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. (37° C.). The symptoms of hyperthermia include: drowsiness,
lethargy, dizziness, fainting, and an increase in the internal temperature of the body.
The effects of hyperthermia include: 1) Unawareness of impending danger. 2) Failure
to perceive heat. 3) Failure to recognize the need to leave the spa. 4) Physical inability
to exit the spa. 5) Fetal damage in pregnant women. 6) Unconsciousness resulting in
danger of drowning.

This pump is for use with permanently installed pools and may also be used with hot tubs
and spas if so marked. Do not use with storable pools. A permanently installed pool is
constructed in or on the ground or in a building such that it cannot be readily disassembled
for storage. A storable pool is constructed so that it may be readily disassembled for
storage and reassembled to its original integrity and has a maximum dimension of 18
feet (5.49 m) and a maximum wall height of 42 inches (1.07 m).
For hot tubs and spa pumps, do not install within an outer enclosure or beneath the skirt
of a hot tub or spa unless so marked.
IntelliFlo is capable of generating systems pressures up to 3,5 bar. Installers must ensure
that all system components are rated to withstand at least 3,5 bar. Over pressurizing
the system can result in catastrophic component failure or property damage.
