The suction fittings in this spa are sized to match the specific water
flow created by the pump. If it is necessary to replace the suction
fittings or the pump, be sure that the flow rates are compatible.
Never operate or use the spa if the filter, filter lid, or skimmer
•
assembly are broken or any part of the skimmer assembly is
missing. Please contact your dealer or nearest service center for
service.
Never replace a suction fitting with one rated less than the flow
•
rate marked on the original suction fitting. Using improper suction
fittings can create a body or hair suction entrapment hazard that
may lead to drowning or near drowning.
Never use the spa unless all suction guards, filter, filter lid, or
•

entrapment.
Keep hair, loose articles of clothing or hanging jewelry away from
•
