Important Safety Instructions
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
1
Read This First!
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to
use this product unless they are closely supervised
at all times.
DANGER -- Risk of accidental drowning:
Do not allow children to be in or around a spa unless
a responsible adult supervises them. Keep the spa
cover on and locked when not in use. See instructions
enclosed with your cover for locking procedures.
DANGER -- Risk of electric shock:
Install the spa at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) from all
metal surfaces. As an alternative, a spa may be installed within 5 feet of metal surfaces if each metal
surface is permanently bonded by a minimum #8
AWG solid copper conductor to the outside of the
spa’s control box.
WARNING -- To reduce the risk of injury:
The spa water 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 spa use exceeds 10 minutes.
DANGER -- Risk of injury:
The suction ttings in this spa are sized to match
the speci c water ow created by the pump. Should
the need arise to replace the suction ttings, or the
pump, be sure the ow rates are compatible.
Never operate the spa if the suction tting or lter
baskets are broken or missing. Never replace a suc-
tion tting with one that is rated less than the ow
rate marked on the original suction tting.
DANGER -- Risk of electric shock:
Do not permit any external electrical appliances,
such as lights, telephones, radios, televisions, and
etc., within ve feet (1.5 meters) of the spa. Never
attempt to operate any electrical device from inside
the spa.
The use of alcohol, drugs or medication before or
during spa use may lead to unconsciousness, with
the possibility of drowning.
Persons suffering from obesity, a medical history of
heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory
system problems or diabetes should consult a physician before using the spa.
High water temperatures have a high potential for
causing fetal damage during pregnancy. Women who
are pregnant, or who think they are pregnant, should
always check with their physician prior to spa usage.
HYPERTHERMIA DANGER:
Prolonged exposure to hot air or water can induce
hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the inter-
nal temperature of the body reaches a level 3˚F to
6˚F above the normal body temperature of 98.6˚F
(or 2˚C to 4˚C above 37˚C). While hyperthermia
has many health bene ts, it is important not to allow
your body’s core temperature to rise above 103˚F
(39.5˚C).
Symptoms of excessive hyperthermia include dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness and fainting. The effects
of excessive hyperthermia may include:

Preparing for Your New Portable Spa
Most cities and counties require permits for exterior construction and electrical circuits. In addition, some
communities have codes requiring residential barriers such as fencing and/or self-closing gates on property to
prevent unsupervised access to the property by children. Your dealer can provide information on which permits
may be required and how to obtain them prior to the delivery of your spa.
Planning the Best Location
Safety First
Do not place your spa within 10 feet (3 m) of overhead power lines.
Consider How You Will Use Your Spa
How you intend to use your spa will help you determine where you should position it. For example,
will you use your spa for recreational or therapeutic
purposes? If your spa is mainly used for family recreation, be sure to leave plenty of room around it for
activity. If you will use it for relaxation and therapy,
you will probably want to create a speci c mood
around it.
Plan for Your Environment
If you live in a region where it snows in the winter or
rains frequently, place the spa near a house entry. By
doing this, you will have a place to change clothes
and not be uncomfortable.
Consider Your Privacy
In a cold-weather climate, bare trees won’t provide
much privacy. Think of your spa’s surroundings during all seasons to determine your best privacy options. Consider the view of your neighbors as well
when you plan the location of your spa.
Provide a View with Your Spa
Think about the direction you will be facing when
sitting in your spa. Do you have a special landscaped
area in your yard that you nd enjoyable? Perhaps
there is an area that catches a soothing breeze during the day or a lovely sunset in the evening.
Keep Your Spa Clean
In planning your spa’s location, consider a location
where the path to and from the house can be kept
clean and free of debris.
Prevent dirt and contaminants from being tracked
into your spa by placing a foot mat at the spa’s entrance where the bathers can clean their feet before
entering your spa.
Allow for Service Access
Many people choose to install a decorative structure
around their spa. If you are installing your spa with
any type of structure on the outside, such as a gazebo, remember to allow access for service. It is always
best to design special installations so that the spa
can still be moved, or lifted off the ground.

Preparing for Your New Portable Spa
Preparing a Good Foundation
Damage caused by inadequate or improper
foundation support is not covered by the warranty.
It is the responsibility of the spa owner to provide a
proper foundation for the spa.
We strongly recommended that you have a quali ed,
licensed contractor prepare the foundation for your
spa.
Coleman Roto Mold Spa (online sales)
LTR50001136, Rev. A
Place the spa on a level concrete slab not less than
3” / 8 cm thick. If you are installing the spa indoors,
pay close attention to the ooring beneath it. Choose
ooring that will not be damaged or stained.
If you are installing your spa on an elevated wood
deck or other structure, consult a structural engineer
or a contractor to ensure the structure will support
the weight of 150 pounds per square foot.

Location of Electrical Cord
This applies to 110V systems.
The electrical cord is located inside the equipment
area and must be removed in order to plug in the
spa.
Remove the access panel for the equipment area and
set it aside. (Access panel removal is described on
page 23 . )
Locate the power cord with the GFCI plug. Inspect
the cord for damage before use.
Route the GFCI plug through the access hole located
in front under the access panel area.
Pull the full length of the power cord (15 feet / 4.6 m)
through the access hole.
Replace the access panel. Do not overtighten the
screws.

240 Volt Electrical Installation
Preparing for Your New Portable Spa
All 240V spas must be permanently connected (hard-
wired) to the power supply. See the wiring diagram
on page 8 .
These instructions describe the only acceptable electrical wiring procedure. Spas wired
in any other way will void your warranty and
may result in serious injury.
When installed in the United States, the electrical
wiring of this spa must meet the requirements of
National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-2008 and any
applicable local, state, and federal codes.
The electrical circuit must be installed by an
electrical contractor and approved by a local
building or electrical inspector.
Failure to comply with state and local codes
may result in re or personal injury and will
be the sole responsibility of the spa owner.
The power supplied to the spa must be on a dedicated GFCI protected circuit as required by ANSI/
NFPA 70 with no other appliances or lights sharing
the power.
Use copper wire with THHN insulation. Do not use
aluminum wire.
Use the table below to determine your GFCI and wiring requirements.
When NEC requires the use of wires larger than #6
AWG, install a junction box near the spa and use #6
AWG wire between the junction box and the spa.
Wire runs over 85 feet must increase wire gauge to
the next lower number. For example: A normal 50
amp GFCI with four #8 AWG Copper wires run over
85 feet would require you to go to four #6 AWG copper wires.
Read and follow the heater manufacturer’s safety
and installation instructions prior to installation and
operation. Incorrect installation may damage the
heater and void its warranty.
Testing the GFCI Breaker
Test the GFCI breaker prior to rst use and periodical-
ly when the spa is powered. To test the GFCI breaker
follow these instructions (spa should be operating):
Press the TEST button on the GFCI. The GFCI will 1.
trip and the spa will shut off.
Reset the GFCI breaker by switching the breaker 2.
to the full OFF position, wait a moment, then
turn the breaker back on. The spa should have
power again.
240V GFCI and Wiring Requirements
The control system is set at the factory to run on the low power setting for 40 amp operation. This is the
default setting. Spa owners can have their installer change this setting so the spa will run on high power for
50 amp operation.
Warning: Never set a spa to run on high power without installing a properly rated GFCI.

Rotating the face of an adjustable jet to the left
(counter-clockwise) will decrease the amount of water ow through the jet. Rotating the face of an adjustable jet to the right (clockwise) will increase the
amount of water ow through the jet. (See example
shown below.)
The neck jets are smaller in size and are not adjustable.

Clear Water Plan
This section is intended for new spa owners with
no experience with water chemistry. Everyone’s experience with maintaining water quality is different,
but there are some general concepts you need to
know.
Water maintenance is not dif cult, although it re-
quires regular attention. The most important thing
to understand about taking care of your spa water is
that preventive action is much easier than correcting
water quality issues.
The Key to Clear Water
Excellent water quality is a simple matter of four things:
Regularity
Clear water requires regular maintenance.
Establish a routine based on a regular
schedule for your spa water maintenance.
Maintaining your water quality helps the en-
joyment of your spa and extends your spa’s
life by preventing damage from neglect and
chemical abuse.
See page 27 for the schedule of recommended maintenance.
Sanitation
Sanitizers kill bacteria and
viruses and keep the water
clean. A low sanitizer level
will allow microbes to grow
quickly in the spa water.
We recommend using either chlorine or bromine as your sanitizer.
Spa owners with an ozonator also need to
add sanitizer, although their requirements
are different.
See page 19 for learn how to use sanitizer.

Maintenance Schedule
Troubleshooting Water Clarity Problems
Cleaning your fi lter regularly is the easiest
and most effective single thing you can do
to keep your water clear.
A clogged or dirty fi lter will cause the heater
and pump to work harder than they need
to, possibly causing them to fail.
The spa’s heating system will only function
with the proper amount
of water fl ow through the
system.
See page 21 for fi lter clean-
ing instructions.
Chemical Balance
You will need to test and
adjust the chemical balance of your spa water. Al-
Depending on your choice of sanitizer, you
need to test the level of calcium hardness,
total alkalinity, and pH. Spa owners with
a Cal Clarity bromine generator also need
to check total dissolved solids and phos-
though this is not diffi cult,
it needs to be done regularly.

Testing and Adjusting Spa Water
You have two types of testing methods to choose from:
The reagent test kit • is a method which provides a high level of accuracy. It is available in either liquid
or tablet form.
Test strips • are a convenient testing method commonly used by spa owners.
Clear Water Plan
Balancing the Total Alkalinity
Total alkalinity (TA) is the measure of the total
levels of carbonates, bicarbonates, hydroxides, and
other alkaline substances in the water. TA can be
considered a “pH buffer”. It is the measure of the
ability of the water to resist changes in pH level.
The recommended total alkalinity is 80 - 120
ppm.
If the TA is too low, the pH level will uctuate wide-
ly from high to low. Low TA can be corrected by
adding an alkalinity increaser
If the TA is too high, the pH level will tend to be too
high and may be difcult to bring down. High TA
can be corrected by adding an alkalinity decreaser.
When the TA is balanced, it normally remains stable, although adding water with high or low alkalinity will raise or lower the TA level.
Balancing the pH
The pH level is the measure of the balance between
acidity and alkalinity.
Balancing the Calcium Hardness
Calcium hardness (CH) is a measure of the total
amount of dissolved calcium in the water. Calcium
helps control the corrosive nature of the spa’s water and is why soft water is not recommended. The
low calcium content of soft water is very corrosive
to the equipment and can cause staining of the spa
shell.
The recommended calcium hardness is 150
- 200 ppm.
If the CH is too low, add a calcium hardness increaser.
If the CH is too high, dilute the spa water with soft
water.
When the CH is balanced, it normally remains stable, although adding soft water or very hard water
will raise or lower the CH level.
If the pH is too low, it can cause corrosion of metal xtures and the heating element. Low pH can be corrected
by adding a pH decreaser.
If the pH is too high, it can cause scaling by allowing metals or minerals to form deposits and stain spa surfaces.
High pH can be corrected by adding a pH increaser

Sanitation
Sanitizers kill bacteria and other organic waste by breaking them down to non-harmful levels and are ltered
out. Before you ll your spa, you need to decide which chemical sanitizer you wish to use. Consult your spa
dealer for the right decision with regards to your lifestyle and spa usage.
We recommend either bromine or chlorine as your sanitizer. Both work well when maintained regularly.
DO NOT use trichlor. Trichlor is very acidic and the hot temperature of the spa causes it to dissolve too quickly. It will cause damage to your spa and will void your warranty.
Whichever plan you decide on, follow it completely and don’t take shortcuts. It will provide you with clean,
safe, clear spa water with a minimum of effort. Spa owners with an ozonator still need to use a chemical
sanitizer. See page 20 for instructions.
19
Clear Water Plan
Using Chlorine as a Sanitizer
If you choose to use chlorine as a sanitizer, only
use granulated chlorine, not liquid chlorine.
Once a week, check the chlorine level using either
a test strip or a reagent kit. See the table on the
following page for the ideal range.
Add one or two tablespoons granulated chlorine to
the spa water weekly. Note that chlorine dissipation rate will be faster at higher water temperatures and slower at lower temperatures.
When you add chlorine, open all of the jets and run
the spa at high speed with the cover open for at
least 30 minutes.
Follow the maintenance schedule on page page
27.
Testing For:Ideal Range
Chlorine level
Without ozonator
Using Bromine as a Sanitizer
Bromine is a very effective sanitizer that produces
low chemical odors. Unlike chlorine, it can break
down bacteria and other impurities to a safe level
with a low burn-out rate.
Bromine is available in both granulated and tablet
form. Use granulated sodium bromide to establish
your bromine base. Use tablets to maintain it.
When you begin with fresh water, add 2 ounces of
granulated bromide. Open all of the jets and run
the spa at high speed with the cover open for at
least 30 minutes. This is your base bromine level as
the tablets will take a while to dissolve.
Place three or four bromine tablets in your chemical
oater.

Clear Water Plan
Shocking the Water
In addition to using a chemical sanitizer, you will periodically need to shock the water. Shocking the water
helps remove burned-out chemicals, bacteria, and other organic material from your spa’s water and improves your sanitizer’s effectiveness.
Do not use chlorinating shock, which will damage your spa’s jets and pump seals. Only use an oxidizer shock.
It can be used with either chlorine or bromine sanitizers.
Add one ounce of oxidizer shock once a week, after heavy bather loads, or if water has a strong odor.
Spa must be running with all of the jets on high for 30 minutes with the cover open. If necessary, repeat
oxidizer shock in 30 minute intervals.
Chemical Safety
Read and follow all printed instructions listed on bottles and packages. Failure to
follow chemical directions may result in serious injury, sickness, or even death.
Do not exceed chemical dosages as recommended
on chemical bottles and packages.
Never change chemical brands or types without com-
pletely draining, ushing and thoroughly cleaning the
spa and cover rst.
Never mix chemicals together.
Do not allow chemicals to come in contact with skin,
eyes or clothing. Remove and wash clothing that may
have been exposed to chemical contact prior to wear-
ing them again.
Inhaling or ingesting chemicals will cause serious injury, sickness, or even death.
Chemicals must be stored completely out of the
reach of children in an area that is well vented, cool,
and dry. Failure to provide a proper area for chemical
storage may result in serious injury, sickness, re explosion and even death. Do not store your chemicals
inside the equipment area of your spa.
Ozonator
The ozone generator releases ozone into the spa water. You will still need to test for chlorine or bromine and
occasionally replenish it to return the sanitizer level to the baseline.
Set the spa’s ltration time for “F4” (described on page 13). This activates the ozonator and produces the
ozone gas. Note: Filtration time may need to be increased with heavy bather load.
Bather Load
“Bather Load” is the term used to describe the number of people using a spa, combined with the length
of usage, and the frequency of usage. All these factors have a great effect on the spa water. The higher
the bather load, the more chemicals need to be add-
ed and a longer ltration time will be needed.
Recommendations are designed for spas with aver-
age bather load (3 to 4 people, 15 minutes of usage,
three times a week at 100 degrees) If your bather
load exceeds these guidelines, and you experience
water quality problems, increase the amount of ltration rst, (go to the next higher ltration number)
then if water quality is still not adequate, consult the
advice of your spa dealer for additional chemical or
system recommendations. Be sure to give them your
bather load information.

Clear Water Plan
The lter is the part of your spa that removes the
debris from the water and needs to be cleaned on a
regular basis to maximize your spa’s ltering performance and heating efciency.
In addition to spraying off the lter weekly to remove
surface debris, your lter should be deep cleaned
periodically to dissolve scale and particles that get
lodged deep within the lter bers and impede the
ltration process. Even if the lter looks clean, scale
and particles can clog the bers and prevent water
from owing through the lter resulting in the most
common spa problem—no heat, caused by a dirty
lter.
We recommend you clean your lter once a month
and replace it once a year or as necessary.
Remove the lter by turning it counterclockwise, 1.
Starting the Spa with Fresh Water
Damage to the spa or spa’s components from improper chemicals or chemical usage is not covered
under the spa’s warranty.
Prior to lling a spa for the rst time, or after a routine draining, you will want to follow this start-up
plan to extend water life and performance.
As with all chemical dosages listed in these Clear
Water Plans, start-up dosages are intended for 500gallon spas. Please adjust the chemical dosages to
the capacity of your particular spa.

Winterizing (Cold Climate Draining)
In many areas of the country, the temperature drops
below 32˚F (0°C). We recommend that you always
have your spa full of water and running at normal spa
temperatures (80˚F to 100˚F, 26.7°C to 37.8°C). This
will help reduce the risk of freezing in your spa and
your spa’s equipment.
Warning: If you nd the need to drain your spa,
please be aware of the potential of freezing in
your spas equipment and plumbing. Even if the
directions below are followed perfectly, there
is no guarantee that your spa will not suffer
freeze damage.
Freeze damage is not covered by your warranty.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Installing Cover Latches
You will need a drill with a 3/32” drill bit and a Phillips screwdriver.
Your cover will have four clips attached to the ends of the four latches, two on each end of the spa cover.
There will also be a small bag with 12 screws.
Place the cover on the spa with the latches placed 1.
where you want to mount them on the spa.
Open all lter covers.1.
Remove the lter baskets and lters.2.
Drain your spa completely as described in the in-3.
structions above.
Remove drain plugs from the front of the 4.
pumps.
Disconnect the unions from both sides of the 5.
pump.
Use a wet/dry vacuum to blow any remaining 6.
water out of the jets and equipment area.
Cover your spa with a good spa cover and an allweather tarp to ensure that neither rain nor snow
enters the spa.
Using the latch clips as a guide, drill three 2.
holes for the mounting screws.
Insert three screws in the latch clip and fasten it to the spa shell. 3.
Make sure they are snug, but do not overtighten them. Do the
same for the remaining latches. Drill and attach latch clips to the
shell one at a time.
When you have nished inserting 4.
all of the screws, use the latch
key to unlock the cover latches.

Covering Your Spa
Important! Keep the spa covered when not in use!
Covered spas will use less electricity in maintaining your set temperature.•
Covering your spa will protect your spa’s nish from the sun’s ultraviolet rays.•
You are required to keep the spa covered to maintain warranty coverage.•
Covering your spa helps prevent children from drowning in the spa.•
See the manual enclosed with your cover for instructions on mounting the locks and how to lock and unlock
the cover.
In addition, while the spa cover is rigid, it is not designed to support any weight. Therefore, as a safety
precaution and to preserve the life of your cover, you must not sit, stand, or lie on it, nor should you place
objects of any kind on top of it.
Cleaning and Replacing the Filter
Filtration is one of the most important steps you can take to ensure clean, clear water. It is far less expensive
to x water clarity problems by ltering your spa than by using excessive amounts of chemicals, excessive
ltration times, or by water replacement.
25
Cleaning and Maintenance
In addition, you need to regularly clean out the lter basket mounted on top of the lter well.
See the section “Filter Cleaning” on page 21 for more information on cleaning your lter.

Due to the constant punishment your spa cover receives, you should protect it by applying a vinyl and
leather cleaner as part of your monthly maintenance
plan.
Use a product that is specically designed to protect
spa covers from chemical and ultraviolet light damage without leaving an oily residue behind that is
normally associated with common automotive vinyl
protectants.
Spa Shell
Chemical build-up on the interior of roto mold spas is
normal, and it is much more noticeable with the two
darker toned spas (“Cinnabar“ and “Dark Twilight”)
as Armor All®) on spas. These products are generally oil-based and will cause severe water clarity

low detergent, non-abrasive cleaner, such as Simple
Green®, without damaging its nish.
Each time you drain your spa, before you rell it you
should apply a coat of non-oil based surface pro-
tectant that is specically formulated to protect the
spa’s nish from the chemicals and minerals associ-
ated with normal spa use.

Removing and Tightening the Jets
Part of your periodic maintenance includes retightening the jets. This needs to be done at least every six
months. Although the roto mold shell is durable, the polyethelene material can bend and warp over time. This
may allow some water to leak around the jet ttings. Regularly tightening the jet bodies can prevent this.
DO NOT loosen or remove jets bodies! Loosening them may cause them to separate from the
recepticle inside the spa cabinet and cause a signicant leak.
