Important Safety Instructions

When installing and using this electrical equipment,
always follow basic safety precautions. Following
these instructions will help make your first spa session
a pleasurable one.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
A licensed electrician may be required to upgrade your
standard receptacle and/or circuit breaker.
DANGER -- RISK OF ACCIDENTAL DROWNING: Do
not allow children to be in or around a spa unless
a responsible adult supervises them. Keep the spa
cover on and locked when not in use. See instructions
enclosed with your cover for locking procedures.
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 the flow
rates are compatible.
DANGER -- RISK OF INJURY: Never operate the spa
if the suction fitting or filter baskets are broken or
missing.
DANGER -- RISK OF INJURY: Never replace a suction
fitting with one that is rated less than the flow rate
marked on the original suction fitting.
DANGER -- RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK: Install the
spa at least 1.5 meters from all metal surfaces. As an
alternative, a spa may be installed within 1.5 meters
of metal surfaces if each metal surface is permanently
bonded by a minimum #8 AWG solid copper conductor
to the outside of the spa's control box.
DANGER -- RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK:
permit any external electrical appliances, such as
lights, telephones, radios, televisions, and etc., within
1.5 meters of the spa. Never attempt to operate any
electrical device from inside the spa. This does not
apply to lights, stereos and televisions that are built in
to the spa as factory options from Cal Spas™.
WARNING – RISK OF INJURY
The spa water should never exceed 40˚C. Water
temperatures between 38˚C and 40˚C are considered
safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are
recommended for young children and when spa use
exceeds 10 minutes.
High water temperatures have a high potential for
causing fetal damage during pregnancy. Women who
are pregnant, or who think they are pregnant, should
always check with their physician prior to spa usage.
2012 Portable Spa
LTR20121001, Rev. A
The use of alcohol, drugs or medication before or
during spa use may lead to unconsciousness, with
the possibility of drowning.
Persons suffering from obesity, a medical history of
heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory
system problems or diabetes should consult a
physician before using the spa.
Persons using medications should consult a physician
before using the spa since some medications may
induce drowsiness while others may affect heart
rate, blood pressure and circulation.
Hyperthermia Danger
Prolonged exposure to hot air or water can induce
hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the
internal temperature of the body reaches a level 2˚C
to 4˚C above the normal body temperature of 37˚C.
While hyperthermia has many health benefits, it is
important not to allow your body's core temperature
to rise above 39.5˚C. Symptoms of excessive
hyperthermia include dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness
and fainting. The effects of excessive hyperthermia
may include:
• Failure to perceive heat
• Failure to recognize the need to exit spa or hot
tub
• Unawareness of impending hazard
• Fetal damage in pregnant women
• Physical inability to exit the spa
Do not
• Unconsciousness
WARNING: The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication
can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia.
