INSTALLATION

SITE PREPARATION

1. Structure: Your spa should always be installed on a structurally sound, relatively smooth, and level surface.

2. Electrical: Your spa should be connected to a grounded outlet within eight feet of the spa. For 120 V units, there should be easy access to the plug for periodic testing of the cord mounted GFCI.

3. Bonding: A copper wire connector is located inside the spa power pack to permit connection of a minimum No. 8 A.W.G. (No. 6 for Canada) solid copper bonding conductor between any metal equipment, water pipe, or metal enclosures within 5 feet of the spa as required to comply with the National Electric Code, or local requirements.

INDOOR INSTALLATION

Give special consideration to the following issues when installing your spa indoors.

1. Make sure the ﬂ oor can support the total spa ﬁ lled weight of 2113 pounds.

2. Install your spa on water resistant, non-slip ﬂ oor.  e ﬂ oor should have a drain to remove water splashed from the spa. Do not install the spa on carpet or other material that will be damaged by moisture.

3. Take into consideration the room humidity which will exist due to high temperatures. Providing natural or forced ventilation in the room will help maintain comfort and minimize moisture damage to the surrounding environment.

4. Avoid installing the spa indoors on a second story above ﬁ nished living space due to the possibility of water and humidity damage.

5. Allow enough clearance around the spa for full access to the spa equipment for service.

OPERATION

• Test the GFCI before each use. (Refer to the instructions

provided in the Maintenance section of this manual.)

• Plug into properly grounded receptacle.

• Do not use extension cords.

Temperature Control

1. During normal operation, the control display on the top of the power pack displays the current water temperature.

2. To set the desired water temperature, press and release the up or down heat button.  e display will ﬂ ash the desired water temperature set point. To change the set point, press the up or down button once for each degree of water temperature, to a maximum of 104ºF (40ºC).

4.  e spa is made to hold the set temperature. Do not lower the temperature set point after use.  e heater will turn on and oﬀ automatically to maintain the desired temperature.

5. In case of electric power interruption, the spa temperature set point will default to 100ºF when electric power is restored.

Page 18

User’s Guide

Turbo Operation

To turn the turbo wave pump on or oﬀ , push the on/oﬀ button. Look to see if the spa blows bubbles uniformly all the way around the spa. If action seems to fade as bubbles circle the spa and are weak on one side, then the lower air chamber is over-inﬂ ated. Let some air out of the lower chamber to correct this.  e turbo wave pump will automatically shut oﬀ after 15 minutes of operation.

When the turbo wave blower system is activated, the blower pump is pumping outside ambient air into the spa, creating much of the action in the spa. Some cooling of the water will occur as the turbo wave blower operates.  is is normal and the heater will recover lost temperature after use. Remember, at elevated temperatures, 15 minutes soaking time is considered safe.

 e spa power pack contains a ﬁ lter to help keep the water in the spa clean. If the ﬁ lter becomes dirty or clogged, water ﬂ ow through the power pack will be restricted.  is may prevent the spa from heating up. Refer to the Maintenance section of this manual for information on checking and cleaning the ﬁ lter.

Cover

After use, place the cover on the spa. Lock the plastic clips in eight locations on the outside of the spa.

Always leave the cover locked and in place when the spa is not in use. The cover is not a replacement for adult supervision. Always supervise young children in and around water.

NOTE: The cover must be in place for the spa to heat up.

MAINTENANCE

Vinyl Care - Interior

1. While the spa is empty, clean the spa interior with a mild soap solution to remove any soil or stains on the vinyl. Rinse thoroughly before reﬁ lling the spa. Do not use cleaning aids such as steel wool, metal brushes, or abrasive cleansers such as Comet or Ajax.

2. Remove and clean the ﬁ lter twice a month, or more often if necessary.

Vinyl Care - Exterior

Clean the exterior with a mild soap solution then rinse with clean water. Avoid abrasive soaps or tools, or any solvents.

 e exterior of the spa as well as the thermal top is made to resist mildew and discoloration.

Recommended Water Chemistry

Purchase a water test kit from your dealer. Test the water chemistry after each use of the spa, or no less than once a week. Avoid a low pH. Low pH will cause wrinkles to form in the vinyl, may damage the heater, and will void your warranty.  e following are the recommended water chemistry ranges for your spa.

pH .......................................................... 7.4 - 7.6

Total alkalinity ................................ 80 - 120 ppm

Calcium hardness ..........................150 - 250 ppm

Bromine residual ................................... 2 - 3 ppm

Total dissolved solids .................. below 1500 ppm

NOTE: If a bromine feeder is used that requires holes to be

punched in the feeder, start with one hole punched at the top of the feeder and one hole punched at the bottom. Place the feeder in the spa and test the water after two days. If the bromine level has not increased to the ideal 2-3 ppm range, punch another hole in the bottom of the feeder and retest after another two days.

Page 20

User’s Guide

Avoid punching too many holes in the bromine feeder, as

this could cause over bromination. This could bleach the vinyl, and will void your warranty.

If the bromine level in the spa reaches 5 ppm or higher,

remove the bromine feeder from the spa until the bromine level drops to the correct 2-3 ppm range.

Adding Chemicals

1. Always activate the turbo wave blower when adding chemicals to the spa. Add only one chemical at a time.

Failure to properly dissolve or dilute chemicals prior to adding them to the spa may damage the spa vinyl surfaces and will void your warranty.

2. When adding chemicals, dip a few gallons of water from the spa into a ﬁ ve gallon bucket. Dissolve or dilute the chemicals in the bucket. Stir the bucket until the chemicals are fully dissolved or diluted. With the turbo wave blower turned on, slowly pour the bucket into the spa in the stream of the water jets.

3. Do not use gas chlorination, chlorine tablets, ionizers, scents, salts, or soaps without consulting your authorized dealer.

Cleanliness

1. Drain and reﬁ ll the spa every three months, or when the water becomes cloudy and is not cleared by proper water chemistry.

2. Remove and clean your ﬁ lter at least once a week. A dirty ﬁ lter will prevent water ﬂ ow and may prevent the spa from heating.

Vinyl Repairs

If the vinyl is torn or punctured, repair it with the patch kit provided with your spa. A secure, unnoticeable repair can usually be made. Additional vinyl pieces may be obtained through your authorized dealer.

Winterizing and Vacationing

If you are taking a vacation or leaving your spa unused for more than a week, you should take a few simple precautions. Leave the spa covered with the plastic clips locked. Leave the turbo wave pump oﬀ and set the temperature set point low.  is will allow the water pump and heaters to turn on occasionally to ﬁ lter the water and protect it from freezing. Upon returning, and before using the spa, check the bromine and pH levels.

Storing Your Spa

 e spa may be stored in its original box. Make sure all water is drained from the spa and the power pack. We recommend the use of a wet/dry vacuum to blow or suck all the water from the spa ﬁ ttings and the power pack. Care must be taken in cold weather as the vinyl will become stiﬀ and brittle when the temperature falls below 0ºF.

Draining the Spa

A garden hose may be used to siphon the water out of the spa. Place one end of the garden hose into a suitable drain. Turn the turbo wave blower on and hold the other end of the garden hose over the water discharge ﬁ tting inside the spa. When the siphon action starts, place the end of the garden hose on the ﬂ oor of the spa. Turn oﬀ the turbo wave blower and unplug the power pack. Do not lift the spa if it contains more than 1/4” of water.

If the GFCI is working properly and the power pack does not function, then the power pack is bad. If the GFCI is not working properly, do not use the spa. Immediately contact the manufacturer for instructions.

4. In some situations, the numerical temperature display may read ‘OH’ (overheat) and the spa will not heat until reset. To ﬁ x this problem, please use the following procedure:

A. If the spa water is still warm (over 104°F / 40°C), unplug the

power pack and let the water cool to below 104°F / 40°C. (Use a thermometer to verify the temperature.)

B. Plug the power pack back in and press the small reset button directly

below the temperature display.  is will clear the ‘OH’ message and the spa will resume normal operations.

Should this problem occur repeatedly, please call our customer support

for further instructions.

Leaks

1.  e two small connections between the power pack and the spa are leaking: Ensure the garden hose style washer inside each of these ﬁ ttings is still in place and undamaged. If the washers are in place and the connection is still leaking, there may be a small piece of plastic behind the hose washer. Remove the small piece of plastic with a utility knife or needle-nose pliers.

2. Blower connection is leaking: If the large connection between the spa and the power pack is leaking, ensure the o-ring inside the ﬁ tting is in place and undamaged.

3. Plumbing or pressure switch is leaking: Look under the power pack. If water is coming from underneath the power pack, then the plumbing or pressure switch inside the power pack is leaking. Contact the factory for instructions.
