for a certain period of time, whether or not it has been left with or without water inside. During
periods of non-use, traces of stagnant water may remain, which may cause the growth of micro
organisms potentially dangerous for health. Therefore, disinfect the Spa as indicated in this manual,
ensuring that the pH and disinfectant parameters are suitable.

DISPLACED WATER AND PREVENT WATER FROM FLOWING OUT OF THE SPA.
