    To reduce the risk of injury :
  • Do not remove any fittings from your spa pool especially the suction grates ( see fittings section ) in your spa. If these grates are removed or damaged, suction through the pumps may cause serious injury. If these grates are removed or damaged do not use your spa and consult your Sapphire Spa dealer for further advice.
  • The water temperature in your spa should never exceed 40 degrees Celsius. Temperatures between 38 & 40 degrees Celsius are considered safe for healthy adults. Lower temperatures are recommended for young children, and when spa use exceeds 10 minutes.
  • Before entering your spa, the user should check the water temperature with an accurate thermometer as the sensing devices in the control system may vary. Test the water with your hand to feel if it is comfortable.
