Your Guide to Safe Operation and Maintenance

Welcome to Your Lay-Z-Spa

This manual provides essential information for the safe installation, operation, and maintenance of your Bestway Lay-Z-Spa. Please read and understand all instructions before use to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.

Important Safety Instructions ⚠️

WARNING: Always read, understand, and follow all instructions in this manual before installing and using the spa.

The spa must be supplied through an isolating transformer or a residual current device (RCD) with a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30mA.
Connect the spa to a grounded mains supply socket with a supply cord fitted with a plug and PRCD with a tripping current of 10mA.
Test the pump before each use.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, service agent, or similarly qualified persons to avoid a hazard.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use extension cords. Provide a properly located outlet.
No part of the appliance should be located above the bath during use.
Parts containing live parts (except safety extra-low voltage parts not exceeding 12V) must be inaccessible to persons in the spa pool. Electrical components must be located or fixed so they cannot fall into the spa pool.
The spa must be supplied by an earthed power source.
The power source on the wall of the building should be more than 4m away from the pool.
WARNING: Always keep the plug dry. Plugging in with a wet plug is strictly forbidden!
The plug must be directly connected only to a socket-outlet of the fixed electrical installation.
The plug must be accessible after installation.
CAUTION: To avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the thermal cut-out, this appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device (like a timer) or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.
After 3-5 years of use, contact a qualified maintenance technician to ensure safety and performance.
TO AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCK: DO NOT USE THE SPA WHEN IT IS RAINING, THUNDERING, OR LIGHTNING.
Never wear contact lenses in your spa.
Do not use the spa during chemical maintenance.
Extension cords cannot be used.
Do not plug or unplug the appliance if your hand is wet.
Always unplug the appliance before cleaning, maintenance, or if left unattended on holidays.
When not in use for a long time (e.g., winter), the spa should be disassembled and stored indoors.
For safety reasons, only use accessories provided or approved by the spa manufacturer.
Do not place the spa on a slippery surface and ensure the surface is free of sharp objects before installation.
Never place any electrical supplies or appliances (light, telephone, radio, television) within 2m of the spa.
Caution: Read the instructions before using the appliance and installation or reassembly every time. Keep the instructions for future reference.
Warning: A PRCD (Portable Residual Current Device) is incorporated in the power cord for electric safety. If leakage current is detected above 10mA, the device will operate and cut off the power supply. Do not reset the product yourself; contact a local service agent.
This appliance can be used by children aged 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning safe use and understand the hazards. Children shall not play with the appliance.
Cleaning and user maintenance must be performed by an adult over 18 years old.
Water attracts children; always attach a spa cover after each use.
Do not bury the cord. Locate the cord to minimize abuse from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, and other equipment.
DANGER - Risk of Accidental Drowning: Exercise caution to prevent unauthorized access to the spa by children. Ensure children are kept under constant adult supervision.
DANGER - Risk of Injury: Suction fittings are sized for specific water flow. Never operate the spa if suction fittings are broken or missing. Replace fittings only with those rated for the original flow rate.
RISK OF INJURY: Never operate the spa if inlet/outlet pipes are broken or missing. Always consult your local aftersales center.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK: Install at least 2m from all metal surfaces. Never operate any electrical appliance while in your spa or when your body is wet.
During pregnancy, soaking in hot water may cause damage to the fetus. Limit use to 10 minutes at a time.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY:

Water temperature should not exceed 40°C (104°F). 38°C-40°C (100°F-104°F) is safe for healthy adults. Lower temperatures are recommended for children and longer use.
Pregnant women should limit spa water temperature to 38°C (100°F).
Measure water temperature with an accurate thermometer before entering.
Alcohol, drugs, or medication use may lead to unconsciousness and drowning.
Obese persons or those with heart disease, high/low blood pressure, circulatory problems, or diabetes should consult a physician before use.
Persons using medication should consult a physician, as some may cause drowsiness or affect heart rate/blood pressure.
Avoid putting the head under water.
Avoid swallowing spa water.
Never pour water with a temperature higher than 40°C (104°F) directly into the spa pool.

Hyperthermia can occur when body temperature exceeds 37°C (98.6°F). Symptoms include increased body temperature, dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness, and fainting. Effects include failure to perceive heat, unawareness of hazards, fetal damage, and unconsciousness.
Electric installations must follow national wiring rules; consult a qualified electrician.
These guidelines cannot cover all risks. Use caution, common sense, and good judgment.
Non-Swimmers Safety: Continuous, active, and vigilant supervision by a competent adult is required at all times, especially for children under five years of age. Designate a competent adult to supervise. Weak swimmers/non-swimmers should wear personal protection equipment. Remove toys from the spa and surrounding area when not in use.
Safety Devices: Use a safety cover or other protection device. Secure doors and windows. Barriers, covers, and alarms are helpful but not substitutes for supervision.
Safety Equipment: Keep rescue equipment (e.g., ring buoy) and a working phone with emergency numbers nearby.
Safe Use of the Spa: Encourage learning to swim and Basic Life Support (CPR). Instruct users on emergency procedures. Never dive into shallow water. Do not use the spa under the influence of alcohol or medication. Remove covers before entering. Keep water treated and practice good hygiene. Store chemicals out of reach of children. Use provided signage. Store removable ladders safely.
CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN FOR RECOMMENDATIONS.
CAUTION: Do not unfold/inflate if ambient temperature is below 15°C (59°F). Inflate indoors. If outdoor temperature is below 6°C (42.8°F), the spa heater must be on. The Freeze Shield™ system keeps internal temperature between 6°C (42.8°F) and 10°C (50°F) to prevent freezing.
If Freeze Shield™ is not working, alarms will pop up. Check spa status if outdoor temperature is below 6°C (42.8°F). For long-term absence during risk of freezing, disassemble and store the spa.
Do not use the spa alone.
People with infectious diseases should not use a spa.
Do not use the spa immediately following strenuous exercise.
Enter and exit the spa slowly and cautiously; wet surfaces are slippery.
Never operate the pump unless the spa is filled with water.
Immediately leave the spa if feeling uncomfortable or sleepy.
Never add water to chemicals; always add chemicals to water to avoid hazardous reactions.
Refer to the "MAINTENANCE" section for cleaning, water, and disposal information.
NOTE: Examine equipment before use. Notify Bestway of any damaged or missing parts. Verify components match your intended purchase.
This product is not intended for commercial use.

Location and Installation ?

Selected Location

The location must support the expected load and have an adequate drainage system for overflow water.

Keep the spa cover on to minimize heat loss, ensuring it is fitted tightly. When not in use, store the cover off the ground to maintain cleanliness.
Consider lowering the set water temperature when the spa is not in use.
Turn off the heater entirely for extended periods of non-use, if the option is available.
Use an insulating ground cloth underneath the spa to minimize heat loss.
Maintain clean filters for pump efficiency and to avoid unnecessary water replacement.
Keep the spa away from rest areas to minimize noise disturbance.
Consult a qualified contractor or structural engineer to verify the support material's strength for the spa, water, and bathers.
Keep at least 1m clearance around the spa.
Consult local government for water regulations and childproof fencing/safety barrier requirements.
Do not place the cover on the ground or dirty surfaces when not in use. Store it in a clean, dry area.
A cover lifter is recommended for spas in rental settings.
IMPORTANT: The installation base must be smooth, flat, level, and capable of uniformly supporting the weight of the spa, water, and users. Damage due to improper support is not covered by warranty.

Indoor Installation

Be aware of special requirements:

Humidity is a natural side effect. Provide ample ventilation. Consult an architect if more ventilation is needed.
Consult local government for installation regulations.
Maintain suitable air treatment (ventilation and dehumidification) for bather safety and comfort.
Do not install on carpet or porous floor materials that promote moisture or bacteria, or that could be affected by water treatment chemicals.
Empty the spa before removing it from the chamber or building.

Outdoor Installation

Water may flow out during filling, draining, or use, so install near a floor drain.

Do not expose the spa's surface to direct sunlight for long periods.
Consult local professional installers for environmental conditions (ground water, frost risk).
Protect the spa from direct sunlight exposure with a cover when not in use.

Set-Up Instruction in Winter

Follow these suggestions to prevent damage and extend product life:

If ambient temperature is below 10°C (50°F), keep the package indoors (above 15°C/59°F) for at least 2 hours before inflation to make the liner more flexible.
Open the package in a room above 15°C (59°F) and inflate using the spa heater.
Position the spa liner, connect the spa heater, and fill with water.
Important: Water temperature used to fill the spa must be above 6°C (42.8°F) to avoid the E03 alarm.
If the Freeze Shield™ system isn't working, alarms will appear. Check spa status if outdoor temperature is below 6°C (42.8°F). For long-term absence, disassemble and store the spa. When reassembling, the automatic warm function will turn on, allowing use when the temperature is lower than 6°C (42.8°F).
