IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
When installing and using this equipment, basic safety precautions should always
be followed, including:
Risk of Accidental Drowning. Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent
unauthorized access by children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children cannot use or
approach the spa unless they are supervised at all times.
Risk of Serious Injury or Death. The suction fittings in this spa are sized to match the
specific water flow created by the pump. Should the need arise to replace the suction
fittings or the pump, be sure that the flow rates are compatible. Never operate the spa if
the suction fittings are broken or missing. Never replace a suction fitting with one rated
less than the flow rate marked on the original suction fitting.
Risk of Electric Shock. Install at least 5 FEET (1.5 m), from all metal surfaces. As an
alternative, a spa may be installed within 5 feet of metal surfaces if each metal surface is
permanently connected by a minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm
attached to the wire connector on the grounding lug, inside the equipment compartment on
the equipment can.
Risk of Electric Shock. Do not permit any electrical appliance, such as a light,
telephone, radio, television, etc. within 5 feet (1.5 m) of a spa. Never operate any
electrical appliances from inside the spa or when you are wet.
The electrical supply for this spa must include a suitably rated switch or circuit breaker to
open all ungrounded supply conductors to comply with section 680-42 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1993. The disconnect must be readily accessible and
visible to the spa occupant but installed at least 5 feet (1.5 m), from the spa water.
A grounding wire connector is provided on this spa to connect a minimum No. 8 AWG
(8.4 mm2) solid copper conductor between this unit and any metal equipment, metal
enclosures of electrical equipment, metal water pipe, or conduit within 5 feet (1.5 m) of
the spa.
Do not attempt to remove the light housing cover without lowering the water level below
the light housing cover.
To Reduce the Risk of Injury: The water in a spa 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.
To Reduce the Risk of Injury: Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential
for causing fetal damage during the early months of pregnancy, pregnant or possibly
pregnant women should limit spa water temperatures to 100° F (38° C).
To Reduce the Risk of Injury: Before entering a spa, the user should measure the water
temperature with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of water temperatureregulating devices may vary as much as +/- 5° F (2° C).
To Reduce the Risk of Injury: The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during
spa use may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
To Reduce the Risk of Injury: Pregnant women, the elderly, infants, or persons
suffering from obesity or with a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood
pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes, should consult a physician before
using a spa. Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should not enter water warmer than
100° F (38° C).

To Reduce the Risk of Injury: Persons using medication should consult a physician
before using a spa since some medication may induce drowsiness, while other medication
may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.
Observe a reasonable time limit when using the spa. Long exposures at high temperatures
can cause high body temperature. Symptoms may include dizziness, nausea, fainting,
drowsiness, and reduced awareness. These effects could result in possible drowning.
Enter and exit the spa slowly. Wet surfaces can be very slippery.
Proper chemical maintenance of spa water is necessary to maintain safe water and
prevent possible damage to spa components.
Use the spa straps and clip tie downs to secure the cover when not in use. This will help
to discourage unsupervised children from entering the spa and keep the spa cover secure
in high wind conditions. There is no guarantee that the cover, clip tie downs, actual locks
will prevent access to the spa.

Initial Startup
IMPORTANT: About your GFCI Circuit Breaker — The GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter — also called a "circuit breaker") is an electrical safety switch that automatically
shuts off power to the spa in case of an electrical malfunction. There must have a GFCI installed
according to local building codes in an electrical power box near your spa. The GFCI should be
OFF before the spa is filled. Manually turn off power to the spa any time by using the GFCI.
Just push the switch to the OFF position. After turning off the GFCI, make sure the control
panel display window is blank, to know the power is off. When the power is ready to turn back
on, reset the GFCI by returning the switch to the ON position.
If there are any questions about the location or operation of the GFCI, ask your dealer to explain
it to you. Do not use the spa unless you understand the operation of the GFCI.
1. Locate the Control Panel (see
photo at right). Below the control panel is the
main equipment control compartment. Use a
Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the panel. To
remove the panel, pull it up, then pull it towards
you to expose the equipment compartment.
2. Use the same process to remove the
panels from the other sides of the spa (see photo
at right) to expose the jet pumps. There may be
pumps on one or two sides, depending on the
model. Your dealer can tell you exactly where
the pumps are on the spa.
3. Locate the hose bib (see picture to the left) that is included in the
owner’s manual packet. The packet is shipped inside the equipment
compartment. This bib allows you to connect a hose to your spa to drain it.
4. Screw the hose bib onto the male drain fitting located below the
skirt at the lower left corner of the spa.
5. Close the valve on the side of the hose bib by
turning the valve handle so it is perpendicular to the pipe;
in the illustration at right, the valve is open.
6
Dimension One Spas - Bay Collection - Owner’s Manual
6. Examine the jet pumps on the sides of
the spa. There are two pump unions and two
gate valves per pump. Check to make sure the
pump unions are hand tight to prevent leaks.
Next, check the gate valves to make sure they
are fully opened (handles extended) and that the
red safety clips are snapped into place.
7. Remove the shipping bolts from the
base of each pump and rotate the swivel lock,
located at the rear of each pump, away from the
pump.
8. Next, look at the two circulation
pumps located at the bottom of the main
equipment compartment. Check the hose
clamp fitting where the plumbing attaches
to the pumps and make sure they are tight.
9. Remove the two bleeder valves located near the
filters on the top side of the spa. One is located near
the skimmer filter (see photo), and the other across the
spa near UltraPurefilter. Removing the bleeders
allows air to escape from the pumps while filling the
spa.
7
Dimension One Spas - Bay Collection - Owner’s Manual
10. Remove the cap from the UltraPure
filter canister and the filter basket from the
skimmer canister.
11. Remove the
foam blocks securing
each filter.
12. Next, remove the filter from the
UltraPure canister and fill your hot tub
by placing a hose into the empty
UltraPure canister (for more details on
removing the filter, see the Filter Cleaning
UltraPure Filter
Skimmer Filter
section).
13. Fill the spa until the water level is about 6 inches below the top of the spa.
14. Once the spa is filled, replace the filters and turn on the
GFCI circuit breaker. The display screen on the control panel
will show the software version, followed by the software
number. The screen will then show the Spa menu. Dashed lines
will appear instead of the current temperature for the first 30
seconds.
15. On spas equipped with the Control Panel,
push the Jet Pump 1 Button once to turn on Pump 1. Let the
system run for 10 to 15 seconds to prime the pump, then press
the button again to turn it off. Repeat this process with pump 2
(if equipped).
16. If the jets do not start, there is air trapped in the plumbing lines. To eliminate the
trapped air, turn the pumps on and off several times to force the trapped air through the
pumps. If the jets still do not start, and the bleeder valves have been open for some time,
turn off the pumps and loosen the top pump unions (see illustration in step 6) slightly to let
any trapped air escape. Re-tighten the pump unions and turn the pumps on again. Turn the
pumps on and off several times until jets function properly.
Ozone bubbles will continue to rise from the skimmer compartment
UltraPure™ bleeder valve as long as the valve remains open. Once the jets are
working, be sure that the bleeder valve is closed tightly.
17. Once the jets are functioning properly, replace and close
the bleeder valves. Push up or down to enter the set point menu
and select the temperature you want the spa to heat or cool to.
Press Accept save changes.
The Display Window will not allow the temperature to be set above 104 F
(40C). However, if the water temperature exceeds 104 F (40 C), the
display will show the actual temperature. Never get in water if the
temperature exceeds 104 F (40 C).
