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 are closely supervised at all times.

A wire connector is provided on this unit to connect a minimum 8 AWG (8.37 mm2) solid copper conductor between this unit and any metal equipment, metal enclosures of electrical equipment, metal water pipe, or conduit within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the unit.

DANGER:  Risk of injury.

• Replace damaged cord immediately.
• Do not bury 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.
• 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.
• Risk of Electric Shock. Install at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from all metal surfaces. As an alternative, a spa may be installed within 5 feet of metal surfaces if each metal surface is permanently connected by a minimum 8 AWG (8.37 mm2) solid copper conductor to the wire connector on the terminal box that is provided for this purpose.
• Risk of Electric Shock. Do not permit any electric appliance, such as a light, telephone, radio, or television, within 5 feet (1.5 m) of a spa.

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 should limit spa water temperatures to100°F (38°C).
• 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 WHEN IT IS RAINING.
• Water attracts children; Always attach a spa cover after each use.
• TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY: Never add water that is higher than 104°F (40°C) into the Spa.
• CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN FOR RECOMMENDATIONS.

CAUTION

• The spa should not be setup or left out in temperatures lower than 40°F (4°C).
• Do not use the spa alone.
• Always enter and exit the spa slowly and cautiously. Wet surfaces are slippery.
• To avoid damage to the pump, the spa must never be operated unless the spa is filled with water.
• Immediately leave spa if the user feels uncomfortable or sleepy.

INSTALLATION

Selected Location

IMPORTANT: Because of the combined weight of the SaluSpa, water, and users, it is extremely important that the base where the SaluSpa is installed is smooth, flat, level and capable of uniformly supporting the weight for the entire time the SaluSpa is installed (not on the carpet or other similar material). If the SaluSpa is placed on a surface, which does not meet these requirements, any damage caused by improper support is not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty. It is the responsibility of the SaluSpa owner to assure the integrity of the site at all times.

1. 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 moisture on exposed wood, paper, etc. in the proposed location. To minimize these effects, it is best to provide plenty of ventilation to the selected area. An architect can help determine if more ventilation is needed.
2. Outdoor Installation:
   • During filling, draining or when in use, water may spill out of the spa. Therefore the SaluSpa should be installed near a floor drain.
   • Do not leave the spa’s surface exposed to direct sunlight for long periods of time.

MAINTENANCE

NOTE: Your spa will require additional air to be added from time to time. Changes in temperature from day to night will change the pressure in the spa and may cause a certain amount of deflation. Please follow the Assembly instructions and drain the spa before inflating to the accurate pressure needed.

CAUTION: YOU MUST ENSURE THE PUMP IS UNPLUGGED BEFORE BEGINNING SPA MAINTENANCE TO AVOID RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH.

Filter Cartridge Maintenance

NOTE: To ensure your spa water stays clean, check and clean your filter cartridges every day follow the steps below.

NOTE: We recommend changing your filter cartridges every week or, If the filter cartridges remain soiled and discolored, they should be replaced.

Water Maintenance

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

NOTE: 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. To use the chemical floater, please follow the below instruction.

Using chemical tablets (not included)

Using chemical liquid (not included)

NOTE: Remove the chemical floater from spa when the spa is in use.

IMPORTANT: 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 as below table.

NOTE: Damage resulting from chemical imbalance 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 supply retailer for more information about chemical maintenance. Pay close attention to the chemical manufacturer’s instructions. Spa damage resulting from misuse of chemicals and mismanagement of spa water is not covered by the warranty.

Draining the Spa
