IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (CONT.)
(For units with GFCI) WARNING – This product is provided with a ground-fault circuit interrupter
located on the front panel of selected swim spas and on the power cord of 120 volt convertible spas. The GFCI must be tested before each use. With the product operating, open the service door. When the product stops operating, this merely indicates that the door is equipped with an electrical interlock. Next, push the test button on the GFCI and close the service door. The prod­uct should not operate. Now open the service door, push the reset button on the GFCI and close the service door. The product should now operate normally. When the product fails to operate in this manner, there is a ground current flowing indicating the possibility of an electric shock. Disconnect the power until the fault has been identified and corrected.
DANGER – Risk of Accidental Drowning. Extreme caution must be exercised to pre­vent unauthorized access by children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children can­not use this swim spa unless they are supervised at all times.
DANGER – Risk of Injury. The suction fittings in this swim 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 swim 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.
DANGER – Risk of Electric Shock. Install at least 5 feet (1.5m) from all metal sur­faces. As an alternative, a swim spa may be installed within 5 feet of metal surfaces if each metal surface is permanently connected by a minimum 8AWG (8.4mm
2
) solid copper conductor to the wire connector on the terminal box that is provided for this purpose.
DANGER – Risk of Electric Shock. Do not permit any electric appliance, such as a light, telephone, radio, or television, within 5 feet (1.5 m) of a swim spa.
WARNING – To reduce the risk of injury:
a) The water in a swim spa should never exceed 40˚C (104˚F). Water tem-
peratures between 38˚C (100˚F) and 40˚C ( 104˚F) are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended for young children and when swim spa use exceeds 10 minutes.

VGB Suction Safety & Maintenance Instructions
VGB 2008:
WARNING
Read and follow all instructions in this manual and on the suction fitting. Failure to follow instructions can cause severe injury and/or death.
Failure to remove pressure test plugs and/or plugs used in winterization of the spa/swim spa from the suction outlets can result in an increased potential for suction entrapment as described on the previous page.
Suction outlet components have a finite life. The cover/grate should be inspected frequent­ly and replaced at least every seven years, or if found to be damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached.
If the fitting is missing or broken, replace with a fitting of equivalent rating or higher. Use of a lower rated suction fitting could result in entrapment of the body which could result in serious injury including drowning.
Do not use or operate spa/swim spa if this suction fitting is missing, broken or not secured per instructions. The suction fitting is intended to prevent entrapment of the body. Use of the spa/swim spa with a missing, broken or improperly secured suction grate may result in serious personal injury including drowning.
When the spa/swim spa is in operation, suction is created at this fitting. Users of the spa/ swim spa must be instructed not to come in contact with this fitting in such a way as to block its orifice. If a user of the spa/swim spa blocks this fitting with his/her body, serious personal injury or drowning may occur.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING - SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD
Suction in suction outlets and/or suction outlet covers which are damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or unsecured can cause severe injury and/or death due to the fol­lowing entrapment hazards:
Hair Entrapment: Hair can become entangled in suction outlet cover. Limb Entrapment: A limb inserted into an opening of a suction outlet sump/fitting or suction outlet
cover that is damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached can result in a mechani­cal bind or swelling of the limb.
Body Suction Entrapment: A negative pressure applied to a large portion of the body or limbs can result in an entrapment.

GLOSSARY OF SWIM SPA TERMINOLOGY
Your new Master Spa features a variety of jets. All jets, regardless of style return the water to the swim spa. Air is mixed with the water by using the air controls (if equipped) creating a gentle to most vigorous massage. Water flow is adjusted by simply turning the outer face of most jets. Your Master Spa may have a combination of pulsating, rotating, dual pulsating and directional adjust­able jets.
1. THERAPY JETS
Located throughout the seats of the swim spa to offer a variety of therapy combinations.
2. NECK JETS (if equipped)
Located above the normal water level to provide massaging action to the back of the neck.
3. SHOULDER JETS (if equipped)
Located above the normal water level to provide massaging action to the shoulders.
4. MASTER BLASTER FOOT THERAPY JET (if equipped)
Large jet with several fixed nozzles located in the bottom of the swim spa near the floor to pro­vide excellent massage to the feet.
5. JET DIVERTER VALVE (if equipped)
Located on the top flange of the swim spa, this large valve physically diverts the flow of water from one group of jets to another. Be sure that no sand or particles are brought into the swim spa as they will cause the diverter to seize up. It is best to turn the diverter valve only when the pump is turned off.
6. WATER FEATURE VALVE (if equipped)
Located on the top flange of the swim spa, this smaller valve adjusts water flow to the water-
falls and/or water features in your swim spa.
NOTE:
When the swim spa is not in use, this valve should be turned mostly shut (not completely shut) to prevent the water features from allowing water to hit the cover while it is closed. If left mostly open, water may hit the cover and possibly run out of the swim spa causing water loss.
7. AIR CONTROL VALVE
These smaller valves are located around the top of your swim spa. You may increase or decrease the force of your jets by opening or closing the air control valves. Each air control valve will typi­cally function 1 to 2 groups or seats of jets in the swim spa. When not in use the air controls should be kept in the closed position as the air being introduced in to the water can tend to cool the water and increase the dissipation rate of sanitizer levels.
8. TOPSIDE CONTROL PANEL
You may safely control swim spa functions from inside or outside your swim spa using the Topside Control Panel. This Panel is used to control the water temperature, pumps, the swim spa light, automatic filtration cycles and other advanced functions. The digital display will give you a constant temperature readout and will notify you in case of certain malfunctions. Several user programmable functions are also available.

Panel “H” Panel “G” Panel “F”
Panel “E”
Panel “A”
Panel “C” Panel “D”
11. EQUIPMENT ACCESS PANEL
This is the skirt panel located below the Topside Control Panel or behind access panel “A”.
This area houses the majority of components responsible for the swim spa’s operation. These components include the pumps, heater, swim spa control system, ozonator (if equipped), and LED light system (if equipped). Pump and equipment placement may vary by model.
12. FILTER LID
This lid fits over the filter area and weir gate to cover the filters. Remove filter lid to access
filters for maintenance.
13. WEIR GATE
The weir gate is the horizontal door located in front of the filters that helps keep debris
trapped in the filter area
14. SWIM SPA CONTROL SYSTEM
This houses the wiring and electrical components necessary to operate the swim spa.
15. SWIM SPA HEATER
This is an electric heater housed in a stainless steel tube. It is thermostatically controlled and
equipped with high-limit temperature safety shut-off sensors.
16. SLICE VALVES
These valves are used by service personnel to shut off water to the heating system (heater and pump plumbed to the heater) so that the swim spa water does not need to be drained if the swim spa requires service to the heating system (varies by model).
NOTE: Slice valves must be completely open during normal operations.
17. MAIN THERAPY PUMP
This produces water flow through the main jets in the swim spa. The first pump may be oper-
ated on two speeds (varies by model). Low speed (if applicable) will produce efficient water circulation during filtration, heating of the swim spa water, and gentle jet action. High speed provides maximum jet action. The main pump is controlled by the “Jets” or “Jets I” button on the Topside Control Panel.
Slice Valve and Pump Union
15DO NOT DIVE.
GLOSSARY OF SWIM SPA TERMINOLOGY
18. SECONDARY THERAPY PUMP (if equipped)
This produces water flow through 1 to 2 groups or seats of jets in the swim spa. The second
pump operates similar to the main pump and is controlled by the “Jets II” or “Aux” button on the Topside Control Panel.
19. THIRD THERAPY PUMP (if equipped)
This produces water flow through 1 to 2 groups or seats of jets in the swim spa. This is con-
trolled by the Jets III button on the Topside Control Panel.
20. CIRCULATION PUMP (if equipped)
This produces water flow through the heater in the swim spa and provides the water flow
necessary to actuate the ozone injector. This energy efficient pump runs 24 hours for efficient filtration and heating.
21. PUMP UNION
These are used to help relieve possible pump air locks or for service personnel to easily service
the pumps.
22. HEATER UNION
These are used by service personnel to easily service the heater.
23. SWIM SPA LIGHT
The on/off control for the lighting in your swim spa is located on the topside control panel near the therapy seats.
24. EXERCISE JETS (H2X Swim Spas)
These large jets are grouped at the end of your swim spa to offer water flow for exercising
against. A jet diverter valve may control the flow for these jets.
25. SWIM SPA JUNCTION BOX (MP Swim Spa Only)
The internal junction box for connecting your electrical service(s) to the swim spa is located
behind and accessible by removing access panels “B” and “A”.
26. PROPULSION SYSTEM ACCESS (MP Swim Spa Only)
The propulsion control system of the MP Swim Spas is located behind the skirt panel desig-
nated as “E” in the access panels drawing. The propulsion motor, propulsion control pack, and pulleys for the system are located in this area.
27. PROPULSION SYSTEM CONTROL PANEL (MP Swim Spa Only)
You may safely control the speed of the propulsion system from the inside of your swim spa
by using the buttons on the control panel mounted in the swim area. This control panel is used to turn the propulsion system on and off and to adjust the intensity of the water flow. Your swim spa may have one of three propulsion systems depending on the equipment option: Wave, Wave XP, or Wave XP Pro. All three systems operate in the same manner using the control panel mounted on the swim end of your swim spa. This control panel may be safely used from inside or outside of the swim spa to operate the propulsion system.

SITE PREPARATION / GENERAL GUIDELINES
Swim spa installation is simple when properly planned. It is important that you read the following information carefully and consult with your Master Spas dealer.
1) Access - The actual dimensions of your new swim spa will determine the amount of space that
is needed in moving the swim spa from curbside to its final installation area. Be sure to consider and measure side yard dimensions, gates, doors, overall room dimensions and vertical obstruc­tions such as ceilings, roof overhangs, balconies and overhead cables. Any other space limiting obstacles such as stairs, trees, and shrubs must also be evaluated. Please be sure to contact and review these site and installation plans with your Master Spas dealer prior to delivery.
2) Surface/Pad Requirements - When your new swim spa is filled with water and bathers, it may
weigh as much as several tons. It is imperative that the base beneath the swim spa can support the entire weight. The swim spa must be on a uniformly firm, continuous, and level surface. The recommended foundation is a concrete pad with a minimum thickness of four (4) inches with steel reinforcement bars crossed throughout the pad.
IMPORTANT
When installing your swim spa indoors, on a wood deck, roof or balcony; load requirements need to be evaluated before installation. You should speak with a qualified contractor or your local building department to confirm that your surface is adequate for supporting a swim spa.
All sides of the swim spa must be accessible for regular maintenance or in the event that service is needed. Periodical maintenance checks require entry into the equipment bay. When possible, it is wise planning for the future to leave 3 feet of access to all sides of the swim spa in the event your swim spa requires maintenance. Your swim spa warranty does not cover the cost of providing access for service.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR OUTDOOR INSTALLATION
Again, proper planning will increase your total enjoyment factor with your new swim spa. Listed below are some additional items to consider when planning your installation.
• How swim spa will complement landscaping
and vice versa
• View from inside swim spa and view of swim
spa from inside of home
• Exposure to sunlight and shading from trees
• Privacy
• Getting to swim spa from house and return
• Proximity to dressing rooms and bathrooms
• Storage for swim spa chemicals
• Local building codes (if applicable)
• Power cable
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR INDOOR INSTALLATION
Installing your swim spa indoors creates an entirely different set of considerations.
• Work with your Master Spas dealer and
contractor to insure all local building, electri­cal and plumbing codes are met
• Plan for a floor drain to drain off excess water
and for draining and cleaning your swim spa
• A ventilation fan may be necessary due to high humidity created by your swim spa
• Finished material in your swim spa room should also be capable of withstanding increased humidity

SITE PREPARATION / GENERAL GUIDELINES
GUIDELINES FOR PARTIALLY OR FULLY RECESSED INSTALLATION
Swim Spas manufactured by Master Spas, Inc. are designed to be installed in a variety of settings. One of which is installing below grade. Should a swim spa be installed below the level of the site drainage system (below grade), a system for preventing water collecting and pooling must be designed based on the requirements of the local authority having jurisdiction. The drainage system must be designed based on things such as rainfall, water runoff, splashing, draining the swim spa, etc. that could potentially feed the below grade area with water. Where located in designated floodways, additional attention to maximum water load entering the area below grade must be addressed to prevent water from accumulating below grade at all times. It is generally recom­mended that the swim spa be installed above grade because the swim spa is not designed to be submerged in water. When a proper drainage system is designed and proper ventilation is planned based on the characteristics of the site, installing the swim spa below grade is an accepted method of installation.
• The unit is self-supporting when placed on a surface designed to support the full load of the swim spa (see Surface/Pad Requirements). Do not backfill with sand, gravel, or earth. Doing so will void the warranty.
• Plan for complete drainage so that water accumulation drains away from the swim spa perimeter and standing water never reaches the electrical equipment.
• Plan for appropriate ventilation to remove moisture accumulation and prevent equipment overheat.
• Provide a minimum of 3 feet service area around the perimeter of the unit. Site access issues are not covered by the product warranty.
• The unit is not designed to be submerged in water. Water entering the equipment area creates many hazards and resulting damage will not be covered by the product warranty.
• Make sure that the surroundings do not create any additional hazards.
• Surfaces placed around the unit should also be evaluated for walking/slipping hazards from standing water. Proper drainage is vital to the installation of a below grade installation.
• Check all building, electrical, and plumbing codes with the authority having jurisdiction to ensure that your installation is in compliance with all local codes.
• Additional consideration needs to be made when installing unit in designed floodways.
• Verify that site specific drainage systems such as down spouts are not going to feed the area below grade.
• Below grade drainage system needs to be evaluated based on area specific rainfall. One size does not fit all so an analysis by a qualified, local engineer to ensure proper drainage of all sourc­es of water is a must when installing below grade.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONSINSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Put swim spa in final position that allows for access to equipment and swim spa components.
2. Remove skirt panels to access the electrical connections inside the swim spa. The junction box
(MP Swim Spas Only), swim spa control system(s) and majority of the equipment in your swim spa can be accessed by removing access panels “A” and “B”.
Slice Valve and Pump Union
3. Be sure all pump and heater unions are secure. Each pump has
2 unions and the heater has 2 unions. A newly delivered swim spa may have loose unions caused in transporting the swim spa. Check that all slice valves are open, in the up position. The slice valves may become closed during transportation of the swim spa.
4. Fill the swim spa to the “minimum safe water level” sticker. This sticker is typically located
on the shell of the swim spa near the filter area. On the Momentum swim spa model with a clear acrylic divider, it is recommended that the swim side be filled first and then the spa side. When draining the swim spa always drain the spa side before draining the swim side.
5. Turn on power to the swim spa. If your swim
spa is equipped with two electrical supplies, make sure that they are both turned on. The swim spa will go through its priming mode. This lasts approximately 5 minutes. The pur­pose of the priming mode is to help insure
that the jet pumps have been primed with water and are ready to operate. It may be necessary in some instances to bleed air from the jet pumps in your swim spa, if after the priming mode the swim spa pumps run but do not move water the pump may have an air lock.
Due to the nature of water flow and hydro-therapy pumps, please be advised that air locking
of pumps may occur. Master Spas, Inc. has taken measures to reduce the possibility of this, but it still may occur, especially after filling the swim spa. This is not a service covered by the warranty and service charges may apply.
To relieve an airlock situation, loosen the pump union on the discharge of the pump. This
pump union is indicated by an arrow in the picture above. Water should leak out of the union once the air has been removed. Tighten the union and test the pump for proper operation. Repeat this process if needed.
NOTE: Upon power up, the propulsion system may mix water with air for up to several min-
utes until all of the air is pulled from the propulsion chamber. The propulsion system may be noisy during this time. This is normal.
6. Be sure the jets in your swim spa are open.
7. Adjust water chemistry according to the instructions provided in the “Water Maintenance”
section.
8. Your swim spa water will heat approximately 1°F (0.5°C) per hour with the cover closed, on
average. Times may vary.

The EcoPur® Charge is made from Master Spa’s patented filtration fabric. This fabric is wound tightly into a nautilus master core, creating a catalytic cell. The nautilus fabric cell is encased by a unique “spring core” that allows for maximum flow and water “charging”. As water comes in contact with the EcoPur® Charge Master Core, a chemical reaction causes zinc and cop­per hydroxides to form in controlled amounts. Like Mother Nature, when controlled releases of copper and zinc oxides are carried into the filtered water, they kill bacteria and provide hostile conditions for algae and fungal growth. Using EcoPur® Charge helps reduce the amount of chemi­cals needed, therefore safeguarding the hot tub’s plumbing and equipment because pipes are pro­tected against the corrosive effects of chlorine. EcoPur® Charge Master Core Technology, another exclusive design by Master Spas.

WATER CHEMISTRY TERMS YOU SHOULD KNOW
Before jumping into Water Maintenance, here are some terms to help you.
1. Parts per million, or ppm: This is a form of measurement used in most pool or swim spa
chemical readings. Best described as any one million like items of equal size and make up, next to one unlike item, but of equal size. This would be one part per million.
3. Total Alkalinity: This is a measurement of the ability of the water to resist changes in pH. Put another way, it is the water’s ability to maintain proper pH. Total alkalinity is measured in parts per million from 0 to 400 plus, with 100 to 120 ppm being the best range for swim spas. With low alkalinity, the pH will flip, or change back and forth, and be hard to control. With high alkalinity it becomes extremely difficult to change the pH.
4. pH or potential hydrogen: This is a measurement of the active acidity in the water, or it is the measurement of the concentration of active hydrogen ions in the water. The greater the concentration of active hydrogen ions, the lower the pH. pH is not measured in parts per million, but on a scale from 0 to 14, with 7 being the neutral. The pH in swim spas should be ideally maintained between 7.4 to 7.6. It should never be below 7.2 or above 7.8. With low pH, the results can be corroded metals, etched and stained plaster stained fiberglass or acrylic, eye / skin irritation, rapid chlorine or bromine loss, and total alkalinity destruction. With high pH, the results can be cloudy water, eye / skin irritation, scale formation and poor chlorine or bromine efficiency.
5. Shocking: This is when you add either extra chlorine (superchlorinate) by raising the chlorine level above 8 ppm, or add a non-chlorine /oxidizer (potassium monoperoxysulfate or potassi­um monopersulfate) to burn off the chloramines or bromamines. A non-chlorine /oxidizer acts by releasing oxygen in the water, which serves the same function as chlorine. The advantage to using non-chlorine /oxidizer, is you can enter the water within 15 minutes after application. Using chlorine, you must wait until the total chlorine reading is below 5 ppm. One thing to remember, a non-chlorine /oxidizer will not kill bacteria or disinfect.
6. Sequestering: This can be defined as the ability to form a chemical complex which remains in solution, despite the presence of a precipitating agent (i.e. calcium and metals). Common names for sequestering chemicals are; minquest, stain and scale control, metal-x, spa defend­er, spa metal gone, (etc.).
7. Filtration: Filters are necessary to remove particles of dust, dirt, algae, etc. that are continu­ously entering the water. If the swim spa is not operated long enough each day for the filter to do a proper job, this puts a burden on the chemicals, causing extra expense. Filtration time will depend on the water capacity, pump and filter size and, of course, bather load. Spare filter cartridges should be kept on hand to make it easy to frequently clean the cartridge without the need for a long shut down. This will also allow the cartridge to dry out between usages, which will increase the cartridge life span as much as twice. Replace the cartridge when the pleats begin to deteriorate. Cartridge cleaning should be done a minimum of once a month. More often with a heavy bather load.
23DO NOT DIVE.
8. Sanitizers: This is what kills the germs and bacteria that enter the water from the environment and the human body.
A. Chlorine
1. Only one type is approved for swim spa use. Sodium dichlor which is granular, fast
dissolving and pH neutral chlorine.
2. Chlorine is an immediate sanitizer and will be added as needed to maintain free chlo-
rine levels between 2.0 to 4.0 ppm..
B. Bromine (Note: Bromine use is not recommended with Eco Pur filters.)
1. Two types of tablets.
a. Hydrotech b. Lonza
2. Bromine is a slow dissolve chemical and may take a few days to develop a reserve
or reading in the water. Bromine levels should be maintained between 2.0 to 4.0 ppm.
9. Total dissolved solids (TDS): Materials that have been dissolved by the water. i.e. Like what happens when you put sugar in coffee or tea.
10. Useful life of water (in days): Water should be drained at least once every 180 days. Useful life may vary by usage and bather load.
11. Defoamer: Foaming may be caused by body oils, cosmetics, lotions, surface cleaners, high pH or algeacides as well as other organic materials. Low levels of calcium or sanitizer can also cause foaming. Also, double rinse your bathing suits as they will hold residual soap after being washed.
12. Calcium hardness: Water that is too hard (over 250 ppm) can promote scale formation in components and on swim spa surface. Water that is too low (below 150 ppm) may also shorten the life of metal components on the swim spa.
NOTE: Always leave swim spa cover open for 15 minutes after adding chemicals to prevent
the off gas from damaging your swim spa cover, swim spa pillows, stainless steel hardware and other critical parts.
WATER CHEMISTRY TERMS YOU SHOULD KNOW
24DO NOT DIVE.
WHY ARE CHEMICALS IMPORTANT IN A SWIM SPA
1. Evaporation:
As water evaporates, only pure water evaporates, leaving the salts, minerals, metals, and any
unused chemicals behind. Adding water adds more salts, minerals, and metals. In time, the water can become saturated with these dissolved solids and can cause stains or scale to form on the walls of the swim spa or a scale build up inside the equipment. Colored or cloudy water, and possible corrosion of plumbing and fittings may also occur.
2. Heat:
Heat causes much quicker evaporation and also will cause minerals and metals to precipitate
out of solution.
3. Air:
Dust and other airborne contaminants are introduced into the swim spa.
4. Environment:
The environment surrounding the swim spa can also impact the water quality. Items such as
pollen, grass, sand, dirt, lawn fertilizer, airborne dust, insects, leaves, and pets can all affect the water quality of the swim spa.
5. Bathers:
As the swim spa is used, bathers introduce contaminants to the water. Increased bather
load, length of use and frequency will increase the amounts of contaminants added in to the water.
Remember:
The maintenance routines set forth in this manual may need to be adjusted depending on bather load and how much the swim spa is being used.
25DO NOT DIVE.
Step 1: Your swim spa should be filled using a Pre-filter, which can be obtained from your local
dealer. This Pre-filter will help remove many of the minerals existing in the water, which will make adjusting the water balance easier after a new fill. Never use more then 50% softened water when filling the swim spa.
Step 2: During the initial filling of the swim spa, add a sequestering agent to combat sus-
pended minerals in the water. The agents are sold under many different names such as Mineral Clear, or Metal Protect. Allow water to circulate and filter for at least 30 min­utes (or per bottle recommendations) before adding any other chemicals.
Step 3: Test water for pH, total Alkalinity, and Calcium hardness. The pH should be 7.4 - 7.6
and the total Alkalinity 100 - 120 ppm. Calcium hardness levels should be maintained between 150 and 250 ppm (part per million).
Step 4: Adjust pH and total Alkalinity (TA) utilizing the directions on the chemical bottles.
Wait 15 minutes, test and adjust if necessary.
Step 5: It may be necessary to retest and add additional chemicals to get to the proper levels
in Step 3.
Step 6: Add concentrated chlorinating granules* (sodium Dichlor-s-triazinetreone) to reach a
Free Chlorine level of 5 to 8 ppm on initial start up to begin sanitizing the swim spa water. Bathers should not enter the swim spa until the chlorine levels drop below 5.0 ppm. Always refer to the chemical manufactures dosage recommendations listed on the container. It is important not to add the chlorinating granules until the pH, alkalin­ity and calcium hardness have been adjusted to their proper levels.
*SPECIAL NOTE:
We recommend a minimum level of 2.0 ppm residual free chlorine be maintained in swim spa water. Always refer to the chemical manufacturer’s dosage recommendations listed on the container.
When adding chlorine or non-chlorine shock/oxidizer always broadcast across the water while the pumps are running.
The quantities of sanitizer and oxidizer shown in this manual are for 500 gallons and may have to be adjusted depending on the actual amount of water that your swim spa holds. See the specifications section of this manual for the correct gallons of your swim spa.
The concentration of active ingredients in swim spa chemicals varies by manufacturer. The amounts of sanitizer suggested in this manual are based on swim spa chemicals that have the active ingredient percentages listed below:
Chlorine Non-Chlorine Shock/ Oxidizer Active ingredient: Active ingredient:
Sodium dichlor ................................. 99% Potassium peroxymonosulfate ....................... 42.8%

WATER MAINTENANCE – START-UP
26DO NOT DIVE.
BEFORE EACH USE
Check swim spa water with a test strip for proper sanitation levels and adjust accordingly to the proper levels. Free chlorine level should be 2.0 - 4.0 ppm. Appropriate levels should be present before use of the swim spa. Bathers should not enter the swim spa if total chlorine levels are above
5.0 ppm or if free chlorine levels are below 2.0 ppm.
ONCE A WEEK
Add non-chlorine shock/oxidizer* or chlorine* to swim spa to help maintain the water quality.
3 TIMES A WEEK
Test water using chemical test strips. Adjust sanitizer, pH and Alkalinity accordingly. The total alka­linity should be between 100 - 120 ppm and the PH should be between 7.4 - 7.6. If free chlorine level measures less than total chlorine level, additional non-chlorine shock/oxidizer* treatment is necessary.
ONCE A MONTH
Soak your regular filter elements overnight in a container with swim spa Filter Cleaner and then rinse with clean water. For best results, allow the filter to dry before re-inserting. (The Eco Pur™ mineral element should never be cleaned in a filter cleaner. Just rinse with water.) When cleaning filters, be sure to never have the pumps (including the circulation pump) running without the filters in place. Failure to do so may result in debris being drawn into the pumps causing unwarranted damage.
See the “clean your filter elements” in the maintenance section of this manual for more
information.
EVERY 180 DAYS
Drain and refill your swim spa with fresh water, install a new Eco Pur™ filter element, clean the regular filter, and repeat start up procedure. The regular filter should be replaced at least once every year.
AFTER EACH USE
Add non-chlorine shock/oxidizer* or chlorine* to the swim spa water.

WATER MAINTENANCE – SCHEDULE
AS NEEDED
If water looks hazy, check PH and Total Alkilinity, and treat with chlorine*. Always refer to the chemical manufactures dosage recommendations listed on the container. Free chlorine levels should be maintained between 2.0 - 4.0 ppm.
These are general recommendations for water maintenance that may vary by usage and bather load. Depending on bather load and frequency of use, drain and refill times may vary as well as the frequency of cleaning your filters.
A defoamer may be used when excessive foaming occurs. Over use of a defoamer will result in cloudy, milky water.
USE ONLY SWIM SPA CHEMICALS
Do not use chemicals designed for use in swimming pools. Swim spa chemicals are the same as spa chemicals.
With a swim spa you are working with a small volume of hot water compared to a large volume of relatively cool water in a swimming pool. Because of this chemicals will have a shorted life span and bacteria can grow more quickly than in a swimming pool. A swim spa is less forgiving then a pool and requires that whatever is put into it have a pH as close to neutral as possible. That is why only chemicals made for swim spas should be used. Always refer to the chemical manufactures dosage recommendations listed on the container.
*SPECIAL NOTE:
We recommend a minimum level of 2.0 ppm residual free chlorine be maintained in swim spa water. Always refer to the chemical manufacturer’s dosage recommendations listed on the container.

Regular Maintenance Procedures
Note: These are maintenance procedures are the responsibility of the swim spa owner to perform. These procedures are not covered by the swim spa warranty.
CLEANING JETS
The majority of jets in your swim spa can individually be turned on/off. If any of these jets become hard to turn, it will be necessary to remove the jet to clean it as grit/sand and mineral deposit may be present.
The jets in your swim spa can be removed for cleaning by unscrewing them (counter clockwise) and then pulling out the jet.
To Clean Jets
Place the jet(s) in a container, fully immerse in white vinegar. Let the jet(s) soak overnight and then rinse with water. It may be necessary to clean grit and deposits from the white jet body (mounted in the swim spa shell) by using a small bristled brush.
CLEANING DIVERTER VALVES
Mineral deposits, grit and sand may get into the internal parts of the diverter valves over time. The diverter valves may become difficult to turn or not turn at all.
Remove the handle from the top of diverter valve by gently prying up on both sides of the handle assembly at the same time.
Turn the cap piece counter clockwise. It may be necessary to put a clean towel over the cap and turn it with a wrench.
Once loose, the cap and handle can be pulled up out of the white plumbing fitting. Wipe down the internal piece that attaches to the cap and handle. Soak the cap and handle in white vinegar. The white plumbing fitting should also be wiped down. If the surface of the white plumbing has
become too abrasive, you can take wet, fine sandpaper and smooth it out. It is also helpful to use a lubricant (use silicone based, not petroleum based) to allow for an easier turn of the diverter handle.
Rinse the diverter internals and reassemble. In the future, it is helpful to turn the diverter valve only when the pump is not on. Cleaning your
diverter valve should occur every time you drain your swim spa.
DRAINING YOUR SWIM SPA
Due to the physical size of the swim spa, we recommend draining your swim spa with a submers­ible sump pump. Draining your swim spa with a conventional swim spa drain is not a reasonable option. When draining the Momentum 80 swim spa always drain the water from the spa side before draining the swim side.
30DO NOT DIVE.
REGULAR MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
Note: These are maintenance procedures are the responsibility of the swim spa owner to perform. These procedures are not covered by the swim spa warranty.
CARE OF YOUR SWIM SPA COVER
Always cover your swim spa when not in use with an approved insulating swim spa cover by Master Spas. This will greatly reduce energy consumption and will cause swim spa water to heat more rap­idly. Water loss and chemical usage will also be reduced.
• Be sure to lock down all straps on cover after each use to prevent wind damage.
• Do not allow swim spa to sit uncovered in direct sunlight. This may cause damage to exposed sur
-
faces of swim spa and possible discoloration of swim spa fittings.
• Periodically hose off both sides of swim spa cover for maximum life of cover. Once a month use a vinyl cleaner and conditioner on the vinyl portion of your cover. Rinse residue off.
• Keep cover open for 15 min. after adding chemicals to prevent off gas damage.
NOTE: If your swim spa is going to be left empty for prolonged periods, do not replace cover directly
on surface of swim spa. Place 2”-3” blocks between cover and swim spa. This allows for ade
-
quate ventilation of cover and swim spa.
NOTE: The cover warranty is not part of the limited warranty provided with the swim spa. It is pro-
vided through the cover manufacturer and may not be through Master Spas. Check the tags and labeling on your cover to verify manufacturer and refer to the manufacturer’s care, main­tenance and warranty information. Your dealer can help provide you with these details.
NOTE: Always turn water feature valve down so that the water features do not hit the cover when
the cover is closed.
CARE OF YOUR SWIM SPA CABINET
The swim spa cabinet is made from a UV resistant Polymer material. The cabinet requires only peri­odic cleaning with a stream of water from a garden hose.
FILTER CLEANING
NOTE: Never operate the swim spa without the filters installed. Damage to the pumps and other
components could result from operation without filters installed.
1. Turn power off to the swim spa.
2. Remove any large or floating debris from the filter area. For the H2X Therapool models, remove
filter lid located on top of filter weir to access filters and skip to step 6.
3. Allow the weir door to fall back towards the filters in order to remove the filter housing.
4. Lift up on the plastic housing and the entire housing will pop out.
NOTE: When lifting the housing, be careful not to lift too far, as you could break the floating weir
door. Damage to weir door is not warranted.
5. Pull the plastic skimmer plate out from the filter basket in order to gain access to the filters.
6. Unscrew the filter cartridges and remove for cleaning.
7. The filters should be rinsed off and the non-Eco-Pur filter(s) (blue filter) should be soaked in a car
-
tridge cleaner. Follow applicable cartridge cleaner instructions.
8. Re-install filters and replace weir housing or filter lid.
NOTE: Do not soak the Eco-Pur filter in a filter cartridge cleaner. Rinse off only. NOTE: Eco-Pur filters should be replaced every 6 months. Non Eco-Pur filters should be replaced
every 12 months or as necessary depending on water quality, filter maintenance and bather load.
31DO NOT DIVE.
REGULAR MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
Note: These are maintenance procedures are the responsibility of the swim spa owner to perform. These procedures are not covered by the swim spa warranty.
CARE OF LAMINAR FLOW JETS:
• In order to keep your Laminar Flow Jets operating properly, follow these instructions in sequence:
- Turn off Laminar Flow Jets
- Remove outer ring by turning face counter clockwise
- Remove internal Jet insert with a pair of needle nose pliers
- Clean plastic filter at the back of the Jet insert so all holes are free of debris
- Reinstall Jet insert and outer ring
NOTE: To prevent premature failure of your swim spa cover, always turn Laminar Flow Jets down so that they do not hit the cover when the cover is closed. You do not want to completely turn jets off. Doing so may cause a build up of stagnant water in the water line if not used often.
CARE OF YOUR OZONE SYSTEM:
The ozone hose and check valve connecting between the ozone generator and ozone injector should be inspected and/or replaced, if necessary, every 12 months. Depending on conditions of the air which is being brought in to the ozone generator, the ozone hose and check valve can wear more rapidly. This regular maintenance is not covered under the swim spa warranty. Your Master Spas Dealer or Service Center can be contacted to schedule this maintenance.

STAINLESS STEEL
Master Spas uses stainless steel in a number of our swim spas. Its lasting beauty and resistance to corrosion make it an excellent material for handrails and jets faces.
With the proper care it will keep its luster for many years. All stainless steel can corrode given the right circumstances so we have provided a guide to help you keep the stainless components in your swim spa looking nice.
Stainless steel derives its ability to resist corrosion by forming a very thin transparent coating on the surface when exposed to oxygen. This coating can be damaged by abrasive materials such as steel wool, sand paper, and other cleaning materials that are abrasive. Chlorine salts, sulfides, or other rusting metals can also erode this thin coating exposing the metal to corrosion.
The best defense to combat corrosion on stainless steel components in your swim spa is make sure that it is kept clean and free of any chemical build up.
Always:
• Clean frequently with clear clean water.
• Remove any rust spots as soon as they appear with vinegar or a brass, silver, or chrome cleaner.
• Use a good car cleaning wax for extra protection.
• Leave cover removed for at least 15 minutes after adding chemicals to the swim spa water.
Never:
• Clean with mineral acids or bleaches.
• Clean with steel wool or any other abrasive material.
• Leave in contact with iron, steel any other metals.
• Close the cover immediately after adding chemicals to the water.
NOTE: Failure to take proper care of the stainless steel components could result with
them rusting. Rusting is not covered by the warranty.
NOTE: Do not cover the swim spa for 15 minutes after adding chemicals as the off gas
can cause unwarranted damage. Larger dosages can require longer lengths of time to off gas. It is recommended to check swim spa water more frequently to allow small dosages be added as necessary versus large dosages being added less often.

Regular Maintenance Procedures
Note: These are maintenance procedures are the responsibility of the swim spa owner to perform. These procedures are not covered by the swim spa warranty.
Your swim spa requires periodic draining and cleaning to ensure a safe, healthy environment. It is recommended that you clean your swim spa at least every 180 days. Heavy bather load will require cleaning it more often.
DRAIN YOUR SWIM SPA
CARE & CLEANING OF SWIM SPA SURFACE
• With a soft cloth, wipe down the swim spa surface with a non-abrasive swim spa surface cleaner that may be purchased through your local dealer. Do not use paper towels. Be sure to rinse resi­due from swim spa surface.
• If your swim spa has developed an oily or chalky residue at the waterline it may require special treatment. Consult your dealer.
• A submersible pump and hose should be used for draining.
• For the Momentum swim spa, drain the swim spa end first and then the swim end.
Always use an approved insulating swim spa cover by Master Spas to cover your swim spa when not in use, especially in outdoor installations where the swim spa is exposed to weather conditions and sun. Constant, prolonged exposure and use of unapproved or non-insulating swim spa cover can result in damage to swim spa surface which would not be warranted.
CLEAN THE ACRYLIC DIVIDER (Momentum)
• The surface should be first flushed with clean water to remove loose abrasive particles. The clear acrylic sheet should then be gently sponged with a mild detergent/water solution and finally rinsed with clean water. Care must be taken not to leave any of the soap residue in the swim spa as it could cause the swim spa water to foam during operation.
• Drying can be done with a clean soft cotton towel. Avoid hard rough cloths or paper towels since they can put fine scratches on the acrylic surface.
• Do not use any aggressive solvents (lacquer thinner, gasoline, acetone and etc.) on the clear acrylic sheet. These products can cause damage to the sheet that may not be visible until days or weeks later.
• Window glass cleaning compounds are not recommended. Cleaning products that contain any type of abrasive material should not be used.
REFILL YOUR SWIM SPA
• When filling the Momentum swim spa always fill the swim side of the unit before filling the spa side.
• Fill the swim spa with water and be sure that water level is above the skimmer opening at the minimum safe water level sticker.
• Refer to the start-up section for specific instructions.

Regular Maintenance Procedures
CLEAN YOUR FILTER ELEMENTS
• The filter elements are one of the most important components of your swim spa. Not only are they essential for clean water, but they also extend the life of the swim spa equipment. Your fil­ter elements should be cleaned on a regular basis, once a month on average with normal usage. With heavy use the filters may need to be cleaned more often.
• Turn off the swim spa before servicing filters. Never leave to the swim spa running when remov­ing the filters. Debris can be pulled into the plumbing system and cause unwarranted damage.
• Periodically in between monthly cleaning, spray each standard or outer filter element with a gar­den hose to help remove buildup from filter media surface. Monthly, the standard or outer filter elements should be soaked in a filter cleaner compound. Check with your dealer for details on cleaning and/or filter replacement recommendations. Do not soak the Eco Pur filter cartridge in any cleaners.
• Re-install filter elements.
• Be sure water level is adequate.
• Turn swim spa on.
CARE OF YOUR SWIM SPA PILLOWS
• Your swim spa pillows need to be rinsed periodically to remove any chemical residue. This should help to eliminate pillows becoming stiff and discolored.
• If the swim spa will not be used for a period of time, the pillows should be removed to extend their useful life.
NOTE: Do not cover the swim spa for 15 minutes after adding chemicals as the off gas can cause damage.

SWIM SPA TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
Note: For wiring outside of U.S. and Canada, GFCI may be referred to as a RCD (residual current device). Be sure all local electrical codes are followed.
NOTHING ON THE SWIM SPA OPERATES
1.
Check the control panel display for any messages. If there is a message, refer to the diagnostic sec­tion on that model swim spa. There, you will find the meaning of the message and what action is to be taken.
2. If there is no message on the control panel, check, and reset the GFCI breaker.
The swim spa GFCI breaker or disconnect should be located in a weather proof box close to the swim spa.
If the swim spa does not respond, contact your local service company.
PUMP(S) DO NOT OPERATE -
1. Press the “Jets” button on your control panel.
If you hear the pumps trying to operate: A. Check that all the slice valves are open. B. Pump may need to be primed. C. Check that the air controls are open.
If you do not hear anything from the pump, contact your local service company.
POOR JET PERFORMANCE
1. Make sure pump is operating
2. Check that the water level is adequate (up to minimum safe water level side)
3. Make sure the jets are open and the air controls are open.
4. Check for dirty filters. Clean if necessary.

SWIM SPA NOT HEATING
If the swim spas heater has failed, the majority of the time it will trip the GFCI breaker. If the swim spa is not heating and has not tripped the breaker, please follow these steps:
1. Check the control panel for diagnostic messages. Refer to your swim spa models diagnostic mes-
sage area in previous sections. Follow steps to alleviate message.
2. Check water set temperature at control panel.
3. Check for dirty filters. Clean if necessary.
4. Check the “heat mode” that the swim spa is set in. The swim spa should be set in the standard
mode or ready mode depending on the model.
5. Check the control panel for light indicator. Wait a reasonable amount of time (approximately 1
hour) to see if the water temperature is rising.
6. Check to make sure that the pump is primed and all slice valves are open.
7. Reset power to the swim spa at GFCI breaker.
8. If swim spa is still not heating, contact your dealer for service.
GFCI IS TRIPPING
A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is required by the National Electrical Code for your protec­tion. The tripping of the GFCI may be caused by a component on the swim spa or by an electrical problem. Electrical problems include but are not limited to, a faulty GFCI breaker, swim spa com­ponent, power fluctuations, or improper wiring. If this is a new electrical service and GFCI installa­tion, an instantly tripping GFCI may likely be caused by improper wiring of the load neutral from the GFCI to the swim spa. It may be necessary to contact an electrician if your dealer recommends

Winterizing & Storing Your SWIM Spa
Your swim spa is designed to be used year round in any type of climate. * However, if you decide you don’t want to use your swim spa in the winter, you must drain it
and follow the winterizing steps listed below:
1.
Due to the physical size of the swim spa, we recommend draining your swim spa with a submersable
sump pump. Draining your swim spa with a conventional swim spa drain
is not a reasonable option.
2. Use a shop vac to get all standing water out of your unit.
3. Remove access panels from equipment area.
4. Loosen all pump unions
5. Remove winterizing plug from face of the pump(s) where applicable.
6. Using your shop vac in a blowing mode, insert the hose into the nozzle of each jet and blow
the trapped water from the lines into the interior of the swim spa. A non-toxic, RV water line type antifreeze can be used and added to jets in each seat around your swim spa to help pre­vent freeze damage from occurring. Be sure to thoroughly flush the system before startup.
7. After this is completed, use the shop vac to remove any standing water in the swim spa and in the equipment area.
8. Clean the swim spa with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive swim spa surface cleaner.
9. Replace access panels.
10. Cover swim spa to prevent water from entering the swim spa.
* If you decide to winterize your swim spa, we recommend that you periodically check the swim
spa throughout the winter to assure water is not entering the swim spa through or around the swim spa cover.
* Disclaimer: Master Spas does not recommend winterizing your swim spa. If you choose to do so,
any damage that may result is not covered under the swim spa warranty.
STORING YOUR SWIM SPA
The swim spa shell should never be left unprotected and uninsulated while being stored. Clear plastic wrap or similar material should never be used to cover/protect the swim spa.
Prolonged, direct sun heat can damage the surfaces of the swim spa along with any components on the swim spas surface. Always keep the swim spa covered and protected with an insulating swim spa cover. Resulting damage such as cracking in the shell surface or warped or discolored components on the swim spa would not be warranted.
An empty swim spa should never be exposed to temperatures below 0°F (-18°C) after delivery as extreme cold can cause shell damage. This includes storage and draining (winterizing). If your swim spa will be exposed to these temperatures, keep the unit filled and running. If you do not plan to use your swim spa, you can set the swim spa to the lowest temperature setting allowed by the control system.
Failure to adhere to these guidelines will void the warranty.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Note: Some of the above components may be optional or not available with every swim spa model.
See the swim spa specification section of this owner’s manual for the control system installed in your swim spa.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
HAVE YOUR ELECTRICIAN READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION
BEFORE INSTALLATION BEGINS
Electrical connections made improperly, or the use of wire gauge sizes for incurring power which are too small, may continually blow fuses in the electrical equipment box, may damage the internal electrical controls and components, may be unsafe and in any case will void your warranty.
It is the responsibility of the swim spa owner to ensure that electrical connec­tions are made by a qualified electrician in accordance with codes regulated by the authority having jurisdiction at the time of installation.
These connections must be made in accordance with the wiring diagrams found inside the control box and in this manual. This equipment has been designed to operate on and requires 230V, 50Hz service. Make sure that power is not applied while performing any electrical installation. A bonding lug for bonding copper wire has been provided on the electrical equipment pack to allow connection to local ground points. The ground wire must be at least 8 AWG (8.36mm2 copper wire unless local or state codes require a heavier gauge wire) and must be connected securely to a grounded metal structure such as a cold water pipe. See below chart for wire size conversion. All Master Spas equipment packs are wired for 230 VAC only. The only electrical supply for your swim spa must include a switch or circuit breaker to open all non-grounded supply conductors to comply with BS7671 (or other local jurisdiction code or law). The disconnect must be readily accessible to the swim spa occupants, but installed at least five feet from the swim spa. Residual Current Device (RCD) must be used to comply with this manual, BS 7671, or any local electrical code or law requirements. A residual current is a current leak from any one of the supply conductors to ground. An RCD is designed to automatically shut off power to a piece of equipment when a ground fault is detected.
Route the cable into the equipment area for final hook-up to terminals inside the control pack or junction box. The swim spa must be hooked up to a “dedicated” breaker(s) and RCD. The term “dedicated” means the electrical circuit for the swim spa is not being used for any other electrical items (patio lights, appliances, garage circuits, etc.). If the swim spa is connected to a non-dedicated circuit, over­loading will result in “nuisance tripping” which requires resetting of the breaker switch at the house electrical panel.

A residual current device (RCD, or R.C.D. henceforth) is the generic term for a device that monitors the current in the line conductor and the neutral conductor in an earthed system.
In a circuit that’s operating properly, the vector sum of the live and neutral current values added together will be zero. Current flowing to earth, due to a line earth fault, will return via the earth conductor, and regardless of load conditions, will be registered as a fault. This current flow will give rise to a residual current that will be detected by the device. If the residual current exceeds the rated sensitivity of the RCD, it will automatically activate a tripping of the faulty circuit.
Two Pole RCD Four Pole RCD
Typical specifications are as follows:
Residual Current Devices (RCDs) range Sensitivity – from 10 to 500mA Voltage – 2 poles: 230V; 3/4 poles:
230/400V Connection capacity
- 25A: 6/10 mm2 (flexible/rigid cable)

The Spa Screen shows all available equipment to control, as well as other features, in one easy-to­navigate screen. The display shows icons that are related to the equipment installed on a particular swim spa model, so this screen may change depending on the swim spa.
Touch a button to select an individual device. The device that is chosen is highlighted with a white outline.
Some devices, like pumps, may have more than one ON state, so the icon will change to reflect the state that the equipment is in. Below are some examples of 2-speed Pump indicators.
If the Swim spa has a 24 hour Circ Pump, a Circ Pump Icon will appear to indicate its activity, but outside of Priming Mode, the 24 hour Circ Pump cannot be controlled directly.
NOTE: The icon for the 24 hour pump (if so equipped) that is associated with the heater will have a red glow in the center when the heater is running.
SCENES
The scenes area will allow you to preset any of the devices to operate when the scene is activated. There are four different scenes that can be preset. For example if you would like all of the pumps to turn on at the same time: turn on the pumps, access the scenes area and highlight #1. Once this is set anytime you highlight the #1 scene all of the pumps will activate. To store a specific scene tap and hold the highlighted scene for 5 seconds until the display shows “scene stored” in the bottom left corner.

In order for the swim spa to heat, a pump needs to circulate water through the heater. REST Mode will only allow heating during programmed filter cycles. Ready Mode will allow heating any time the water temperature drops below the set temperature.
READY-IN-REST MODE
READY/REST appears in the display if the swim spa is in Rest Mode and the Jets 1 Button is touched. It is assumed that the swim spa is being used and will heat to set temperature. After 1 hour, the System will revert to Rest Mode. This mode can also be reset by entering the Settings Menu and changing the Heat Mode.

Initial Start-Up
PREPARATION AND FILLING
Fill the swim spa to its correct operating level. Be sure to open all valves and jets in the plumbing system before filling to allow as much air as possible to escape from the plumbing and the control system during the filling process.
PRIMING MODE
After the initial start-up sequence, the control will enter Priming Mode and display a Priming Mode screen. Only pump icons appear on the priming mode screen. The sys­tem will automatically begin normal heating and filtering at the end of the priming mode, which lasts 4-5 minutes. During the priming mode, the heater is disabled to allow the priming process to be completed without the possibil­ity of energizing the heater under low-flow or no-flow conditions. Nothing comes on automatically, but the pump(s) can be activated by touching the “Jet” buttons.
Manually exit Priming Mode by touching the “Back” Button.
PRIMING THE PUMPS
As soon as the Priming Mode screen appears on the panel, touch the “Jets 1” button once to start Pump 1 in low-speed and then again to switch to high-speed. Also, touch the other pumps, to turn them on. The pumps should be running in high-speed to facilitate priming. If the pumps have not primed after 2 minutes, and water is not flowing from the jets in the swim spa, do not allow the pumps to continue to run. Turn off the pumps and repeat the process. Note: Turning the power off and back on again will initiate a new pump priming session. Sometimes momentarily turning the pump off and on will help it to prime. Do not do this more than 5 times. If the pump(s) will not prime, the pump(s) will need relieved of an air lock. See Installation Instructions for infor­mation on bleeding air from a pump to relieve an air lock. If you need further assistance, your swim spa dealer can be contacted. Regular maintenance procedures would not be covered under the swim spa warranty.
Important: A pump should not be allowed to run without priming for more than 2 minutes. Under NO circumstances should a pump be allowed to run without priming beyond the end of the 4-5 minute priming mode. Doing so may cause damage to the pump and cause the system to energize the heater and go into an overheat condition.
EXITING PRIMING MODE
You can manually exit Priming Mode by touching the “Back” button on the Priming Mode Screen. Note that if you do not manually exit the priming mode as described above, the priming mode will be automatically terminated after 4-5 minutes. Be sure that the pump(s) have been primed by this time.
Once the system has exited Priming Mode, the top-side panel will display the Main Screen, but the display will not show the temperature yet, as shown below. This is because the system requires approximately 1 minute of water flowing through the heater to determine the water temperature and display it.

Swim spa BEHAVIOR
PUMPS
FILTRATION AND OZONE
The system is factory-programmed with one filter cycle that will run in the evening (assuming the time-of-day is properly set) when energy rates are often lower. The filter time and duration are programmable. A second filter cycle can be enabled as needed.
At the start of each filter cycle, the pumps will run briefly to purge the plumbing to maintain good water quality.
FREEZE PROTECTION
If the temperature sensors within the heater detect a low enough temperature, then the pumps automatically activate to provide freeze protection. The pumps will run either continuously or peri­odically depending on conditions. If the temperature sensors detect a drop to below 44°F/6.7°C within the heater, the pump will automatically activate to provide freeze protection. The equip­ment stays on until 4 minutes after the sensors detect that the swim spa temperature has risen to 45°F/7.2°C or higher.
CLEAN-UP CYCLE (OPTIONAL)
When a pump is turned on by a button touch, a clean-up cycle begins 30 minutes after the pump is turned off or times out. The pump and the ozone generator will run for 30 minutes or more, depending on the system.

TIME-OF-DAY
BE SURE TO SET THE TIME-OF-DAY
Setting the time-of-day is important for determining filtration times and other background fea­tures.
“Set Time” will appear on the display if no time-of-day is set in the memory. On the Settings Screen, select the Time-of-Day line. On the Time-of-Day screen, simply touch
the time to select the Hour, Minutes, AM/PM and 12/24 Hour segments. Use the Up and Down Buttons to make changes.
SAVING SETTINGS
The Time-of-Day screen is a simple, editable screen that illustrates a feature of the control that applies to all other editable screens as well.
When changes are made, touch the back button to save the setting or touch the cancel icon to exit without saving changes.
NOTE:
If power is interrupted to the system, Time-of-Day will be maintained for several days.

MAIN FILTRATION
Using the same navigation and adjustment as Setting the Time, Filter Cycles are set using a start time and a duration. Each setting can be adjusted in 15-minute increments. The panel calculates the end time and displays it automatically.
FILTER CYCLE 2 - OPTIONAL FILTRATION
Filter Cycle 2 is OFF by default. Simply touch the Filter Cycle 2 line in the highlighted area, and when “NO” is highlighted, press
Up or Down to toggle Filter Cycle 2 on and off. When Filter Cycle 2 is ON, it can be adjusted in the same manner as Filter Cycle 1.
It is possible to overlap Filter Cycle 1 and Filter Cycle 2, which will shorten overall filtration by the overlap amount.
PURGE CYCLES
In order to maintain sanitary conditions, as well as protect against freezing, the system will purge water from the respective plumbing by running briefly at the beginning of each filter cycle.
If the Filter Cycle 1 duration is set for 24 hours, enabling Filter Cycle 2 will initiate a purge when Filter Cycle 2 is programmed to begin.

Propulsion System Controls
THE PROPULSION SYSTEM
The unique belt-driven propulsion system provides the most consistent flow of water to swim and exercise against. This propulsion system is controlled by the revolutionary Swim Number(TM) System. Along with this, your MP Swim Spa is equipped with a WiFi module which allows con­trol of the system through our *Swim Number App (SNAPP). *SNAPP is available for iPad on the Apple store and allows you to build your own personal workouts.
The easy to operate propulsion control panel allows you not only to control the speed of the water flow but also to select programmed Smart Workouts.
*See Swim Number App (SNAPP) Instruction Manual for further information.
OPTIONAL EXERCISE EQUIPMENT ALL
The optional exercise equipment package makes it easy to exercise in your own back yard. There are shell mounted clips that are used to fasten the rowing equipment to the swim spa. These clips are located along the sides of your swim spa next to the grab rails that are placed around the perimeter of the swim area. Also available are ankle fins and exercise bells that will allow you to do resistance training. See your Master Spas dealer for details.
NOTE: DO NOT LEAVE EXERCISE EQUIPMENT INSIDE THE SWIM SPA WHEN NOT IN USE. DO NOT LEAVE EXERCISE EQUIPMENT OUTSIDE EXPOSED TO ULTRA VIOLET RAYS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE ABOVE GUIDELINES COULD RESULT IN INJURY.

WARNING:
BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE ON THE MAST3RPUR SYSTEM, MAKE SURE THE SWIM SPA IS SHUT DOWN.
a. UV Lamp Removal – See Figure 2.
If the Green Power Indicator is on, but the Blue UV Lamp Indicator is off, the UV lamp needs to be replaced. For maximum UV sanitation effect, replace the UV Lamp every 18 months.
i. Make sure the unit is disconnected from power and the lamp has cooled before starting
maintenance.
ii. Open the Spa Solar Eclipse by removing the two Enclosure Screws on the Upper Enclosure
Assembly and lifting it from the Enclosure Base.
iii. Disconnect the Lamp Connector attached to the lamp wires and place the Upper Enclosure
Assembly in a safe place.
iv. Gently pull the Lamp Wires till the top of the UV Lamp is out of the Lamp Retainer. Grasp
the white ceramic end of the UV Lamp and pull until it is fully removed. IF YOU ARE NOT REPLACING THE LAMP, DO NOT TOUCH THE UV LAMP GLASS WITH YOUR BARE HANDS. The oils on your hands can cause hot spots on the lamp and shorten its life. If oil from your fin­gers is left on the lamp glass, clean it off with a soft towel and rubbing alcohol. If you are removing an old lamp for replacement, handle the lamp carefully and dispose properly (see Environmental Notice below).
v. Set the UV Lamp aside in a safe place.

b. Installing the UV Lamp
i. Make sure to handle the new lamp by the ceramic endcaps and clean the UV Lamp before
installation if needed.
ii. Slowly place the UV Lamp into the Lamp Retainer until the top of the UV Lamp is pushed
past the tabs on the Lamp Retainer.
iii. Connect the Lamp Connector to its corresponding part in the Ballast Assembly.
ENVIRONMENTAL NOTICE: UV Lamp CONTAINS MERCURY. Manage in accordance with disposal laws. See: www.lamprecycle.org
c. UV Reactor Service and Maintenance
The UV Lamp is housed in a Quartz Tube. If the Quartz Tube becomes dirty, its ability to transmit rays from the UV Lamp will be diminished and decrease system performance. The Quartz Tube should be removed from the UV Reactor at least once a year or during a routine swim spa water change for inspection and cleaning if necessary.
d. Quartz Tube Removal and Cleaning
CAUTION: Wear proper eye and skin protection for servicing glass components.
i. Make sure the swim spa is shut down and the UV Lamp and Quartz Tube have cooled
before performing maintenance on the Quartz Tube. If you have installed Isolation Valves, close them before servicing. If you do not have Isolation Valves, the swim spa must be drained below where the Spa Solar Eclipse is mounted.
ii. Remove the Upper Enclosure Assembly and UV Lamp as described in Section A and set aside
in a safe place.
iii. Remove the two Retainer Screws and Retainer Washer from the top of the Lamp Retainer
