INSTALLATION

SET-UP INSTRUCTION IN WINTER

It is important to follow these suggestions if you are setting up the spa during the winter period. This will prevent damage to the PVC material and extend the life of your product drastically.

• If the ambient temperature is below 10°C(50°F), we suggest keeping the package indoor where the temperature is above 15°C(59°F) for at least 2h before inflation. This will make the spa liner more flexible and easier to set up.
  
• Open the package in the same room where the temperature is above 15°C(59°F), and inflate the spa using the spa heater.
• Position the spa liner outdoor in the desired position, connect the spa heater and fill with water.
  
  The water temperature used to fill the spa must be above 6°C(42.8°F), otherwise when you begin to operate with the spa heater, the E03 alarm will appear.

If the Freeze Shield™ system isn't working, alarms will pop up on the spa. Be sure to check the status of your spa if the outdoor temperature is below 6°C(42.8°F). In case of a long-term absence from home when there is a risk of temperatures falling below 6°C(42.8°F), we strongly suggest disassembling the spa and storing it following the storage procedure. When you assemble the spa, the automatic warm function will turn on. In this condition, the spa can be used when the temperature is lower than 6°C(42.8°F).

PRCD Test

NOTE: Drawings for illustration purpose only. May not reflect actual product. Not to scale.

1. Insert the plug.
2. Press the "RESET" button, the indicator light turns on.
3. Press the "TEST" button, the indicator light turns off.
4. Press the "RESET" button, the indicator light turns on.
5. Press the "On/Off" button for 2 seconds, your pump is ready to use.

Before inserting plug into a power outlet, make sure the current rate of the power outlet is suitable for the pump.

Using an extension lead or multi plug adaptor with the spa heater can cause the plug to overheat, causing damage to the equipment and surrounding items. The spa is a class I electrical appliance and must be connected directly to a grounded socket. It is recommended to only use a socket which is resistant to humidity and capable of high power loading. Regularly check the plug and socket for signs of damage before using the spa – do not use the spa if the plug or socket is damaged. If you are unsure about the quality of the electrical supply, please consult a qualified electrician before use.

The PRCD plug must be tested before each use to avoid risk of electric shock.

Do not use the pump if this test fails. For assistance, please visit the support section on our website, www.bestwaycorp.com.

SPA PUMP EQUIPOTENTIAL BONDING TERMINAL

It is recommended to arrange for a qualified electrician to connect the spa pump to an equipotential bonding terminal using a minimum 2.5mm² solid copper conductor.

When inflating, you will notice that air will be expelled from the area where the air hose connects to the pump, this is normal for technique requirements.

Don't cover the holes on the base of the inflation hose. This operation will over inflate the liner and damage the structure.

Do not use an air compressor to inflate the pool.

Do not drag the pool on rough ground as this may cause damage to the pool liner. Inflation time for reference only.

MAINTENANCE

You must ensure the pump is unplugged before beginning spa maintenance to avoid risk of injury or death.

Adding Air

Your spa will require additional air to be added from time to time. Changes in temperature from day to night will change the pressure in the spa and may cause a certain amount of deflation. Please follow the assembly instructions and inflate to the accurate pressure needed.

When you need to use the pump for inflation, please block the hoses to prevent water from escaping, then disconnect the pump, screw on the cap (P00217) to avoid water coming out from the air pipe.

Cover Maintenance

The cover shall be cleaned inside and out periodically using a suitable solution that includes adequate disinfection (e.g. 10 mg/l of Free Chlorine).

Filter Cartridge Maintenance

To ensure your spa water stays clean, check and clean your filter cartridges every day follow the steps below.

NOTE: We recommend changing your filter cartridges every week or, if the filter cartridges remain soiled and discolored, they should be replaced.

Water Maintenance

Many pollutants in the water settle on surfaces below the water line. These pollutants can cause bacterial, algal or fungal growth. It is recommended that spas are cleaned as regularly as necessary. After a time, tenacious stains or biofilms may develop on the accessible surfaces below the water line or high concentrations of salts or unwanted reaction by-products may also occur. Depending on hygienic condition, cleanliness, visibility, odour, debris and stains, it is recommended to change the water completely and clean/disinfect the spa. When emptying the spa, the regulations and the instructions for draining the water shall be observed. Keeping your spa water clean and chemically balanced is necessary. Simply cleaning the filter cartridge is not enough for proper maintenance, we recommend you use pool chemicals to maintain water chemistry and chlorine or bromine tablets (do not use granules) with the chemical dispenser. Water quality will be directly related to frequency of use, number of users and overall maintenance of the spa. The water should be changed every 3 days if there is no chemical treatment being performed with the water.
It is highly recommended to use tap water for spa filling to minimize the influence of unwanted content, such as minerals. Barefoot areas and relaxing areas shall be cleaned as well. No cleaning water may flow into the spa or spa water cycle. The dirt and cleaning agents shall be rinsed carefully to drain in the spa surround.

Note: We recommend you take a shower before using your Lay-Z-Spa, as cosmetic products, lotions, and other residues on the skin can quickly degrade water quality. To use the chemical dispenser, please follow the below instruction.

Using chemical tablets (not included):

Don't use granulate tablet or throw the tablet directly in the water, the chemical will deposit on the bottom and damage the material and discolored the PVC.

Using chemical liquid (not included):

Add chemical liquid in small doses and in the center of the pool avoid directly contact of the chemical with the spa surface, the direct contact of chemical with spa material will damage the material and discolored the surface.

NOTE: Remove the chemical dispenser from spa when the spa is in use.

After performing chemical maintenance and before using the spa, use a test kit (not included) to test the water chemistry. We recommend maintaining your water as below table.

NOTE: Damage resulting from chemical imbalance is not covered by the warranty. Pool chemicals are potentially toxic and should be handled with care. There are serious health risks from chemical vapors and the incorrect labeling and storage of chemical containers. Please consult your local pool supply retailer for more information about chemical maintenance. Pay close attention to the chemical manufacturer's instructions. spa damage resulting from misuse of chemicals and mismanagement of spa water is not covered by the warranty.

Over usage of chemical will discolored the printing and all points of the spa material, in worse case damage the structure of the spa liner.

DISASSEMBLY AND STORAGE

DRAINING THE SPA

Make sure the spa and pump are completely dry. This is essential to extend the life of the spa. We recommend using the pump to blow dry the spa, pump and pipes. Remove the filter sets and discard the used filter cartridges. Re-attach the two stopper caps onto the spa's inlet and outlet valves. It is recommended you store the spa in its original package in a warm [above 15°C (59°F)] and dry place.

• RISK OF INJURY. Never operate spa if inlet / outlet pipes are broken or missing. Never attempt to replace the inlet / outlet pipes. Always consult your local Aftersales centre.
• RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Install at least 2m from all metal surfaces.
• RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Never operate any electrical appliance when in your spa or when your body is wet. Never place any electric appliance, such as a light, telephone, radio, or television, within 2m of spa.
• Consider that the comfortable temperature range during use may be lower than the maximum safe temperature.
• 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:
  1. The water in a spa should never exceed 40°C (104°F). Water temperature between 38°C (100°F) and 40°C (104°F) is considered safe and comfortable for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended for young children and when spa use exceeds 10 minutes.
  2. 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 water temperature to 38°C (100°F).
  3. Before entering a spa, the user should measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of water temperature regulating device varies.
  4. The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa use may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
  5. Obese persons and persons with a history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes should consult a physician before using a spa.
  6. Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a spa since some medication may induce drowsiness while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.
  7. Avoid putting the head under water at all times.
  8. Avoid swallowing spa water.
• TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY: Never pour water with a temperature higher than 40°C (104°F) into the spa pool directly.
• The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level that is several degrees above the normal body temperature of 37°C (98.6°F). The symptoms of hyperthermia include an increase in the internal temperature of the body, dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness, and fainting. The effects of hyperthermia include failure to perceive heat; failure to recognize the need to exit spa or hot tub; unawareness of impending hazard; fetal damage in pregnant women; physical inability to exit the spa or hot tub; and unconsciousness resulting in the danger of drowning.
• Electric installations should follow national wiring rules, consult a qualified electrician with any questions.
• These warnings, instructions, and safety guidelines address some common risks of water recreation, but they cannot cover all risks and dangers in all cases. Always use caution, common sense, and good judgment when enjoying any water activity. Retain this information for future use. In addition, the following information can be supplied depending on the spa type:
  Non Swimmers safety
  • Continuous, active, and vigilant supervision of weak swimmers and non-swimmers especially in exercise spas, by a competent adult is required at all times (remembering that children under five years of age are at the highest risk of drowning).
  • Designate a competent adult to supervise the spa each time it is being used.
  • Weak swimmers or non-swimmers should wear personal protection equipment, especially when using the exercise spa.
  • When the spa is not in use, or unsupervised, remove all toys from the spa and its surrounding area to avoid attracting children to the spa.
    Safety devices
  • A safety cover or other safety protection device shall be used, or all doors and windows (where applicable) shall be secured to prevent unauthorized access to the spa.
  • Barriers, covers, alarms, or similar safety devices are helpful aids, but they are not substitutes for continuous and competent adult supervision.
    Safety equipment
  • It is recommended to keep rescue equipment (e.g. a ring buoy) by the spa (if appropriate).
  • Keep a working phone and a list of emergency phone numbers near the spa.
    Safe use of the spa
  • Encourage all users especially children to learn how to swim.
  • Learn Basic Life Support (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation - CPR) and refresh this knowledge regularly. This can make a life-saving difference in the event of an emergency.
  • Instruct all spa users, including children, what to do in case of an emergency.
  • Never dive into any shallow body of water. This can lead to serious injury or death.
  • Do not use the spa when using alcohol or medication that may impair the bather's ability to safely use the spa.
  • When covers are used, remove them completely from the water surface before entering the spa.
  • Protect spa occupants from water related illnesses by advising them to keep water treated and practicing good hygiene. Consult the water treatment guidelines in the user's manual.
  • Store chemicals out of the reach of children.
  • Use the signage provided on the spa or within 2 000 mm of the spa in a prominent visible position.
  • Removable ladders, when removed, shall be stored safely where children cannot climb on it.

CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN FOR RECOMMENDATIONS.

• We strongly recommend not to unfold and inflate the spa if the ambient temperature is below 15°C(59°F). We suggest inflating the spa indoors, and then continuing set up outdoors. If the outdoor temperature is lower than 6°C(42.8°F), the spa heater must always be on. In this mode, the Freeze Shield™ system can keep the internal temperature between 6°C(42.8°F) and 10°C(50°F) to prevent damage, such as water freezing in the pipes or the circulation system.
  
  If the Freeze Shield™ system isn't working, alarms will pop up on the spa. Be sure to check the status of your spa if the outdoor temperature is below 6°C(42.8°F). In case of a long-term absence from home when there is a risk of temperatures falling below 6°C(42.8°F), we strongly suggest disassembling the spa and storing it following the storage procedure.
• Do not use the spa alone.
• People with infectious diseases should not use a spa.
• Do not use the spa immediately following strenuous exercise.
• Always enter and exit the spa slowly and cautiously. Wet surfaces are slippery.
• To avoid damage to the pump, the spa must never be operated unless the spa is filled with water.
• Immediately leave spa if the user feels uncomfortable or sleepy.
• Never add water to chemicals. Always add chemicals to water to avoid strong fumes or violent reactions that may result in hazardous chemical spray.
• Whenever the spa is emptied, the filter should be cleaned (and drained/dried, where applicable).
• Any manual dosing of chemicals shall not be performed while bathers are present in the spa.
• Regarding the information pertaining to cleaning, maintenance of water, and disposal of water, please see section "MAINTENANCE".
• Regarding the information pertaining to the installation, thanks to refer to the below paragraph of the manual.

SELECTED LOCATION

Indoor and outdoor & above ground & portable wiring & portable spa

The selected location has to be able to support of supporting the expected load.

An adequate drainage system has to be provided to deal with overflow water for both indoor and outdoor installations.

• Always keep the spa cover on to minimize heat loss during heating of the spa between uses (but not while it is being used). Ensure the cover is fitted tightly, as per instructions to maximize insulation. It shall be recommended that the cover, when not in use, should be kept off the ground to retain its cleanliness (particularly the surface in close proximity to the water spa water surface). The cover should be stored in an appropriate location, where it cannot be damaged, or cause damage.
• Check the set water temperature and consider lowering it for the times when the spa will typically not be in use.
• Depending on external conditions, consider turning off the heater entirely if not using the spa for an extended period of time (where the spa provides this option, but still maintains residual disinfection/pH-values).
• It is recommended to use an insulating ground cloth underneath the spa to minimize heat loss through the bottom of the spa.
• Maintain clean filters to preserve appropriate working conditions for the pump and avoid unnecessary water replacement and re-heating.
• Keep the spa away from the rest area to minimize noise disturbance.
• Recommended to ask a qualified contractor or a structural engineer to verify if the support material is strong enough to support the maximum design load of the spa, spa water and bathers. Read the filled weight information on the package.
• Please keep at least 1m clearance around the spa.
• Consult your local government authority for water regulations related to convenient water supply for filling the spa.
• Recommended to consult experts and/or local authorities to apply local or national laws/regulations relating to childproof fencing, safety barriers, lighting, and other safety requirements.
• Do not put the cover on the ground or any other dirty surface when not in place on the spa.
• When the spa is being used, the cover should be placed in a clean, dry area, otherwise it can pick up dirt and bacteria. Covers should not be put on wooden tables or wooden decking because of the risk of bleaching the wood. A cover lifter, or similar device, is useful for ensuring that the cover does not come into contact with the ground. A cover lifter is strongly recommended for spas in rental settings.

Because of the combined weight of the Lay-Z-Spa, water, and users, it is extremely important that the base where the Lay-Z-Spa is installed is smooth, flat, level and capable of uniformly supporting the weight for the entire time the Lay-Z-Spa is installed (not on the carpet or other similar material). If the Lay-Z-Spa is placed on a surface, which does not meet these requirements, any damage caused by improper support is not covered under the manufacturer's warranty. It is the responsibility of the Lay-Z-Spa owner to assure the integrity of the site at all times.

1. Indoor Installation:
   Be aware of special requirements if you install the spa indoors.
   • Humidity is a natural side effect with Lay-Z-Spa installation. Determine the effects of airborne moisture on exposed wood, paper, etc. in the proposed location. To minimize these effects it is best to provide plenty of ventilation to the selected area. An architect can help determine if more ventilation is needed.
   • Consult your local government authority for installation regulations.
   • Keep suitable air treatment in the spa chamber (ventilation and dehumidification) regularly to preserve the bathers' safety and comfort.
   • Do not to install the spa on carpet or other floor materials (e.g. untreated cork, timber or other porous materials) that promote or harbour moisture and bacteria, or that could be affected by water treatment chemicals used in the spa.
   • Empty the spa before remove it from the chamber or building.
2. Outdoor Installation:
   • During filling, draining or when in use, water may flow out of the spa. Therefore the Lay-Z-Spa should be installed near a floor drain.
   • Do not leave the spa's surface exposed to direct sunlight for long periods of time.
   • Consult your local professional installers for environmental conditions, such as ground water and risk of frost.
   • Recommended to protecting the spa from direct sunlight exposure by a cover when not in use.
