipment.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, replace damaged cord immediately and do not use an extension cord to connect unit to electric supply; provide a properly located outlet.
This equipment is for use with permanently-installed pools only. Do not use with storable pools. A storable pool is constructed so that it is capable of being readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original integrity. A permanently-installed pool is constructed in or on the ground or in a building such that it cannot be readily disassembled for storage.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are supervised at all times.

CAUTION
The conductors on the load side of the ground-fault circuit-interrupter shall not occupy conduit, boxes, or enclosures containing other conductors unless the additional conductors are also protected by a ground-fault circuit- interrupter. Refer to local codes for complete details. MAINTAIN WATER CHEMISTRY IN ACCORDANCE WITH MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS.

Freeze Protect

NOTE By factory default the filter pump circuit is freeze protected. During freeze protection, the filter pump cannot be turned off.

IMPORTANT
Freeze protection is intended to protect equipment and plumbing for short periods of freezing only.
It does this by activating the filtration pump and circulating the water to prevent freeze inside equipment or plumbing. Freeze protection does not guarantee that equipment will not be damaged by extended periods of freezing temperatures or power outages. In these conditions, the pool and spa should be shut down completely (e.g. drained of water and closed for the winter) until warmer weather exists.

CAUTION
Activating the spa during freezing conditions will override freeze protection. This means that if you are using your spa when freezing conditions exist, freeze protection will not circulate water to non-spa related equipment that you may have freeze protected
(e.g. pool cleaner, booster pump.) Under these circumstances, the potential for equipment damage may exist.

Set Temperature:
INSTALL SETTINGS > FREEZE PROTECT > SET TEMP
Set outside temperature at which freeze protect function is activated. Activation temperature can be adjusted between 34°F and 42°F. Default freeze protection activation temperature is 38ºF.
