Important Safety Instructions
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
1 DANGER: Risk of Injury. The suction fitting in this hot tub is sized to match the specific
water flow created by the pump. Should the need arise to replace the suction fitting or the pump, be sure that the flow rates are compatible. Never operate the hot tub if the suction fitting is broken or missing. Never replace a suction fitting with one rated less than the flow rate marked on the original suction fitting. (Refer to Page 25)
2 ELECTRICAL SUPPLY (if connecting to 240VAC): The electrical supply for this product must include a suitable rated switch or circuit breaker to open all ungrounded supply conductors to comply with section 422-20 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI / NFPA 70. The disconnect must be readily accessible and visible to the hot tub occupant but installed at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from the hot tub water.
3 WARNING: To Reduce Risk of Injury: a) The water in a hot tub should never exceed 104° F (40°C). Water temperatures
between 100° F (38° C) and 104° F (40° C) are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended for young children and when hot tub use exceeds 10 minutes. b) Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during the early months of pregnancy, pregnant or possible pregnant women should limit hot tub water temperatures to 100° F (38° C). If pregnant, please consult your physician before using a hot tub. c) Before entering the hot tub, the user should measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of water temperature-regulating devices may vary as much as +/-5° F (2° C) d) Persons suffering from obesity or a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems or diabetes should consult a physician before using a hot tub.

CAUTIONS
1. Observe a reasonable time limit when using the hot tub. Long exposures at higher temperatures can cause high body temperature. Symptoms may include dizziness, nausea, fainting, drowsiness, and reduced awareness. These effects could result in possible drowning.
2. Always test the hot tub water temperature before entering the hot tub. Enter and exit the hot tub slowly. Wet surfaces can be very slippery.
3. Proper chemical maintenance of hot tub water is necessary to maintain safe water and prevent possible damage to hot tub components.
4. For exercise, the water should not exceed 90° F (32° C).
5. Use the straps and clip tie downs to secure the cover when not in use. This will help
discourage unsupervised children from entering the hot tub and keep the hot tub cover secure in high-wind conditions. There is no representation that the cover, clip tie-downs,
or actual locks will prevent access to the hot tub.

Set Up & Delivery Guidelines
Getting ready for delivery and setup of your new TubLicious Hot Tub
Before you begin to enjoy your TubLicious Hot Tub please read the following instructions thoroughly. Your TubLicious Hot Tub is light weight and portable making it easy to enjoy almost anywhere you want! Your deck, boat dock, beside your RV or even in your home. Just make sure that it is above ground on a level surface and that the equipment compartment is easily accessible.
While most hot tubs require a level concrete pad to sit on your TubLicious Hot Tub does not. If you are considering placing your hot tub on a raised deck or indoors we recommend you consult with a licensed contractor to confirm the area will hold a TubLicious Hot Tub that is filled with water.
NOTE: If you install your TubLicious Hot Tub indoors make sure that the surrounding area is waterproof or water resistant. During normal usage water may be splashed out of the hot tub. CSMI is not responsible for any water or humidity damage to any indoor location for any reason.

LOCATION OF YOUR NEW HOT TUB: Some points to consider
How close is the hot tub from the exit or entrance to your house? (Consider the cold
weather)
Is the path to the hot tub clean of debris, sand, grass and clippings? (So as not to track
into hot tub)
Is there protection from wind, inclement weather? Can neighbors or passersby see the hot tub? If your hot tub is to be placed near where sprinklers may hit the skirt, shell or
equipment, please adjust or cap them to prevent prolonged water exposure.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS: TUBLICIOUS USES A 120 VOLT ELECTRIC SPA PACK
IMPORTANT: About the GFCI Circuit Interrupter - The GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter)
is an electrical safety switch that automatically shuts off power to the hot tub in case of an electrical malfunction. The GFCI should be OFF before TubLicious is filled. Manually turn off power to the hot tub any time by using the GFCI. Push the switch to the OFF position. After turning off the GFCI check to see that the topside control panel window is blank to confirm the power is off. When you want to turn the power back on reset the GFCI by returning the switch to the ON position. Do not use your TubLicious Hot Tub until you understand the operation of the GFCI.
The GFCI is in the 120V cord. The cord comes out from the rear right side of the spa. The out­let that you connect the TubLicious to must be rated at 120 volts and 15 amperes. (Refer to Page 23)
NOTE: You may convert your TubLicious to 220V. If converted you must install a 40 amp GFCI breaker. This must be done by a Licensed Electrician. Minimum wire size is #8. All connections must conform to local electrical codes. Power connections, and control jumper settings are contained in the wiring diagram inside the control box cover.
Start Up Instructions
FILLING YOUR TUBLICIOUS HOT TUB
Your new hot tub has left the factory cleaned and polished. You may have to clean out
any dirt that has accumulated during shipping. Use warm water and a sponge or cloth.
Be sure that all fittings are connected, secure and hand tightened in the equipment area (Refer to picture on Page 24). Your TubLicious hot tub is shipped with fittings disconnected to ensure no damage or freezing occurs during the hot tub’s route from our factory to your home.
Fill your TubLicious hot tub with your garden hose. Place the hose inside the skimmer/ filter canister and secure the hose in place. Filling through the filter helps to allow most of the trapped air in the pumps and heater to be eliminated. (Refer to Page 23)
Note: TubLicious recommends that you do not fill your hot tub with hot water. Excessively hot water (over 107°F) may cause damage to components in the spa pack as well as all plastic and acrylic components.
Also: Do not fill your hot tub with water from a water softener. If your water is extremely hard your TubLicious dealer can help you to remedy this problem.
Continue filling the hot tub to half (3/4) way up the skimmer opening. Remove the hose and close the filter canister. (See Filter Maintenance Section)
CONTROL PANEL
Please read the CONTROL PANELS Card (See pages 14-15) pertaining to the hot tub topside control and control box supplied with your unit. This must be done before starting up your hot tub to prevent any damage to the unit.
INITIAL START-UP OF PUMP
Turn power off at the breaker.
Ensure all union fittings are tightened (Refer to Page 24) Turn power on at GFCI, mounted in cord. Turn on pump. If circulation is not visible, turn off pump #1, open bleeder valve on top of pump and allow air to escape until wa­ter comes out steadily. Re-tighten bleeder valve (finger tight only). Note: Bleeder valve only needs to be loosened and not completely removed (Refer to Page 24). If there is still no circulation, gently loosen the pump union until only water is present and no air.
Allow pump to circulate for 2-3 minutes before activating heater.
WARNING: RUNNING THE PUMPS WITH NO WATER CIRCULATING IN HOT TUB, COULD DAMAGE THE PUMPS AND PUMP SEALS
7
Filter Maintenance
Filtration starts as soon as flow is steady through the filter. As the filter cartridge removes the dirt from the hot tub water, the accumulated dirt causes flow resistance.
CLEANING AND REPLACING FILTER CARTRIDGE
Your hot tub has been designed for quick and easy maintenance. The filter cartridge should be rinsed by hose once a week and cleaned with a cartridge cleaner once a month. A second filter cartridge is recommended and will speed up the process. This can be purchased from your TubLicious dealer.
FRONT ACCESS SKIMMER / FILTER
Turn power OFF at the GFCI mounted in the cord.
Pull open skimmer weir door.
Reach in and remove skimmer basket.
Pull straight up and out to remove basket. Clean out debris and reinstall.
Remove diverter plate.
Remove filter cartridge.
Clean with a garden hose and high­ pressure nozzle. Periodically you may need to soak your filter in a cartridge filter cleaner to remove excess minerals and or oils. You can purchase this cleaner from your TubLicious dealer.
Rinse filter thoroughly before installing.
Reverse this procedure to re-install the filter cartridges.
Put pump #1 on low speed. This will help pull the cartridges into place.
8
Draining and Winterizing your Hot Tub
DRAINING YOUR TUBLICIOUS HOT TUB
After a period of 3-4 months, detergent residues from bathing suits and soap film will build up in your hot tub water. Once this happens, your hot tub water will appear cloudy and should probably be replaced.
Turn power OFF at the GFCI breaker mounted in the cord.
Locate the spa drain on the rear left side of the spa and attach garden hose Refer to Page 23).
Remove the safety cap and attach garden hose. Pull outward on the garden hose. This
will open the drain valve fully.
Drain water to a convenient area. (Hot Tub water may harm grass or plants if sanitizer levels are high).
Your TubLicious will drain except for a small portion left in the foot well. This can be removed with a sponge and a pail.
