Safety Instructions

All electrical work must be performed by a licensed electrician and conform to all national, state, and local codes.
and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
RISK OF SUCTIOn EnTRaPMEnT haZaRD, whICh, IF nOT aVOIDED, Can RESUlT In SERIOUS
InJURY OR DEaTh. Do not block pump suction, as this can cause severe injury or death. Do not
use this pump for wading pools, shallow pools, or spas containing bottom drains, unless the pump is
connected to at least two (2) functioning suction outlets. Drain covers must be certified to the latest
published edition of ANSI
To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product.
To reduce the risk of property damage or injury, do not attempt to change the backwash (multiport, slide,
or full flow) valve position with the pump running.
To reduce the risk of injury, 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.
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.
To Reduce the Risk of Injury -
a) 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.
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 spa water temperatures to 100°F (38°C).
c) 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.
d) The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa or hot tub use may lead to unconsciousness with
the possibility of drowning.
e) 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.
f) 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.
