returned to the client.

should you require it. Please note that the spa is a part of the
pool and is not a hot tub. In occasional severe winter conditions
is it possible that the pool heater may not be able to maintain
the water at a temperature of 80 degrees - this does NOT
constitute a malfunction. Any issues with the pool heating
can be directed to our local management company whilst you
