Location and Installation

Proper planning is an important consideration when installing your new spa / hot tub. Site selection is a critical step and requires serious thought. Planning ahead makes the installation process easier. The following information is provided to assist you in site preparations.

1. Always comply with local building codes and obtain any necessary permits. You may also need to consult with an engineer to address your specific design needs.

2. Contact an electrician to assess your electrical needs, install wiring, and assure a safe operation.

3. Position your spa / hot tub with proper access to water, drainage, and electricity.

4. Place your spa / hot tub on a uniform solid, flat surface designed to properly support its weight. For external installations, a 4-inch (10 cm) thick cement pad suffices. See page 14 for conduit entry locations for your model spa.

5. For internal installations, check the load carrying capabilities of the floor on which the spa will reside. Most homes meet the requirement of 80 pounds per square foot.

6. Assure that your spa / hot tub will fit into the space you have chosen and the delivery route will accommodate its large size.

7. Provide adequate ventilation for the humidity created by your spa / hot tub. In most cases, the Color Coordinated Cover is sufficient.

8. Protect the pump and all equipment from the weather by ensuring the cabinet panels are secure at all times.

9. Allow 6 inches (10 cm) of unobstructed access to all sides (front 36 inched / 1 meter) of your spa / hot tub for normal servicing. Your spa / hot tub is not designed to be recessed in the ground or in a deck.

Electrical Specifications

120 Volt Electrical Installation

(North America 60hZ)

Always follow applicable local, state and

federal codes and guidelines.

• Use a dedicated electrical line with a 15A breaker.

• Cord-and-plug connections may not use a cord longer than 15 feet (4.6 m) and must be plugged into a dedicated 15A GFCI connection (NEC

680.42(A)

• Do not use extension cords!

• Always use a weatherproof-covered receptacle.

• Receptacle shall be located not less than 5 feet (1.5 m) from and not exceeding 10 feet (3.0 m) from the inside wall of the spa. (NEC 680.43(A))

• Do not bury the power cord. If your cord becomes damaged, replace it before next usage.

• All 120V spas use a GFCI cord and plug as shown.

• Test the GFCI plug prior to first use and periodically when the spa is powered. To test the GFCI plug version, follow these instructions. (Spa should already be plugged in and operational.)

1. Press the TEST button on the GFCI. The GFCI will trip and the spa will stop operating.

2. Press the RESET button on the GFCI. The GFCI will reset and the spa will turn back on.

The spa is now safe to use.

• If the GFCI trips while the spa is in use, press the RESET button. If the GFCI does not reset, unplug the spa and call your local La-Z-Boy Spas dealer for service. DO NOT USE THE SPA!

IF USING THE STANDARD 120V SERVICE, YOU MUST USE A DEDICATED LINE, WHICH MEANS THAT THERE CANNOT BE ANY OTHER HOUSEHOLD ITEMS CONNECTED TO THE CIRCUIT OR OUTLET AT ALL! HAVINGANY OTHER ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES AT ALL ON THIS CIRCUIT WHILE THE SPA IS RUNNING WILL TRIP THE BREAKER IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT USE ANY TYPE OF EXTENSION CORDS BETWEEN THE SPA AND THE WALL OUTLET, THIS WILL ALSO CAUSE THE BREAKER TO TRIP AND CAN BE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.

Electrical Specifications

120V to 240 V Conversion

(North America 60hZ)

Some spa owners choose to have their spa converted

from 120V operation to 240V operation for greater energy efficiency.

WARNING: The electrical circuit must be installed by a licensed electrical contractor and approved by a local building or electrical inspector. Failure to comply with state and local codes may result in fire or personal injury and will be the sole responsibility of the spa owner.

The steps to converting your spa from 120V to 240V operation are shown below and must be completed by a licensed electrician.

Power supply installation must include a properly rated GFCI circuit breaker. The circuit must be dedicated and should not be shared with any other appliances. It should be labeled and easily accessible to users. The power supply must be hard wired into the power pack. A hole may be drilled through the resin cabinet near the electrical pack to accommodate wiring. Foam insulation may be sprayed around the hole to fill any gaps between the cabinet and the wiring.

Step 1.

Disconnect jumper form J11

Electrical Specifications

120V to 240 V Conversion Continued

Step 3.

Turn Dipswitch #10 off (down). To run at 240V, dipswitch #7 should be in the on position.

To run at 120V, dip switches #7 & 10 are the only ones that should be in the ON position. Adjusting any other dip switches will render the spa inoperable and may cause permanent da mage. This also voids all warranties.

Your 240V wiring should look like this.

See Wiring Diagram on page 18 for further information.

If wiring appears differently, DO NOT power your spa! Consult a certified electrician.

PLEASE CHECK YOUR LOCAL BUILDING CODES AND ONLY USE A CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN TO INSTALL ANY ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS TO YOUR SPA.

Electrical Specifications

240 V Electrical Installation

(North America 60hZ)

• All 240V spas must be permanently hardwired to the power supply. See wiring diagram on page 20.

• Spas must be wired using this procedure. Any variance from these instructions 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.

GFCI and Wiring Requirements

• 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 on this page 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.

Testing the GFCI Breaker

Test the GFCI breaker prior to first use and periodically when the spa is powered. To test the GFCI breaker follow these instructions:

1. With spa operating, press the TEST button on the GFCI. The GFCI will trip and the spa will shut off.

2. Reset the GFCI breaker by switching the breaker to the full OFF position, wait a moment, then turn the breaker back on. The spa should have power.

Before Adding Water

Before adding water, go through these simple steps now to prevent common issues when setting up your spa / hot tub for the first time. Verify that the following have all been rechecked.

1. Turn off all power at the main breaker panel or unplug.

2. Open the front panel to access the internal components.

3. Check that all gate valves are opened (service handles in the up position).

4. Check that there are no obvious signs of loose wires or broken pipes.

5. Check that the two heater unions are tight.

Figure 6 - Valve Open

CAUTION:

Do not use a wrench. Over

-tightening may cause damage to unions and gaskets, which will not be covered the Guarantee.

Figure 7 - Tighten Directions

6. Check that the unions on all pumps are tight.

7. Clean out any foreign debris from within the service access area or inside of the

spa / hot tub itself.

8. With the drain open and filters removed, thoroughly rinse out the spa / hot tub with warm water until the drained water runs clear. Run water through the filtration canister and jet lines to remove any incidental dust, dirt, and debris that may have accumulated during shipment or installation. Drain all water completely.

9. Make sure that the spa / hot tub drain valv e is closed and the cap is on tight (see page 42).

10. Install the filter in the filtration canister.

11. Now is the best time to clean and polish the surface of your spa (see page 43).

Page 23

For HELP, call La-Z-Boy

® Spas at 1.800.465.2933.

Filling Your Spa

Now it's time to fill your spa / hot tub with water. Do not turn on the electricity yet until the spa / hot tub is completely filled. To properly fill your spa / hot tub:

1. Make sure that the filter (in the filtration canister) is gently screwed into place. Turn it clockwise until it stops being careful not to over-tighten it (this avoids cracking the filter).

2. Connect a standard garden hose to a faucet with regular cold tap water (not softened water or hot water).

CAUTION: The water from your hot water tank should not be used to fill the spa / hot tub.

3. Put the pre-filter* on the other end of the hose, point the pre-filter into a suitable

drain, turn on the water, and allow any sediment to be flushed down the drain. Once the water stream runs clear, turn off the hose.

4. Put the pre-filter (if equipped) into the filtration canister and turn on the hose.

5. Fill slowly. If too much water pressure is used, foaming water can force air into

the pipes and cause startup problems.

Figure 8 - Filtration Canister

* Pre-filters are available at most dealers

Important: To assure that the pump is properly primed, fill the spa / hot tub through the filter area only.

6. Fill the spa / hot tub until the water level is about 1” above all hydrotherapy jets (or

about 6” below the lip of the spa / hot tub). Do not over fill.

Note: Every person entering a spa / hot tub displaces a given volume of water, so adjust water level to the number of people regularly using the spa / hot tub.

Turn off the hose and check again for any small leaks.

Page 24

For HELP, call La-Z-Boy

® Spas at 1.800.465.2933.

Operational Checks

CAUTION: Do not turn on any pump until your spa is properly filled with

water. Running any pump without water in your spa can cause IMMEDIATE damage, which is not covered by the guarantee!

By now you have rechecked your spa / hot tub mechanical connections and filled it with water to about 1” above all jets by adding cold tap water (if equipped) through the pre-filter (if equipped). Turn on power to the spa / hot tub at the main breaker panel and test the operation of the electrical system. If you encounter a problem, please reference the troubleshooting guide on page 36.

Plug in the spa (110 v) or turn on the breaker (220 v) and test the operation of the Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) breaker by pushing the small button. This should automatically trip the spa / hot tub circuit breaker. Only if pushing this button successfully trips this circuit breaker should you reset this breaker and proceed to the initial start up procedure.

DANGER: If this breaker does not trip, immediately call your electrician.

Do not use your spa / hot tub!

Initial Start Up Procedure

1) Ensure the circuit breaker to the spa / hot tub is off.

2) Ensure that all of the gate valves are open. The gate valve is on when the handle is

in the up position. It is off when it is in the down position.

3) To prevent the possibility of leakage in the equipment bay, ensure the pump unions

are tight.

4) Close and cap the hose bib. This is used for draining the spa / hot tub.

5) Fill the spa / hot tub with water above the top of the ﬁlter cartridge and above the

level of the jets (approximately 4 inches or 10 cm).

Page 25

For HELP, call La-Z-Boy

® Spas at 1.800.465.2933.

6) Plug in the spa or turn on the circuit breaker. Set the desired temperature by using

the up or down keys.

7) Push the jet button on the keypad to turn on the low speed pump. Check to ensure

water is coming from some of the jets. If the water is not ﬂowing out, open the air bleed valve slightly to release trapped air. Close the valve when the pump pushes water out of air bleed. Push the jet button on the keypad and the pump will turn on high speed. Observe closely to ensure adequate water ﬂow.

8) Re-attach the equipment access panel.

9) Heating will occur at a rate of approximately 5-12ºF or 3-5ºC per hour.

10) Ensure proper water chemistry is necessary only after completing the above steps.

11) To conserve energy and ensure your spa / hot tub is ready for use, place the col-

or coordinated cover securely on the spa.

CAUTION: If water does not flow from the jets after 2 minutes, turn pow-

er off at the main panel and bleed air from the system (see page 35). Turn power on again. Sometimes momentarily turning a pump off/on will prime it. Only do this four times.

Water Quality

Note: Perform water quality testing weekly and whenever your water is changed (or when your spa / hot tub is first filled). Once your spa / hot tub reaches 95ºF / 35ºC, properly adjust the chemistry of your spa / hot tub water by testing it with good quality test kits and adjusting levels as needed.

Figure 10 – Typical Test Strip Usage

Total Alkalinity

Important: Total Alkalinity (TA) is the first parameter you should balance when making routine adjustments to your water.

Once your water temperature reaches 95ºF / 35ºC, test the total alkalinity of your spa / hot tub water with a good quality test kit. Maintain a total alkalinity level of 80 to 120 ppm.

Total alkalinity is the measure of alkaline buffers in your water. These buffers protect the water against sudden changes in pH. Total alkalinity is considered the key to water balance.

When the total alkalinity is too low, add sodium bicarbonate. If the total alkalinity is too

Acid Alkaline Balance (pH)

Test the pH of your spa water with a good quality test kit. Maintain a pH level of 7.2 to

7.8.

A balanced pH promotes bathing comfort and prevents corrosion, staining, scaling, or cloudy water.

If the measured pH is too low, add soda ash to the spa water. If the pH is too high, add sodium bisulfate to the spa water. Follow the directions on the manufacturer’s label and make small changes. Circulate the water for 20 minutes before retesting.

Page 27

For HELP, call La-Z-Boy

® Spas at 1.800.465.2933.

Hardness Level

Once your pH level is proper, test the hardness level of your water with a good quality test kit. Maintain a hardness of 200 to 400 ppm (mg/L).

A balanced hardness level helps prevent corrosion and scaling. If the measured hardness level is too low, add calcium chloride to the water. If the

hardness level is too high, partially drain and refill your spa / hot tub with cold tap water. Follow the directions on the chemical manufacturer’s label and make small changes.

Note: If the hardness level is higher than 400 ppm (mg/L) when initially filling your spa / hot tub, the hardness level of your tap water may be too high. If so, partially drain your spa / hot tub. Use a good quality pre-filter to the supply line when refilling it (see page

23).

Sanitization, Chlorine / Bromine

Once your hardness level is proper, it is imperative that you do not use the spa / hot tub until there is a minimum reading of chlorine or bromine in the water. Maintain a chlorine or bromine level of 3 to 5 ppm (Mg/L)

Chlorine and bromine are available from your dealer in tablet and granular form. Tablets or granular products should never be added directly to the spa / hot tub.

Damage and discoloration to the surface may occur. Tablets should always be placed in a tablet dispenser (not included) and the tablet dispenser then placed into the spa / hot tub water.

Granular products should be applied to the spa / hot tub water in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. Never apply granular chlorine or bromine products directly to the spa water.

La-Z-Boy

® Spas strongly recommends the use of our AquaAzure Water Care

products. It significantly reduces the need for chlorine or bromine and makes managing your spa / hot tub water easy. Ask your La-Z-Boy Spa dealer for further details.

Water Management

Below are some answers to common water chemistry questions.

It is common to have pH fluctuations after adding chemicals to

your spa / hot tub or after a party. Let your jets run and give your water time to stabilize. 9 times out of 10, your pH will come back into the 7.2 - 7.8 range on its own.

Mildew on cover

Foamy water

CLEAR green or

brown water

CLOUDY white

water

CLOUDY green

water

Odor and/or

cloudy water

Scaling

Mildew usually grows in the folds and seams of your cover and then drips into your spa / hot tub water causing cloudiness and/or odor. Clean with a non-foaming spa / hot tub cover cleaner and then rinse the inside of your cover with clean warm water.

Foam typically results from soap residue on your skin and hair, or laundry detergent residue on clothing. Take a soapless shower and rinse all clothing in warm water prior to bathing. Your “source water” most likely has dissolved heavy metals. When this is the case, use a respected brand of demineralizer found at any local pool/ spa store. Using a pre-filter can remove these contaminants before they get into your spa (see page 23).

Although a normal condition immediately after filling that dissipates after time, with stabilized water this is a visual indication that the total alkalinity or pH or both are at improper levels. Test your water weekly and maintain proper water chemistry (see page 26). Algae can be resolved by adding a respected brand of algaecide.

If your water develops an odor and/or cloudiness, clean your cover and filters and try increasing the amount of time your spa filters per day by turning your filtration cycle time or duration up.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Does the Pump run all the Time?

Your spa / hot tub can be programmed for constant filtration (see page 35) to keep your water as clean and clear as possible. It is normal for your pump to run this way when programmed to do so.

Who do I call for Guarantee Information or Service?

Call your local dealer. Please note, you must register your spa / hot tub within 30 days of purchasing your spa / hot tub.

Who are the Service Companies in my area?

Call your local dealer. If you encounter a matter that can’t be easily resolved over the phone, a local technician can be dispatched to your home. The service technician may assess reasonable travel charges during on-site repairs.

What Happens when my Guarantee Expires?

Your local dealer will continue to provide service for your spa / hot tub after your guarantee has expired.

Are the Hydrotherapy jets Removable? Interchangeable?

Most jets are made removable, adjustable, and those of the same size are interchangeable for customized hydrotherapy.

How do I adjust my Hydrotherapy jets?

Simply turn each of the hydrotherapy jets counterclockwise to open and clockwise to close. Be careful not to overturn these jets, as damage can occur.

Note: We recommend leaving all hydrotherapy jets fully open to allow the pumps complete control over jet pressure.

CAUTION: Do not turn off too many jets at the same time. This will

create backflow and possible damage to your spa / hot tub!

How often should I drain my spa?

You should drain and refill your spa / hot tub every 1-3 months depending on usage. Every other time you drain and refill, you should also replace the filters and wipe down the spa (see page 43).

What is the insulation made of?

The La-Z-Boy Spas Seduce model includes a polyurethane spray type insulation that is installed in all spaces permitting between the interior shell and exterior walls.

How do I bleed air from my system?

When draining and refilling your spa / hot tub, the pump may become air locked. Air

-locked pumps stop water from flowing in your spa / hot tub and is easily resolved by bleeding off the trapped air. To do this:

 Turn off or unplug the GFCI breaker  Open the access panel below the topside control panel  Loosen the union on the front of the pump until you hear the trapped air escape  Once water drips out in a continuous stream, hand tighten the union until the water

stops leaking

 Loosen the discharge union on the top of the pump until you hear the trapped air

escape or water drips out in a continuous stream

 Turn on pump to make sure that there are no leaks  Put the access panels back on

Figure 15 - Bleeding Air

How should I clean my spa?

Use non-sudsing cleaners and non-oily polishes. A high quality all purpose cleaner quickly removes scum lines and helps restore your shell’s original beauty. Rinse all filters, covers, and surfaces thoroughly with warm tap water. A high quality filter cleaner is a safe, effective way to clean and re-use your filters and a plumbing cleaner cleans the inside of all plumbing in your spa / hot tub. You can contact your local La-ZBoy Spa dealer to order these easy-to-use cleaning products.

Troubleshooting

If a problem arises, you can check this list for a quick solution. If this does not resolve your problem, please call your local dealer for servicing information.

Important: Most problems can be quickly resolved by resetting the GFCI breaker. Try this first before proceeding.

Problem Cause Solution

Breaker trips

Wiring error Spa Neutral wire not connected to GFCI (connected

to Neutral bus)

Wrong GFCI GFCI breaker is wrong size or type

Chlorine level changed suddenly

Maintenance and Care

Important: The guarantee on your spa / hot tub and equipment depends on proper water balance (see page 26). In addition, the following maintenance procedures must be followed periodically.

Cabinets, Everlast

The spa / hot tub consists of a rigid polymer that combines the durability of plastic with the beauty of a wood-looking cabinet. To clean the cabinet, a mild soap and water solution easily removes residue.

Color Coordinated Cover

1. The heat shield cover on your spa / hot tub is made from a weatherproof marinegrade vinyl. Your cover will last much longer if you heed the following suggestions:

2. Don’t drag your cover on the ground; wearing of the vinyl could easily develop into a tear.

3. The insulating foam in your cover is not designed to hold the weight of a person or an animal.

Important – Cracked foam in a cover is not covered under the Guarantee. Do not stand on it.

4. Occasionally clean the inside of your cover with a spa / hot tub cover cleaner and rinse with warm water. (Using soap or vinyl cleaners on the inside of your cover causes foamy water.) Call your local dealer to order spa / hot tub cover cleaner.

5. A spa / hot tub cover cleaner applied to the outside of your cover and stitching once yearly will keep it looking better longer. Call your local dealer to order vinyl cover cleaner.

6. Do not lift your cover by the safety straps, they are made to secure the tub to the cabinet and may tear.

Draining and Refilling Your Spa

Figure 16 - Drain Operation

1. Turn off the GFCI breaker or unplug the spa.

2. Remove spa / hot tub cover and allow water to cool down.

3. Select a safe, suitable drainage area capable of safely assimilating 300 plus gallons of water that may contain unsanitary contaminants and chemical residue that could cause harm to plants or grass.

4. Locate drain valve at within the cabinet of the spa / hot tub (see page 42). Hold the pipe to prevent it from turning, then loosen and remove the cap.

5. Attach a garden hose to the exposed threads and route the hose downhill to your drainage area.

6. Turn the drain fitting 1/2 turn counterclockwise to unlock the drain valve and open completely. The water will drain by gravitational flow.

7. After the spa / hot tub drains, perform steps 3-5 in reverse order to close the drain prior to refilling.

8. Attach the garden hose to a thoroughly-flushed pre-filter (not included, rinsed of all residual sediment) and refill your spa / hot tub through the filtration canister.

9. After refilling, plug in the spa or turn on the GFCI breaker to the spa / hot tub.

10. If the pump runs but no water flows, see page 35 to see how to bleed air from the system.

Filters

The micro filter in your spa / hot tub should be removed and cleaned every week with a high quality filter cleanser and typically replaced every 4-6 months (depending upon use). You can clean your filter with the water pressure from the end of a garden hose then rinsed with warm water. This ensures that the water is being filtered properly.

DO NOT USE BLEACH. We recommend having replacement filter on hand that can be swapped between cleanings. Doing so enables you to quickly exchange the dirty filters with the clean one and immediately start your spa / hot tub again. Call your local dealer to order replacement filters and filter cleaner.

Jets, All Active Comfort Massage

Remove and clean the jets as needed using a high quality plumbing cleanser, water, and a cloth or soft-bristled brush.

Light, LED Mood and Safety

Drain the spa / hot tub and clean the LED Safety and Mood Light lens as needed using an optical cloth and an eyewear cleaning product specifically designed not to scratch optical surfaces. If the back side of this lens is also dirty remove the rear panel, twist the light assembly counterclockwise ¼ turn to remove the light from its holder, and clean in this same manner.

Surface

The surface of your spa / hot tub should be cleaned with a high quality all purpose cleaner and thoroughly rinsed with warm (not cold) water before refilling. (See page

21.).

WARNING: Cleaning your spa shell with abrasive cleaners could

discolor, dull, or damage the surface and will void your shell warranty.

NEVER use paint solvents, acids, acetone, benzene, lacquer thinner, tolulene, xylene, or similar chemicals to clean your spa shell.

Water

Depending on usage, the water in your spa / hot tub should be changed every 1-3 months. Upon each change of water it is a good practice to wipe down your spa.

Page 44

For HELP, call La-Z-Boy

® Spas at 1.800.465.2933.

Shutdown / Winterizing

Your spa / hot tub is designed to operate year round. If you plan to leave your spa / hot tub unused for long periods of time in severely cold weather, you should winterize your spa / hot tub to avoid accidental freezing due to a power or equipment failure.

We highly recommend that you have a spa / hot tub professional winterize and restart your spa / hot tub.

WARNING: Damage from improperly winterizing or restarting your

spa / hot tub is not covered under your warranty. You can call your local dealer to assist you in properly winterizing your spa / hot tub.
