A. The water in a spa should never exceed40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees F). Watertemperatures between 38 degrees C ( 100 F)and 40 degrees C (104 F) are considered safefor a healthy adult. Lower water temperaturesare recommended for extended use { exceed~ing 10 minutes} and for young chifdren.

2. DANGER -RISK OF ACCIDENTAL DROWN-ING. Extreme caution must be exercised toprevent unauthorized access by children. Toavoid accidents, ensure that children cannotuse a hot tub or spa unless they are super~vised at all times.

3. A ground terminal (pressure wire connector)is provided on the control box inside the unitto permit connection of a minimum No.8AWG (8.4 mm2) solid Copper bonding con-ductor between this point and any metalequipment, metal water pipe, metal enclo-sures of electrical equipment, or conduitwithin five feet (1.5 m) of the unit.

B. Since exceS$ive water temperatures havea high potential for causing fetal damage dur-ing the early months of pregnancy, pregn$ntor possibly pregnant women should "mit spaor hot tub temperatures to 38 degrees C (100F).

c. Before entering a spa, the user shouldmeasure the water temperature with an ac-curate thermometer, since .the tolerances ofwater temperature regutating devices vary.

4. DANGER -To reduce the risk of injury topersons, DO NOT remove suction fittings.The suction fittings in this spa are sized tomatch the specific water flow created by thepump. Should the need arise to replace thesuction fittings or the pump, be sure that theflow rates are compatible. Never operate thespa if the suction fittings are broken or miss-ing. Never replace a suction'-fitting with onerated less than the flow rate marked on theoriginal suction fitting.

D. The use of alcohot. drugs or medicationbefore or during spa use may' lead to uncon-sciousness with the possibility of drowning.

E. Persons suffering from obesity or with amedical hfstory of heart disease, low or highblood pressure, circulation system problems,or diabetes should consult a physician beforeusing a spa.

Install the spa so proper drainage is providedtor the compartment containing the electri.cal components.

5.

DANGER. RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK.Install at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from all metalsurfaces. (A spa may be installed within 5feet of a metal surface if each metai surfaceis permanently connected by a minimum No.8 AWG (8.42mm2) solid Copper conductor

1. DRAINING YOUR SPADetergent residues from bathing suits as wellas soap film from your body may graduallyaccumulate in the water. Foam inhibitors wfl/suppress the foam b~Jt \vill nQt remove thesoap from the water. Eventually, the SQapbuild-up in the water will concentrate enoughto leave an unclean feeling on the user's skin,cause sudsing and make the water impos-sible to clarify. Depending on tl)e amount ofsoap input, the spa water should last betweentwo and three months.

To drain your spa:A. Turn the power off at the GFCI breaker.B. Attach a garden hose to the yellow hosebib (III. 1 No.9) located under ths filter housinginside the equipment and route the Dutlat of thehose to an appropriate draining area.. The spawill empty by gravity. Siphon or scoop out thebalance of the water.

To clean the filter:A. Remove the cartridge and spray it with agarden hose. it v"ill be necessary to rotate thecartridge while spraying so as to thoroughlyremove the debris lodged between the filter

pleats.B. After allowing to dry, inspect the cartridgefor calcium deposit (scaling) or an oil film. RapidmjnGraJ build~up from hard water, or on bund~up from the use of oll-bas&d water scent orbody oil may coat the filter cartridge.

WATER QUALITY AND MAINTENANCE.GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR WATER QUALITY MAINTENANCE

Maintaining water quality within specific limits willenhance your enjoyment and prolong the lIfe ofthe spa. Safe, comfortable and clean spa water isa fairly simple task. to achieve, but it does requireregutar attention because of the numerous factorsthat can alter it. There is no one formula to be fol-lowed because of the variables, i.e. quality of thewater used to fill the spa, water temperature, userload, etc. For specific guidelirles for water qualitymaintenance, consult your VITA SPA dealer whocan assist you to develop a program based or1 yourspecific needs. Disregard for water maintenancewm result In poor soaking conditions, damage yourspa investment and possibly void your warranty.

IMPORTANT: NEVER USE CHLORINE TABLETS(TRICHLOR) IN YOUR SPA. This chemical canhave an extremely corrosive effect on certain ma"terials in the spa. Also, the use of liquids. chlorineor acid, are not recommended. Damage causedby use of these chemicals. or improper use of anychemical, Is not covered under the spa warranty.

OPTIONAL VITAZONE WATERPURIFtCA'tION SYSTEM

It you have e1ected to equip your spa with theoptional VITAZONE ozone water purificationsystem, you will find that your water stays freshand cjean wIth signfficantly Jess usage ofchemical sanitizer and you wIll also be able togo longer between spa draining. Read artdfollow the instructions !ncfud$d with yourV[TAZONE ozone water purification system todetermine how to adjust your chemical usageand filter cyc}es.

Spa water maintenance consists of three separate,easIly developed programs:

2.

3.

Sanitizing and maintaining a safe level ofsanitil.er in the spa water.Balancing the pH and maintaining the recom~mended mineral content level.And achieving and maintaining water clarity.

SANITI~INGTo destroy bacteria and organic compoundsin the spa water, a sanitizer must be usedregularly. The use of a bromine floater is rec.ommended. By regulating the amount of tab.lets, the amount the floater is open and thelength of the filtration cycles, you can controlthe amount of bromine in your spa. A bro-mine residual of 2 to 3 ppm Is generally con-sidered desirable. A two.part bromine systemor granular chlorine (dichlor) are also accept~able sanitizers.

pH CONTROLpH is a measure of acidity and alkalinity ofthe spa water. The recommended pH for spawater 1$ 7.4 to 7.6 ppm. Below 7.0 (consid-ered neutral), the spa water is acidic and cancause damage to the heating system. Above7.8 the water is too alkaline and can result Incloudy water and scale fom1ation on the spashell, heater and cover.
