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 15 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 36 inches (1 meter) of unobstructed access to all sides 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.

10. Consider positioning your spa / hot tub out of or adequately protecting it from the wind. Just as people can get cold on cool/windy days so can your spa / hot tub. Windy environments can significantly increase operating costs.

11. Consider using an insulating pad. In cold climates, the gr ound can rob heat from the spa / hot tub and increase your operating costs. Consider using a suitable, outdoor insulating pad in such environments.

Electrical Specifications

Important: Qualified and licensed electricians must perform all electrical hookups. The following specifications must be followed in order to ensure proper performance and safety.

WARNING:Starting an incorrectly wired spa / hot tub could cause

severe damage to the mechanical equipment or even bodily harm. Have your licensed electrician verify GFCI wiring with the schematics on pages 17 - 18 prior to starting the spa / hot tub or call your local dealer.

CAUTION: Failure to abide by specifications listed may result in damage to the equipment and will void the warranty.

All spa / hot tubs must be wired with a 50 Ampere (A) breaker (or according to IEE wire regulations for export models). Failure to do so will cause equipment damage and will not be covered under your guarantee. All spa / hot tubs must be protected with an over current protective device with built-in GFCI in the service panel.

For HELP, call La-Z-Boy

® Spas at 1.800.465.2933.

WARNING

WARNING: Disconnect the electrical power before servicing.

Before obtaining access to terminals, all supply circuits must be disconnected.

Parts with extra low voltage (not exceeding 12V) must be inaccessible to a person in the spa / hot tub. Earthed appliances must be permanently connected to fixed wiring. Parts incorporating electrical components must be located or fixed so that they cannot fall into the spa / hot tub. Means for disconnection must be used with fixed wiring configurations in accordance with local wiring rules.

IMPORTANT: To allow the GFCI to function properly, connect the white Neutral wire from the spa / hot tub to the Neutral terminal on the GFCI breaker, not the Neutral bus in the GFCI breaker box. An improperly connected Neutral causes the GFCI breaker to trip.

Startup

Important: Read these step-by-step startup procedures before using your spa / hot tub. Failure to do so may result in damage to the equipment and may void your guarantee

Note: If you are unsure of any of the below startup procedures, please call your local dealer for assistance. For best results, read each step in its entirety before proceeding.

CAUTION: Running the spa / hot tub pump dry (without water running

through it) can cause IMMEDIATE damage and will void the guarantee. Be sure that the spa / hot tub is installed properly in accordance with the instructions in this manual.

Refer to the following picture for an explanation of your spa / hot tubs controls, components, and technical terms.

Note: Not all models have all features and components.

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.

2. Open the side panels to access the internal components.

3. Check that all slide valves are opened (service T-handles pulled out) to the heater and all pumps.

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

5. Check that the two heater unions are tight.

CAUTION: Do not use a wrench. Over-

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

Figure 6 - Valve Open/Closed

Figure 7 - Unions Tight

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 59).

10. Install the filter(s) in the filtration canister.

11. Check that all of the jets are open (turned full counter-clockwise – except for 5” spinner jets which open clockwise).

12. Now is the best time to clean and polish the surfaces of your spa (see page 60).

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 filters (in the filtration canister) are gently screwed into place. Turn them clockwise until they stop being careful not to over-tighten them (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 ½” below the pillow). 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.

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 52.

1. Turn on the breaker 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 next step.

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

Do not use your spa / hot tub!

2. Go to the topside control panel and look at the display. The system goes through a brief startup sequence after which Pump 1 starts in filtration mode and the panel displays the current water temperature.

Figure 9 – Topside Control Panel

3. Press the Pump 1 button . You should hear the first AquaFlex Massage pump turn on a higher speed, see water circulating in the spa, see the icon swirl on the display, and see CO in the Personal AquaFlex Massage Control (see page 41).

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 51). Turn power on again. Sometimes momentarily turning a pump off/on will prime it. Only do this four times

For HELP, call La-Z-Boy

® Spas at 1.800.465.2933.

4. Press again. You should hear the first pump turn on a higher speed and the icon swirl faster.

Note: Repeatedly pressing the button raises the speed each time (40%, 60%, 100%, and OFF*).

5. If the water is running smoothly through the lines, open the air control valve; you should see an increase in jet pressure. Check and adjust the water/airflow of every jet if necessary. Do this for all pumps to ensure proper operation. Each jet** in your spa / hot tub can be adjusted for directional flow. Turn the outer jet dial fully counterclockwise to permit water flow from a jet and allow the AquaFlex Massage control intensity. Pivot the angle of a jet to achieve an optimal massage. Adding an air mixture intensifies the level of your massage. Turn the air control valve counterclockwise to increase the air mixture and clockwise to turn it off.

Note: To minimize heat loss, close the air control valve when your spa / hot tub is not in use.

6. Continue pressing until Pump 1 slows.

Note: When programmed for continuous filtration and when temperature limits allow, Pump 1 and the ozone generator run continuously to help keep your water clean (see page 29).

7. Press the Pump 2 button (if equipped). You should hear the second pump (fixed-speed) turn on, see water circulating in the spa / hot tub, and see the icon swirl on the display. If Pump 2 has not primed after 3 minutes repeat same priming procedure of step 3 above for Pump 1. Check and adjust the water and airflow of every jet from Pump 2 if necessary.

8. Press again. You should hear the second pump turn on a higher speed and see the icon swirl faster.

9. Press a third time to turn off Pump 2. A built-in timer automatically turns Pump 2 off after 20 minutes, unless you turn it off first.

* If the spa is in filtration mode, the pump slows to 10% and does not turn OFF. **The 3” spinner jets and the constant filtration jets are not adjustable.

For HELP, call La-Z-Boy

® Spas at 1.800.465.2933.

10. Press the Pump 3 button (if equipped). You should hear the second Aq-

uaFlex pump turn on, see water circulating in the spa / hot tub, and see the icon swirl on the display. If Pump 3 has not primed after 3 minutes repeat same priming procedure of step 3 above for Pump 1. Check and adjust the water and airflow of every jet from Pump 3 if necessary.

Note: Repeatedly pressing the button raises the speed each time (40%, 60%, 100%, and OFF).

11. Continue pressing until Pump 3 turns off. A built-in timer automatically

turns Pump 3 off after 20 minutes, unless you turn it off first.

12. Press the Light button to turn the light on. Press this button again to cycle

through the many available colors. Once a desired color is found, pressing this button again stays on this color.

13. Press again to turn the light off. A built-in timer automatically turns the light

off after two hours, unless you turn it off first.
