1.1 Explanation of the symbols

• [No household waste symbol]: This product must not be disposed of with household waste!
• CE: By means of a CE marking, it can be recognized that a product complies with the legal requirements of European legal standards and therefore may be traded within the European Community.
• [Warning symbol]: Take special care when using this article.
• [Electrical warning symbol]: Warning of electrical voltage!
• [Safety instructions symbol]: Warning! Read the safety instructions carefully. Failure to follow the safety precautions could result in serious injury or damage. Keep the operating instructions in a safe place.
• [Pull out plug symbol]: Note: Pull out the mains plug!
• [Ground symbol]: Warning! Connect an earth terminal to the ground!

1.2 General Safety Instructions

• The appliance should be supplied through a residual current device (RCD/GFCI type) with a rated tripping current not exceeding 30mA.
• Electric installations should fulfil the requirements of local standards. Earthed appliances must be permanently connected to fixed wiring.
• Any damage to the electrical cable should be replaced by a competent party immediately before further use.
• It is recommended not to use an extension cord to connect to electrical supply.
• RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK: Never operate any external/additional electrical appliance when in the Spa or when your body is wet. Keep electrical appliances away from the spa.
• RISK OF ACCIDENTAL DROWNING: Children are forbidden from using the spa unless they are supervised at all times by a responsible adult.
• For health and safety reasons, children under 8 years old are not recommended to use these hot tubs.
• For children 8 years and older, it is recommended the temperature be set no higher than 37°C.
• When not in use, the cover should be fitted and locked to help retain heat. This also prevents unsupervised children accessing the spa.
• Shower before using your spa. Cosmetic products, lotions, etc. on skin can degrade water quality.
• Do not switch on if there is any possibility that water in the spa or control system is frozen.
• Pets should be kept away from your spa at all times.
• Soaking in hot water during pregnancy can cause damage to the unborn foetus. If you have any specific concerns, please consult your doctor before continuing to use your hot tub.
• Use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during use of your spa can increase the risk of drowning.
• Individuals with a history of heart disease, low/high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes should consult a doctor before using the spa. People using medication should consult their doctor before using the spa, as some medications may cause drowsiness or affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.
• Water temperature in a spa should never exceed 42°C (107°F). Operating temperatures between 38-40°C (100-104°F) are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower temperatures are recommended for younger children and when use exceeds 10 continuous minutes.
• A maximum temperature of 42°C can be programmed. Once the cover is removed, water temperature will automatically drop as heat is released through evaporation. An additional 2°C compensates for heat loss. When ready to use, reduce the maximum temperature to the recommended 38-40°C (100-104°F) and ensure the temperature reading is no greater than 40°C.
• Immediately get out of your spa if you feel uncomfortable or sleepy.
• Do not turn the spa on when it is empty, as this could cause irreparable damage to the pump system, nullifying any warranty.
• To avoid damaging the pump & heating system during colder weather, the spa is fitted with 365 FreezeGuard Technology. Set the temperature to 5°C to prevent any water in the system from freezing.
• Always add chemicals to a jug of water to avoid strong fumes or violent reactions that may result in a hazardous chemical spray.
• To avoid accidental resetting of the thermal cut-out, this appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.
• WARNING: Adequate drainage must be provided to deal with overflow of water.
• IMPORTANT: For set-up/installation, the surface must be smooth, flat, level, and capable of evenly supporting the weight of the spa, water, and users. For example, a 6 Person Square spa filled weight is approximately 980kg plus the combined weight of occupants.
• It is the responsibility of the spa's owner to assure the integrity of the site at all times.

4. Set Up

4.1 Before setting up outdoors

1. Setup your spa on a solid, level foundation, avoiding sharp objects as they could damage the hot tub.
2. Ensure your spa hot tub is plugged into an external mains socket, professionally fitted, with weather proofing. An extension cable is not recommended as it can be a fire risk.
3. Do not place your hot tub in direct sunlight or over-inflate it, as this will cause the hot tub to bulge in areas as the PVC heats up. This bulging could also put additional stress on the internal welds, leading to a weld failure.
4. During filling, emptying, or when in use, water may spill out. Install near to a drainage point capable of managing the volume of water.

4.2 Before setting up indoors

1. The floor must be able to withstand the weight of the spa's occupants.
2. The floor should be a non-slip, level surface.
3. Before placing your hot tub indoors, ensure suitable drainage is available and can be reached. Carefully consider the placement of your hot tub before installation.

• After approximately 168 hours, 'FC' will appear on the display screen (flashing) with a warning tone. The red light will still be lit on FILTER, the pump will not be operational, and the heating system will also not work, with the red light off.
• To ensure the filtration system is off, press FILTER. The 'FC' on the display screen will disappear, as will the warning tone. The water temperature will be displayed, and all functions will return to normal. 'FC' and the warning tone remind the user to replace the filter.

6. Maintenance and Repair

Water level

Water should be filled and maintained between the "Min" and "Max" fill lines as indicated on the inner wall of your spa.

Importance of water treatment

You need to regularly monitor and appropriately treat the water in your spa.

People with the following traits are at higher risk including:

• Diabetes, lung and heart disease
• Smokers and heavy drinkers
• Anyone with an impaired immune system
• People suffering from chronic respiratory or kidney disease.

For more information, contact your doctor.

Water and legionnaires disease?

Legionnaires' disease can be contracted by inhaling small droplets of water (called aerosols), which are suspended in the air and contain the bacteria. Certain conditions increase the risk of Legionella if:

• Water temperature in all or some parts of the system is between 20-45°C, which is suitable for the growth of the bacteria.
• It is possible for breathable water droplets to be created and water is stored and/or re-circulated.
• There are deposits that can support bacterial growth, providing a source of nutrients for the organism (e.g., rust, sludge, scale, organic matter, and biofilms from the body).

Cleaning

Detergent residues, dissolved solids from bathing suits, and chemicals will gradually accumulate in the water. To clean your spa, use soap and water, then rinse thoroughly.

Please note: Do not use hard brushes or abrasive cleaners.

Repairing punctures

If your spa is torn/punctured, use repair patches. Completely dry the area to be repaired, apply strong adhesive to the repair patch, and then cover the damaged area. Smooth the surface to remove any air bubbles. Leave to dry for 12 hours before using the spa.

7. Storage

7.1 How to empty your spa

1. Switch off the spa at the electrical mains.
2. Unscrew the cap from the drainage outlet, located near the pump system of the spa. Ensure the drainage plug is inserted to prevent unexpected draining.
3. Remove the drainage plug from the outlet within the floor of the spa, so water can flow out.
4. Once drained, use a sponge to absorb excess water. Switch the spa on, allowing you to operate the air jet function for up to 20 minutes (one full cycle) to drain water and dry out the pipeline. If not completely dry after the first cycle, repeat.
5. When draining has finished, replace the drainage plug and the drainage outlet cap.
6. Disconnect the pump and heating system and dry thoroughly.

7.2 How to deflate your spa

1. Remove the filter cartridge and filter sock.
2. Locate the inflation valve.
3. Remove the valve cap by twisting 90°C anti-clockwise.
4. Press the inflation valve down, twisting 90° clockwise to lock it in place, releasing air.
5. Fold away carefully, removing as much air as possible through the open valve.
6. When fully deflated, turn the inflation valve 90° anti-clockwise to close – the button will pop up.
7. Replace the valve cap and turn it 90° clockwise to lock.

7.3 Storing

Make sure all water is completely drained from the spa and pump system. This is vital in extending the life of your spa. We recommend the use of a wet/dry vacuum to help blow out / suck up water from pipes and pump lines. Remove the filter cartridge. The spa should be placed in the bag provided and stored in a dry place, raised off the floor and away from extreme temperatures.

Please note: When not in use, store in a place that is dry and at a moderate temperature, as sub-zero temperatures can severely damage your spa.

7.4 When to change your spa filter

Keep your spa hot tub clean and safe from contaminants. For optimum performance, unscrew the filter and rinse with clean water after every use to remove any small particles and residue. The filter is one of the most important elements to ensure your spa hot tub works effectively.

1. Remove the filter "sock" protective cover, then remove the filter.
2. Rinse the filter under a cold tap and reuse. Alternatively, machine wash your filter (place in a pillowcase) to keep it clean and to maintain its performance.

Replace your old filter with a new one if:

• The filter remains soiled after cleaning.
• Holes are visible in the paper.
• The paper is noticeably worn.

3. Replace the filter "sock" protective cover over the filter and attach it to the filter connector by turning it clockwise. Do not overtighten, as this may cause a "rattling" noise.

Remember! Check your filter every day!

To help keep your water clean, check your filter cartridge every day.

7.5 Winter storage

Drain all the water from the pool. Remove the filter cartridge. Clean and dry the SPA and attachments. Expel all the air from the pool. Loosely fold up the pool, avoiding sharp corners to prevent damage. Store the pool in a dry, frost-free place. The original packaging can be used for storage.

Caution!

Plastic can become brittle and fragile when it is exposed to sub-zero temperatures. Freezing can severely damage the pool. Improper winter storage may invalidate the warranty. The manufacturer cannot accept liability for damage to the pool and its components resulting from the use of antifreeze agents.
