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.
12.Do not sit on the spa cover or place objects
on it; it is not designed to support weight.
13.Remove any water or debris that may collect
on the spa cover.
14.Keep children under the age of 12 and pets
away from the hydrotherapy spa when it is
not in use.
15.Keep all chemicals away from children and
pets.
16.The pH and chemical balance of the water
must be maintained as explained in this manual (see pages 10 and 14). Failure to do so
may cause injury to users or damage to the
hydrotherapy spa, and will void the warranty.
17.Individuals with infections and open sores or
wounds should not use the hydrotherapy
spa. Bacteria thrive in warm and hot water.
Always keep your spa disinfected and maintain the proper chemical balance.
18.Shower before and after using the hydrotherapy spa. This will remove any deodorant, perspiration, or body oils that could contaminate
the water. Showering after will remove any
residual chemicals and any bacteria that may
have been in the spa.
19.WARNING—The Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI), must be tested before
each use. To test the GFCI, press the “test”
button while the hydrotherapy spa is running.
The spa should shut off. Press the “reset”
button. The spa should resume normal operation. If the spa continues to run after the
“test” button is pressed, then the GFCI is
damaged. Do not use the spa until the GFCI
has been repaired or replaced by a qualified
electrician.

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 suppling 240 volts AC power. It must be
wired directly into a grounded circuit with a Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) capable of carrying
50 or more 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. Be 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.
6. Do not use the spa above a finished living area,
due to the risk of water damage.
7. Be sure that there is room around the spa to per-
mit servicing of the unit. The dimensions of the spa
are 84”W x 84” L x 35”H. You should allow for this
size when choosing the location.
8. The spa is not designed for in-floor installation.
However, it is compatible with a deck system that
is built flush with the top of the spa, provided you
leave access to the motor for service.
9. Be sure to note any other considerations, such as
aesthetics or privacy concerns, that may affect the
safety or enjoyment of using the spa.
If you set up the hydrotherapy spa outside:
1. Check local building codes concerning the use of
outdoor spas.
2. The spa should be located near a power source
capable of suppling 240 volts AC power. It must be
wired directly into a grounded circuit with a Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) capable of carrying
50 or more amps. No other appliance should be on
the same circuit.
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.
5. Be 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.
6. Consider environmental factors such as rain, wind,
shade, sunlight etc.
7. You should be able to monitor the use of the spa
from your home, to prevent unauthorized use by
children. You may want to enclose the spa with a
fence and self-latching gate to prevent unauthorized use.
8. Be 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 35”H. You should allow for this
size when choosing the location.
9. The spa is not designed to be installed below
ground level. However, it is compatible with a deck
system that is built flush with the top of the spa,
provided you leave access to the motor for service.
10.Be sure to note any other considerations, such as
aesthetics or privacy concerns, that may affect the
safety or enjoyment of using the spa.

use soft water. The spa may be filled with cold
water; however, if warm or hot water is used, the spa
will be ready for use sooner. Replace the filter cover
(see assembly drawing 1).
3. The hydrotherapy spa operates on a 240 volt power source and must be wired directly to a 240 volt Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) installed in your home. This procedure must be performed by a qualified,
licensed electrician. A wiring diagram is found on the inside of the electronics package for reference.
Under no circumstances should the spa be wired by someone other than a qualified electrician. Before
you have the spa wired, make sure it is in the desired position, and that it can be easily serviced, if needed.

The hydrotherapy spa is designed to seat six adults.
The spa holds 375 gallons of water and offers a heating system (80°F to 104°F), a filtration system, and
adjustable hydrotherapy jets. Follow the guidelines
below to use and maintain the spa for your long-term
enjoyment.
WIRING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA
The hydrotherapy spa is designed to operate with a
240 volt AC power source. It must be wired directly
into a grounded circuit with a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) capable of carrying 50 or more
amps. No other appliance should be on the same circuit. Connection of the spa to the 240V power
source must be performed by a qualified, licensed
electrician and must comply with all local, state,
and federal electrical codes. Please refer to the
instructions on the inside of the electronics package
for information about connecting the spa to a 240V
power source.
Once the spa is filled with water, the power can be
turned on. Note: The first time the power is turned on,
the spa will start automatically.
TESTING AND TREATING THE WATER
The hydrotherapy spa comes with a starter chemical
pack for maintaining the water in the spa. Disregard
the directions on the individual packages of “QUICK
pHix It DOWN” and “QUICK pHix It UP.” However, the
directions on the bottle of “Non-chlorine Shox” and
“Bromine Base” are correct. Always keep the chemi-
cals away from children and pets.
The first time you use the spa, you should test and
treat the water. You must also treat the water each
time you refill the spa. Once you have verified that
the spa is functioning properly, and have allowed the
water to circulate for a while, you should remove the
spa cover and add 1/3 of the “Bromine Base” bottle,
and 1/3 of the “Non-chlorine Shox” bottle to the water
in the spa. Allow the water to circulate for five minutes. You should now test the pH level of the water by
using the included test strips. Refer to the test strip
packaging for instructions on using the test strips. The
pH reading should be between 7.2 and 7.8.
If the level is too low, add half of one of the “QUICK
pHix It UP” packets to the water. Let the water circulate through the spa for five minutes. Test the pH level
again. Repeat until the pH level is correct.
If the level is too high, add half of one of the “QUICK
pHix It DOWN” packets to the water. Let the water circulate through the spa for five minutes. Test the pH
level again. Repeat until the pH level is correct.
See WATER CHEMISTRY on page 14 for information
concerning proper water maintenance.
STARTING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA
You should always test the GFCI before using the
hydrotherapy spa. First, turn on the spa by pressing
the jet button on the console (see USING THE CONTROLS on page 12). Once the spa is running, press
the GFCI “test” button. The spa should shut off. Press
the “reset” button. The spa should resume normal
operation. If the spa continues to run after the “test”
button is pressed, the GFCI is damaged. Do not use
the spa until the GFCI has been repaired or replaced
by a qualified electrician.
Once you have tested the GFCI, you should verify the
water flow from the pumping unit. Set the air control
on the console to the lowest setting (see USING THE
CONTROLS on page 12). The pumping unit will heat
the water as it pumps. Cover the hydrotherapy spa
with the spa cover. The spa cover must be tight
(see SECURING THE SPA COVER ON THE SPAon
this page). The water will heat at about 6°F per hour
with the cover on. If you are using the spa indoors,
and the room temperature is maintained at 70°F, it will
take approximately 6 to 8 hours for the water to reach
the set temperature.
The temperature and the water flow can be set or
changed with the controls on the console (see USING
THE CONTROLS on page 12).
SECURING THE SPA COVER ON THE SPA
To secure the spa cover,
snap the latch es on the spa
cover into the buckles on the
premium cedar panels.
To lock the buckles, insert
the key and turn it clockwise 1/4 turn. To unlock the
buckles, insert the key and
turn it counterclockwise 1/4
turn. Always keep the
buckles locked when the
spa is not in use. Keep the keys in a safe place,
out of the reach of children.

A. The filter can be removed for cleaning or replace-
ment (see CHECKING AND CLEANING THE FILTER on page 13).
B. The underwater light can be used for night operation
(see USING THE CONTROLS on page 12). The spa
includes both red and blue covers for the light.
C. The temperature probe monitors water temperature.
D. The volcano jet provides a soothing foot massage.
E. The whirlpool jet diverts the water flow three ways.
By turning the outer ring completely counterclockwise,
the water flow is diverted to the jets on seats 3, 4, and
5, and the jets labeled L1. By turning the outer ring to
the middle position, the water flow is diverted to the
jets on seats 1 and 2, the volcano jet, and the jets
labeled L1. By turning the outer ring fully clockwise,
the water flow is diverted to the whirlpool jet and the
jets labeled L1. Note: The outer ring may be hard
to turn while the pump is turned on high.
F. The three suction covers provide water to the
pump. The suction covers should always be in place
over the fittings. Never operate the spa without the
suction covers in place.
G. The two ozone jets provide ozone sanitation to the
spa. The ozone generator engages during the spa’s
filtration cycles to destroy algae, viruses, and bacte-
ria while breaking down chemicals and solids for
easy removal by the filtration system. Ozone oxidizes combined chlorine and bromine, freeing them
to be continuously re-used, reducing the chemical
needs and costs of the spa’s sanitation.
H. The console controls the spa jets, turns the underwa-
ter light on and off, and adjusts the water temperature
setting (see USING THE CONTROLS on page 12).
I. The four air controls regulate the air flow to the
Hydrotherapy jets.
J. The four neck jets can be adjusted to spray sooth-
ing water on your neck. To activate the neck jets,
either pull the nozzles or turn the nozzles clockwise.
To turn the neck jets off, push the nozzles or turn
the nozzles counterclockwise.
K. The eight rotary jets provide a spinning massage.
L. The ten dual rotary jets provide a pulsating mas-
sage action. Rotate the outer ring counterclockwise
to turn the jets on. Rotate the outer ring clockwise to
turn the jets off. The jets labeled L1 are always on
regardless of the position of the whirlpool jet (E).
M. The two power massage jets provides a soothing
massage to your lower back. Turn the outer ring to
regulate the flow.

The light will automatically turn off after 4 hours of
operation. The low-speed pump turns off after 2 hours
of operation and the high-speed pump turns off after
15 minutes of operation. The low-speed pump starts
automatically when the heater is turned on. If automatically activated, the low-speed pump cannot be
turned off with the Pump/Light button; however, the
high-speed pump may be started.
The controller will automatically filter the spa twice
each day. The first filter cycle will begin 1 minute after
the controller is energized. The second filter cycle will
begin 12 hours after the start of the first cycle. The filter cycle is set by the dealer for 2 or 3 hours. During
filtration, the low-speed pump and ozone generator (if
installed) run continuously.
Temperature Button: Controls the temperature setting
of the water. The temperature can be set from 80°F to
104°F. The water heats at about 6°F per hour with the
cover on. Use a medical or other accurate thermometer to check the temperature of the water.
Temperature adjustment is controlled by pushing the
temperature button. The display shows the actual
water temperature unless the button is pressed. When
the button is pressed, the display will show the set
temperature. Pressing the button a second time will
cause the set temperature to increase or decrease
depending on what direction was last chosen. Each
successive press will change the set temperature in
the same direction.
If the opposite direction is desired, release the button
and let the display revert to the actual water temperature again. Press the button to display the set temperature, and again to make the temperature change in
the desired direction.
If the letters OH, FL, or Sn appear in the display, refer
to page 17.
Air Controls: Determine the amount of air flowing
through the spa jets. If a control is turned counterclockwise, the amount of air flowing through the jets
will increase; if a control is turned clockwise, the
amount of air will decrease. Test each of the air controls to determine which jets are controlled by which
air control.

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 4 on page 9.
• Check the pH balance and sanitizer level. Adjust if
necessary (see WATER CHEMISTRY on page 14).
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).
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).
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 EXTERIOR
The premium cedar surround has been treated at the
factory. For information and supplies to maintain the
beauty and color of your premium cedar surround,
contact your local pool and spa supply store.
CLEANING THE SPA SHELL
The spa shell should be cleaned with a mild soap
solution; do not use solvents. The spa should always
be clean and dry before being moved or stored.
MAINTAINING THE SPA COVER
The spa cover should be cleaned monthly. To clean
the spa cover, use water and a non-abrasive cleaner
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.
SANITIZING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA
Please refer to your local pool and spa supplier for
information concerning which chemicals you should
use in your area to sanitize the spa.
The most common sanitizing agent is a solid bromine
concentrate. The amount required varies according to
several factors, such as user load, temperature, water
conditions etc. Proper water maintenance is a fairly
complex process. We recommend that you contact
your local pool and spa supplier for information on
how you should best accomplish this.
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
(not shown).
3. Turn the round weir
and lift it and the
basket out of the filter housing.
4. Lift the filter out of
the filter housing.
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. If it is damaged, replace it.
6. Insert the cleaned or new filter, the basket, and the
round weir into the filter housing. If the filter will not
go into the filter housing, check the spacer ring and
make sure it is on the nozzle (not shown).
7. Set the filter cover on the spa.

WATER CHEMISTRY
The hydrotherapy spa comes with a starter chemical
pack for maintaining the water in the spa. (See TESTING AND TREATING THE WATER on page 10.)
Additional chemicals can be purchased at a 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
closely.
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. It 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. Also, the sanitation agents in the water will not be effective if the pH
level is not properly maintained. Damage caused by
improper pH levels is not covered under the warranty.
To maintain the proper pH level, you should test the
pH of the water regularly. To test the water, you can
either purchase additional test strips or purchase a pH
test kit at a pool and spa supply store. The pH reading 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.
ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE ACCESS PANEL
Turn off the spa power. To remove the access panel,
insert your fingers into the indicated holes. Pull the
top of the access panel away from the spa.
To replace the access panel, insert the bottom of the
access panel into the lip of the spa base. Push the
access cover in until it is securely in place.
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. Direct sunlight can cause extensive 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.

To drain the hydrotherapy spa, follow the steps below:
1. Using the console, adjust the temperature to the
lowest setting.
2. Shut off the power to the spa, at the circuit breaker
or GFCI.
3. Remove the pump access panel from the spa.
4. Pull the hose out and hold it above the waterline.
Remove the cap and attach a garden hose to the
drain hose. Lower the hose and drain the spa.
5. When the spa is empty, close the valve and
remove the garden hose. Re-attach the cap and
return the drain hose inside the spa.
6. Re-attach the access panel.
7. Refill the spa and treat the water with chemicals
(see pages 10 and 14).
DRAINING THE PUMPS
After the hydrotherapy spa is drained, the jet pumps
should also be drained if the spa will be stored for
more than thirty days or if it may be exposed to freezing temperatures.
Turn off the power to
the spa. To drain the jet
pumps, remove the
access panel from the
spa unit (see ATTACHING AND REMOVING
THE ACCESS PANEL
on page 14). Locate
the jet pumps inside
the spa. Loosen the
indicated collar on
each of the pumps.
WINTER USE AND CARE
The hydrotherapy spa is designed for year-round use.
If you decide to store the spa for the winter, store it in
a warm, dry location. Follow the steps below to winterize the spa.
1. Make sure the power to the spa is turned off.
2. Drain the spa (see DRAINING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA on the previous page and this page).
3. Remove all remaining water from the spa shell. Dry
the spa shell with towels.
4. Set the air control to the lowest setting. Use a
wet/dry vacuum to pull any remaining water from
the system. To do this, place the vacuum nozzle
over each jet, starting with the highest jet and finishing with the lowest jet.
5. Set the air control on the console to the highest
setting and repeat step 3.
6. Drain the pumps (see DRAINING THE PUMPS on
this page). Once the water is drained from the
pumps, place the vacuum nozzle over the drainage
hole in the pumps and vacuum any additional
water from the pumps. Note: For additional pro-
tection, remove the pump/motors from the spa
and store them in a climate-controlled room.
7. Clean the spa shell (see page 13).
8. Clean the filter (see page 13).
9. Shut the power off at the breaker. Label the
breaker in such a way that the breaker will not
be turned on accidentally.
10.Re-attach the access panel and the spa cover.
REPLACING THE LIGHT BULB
If the underwater light burns out, you will need to
remove the pump access panel to replace it (see
A TTACHING AND REMOVING THE ACCESS PANEL
on page 14). Make sure the spa power is turned off.
Next, locate the light housing. Turn the light housing
counterclockwise and remove it from the spa shell.
To replace the light bulb, pull the old light bulb out of
the housing and insert a new light bulb. Re-attach the
light housing to the spa shell. Re-attach the access
panel to the spa.

cuit breaker or the GFCI trips again, contact a
qualified electrician for service.
3. SYMPTOM: THE PUMP HUMS
a. The filter may be dirty or damaged. Remove
the filter from the filter housing and clean or
replace the filter (see page 13).
b. The pump may have a foreign object stuck in
the impeller. Contact our customer service
department.
c. The pump may have a loose wire connection.
Contact our customer service department.
4. SYMPTOM: THE PUMP HUMS, BUT DOES NOT
ROTATE
a. The pump may be jammed. Contact our cus-
tomer service department. If your spa is no
longer under warranty, contact a local spa and
pool service provider.
5. SYMPTOM: THE PUMP IS NOISY WHILE
OPERATING
a. There may be debris in the pump. Contact our
customer service department.
b. The pump may have a bad bearing. Contact
our customer service department.
6. SYMPTOM: THE WATER DOES NOT HEAT
a. Make sure that the hydrotherapy spa is fully
covered with the spa cover. The spa cover
must be tight for the water to heat. Set the
air control to low. The water will heat at a rate
of 6°F per hour. If you are using the spa
indoors and the room temperature is main-
tained at 70°F, it will take approximately 6 to 8
hours for the water to reach the set temperature.
b. If you are using the hydrotherapy spa outdoors,
it may take longer for the water to heat. See
the chart below for the approximate heating
time.
Air
Temperature Heating Time
70°F + 6 to 8 hours
50°F to 70°F 9 to 11 hours
30°F to 50°F 12 to 14 hours
b. If the water still has not heated after four days,
contact our customer service department.
7. SYMPTOM: THE WATER IS NOT BEING
CLEANED BY THE FILTER
a. Check to see if the filter is in place. Clean the
filter if it is dirty.
b. Check the chemical balance of the water. If the
pH is incorrect, the sanitizing agents will not
function properly. See the section on maintaining the proper pH balance on page 14.
8. SYMPTOM: THE WATER PULSATES OR
THERE IS MINIMUM WATER FLOW
a. This usually occurs only when the water level is
low. Add water until it is 2 to 4” above the skimmer basket.
9. SYMPTOM: THE WATER LEVEL DROPS
a. Aclamp or seal inside the pump compartment
may be loose. Check inside the pump compartment for excess water and watch the pump unit
while it is operating to see if water drips from
any of the plumbing. If you can identify the
location of the leak inside the spa jet unit, tighten the clamp or replace the damaged seal.
b. Some water loss due to evaporation is normal.
If rapid water loss occurs, or if you notice wetness on the floor around the hydrotherapy spa,
the spa shell may have a leak. Contact your
local pool and spa service provider for repairs.
Most problems can be solved by following the simple steps below. Find the symptom that applies, and
