Concrete Pad. The Swim Spa, must be fully supported over the entire base. A typical installation
on soil that will support 1,000 psi load, is a 5 inch (13cm) thick concrete with #4 rebar on 18 inch
(46cm) centers. Condition at the site will determine the exact support requirements. Please
contact your local contractor for adequate installation. Damages caused by inadequate support
will not be covered by the warranty. (Please see page 11 of this manual)
Excess water. Normal use if the swim spa causes large amounts of water to splash out of
the unit. Depending on the specific installation, additional provisions may have to be made for
proper removal of this water.
Clearance Access: In order to better service your product, clearance for access to swim
spa must be 38 inches (92cm) at equipment compartment and 24 inches (61cm) around the
remaining area. (Please see page 11 of this manual)
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
Installation and use if this equipment requires the user to always follow safety precautions
including:
Risk of Accidental Drowning. Exercise extreme caution to prevent unsupervised children
going near the swim spa. Children should not use the swim spa without adult supervision.

that the flow rates are compatible. Never operate the swim spa if the suction fittings are broken
or missing. Never replace a suction fitting with one rated less than the flow rate marked on the
original suction fitting.
Risk of Electric Shock. Install at least 5 feet (1.5m), from all metal surfaces. As an alternative,
the swim spa may be installed within feet of metal surfaces if each metal surface is permanently
connected by a minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4mm

) solid copper conductor attached to the wire
connector on the groundlug, inside the equipment compartment on the equipment can.

breaker to open all ungrounded supply conductors to comply with section of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1993. The disconnect must be readily accessible and visible to
the swim spa occupant but installed at least 5 feet (1.5 m), from the swim spa water.
Risk of Electrical shock. Do not attempt to remove the light housing cover without lowering
the water level below the light housing cover.
