Spa Installation
Danger: Electrical shock risk. Install at least 5 ft.
(1,5 m) from all metal surfaces.
The electrical supply for this product must include a suitably rated switch or circuit breaker to open all ungrounded supply conductors to comply with Section 422-20 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/ NFPA70-1987. The disconnecting means must be readily accessible but installed at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) from the spa water. All electrical connections should comply with article 680-D of the NEC.
Site and Positioning
Locate the spa on solid, level foundation or flooring, keeping in mind the weight of the filled spa (in excess of 4,000 lbs. on some models). If you have any doubts about the load bearing ability of your chosen site, contact an architect or a building contractor. The entire perimeter of the spa cabinet and the spa bottom must be evenly supported. If your spa is installed outdoors, we recommend that you provide a concrete pad for the spa to rest on (8ft. x 8ft. x 4” level pad). Failure to provide a level surface could structurally damage your spa and void the warranty. The spa must be installed to allow access for service and maintenance on all four sides; therefore, below grade level installation is not recommended.
Outdoor Installation
The following considerations apply when installing your spa outdoors:
1. Local codes pertaining to fencing.
2. Local electrical and plumbing codes.
3. View from your house.
4. Wind direction.
5. Exposure to sunlight.
6. Location relationship to trees (twigs, leaves and shade).
7. Dressing and bathroom location.
8. Storage area for maintenance equipment and chemicals.
9. Location to facilitate adult supervision.
10. Landscaping and nighttime lighting.
11. Accessibility to equipment.
12. Power supply location and foot traffic.
Indoor Installation
The following considerations apply when installing your spa indoors:
1. Indoor spas promote high humidity. Using either ventilation fans or commercial grade de-humidifiers will help to reduce the humidity. Consult your dealer for details.
2. Floor drains must be provided near the spa to drain off water that may cause falls and /or water damage.
3. Floor area should be flat with a non-skid finish. Carpeting is not recommended.
4. Walls, ceilings, woodwork should be made of materials capable of withstanding high humidity (redwood, cedar).
5. Be sure floor load bearing capacities are adequate to support the concentrated spa weight.
6. Spas should be double checked for leaks before installing to avoid possible water damage. Dealer installation may include this service.
7. Indoor sunrooms are capable of maintaining high ambient temperatures which may effect the spa water temperature. It is NOT recommended that you operate your filter cycles for longer than 6 hours per day under these conditions.

Start Up Procedures
Follow recommendations for site location and electrical connection. The water line on the weir door is the level at which the water should be maintained.
1. Fill the spa through the filter hole to the water line on the weir door with tap water. Never use “softened” water in your spa. Softened water can impact the chemical balance of the water and lead to degradation of metal plumbing components.
2. Turn power on to unit at circuit breaker or disconnect panel.
3. Open the air controls, located on the top lip, and cycle the jets from high to low. Water should come from the therapy jets. If water flow is not established, turn off jets and see Priming Your Spa (this page).
4. Add chemicals. See Chemical treatment and Water Maintenance section.
Follow Operating Instructions for your particular model to set heat to the desired temperature. Initially, you may find that the spa requires 12 to 14 hours on 240 Volt installations to reach temperature. Keep your thermal cover on the unit and close the air controls to help the heating process.
Important: Do not operate the spa without full water flow.
Priming Your Spa
When filling your spa for the first time or, after draining and refilling the spa, you may need to bleed air from the system. Should you experience an air-lock in pump 1, remove the filter basket cover; insert a garden hose through the center hole of the filter as far as possible without using force. Hold the hose in place and turn on the water. This forces water into the pump and forces the air out.
Ozone Operation
All models in the Maax Spas’ CleanZone assist with your water sanitizing needs. The system is designed to work in conjunction with an injector system to maximize the sanitizing effects by fully mixing the ozone with the water flow. CleanZone
the spa is in a timed filtration cycle. During the filter cycle, activating other functions will suspend ozone production for 30 minutes.
Note: Activating the low speed of Pump 1 for a clean­up cycle will initiate filtration, but not ozone production, unless the spa enters a timed filter cycle during the 4 hour period.
