IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
WHEN INSTALLING AND USING THIS ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT,  
BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED,  
INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:  
1. WARNING : To reduce the risk of injury do not permit children to use this product  
unless they are closely supervised at all times.  
2. DANGER! RISK OF ACCIDENTAL DROWNING. Extreme caution must be exercised to  
prevent unauthorized access by children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children  
cannot use a hot tub or spa unless they are supervised at all times.  
3. DANGER: To reduce the risk of injury to persons, Do NOT remove suction fittings.  
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 that  
the flow rates are compatible. Never operate the 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.  
4. Install the spa so proper drainage is provided for the compartment containing the  
electrical components.  
5. DANGER - RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK.  
Placement of the spa shall be at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from all metal surfaces.  
(A spa may be installed within 5 feet of a metal surface if each metal surface is perma-  
nently connected by a minimum No. 8 AWG 8.42mm2 solid copper conductor attached  
to the wire connector on the terminal box that is provided for this purpose). National  
Electrical Code ANSI /NMFP A70-1993.  
6. DANGER-RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK  
Do not permit any electrical appliances, such as a light, telephone, radio, or television  
within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the spa.  
7. Warning: To Reduce The Risk of Injury:  
A.  
The water in a spa should never exceed 40 degrees Celsius (104  
degrees F) .Water temperatures between 38 degrees C (100 E) and 40  
degrees C 104 F) are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water  
temperatures are recommended for extended use (exceeding 10 min-  
utes) and for young children.  
B.  
Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing  
fetal damage during the early months of pregnancy, pregnant or  
possibly pregnant women should limit spa or hot tub temperatures to  
38 degrees C (100 F)

WARNINGS  
Prolonged immersion in water that is warmer than normal body temperature can result  
in a dangerous condition known as HYPOTHERMIA. The causes, symptoms, and effects of  
hypothermia may be described as follows:  
Hypothermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several  
degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6 degrees F. The symptoms of  
hypothermia include dizziness, fainting, drowsiness, lethargy, and an increase in the inter-  
nal temperature of the body. The effects of hypothermia include (1) unawareness of  
impending hazard, (2) failure to perceive heat, (3) failure to recognize the need to exit the  
spa, (4) physical inability, to exit the spa, (5) fetal damage in pregnant women, and (6)  
unconsciousness resulting in a danger of drowning.  
WARNING: The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk  
of fatal hypothermia in hot tubs and spas.  
Persons taking medications which induce drowsiness such as tranquilizers antihista-  
mines or anticoagulants should not use the spa. Pregnant women and persons with a  
medical history of heart disease, circulatory problems, diabetes or high blood pressure  
should consult their physician before using the spa.  
Children are especially sensitive to hot water. At no time should children have unsuper-  
vised access to the spa. The use of elevated decking may encourage children to climb  
onto the thermal cover-IT IS NOT DESIGNED AS A SAFETY OR CHILD RESISTANT COVER!  
Each spa comes with a thermal cover which is provided with locking straps. Install the  
locks for your child’s safety.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS  
Site Selection/Preparation  
The spa must be installed on a structurally strong, solid and reasonably level surface.The  
site should allow for drainage away from the equipment compartment in which the elec-  
trical components are housed. Take into account the following when considering  
prospective sites:  
LOCAL CODES:  
There may be certain restrictions and/or requirements that are particular to your locality.  
DELIVERY PASSAGEWAY:  
Doors, halls, stairs, etc. may pose obstructions to deliver the spa to its intended site.  
MAINTENANCE:  
Trees, lawn, placement surfaces, etc. can create extra work in keeping your spa and spa  
area clean and safe.  
PRIVACY & WIND SHIELDING  
A sheltered environment can result in lower operating and maintenance costs.  
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND INSTALLATION:  
Important: Your spa is wired to meet the requirements of UL, ETL, and the National  
Electrical Code (NEC). Any modifications required to meet state or local codes must be  
performed by a qualified, LICENSED electrical contractor and approved by a local build-  
ing/electrical inspection authority.  
A ground terminal (pressure wire connector) is provided on the control box inside the  
spa to permit connection of a minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4mm) solid copper bonding  
conductor between this point and any metal equipment, metal enclosures or electrical  
equipment, metal water pipe or conduit, within 5 feet (1.5m) of the unit as needed to  
comply with local requirements.  
In-Line Ground Fault Circuit Installation Diagrams  
All wires feeding the spa are to be the same gauge. Ground wires are to be insulated.  
When using a ground rod, the ground wire to the rod should be #6 bare copper wire.  
All 220 Volt spas require the use of an isolated GFCI protected circuit. The installation of  
a disconnect is required no more than ten (10) visual feet from the spa and not less than  
five (5) feet from the spa. This requirement is to assure that the power cannot be  
inadvertently turned back on when the power is disconnected from the spa for any  
reason.

spa and install into the control box.  
Modifications to the electrical  
equipment box are not permitted.  
Drilling holes in the electrical con-  
trol box to provide access for wires  
in areas other than those provided  
for will void the manufacturers war-  
ranty and the independent testing  
agency listing.  
2. The National Electrical Code (NEC)  
requires that the power supply to this  
spa must be a dedicated,ground fault  
circuit (GFCI) protected circuit with no  
other appliances or lights sharing

Getting Started:  
NOTE:  
For best results, read each step carefully and entirely before proceeding to the next.  
FILL YOUR SPA  
Wipe the interior of the spa with a damp, soft cloth to remove any residue that may be  
on the surface. Fill with a garden hose. As the spa is filling check in the equipment access  
area for any leaks. On occasion, it may be necessary to hand tighten a union fitting that  
may have come loose during transit. Also check that the gate valves are pulled out to the  
open position and that the hose bib is closed. Continue to fill to the water level line.  
NOTE: If your water is extremely hard, it is preferable to fill the spa halfway with hard  
water and the rest with softened water.  
NEVER FILL THE SPA ENTIRELY WITH SOFTENED WATER.  
ADD START UP CHEMICALS  
Carefully follow the directions and add the start-up chemicals recommended to you by  
your dealer. Contact your dealer to clarify any questions you may have.

SPA MAINTENANCE  
Your spa is manufactured with the highest quality and most durable materials available.  
A spa care and maintenance program is recommended to increase your comfort, main-  
tain the spa’s reliability and protect your investment.  
1) DRAINING YOUR SPA  
Detergent residues from bathing suits as well as soap film from your body may gradually  
accumulate in the water. Foam inhibitors will suppress the foam but will not remove the  
soap from the water. Eventually, the soap build-up in the water will concentrate enough  
to leave an unclean feeling on the user’s skin, cause sudsing, and make the water impos-  
sible to clarify. Depending on the amount of soap input, the spa water should last  
between two and three months.  
To Drain Your Spa:  
A. Unplug Spa.  
B. Remove cap. Attach a garden hose to the bib that is located directly behind the cap, once  
removed. Route the outlet of the hose to an appropriate draining area. Twist body then pull.  
The spa will empty by gravity. Siphon or scoop out the balance of the water.  
IMPORTANT: Spa water with a high sanitizer level may harm plants and grasses. If you  
are draining your spa for the winter, be sure to fully drain water from the pipes by  
disconnecting the two unions at the gate valves. Drain the water pump by removing  
the pump plug. Then reinstall the valves and pump plug.  
C. Remove the filter and clean as required.  
Drain Body  
D. Inspect the spa shell and clean as required.  
E. Refill the spa BEFORE restoring power to it.  
Drain Cap  
2) WINTERIZING YOUR SPA  
Your spa has been designed and engineered for year-round use in any climate.  
A. If the spa will not be used, drain it completely following the instructions onDRAINING  
THE SPA.”  
B. If you intend to use the spa during the winter, keep the spa warm and set the thermo-  
stat to the temperature you wish to maintain.The spa will automatically come on and  
display “ICE” whenever the water temperature falls to 50º F and will continue to run  
until the water temperature comes up to 60º F. Note that accidental freezing could  
result due to prolonged power failures.

3) FILTER MAINTENANCE  
Maintenance is the most critical factor in keeping your spa water clean.  
To clean the filter:  
NEVER RUN SPA WITHOUT FILTER  
A. Remove the cartridge and spray it with a garden hose. It will be necessary to rotate the  
cartridge while spraying so as to thoroughly remove the debris lodged between  
the filter pleats.  
B. After allowing to dry, inspect the cartridge for calcium deposit (scaling) or an oil film.  
Rapid mineral build-up from hard water, or oil builds up from the use of oil-based  
water scent or body oils that may coat the filter.  
C. Use a rag to remove any debris at the bottom of the filter housing. Replace the  
cartridge.  
D. We recommend the use of a spare filter. This way one can be soaking and cleaning  
while you continue to enjoy the use of your spa.  
4) MARINE VINYL COVER  
Your cover is manufactured from a durable marine grade, U.V. resistant material. Even so,  
monthly cleaning and periodic conditioning is recommended to maintain its beauty.  
To clean and condition the vinyl cover:  
A. Lightly spray the cover with a garden hose to rinse it and remove the debris.  
B. Using a large sponge or soft cloth and a mild soap solution (1 teaspoon dish washing  
liquid with 2 gallons of water), scrub lightly in circular motion. Then rinse it thorough-  
ly with plenty of water.  
C. Condition the vinyl after cleaning by applying a thin film of vinyl conditioner such as  
Armor-All. NOTE: To remove tree saps, use lighter fluid (not charcoal lighter, but the  
kind used in cigarette lighters). Use sparingly and rinse with mild soap solution after-  
wards. Wipe dry.

WATER QUALITY AND  
MAINTENANCE  
GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR WATER QUALITY MAINTENANCE  
Maintaining water quality within specific limits will enhance your enjoyment and prolong the  
life of the spa. Safe, comfortable and clean spa water is a fairly simple task to achieve, but it does  
require regular attention because of the numerous factors that can alter it. There is no one for-  
mula to be followed because of the variables, i.e. quality of the water used to fill the spa, water  
temperature user load, etc.  
Developing a disregard for water maintenance will result in poor soaking conditions, damage  
your spa investment and possibly void your warranty.  
Spa water maintenance consists of three separate easily developed programs :  
1. Sanitizing and maintaining a safe level of sanitizer in the spa water.  
2. Balancing the pH and maintaining the recommended mineral content level.  
3. Achieving and maintaining water clarity.  
SANITIZING  
To destroy bacteria and organic compounds in the spa water, a sanitizer must be used  
regularly. The use of a bromine floater is recommended. By regulating the amount of  
tablets, the amount of time the floater is open, and the length of the filtration cycles,  
you can control the amount of bromine in your spa. A bromine residual of 2 to 3 PPM is  
generally considered desirable. A two-part bromine system or a granular chlorine  
(dichlor) system is also acceptable Sanitizers.  
pH CONTROL  
pH is a measure of acidity and alkalinity of the spa water. The recommended pH for spa  
water is 7.4 to 7.6 ppm. Below 7.0 (considered neutral), the spa water is acidic and can  
cause damage to the heating system. Above 7.8 the water is too alkaline and can result  
in cloudy water and scale formation on the spa shell, heater, and cover.  
IMPORTANT: NEVER USE CHLORINE TABLETS OR LIQUID POOL CHLORINE (TRICHLOR)  
IN YOUR SPA.  
This chemical can have an extremely corrosive effect on certain materials in the spa. Also, the  
use of liquids, chlorine or acid, are not recommended. Damage caused by use of these  
chemicals, or improper use of any chemical, is not covered under the spa warranty.  
OPTIONAL LIGHTNING SERIES WATER PURIFICATION SYSTEM  
If you have elected to equip your spa with the ozone water purification system, you will  
find that your water stays fresh and clean with significantly less usage of chemical sani-  
tizer and you will also be able to go longer between spa draining.

DM Industries, Ltd., warrants all factory installed electrical compo-  
nents– pumps, blowers, and control system – and plumbing compo-  
nents – jets, controllers, and air injectors,– to be free from defects in  
materials and workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the orig-  
inal date of purchase. The plumbing infrastructure, such as glued  
joints, pipes and hoses are also warranted to be free from defects in  
material and workmanship for a period of one (1) year.

DISCLAIMER  
Except as expressly provided, there shall be no other warranty or  
obligation, expressed or implied, oral or statutory. No dealer or other  
person has the authority to make any warranties or representations  
covering DM Industries, Ltd., or its products. DM Industries, Ltd., and  
its representatives shall not be liable for any injury, loss, cost or other  
damage, including but not limited to, loss of use, inconvenience,  
costs of removal of a permanent deck, custom fixture, or any other  
incidental or consequential costs, expenses or damages. Under no  
circumstances shall DM Industries, Ltd., or any of its representatives  
be held liable for injury to any person or damage to any property,  
however arising. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation  
of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or  
exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific  
legal rights. You may also have other rights, which vary, from state to  
state.  
Covers, as supplied by DM Industries, Ltd., are warranted to be free  
from manufacturing defects for a period of one (1) year.  
Dealer added options are excluded from this warranty and are cov-  
ered under separate warranties from their respective manufacturers.  
WARRANTY PERFORMANCE  
In the event of a defect covered by this warranty, notify your DM  
Industries, Ltd., dealer within 10 days of the time the defect is  
discovered. Proof of purchase is required. There is no infield service  
warranty. Components such as equipment pump or control center  
should be taken or delivered to closest service center. There will be  
no charge for service to repair or replacement components within the  
first 90 days of purchase. After 90 days, you will be accessed a  
minimum service charge of $65.00. Plumbing repairs (leaks) may be  
done in-field (at the option of servicing dealer/center). DM Industries,  
Ltd., at its sole option, may elect to substitute a spa or component of  
equal value, either new or reconditioned, to correct a defect. Such  
replacement shall assume, as its warranty, the remaining portion of  
the warranty on the original product. If the entire spa needs to be sub-  
stituted because the repair is not feasible or the repair can not be per-  
formed in the field, reasonable costs to pick up the defective spa and  
return it or delivering and installing the replacement spa will be the  
responsibility of the spa owner.
