You MUST make sure your pump timer is disengaged to allow it to run until desired temperature

Settingisreached.

Your heater will ONLY heat your Spa/Pool when there is water running through it and ONLY when

yourSpa/Poolpumpisworking,ifyourSpa/PoolpumpisnotrunningyourSpa/Poolheaterwillnot

turnon.

burn out, when the unit senses water flow it will automatically activate (GREEN LED will turn on).

When you initially start to heat your pool, you must run your pool pump without the timer. In order

to reach your initial desire pool temperature you will need to run the pool heater for the required

time.

7.IMPORTANTSAFETYINFORMATION

READANDFOLLOWALLINSTRUCTIONS.1.

The water in a spa or pool should never exceed 104°F (40°C). A water temperature

in excess of 104°F is considered unsafe for all persons. Lower water temperatures

arerecommendedforextendeduse(exceeding10-15minutes)andforyoungchildren.

3. 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poolwatertemperaturesto100(38 ).°C

4. Beforeenteringaspaorpooltheusedshouldmeasurethewatertemperature

atseverallocationsusinganaccuratethermometersincethetoleranceofwater

temperature-regulatingdevicesmayvaryasmuchasmuchas+/-5F(3 )°C

5. Alcohol,drugsormedicationshouldnotbeusedbeforeorduringspaorpooluse

sincetheirusemayleadtounconsciousnesswiththepossibilityofdrowning.

6. Personssufferingfromobesiityorwithamedicalhistoryofheatdisease,loworhighbloodpressure,

circulatorysystemproblems,ordiabetes shouldconsultaphysicianbeforeusingaspaorpool.

7. Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a spa or pool since some medication

may induce drowsiness while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure and circulation.

Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal

temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above normal body temperature of 98.6 F.

The symptons include dizziness, fainting, drowsiness, lethargy and an increase in the internal

temperature of the body. The effects of hyperthermia include: Unawareness of impending hazard,

failure to perceive heat , failure to recognize the need to exit spa or pool, physical inability to exit

spaorpool,fetaldamageinpregnantwomenandUnconsciousnessresultinginadangerofdrowning.
