When installing the spa, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely
supervised at all times by adults.
WARNING: A grounding wire connector is provided on this unit to connect a minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm2)
solid copper conductor between this unit and any metal equipment, metal enclosures of electrical equipment,
metal water pipe or conduit within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the unit.
DANGER: RISK OF ACCIDENTAL DROWNING: Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent unauthorized
access by children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children cannot use this spa unless they are closely
supervised at all times by adults.
DANGER: RISK OF INJURY. The suction ttings in this spa are sized to match the specic water ow created
by the pump. Should the need arise to replace the suction ttings or the pump, be sure to replace with same
model suction ttings for safety and compatible ow rates. Never operate the spa if the suction ttings are
broken or missing. Never replace a suction tting with one rated less than the ow rate marked on the original
suction ttings.
DANGER: RISK OF INJURY. Do not remove suction grate. Suction through drains and skimmers are powerful
when the jets in the spa are in use. Damaged suction grate can be hazardous to children and adults with long

immediately. As a precaution, long hair should NOT be allowed to oat freely in the spa.

The health benets attributable to the spa are both mental and physical. The heat, buoyancy, and massaging
characteristics of the spa work together to produce a euphoric sense of comfort and relaxation.
Stress and Stress-Related Conditions
Sitting in hot water causes endorphins to be released, which melts away the aches and pains. The massaging
characteristics of the strategically placed jets together with the heat of the water alleviates the tension and
allows the body to more effectively cleanse the carbon dioxide in its muscles (CO2 is what gives muscles the
fatigued sensation).
Better Sleep
Soaking in a spa before bedtime not only has the ability to help induce sleep...it can also provide for a deeper,
more relaxed sleep.
Healing
The hydrotherapy associated with spas has the tremendous ability to alleviate the fatigue and soreness that
muscles build up from exercise or just from one’s daily routine. When used properly, the spa has the ability to
lower blood pressure, increase circulation, and speed up the body’s ability to cleanse out toxins.
Arthritis and Chronic Pain
Spending time in a spa is a great way to apply heat to arthritic joints. In fact, getting in the spa for 10-15
minutes in the morning is a great way to ease up the joints when they are generally at their worst.
Diabetes
Please understand that a spa is not a ‘cure-all’ for people with diabetes. Studies have indicated, however, that
sitting in a spa can help improve blood sugar levels, help promote weight loss, and improve sleep patterns in
people suffering from Type 2 diabetes.
Time for Family and Friends
A spa provides access to all the therapeutic benets listed above and more…why not share them with loved
ones?The spa is a perfect place to relax with family members and catch up on what’s on everyone’s mind.
The spa also serves as a nice environment when entertaining friends.

~ First Things First ~
The spa must be installed on a sturdy, at surface that is built to code. Consult a building inspector or a
licensed contractor
When properly installed, the spa base will rest at on the supporting surface. Do not attempt to shim the spa
or place in an otherwise unleveled surface. Failure to place the spa on a level plane will cause the unit to
distort, collapse, or crack. It is your resonsibility to ensure the chosen location is pefectly at and level. Any
such damage caused by improper installation will not be covered under the warranty.
The surface design and material used to support the spa should meet local building regulations and should be
veried before installing the spa.
Additionally, make sure the spa is accessible to service technicians. Leave at least a three feet of open space
for any side of the spa housing a pump.
The spa must be installed on a sturdy, at surface that is built to code.
Choosing where to place the spa requires careful consideration.

~ First Things First ~
Filling the Spa
Please take the following precautionary measures before lling the spa:
1. Make sure the electrical service is shut off at the breaker. Failure to do so may cause damage to the
pump(s) and/or heater, which is not covered under your limited warranty.
2. Remove the cabinet panel directly below the topside controls to access the equipment compartment. Make
sure the pipe unions on either side of the pump(s) are tight.
You are now ready to ll your spa. Please follow the instruction’s below:
1. Place the garden hose down inside the lter housing. On a dual-lter system, use the lter closest to the
topside control panel. Remove the skimmer (and lter basket on certain systems) to access the lter and lter
housing.
2. Feed the garden hose down into the lter housing and turn on the water. **If using well water, use the hose
lter attachment to reduce contaminants and help water’s alkalinity**
3. Fill the spa until the water level is approximately one inch above the highest jet (excluding any small jets the
spa may have that are designed for the neck and/or shoulders).
4. When the spa is lled to the appropriate water level, you may turn power “ON”.
Following these instructions carefully allows the spa to prime the pump(s) properly, preventing possible air
pockets that may result in an air lock. In which case, no water can be pulled through the pump until the pocket
of air is released.
IF you experience an air lock, turn ‘pump 2’ on high. If the spa does not work out the air pockets and prime
properly within 12-24 hours, contact Barefoot Spas customer service.
