Important Safety Instructions

WARNING:To reduce the risk of drowning, electric shock, or serious injury, read the fol-

lowing important precautions before using the hydrotherapy spa.

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS

1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that all users of the hydrotherapy spa are adequately informed of all precautions.

2. Use the hydrotherapy spa only as described in this manual.

3. The hydrotherapy spa is intended for home use only. Do not use the spa in a commercial, rental, or institutional setting.

4. Use the hydrotherapy spa only on a level surface. Do not use the spa on carpet or other materials that could be damaged by moisture.

5. The hydrotherapy spa will weigh approximately 3,300 pounds when it is filled with water. Make sure that the location you select for the spa will support this weight, plus the weight of the occupants.

6. Inspect and tighten all parts regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

7. DANGER—Risk of injury: Do not remove or alter the covers on the suction fittings. Never operate the hydrotherapy spa if the suction guard is missing or broken. If you need to replace a suction fitting or pump, make sure you use only manufacturer recommended replacement parts. Keep hair and body parts away from the suction guard. Do not allow long hair to float freely in the water; long hair should be restrained with a bathing cap.

8. IMPORTANT: Do not allow the hydrotherapy spa to be exposed to direct sunlight when it is empty. The surface of the spa shell can reach temperatures as high as 150°F in a matter of minutes if exposed to the sun while it is empty. These high temperatures can cause significant damage, such as blistering of the shell surface and warping of the spa shell. Any damage caused by sun exposure is not covered under the warranty

9. Do not bring any object into the hydrotherapy spa that could damage the spa shell.

10.Never insert any object into any opening.

11.Do not use breakable containers in or near the hydrotherapy spa.

Choosing a Location for the Hydrotherapy Spa

There are many factors to consider when choosing a location to set up the hydrotherapy spa. These factors vary depending on whether you plan to use the spa inside or outside. We have listed several factors you may wish to consider as you decide where to set up the spa.

If you set up the hydrotherapy spa inside:

1. The spa will increase the level of humidity in your home. The location you choose should be well ventilated. You may need to install a ventilation fan or use a dehumidifier.

2. The spa should be located near a power source capable of supplying 240 volts AC power. It must be wired directly into a grounded circuit with a 45 amp circuit breaker and a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) capable of carrying 45 amps. No other appliance should be on the same circuit.

3. The spa should be close to a source of water.

4. Do not use the spa on carpet or other material that may be damaged by moisture. We recommend that you place the spa on a water- and stain-resistant, non-slip surface with a floor drain for any water that may splash from the spa.

5. Make sure that the location you choose is stable. It must be able to support the weight of the spa when it is filled with water, plus the weight of the occupants. The spa weighs approximately 3,300 pounds when it is filled with water.

If you set up the hydrotherapy spa outside:

1. Check local building codes concerning the use of outdoor spas.

3. The spa should be close to a source of water.

4. We recommend that you place the spa on a waterand stain-resistant, non-slip surface. Do not use the spa on rough or sharp surfaces such as gravel or wood chips.

6. Consider environmental factors such as rain, wind, shade, and sunlight.

6. Do not use the spa above a finished living area, due to the risk of water damage.

7. Make sure that there is room around the spa to permit servicing of the unit. The dimensions of the spa are 84”W x 84”L x 36”H. You should allow for this size when choosing the location.

8. The spa is not designed for in-floor installation. However is built flush with the top of the spa, provided you leave access to the motor for service.

Once the spa is filled with water, the power can be turned on. Note: If this is the first time the spa has

been turned on, or if the pumps have been drained, the pumps must be primed before the spa can be used.

PRIMING THE PUMPS

To prime the pumps, follow the steps below.

1. Remove the access panels (see REMOVING THE ACCESS PANELS on page 17).

Make sure all of the gate valves in the plumbing

4. Turn the power on. The spa will begin an automatic priming sequence.

A countdown from “005” to “000” will appear in the display of the console.

Once the countdown has reached “000,” “Pr” will be displayed. “Pr” indicates that the controller is in the two-pump priming mode. This mode will last for four to five minutes.

5. As soon as “Pr” is displayed, push pump button 1 once to start the pump on low speed and then push the button again to switch to high speed. Repeat for pump button 2.

If water is not flowing from the jets after two minutes, turn the power off.

the pumps to run without priming for more than two minutes. Under no circumstances allow a pump to run without priming beyond the end of the four to five minute priming mode. Doing so may cause damage to the pump

and cause the spa to go into an overheat condition.

Repeat the process of venting the air from the pumps and the controller and priming the pumps until water flows from the jets.

6. When the priming sequence is completed, the spa will automatically return to the normal heating and filtering mode. During the priming process, the heater is disabled to allow the pumps to be primed without activating the heater under low flow or no flow conditions.

Once the pumps are primed, push pump button 1 and pump button 2 to turn the pumps off.

7. The console will display “100F” and then “--F,” for approximately one minute. The spa requires one minute of water flowing through the heater to determine the water temperature.

Important: Do not allow

Maintenance

The hydrotherapy spa is designed to provide years of enjoyment. Please follow the guidelines below to properly maintain your spa.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

Daily

• Check the water level and refill the spa to the level shown in step 5 on page 9.

• Check the pH balance and sanitizer level. Make adjustments if necessary (see WATER CHEMISTRY on page 16).

Weekly

• Clean the spa shell at the waterline.

• Check and thoroughly clean the filter (see CHECKING AND CLEANING THE FILTER on this page).

• Replace the filter if needed (see ORDERING REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover of this manual).

Monthly

• Clean the spa cover (see MAINTAINING THE SPA COVER on this page).

• Soak the filter for two hours in a trisodium phosphate (TSP) solution. Rinse the filter in clean water.

• Replace the filter if needed (see ORDERING REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover of this manual).

Every Three Months

• Drain the spa and refill it with clean water. Sanitize and test the pH of the water.

• Check for any leaks around the pump or joints in the pipes. The seals will wear out over time; detecting leaks early can reduce repair costs. Clean the interior of the spa. Do not use solvents or

• waxes.

MAINTAINING THE SPA COVER

The spa cover should be cleaned monthly. To clean the spa cover on the entire cover. Rinse the cover with a garden hose to remove any cleaner residue. Dry the cover entirely. Use a non-silicone-based vinyl conditioner on the cover after you clean it. This will help protect the cover from sun damage.

CHECKING AND CLEANING THE FILTER

The filter should be checked periodically for build-up of dirt and oil. If the filter needs to be cleaned, follow the steps below:

1. Turn off the power.

2. Lift the filter cover.

3. Lift the the filter out of the filter housing.

4. Check the filter for dirt and debris. If the filter needs to be cleaned, rinse the filter with a hose. If the filter is still dirty, soak it in cleaning solution from a pool and spa supply store.

5. Inspect the filter for damage. Replace the filter if it is damaged.

6. Insert the cleaned or new filter into the filter housing. Reattach the filter cover

WATER CHEMISTRY

Maintaining the pH level of the water is very important to the operation of the spa. To maintain the proper pH level and to sanitize the spa, you can purchase a chemical starter kit from your local pool and spa supply store.

CAUTION: The chemicals used to maintain the pH balance of the water and to sanitize the water can be dangerous. Always follow these basic guidelines when handling the chemicals:

1. Always read and follow the directions on the label, unless directed otherwise.

2. Never mix different chemicals.

3. Do not exceed the recommended amounts of chemicals—follow the directions on the label.

4. Keep all chemicals out of the reach of children and pets.

5. Keep all containers closed tightly when not in use.

6. Never add water to the chemicals—always add the chemicals to the water as directed.

7. Always store chemicals in a cool, dry place.

MAINTAINING THE PROPER PH BALANCE

The pH factor is a measure of the relative acidity or alkalinity in the water, and is measured on a scale of 1 to 14. Pure water has a value of 7, which is neutral. Any value above 7 is alkaline, and any value below 7 is acidic. You should maintain a slightly alkaline pH level, between 7.2 and 7.8, in the hydrotherapy spa.

Severe problems can occur when the pH balance is not maintained within this range. If the pH level exceeds 7.8, dissolved minerals can build up and clog the plumbing in the spa jet unit. If the pH level falls below 7.2, the acid level in the water will begin to corrode the metal parts in the spa jet unit. tation agents in the water will not be ef level is not properly maintained. Damage caused by improper pH levels is not covered under the warranty

Also, the sani

fective if the pH

To maintain the proper pH level, test the pH of the water regularly. To test the water, purchase a pH test kit at a pool and spa supply store. should be between 7.2 and 7.8. If the level is too low, add a pH increaser (usually soda ash). If the level is too high, add a pH reducer (usually sodium bisulfate). Test the water again after five minutes. See the instructions with your pH test kit for additional information about testing and adjusting the pH.

SANITIZING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA

The most common sanitizing agent is a solid bromine concentrate. The amount required varies according to several factors, such as user load, temperature, and water conditions. Proper water maintenance is a complex process. Contact your local pool and spa supplier for information concerning which chemicals you should use in your area to sanitize the spa.

CHANGING THE FILTER CYCLE

The spa will filter the water every 12 hours. The duration of the cycle can be adjusted to last for 2, 4, 6, or 8 hours or to run indefinitely. Press the temperature up or temperature down button on the console. When the display begins to flash, press pump button 1. The display will read “F2.” To change the time, press the temperature up button until the desired time is reached. Press pump button 2 to confirm the selection.

Pump 2 purges for five minutes and the blower purges for 30 seconds at the beginning of each filter cycle. Pump 1 will run on low during filtration and the ozone generator will be enabled.

As spa usage increases, the duration of the filter cycle may need to be increased.

2. er or GFCI.

3. Remove the access panels from the spa (see ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE ACCESS PANELS on this page).

4. Pull the hose out and hold it above the waterline. Remove the cap, open the valve knob, and attach a garden hose to the drain hose. Lower the hose and drain the spa.

To replace the Access Panels (25), hold the Access Panels in place and secure them with the eight #10 x 2” Machine Screws (39). Be careful not to overtight-

en the Machine Screws.

DRAINING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA

The hydrotherapy spa should be drained at least four times per year and refilled with clean water. You may need to drain the spa more often, depending on the user load. This must be done because after repeated chemical treatment the water becomes chemically saturated. Once this happens, additional chemical treatment of the water is no longer effective. The spa should also be drained if you will not be using it for long periods of time. The spa must always be drained before major repairs are made.

The hydrotherapy spa should always be covered when it is empty sive damage. The surface of the spa shell can reach temperatures as high as 150°F in a matter of minutes if exposed to the sun while it is empty These high temperatures can cause significant damage, such as blistering of the shell surface and warping of the spa shell. Any damage caused by sun exposure is not covered under warranty
