USING THE DAYBREAK
The DAYBREAK is designed for up to four adults. The
six water jets can be regulated to provide a relaxing
massage to sooth away stress, and the strength of
the water massage can be adjusted by the air control.
he DAYBREAK holds 170 gallons of water and offers
T
an automatic, programmable heating (70°F to 104°F)
and filtration system.
The guidelines below explain how to properly use the
DAYBREAK. Follow these guidelines to maintain the
DAYBREAK for your long-term enjoyment.
PRIMING THE SPA JET UNIT
The water pump in the
spa jet unit must be
primed before you use
the DAYBREAK the
first time. You must
also prime the pump
before using the unit
each time you re-fill
the DAYBREAK.
To prime the spa jet unit, remove the primer cap from
the console. Fill the spa jet unit with at least 64 oz. of
water. Replace and tighten the primer cap. IMPOR-
TANT: The spa jet unit may be seriously damaged
if the pump is not properly primed, or if the primer
cap is not replaced and fully tightened.
PLUGGING IN THE DAYBREAK

or more amps. No other appliance should be on the
same circuit. Replace the power cord immediately if it
becomes damaged.
he power cord is equipped with a Ground Fault
T
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), located at the end of the
power cord. You should always test the GFCI before
using the DAYBREAK.
First, turn on the DAYBREAK by pressing the power
button on the console. Once the unit is running, press
the GFCI “test” button. The DAYBREAK should shut
off. Press the “reset” button. The DAYBREAK should
resume normal operation. If the DAYBREAK continues to run after the “test” button is pressed, then the
GFCI is damaged. Do not use the DAYBREAK until
the GFCI has been repaired or replaced by a qualified
electrician.
STARTING THE DAYBREAK
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
CONSOLE on the next page). The pumping unit will
heat the water as it pumps. Cover the DAYBREAK
with the spa cover. The spa cover must be tight.
The water will heat at about 1.5°F an hour with the
cover on. If you are using the DAYBREAK indoors,
and the room temperature is maintained at 70°F, it will
take approximately 36 to 48 hours for the water to
reach the set temperature.
Once the DAYBREAK is filled with enough water to
cover the water jets and the pump has been primed,
the power cord can be plugged in and the spa jet unit
can be turned on. Note: The first time the power cord
is plugged in, the spa jet unit will turn on automatically.
When connecting the power cord, plug the power cord
directly into a grounded circuit capable of carrying 15

The temperature and water flow can be set or
changed by the controls on the console (see USING
THE CONSOLE on the next page).
TESTING AND TREATING THE WATER
The DAYBREAK 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. Once you have verified that the spa
jet unit 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.
You will need a pH test kit (not included), which can
13
Page 14
be obtained at a pool and spa supply store. The pH
reading should be between 7.2 and 7.8.
f the level is too low, add half of one of the “QUICK
I
pHix It UP” packets to the water. Let the water circu-
ate through the spa jet unit for five minutes. Test the
l
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 jet unit for five minutes. Test
the pH level again. Repeat until the pH level is correct.
Replace the spa cover and allow the water to continue to heat.
See WATER CHEMISTRY on page 15 for information
concerning proper water maintenance.

USING THE CONSOLE
Refer to the console diagram above. The function of
each console control is explained below:
Primer: This opening allows you to prime the spa jet
unit before operation (see PRIMING THE SPA JET
UNIT on page 13).
Diverter: Controls the flow of water through the
hydro-therapy jets and the whirlpool diverter. The
direction of the flow can be adjusted by turning the
diverter control. When the control is set to “front,” the
flow will be through the hydro-therapy jets; when it is
set to “side,” the flow will be through the whirlpool
diverter; when it is set to “all,” the flow will be evenly
distributed through both the hydro-therapy jets and
the whirlpool diverter.
Thermostat: Controls the temperature of the water.
The water heats at about 1.5°F an hour with the cover
on. The thermostat can be set to heat the water from
70°F to 104°F. You should use a medical or other
accurate thermometer to check the temperature of the
water.
On/Off: Turns the spa jet unit on and off. To turn the
spa jet unit on, press the control once. To turn the spa
jet unit off, press the control twice. After you press it
once, the spa jet unit will shut off for about 30 seconds, and restart. Press the control again. The spa jet
unit will remain off for three hours, at which time it will
begin running the filter cycle. At any time after the spa
jet unit has been shut off, the pump will begin cycling
the water if the temperature falls below the minimum
setting. Note: To keep the filter and heat cycles from
running, the power cord must be unplugged.
Air Control: Determines the amount of air that is in
the spa jet system during operation. If the control is
turned to the left, the amount of air flowing through
the jets will increase. If the control is turned to the
right, the amount will decrease.

py jet until there is a flow of water coming out of the
a
hose. Turn off the spa unit and unplug the power
cord. The unit will be damaged if it is run without
water circulating. Be sure the end of the hose in the
DAYBREAK is on the floor of the spa.
DRAINING THE PUMP
After the DAYBREAK
is drained (see
DRAINING THE DAYBREAK above), the
pump in the spa jet
unit should also be
drained if the DAYBREAK will be stored
for more than thirty
days, or if it may be
exposed to freezing temperatures.
To drain the pump, remove the spa jet unit from the
side panels. Be careful not to tear the spa liner.
Locate the pump inside the spa jet unit. Remove the
indicated bolt from the pump. Tip the spa jet unit
slightly, until all the water has drained from the pump.
Replace the drain plug.
Pump
Drain Plug
The spa jet unit features an automatic filter cycle and
freeze protection. If the spa jet unit has not been
operated for three hours, the pump will begin circulating the water for twenty minutes to filter any impurities. Also, if the water temperature falls below 40°F,
the pump will begin circulating and heating the water
to prevent the water from freezing.

MAINTENANCE
LEANING THE SPA LINER
C
The liner should be cleaned with a mild soap solution.
Do not use solvents. The liner should always be clean
nd dry before being moved or stored.
a
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. Remove the filter from the spa jet unit by
pulling the white filter from the side of the spa
jet unit.
3. Check the filter for any dirt or debris. If the filter needs to be cleaned, rinse the filter with a
hose. If the filter still is dirty, you will need to
soak it in a cleaning solution which can be
obtained from a pool and spa supply store.
4. Inspect the filter for damage. Replace the filter if there are any signs of damage.
5. Re-insert the cleaned filter into the spa jet unit.
MAINTAINING THE SPA COVER
The spa cover should be cleaned monthly. To clean
the spa cover, hang it over a clothes line and spray it
with a hose. Leave the cover on the clothes line until
it is fully dry.
WINTER USE AND CARE
The DAYBREAK is designed for year-round use. If
you decide to store the DAYBREAK for the winter,
store it in a warm, dry location. (See DRAINING THE
DAYBREAK and DRAINING THE PUMP on page 15.)
WATER CHEMISTRY
. Keep all chemicals out of the reach of chil-
4
dren and pets.
5. Keep all containers closed tightly when
not in use.
. Never add water to the chemicals—always
6
add the chemicals to the water as directed.
7. Always store chemicals in a cool, dry place.
8. Always keep chemicals away from children and pets.
MAINTAINING THE PROPER PH BALANCE
The pH factor is a measure of 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 DAYBREAK.
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. You will need a pH test kit
(not included), which can be obtained 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.
The DAYBREAK comes with a starter chemical pack
for maintaining the water in the spa. (See TESTING
AND TREATING THE WATER on page 13.) 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—follow the directions on the
label closely.
SANITIZING THE DAYBREAK
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, and so forth.
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.

TROUBLE-SHOOTING
Most problems can be solved by following the simple steps below. Find the symptom that applies, and
follow the steps listed. If further assistance is needed, call our Customer Service Department toll-free at
1-888-936-4266, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. until 5 p.m EST (excluding holidays).
1. SYMPTOM: THE SPA WILL NOT OPERATE
a. Check the power cord. The power cord must
be plugged into a grounded outlet (see PLUGGING IN THE DAYBREAK on page 13).
b. Check to see if the GFCI breaker is tripped, or
was not turned on. Reset the GFCI breaker.
2. SYMPTOM: THE CIRCUIT BREAKER OR GFCI
BREAKER TRIPS WHILE THE SPA IS
OPERATING
a. Reset the circuit breaker. If the circuit breaker
trips again, contact a qualified electrician for
service.
3. SYMPTOM: THE PUMP HUMS
a. The filter may be dirty or damaged. Remove
the filter housing from the spa jet unit and clean
or replace the filter.
b. The pump may have a foreign object stuck in
the impeller. Contact our customer service
department or a local spa and pool service
provider.
6. SYMPTOM: THE WATER DOES NOT HEAT
a. The pump in the spa jet unit is the heater. If the
pump is operating, the water should heat.
Cover the DAYBREAK with the spa cover. Thespa cover must be tight. Set the air control to
low. The water will heat at a rate of 1.5°F an
hour. If you are using the DAYBREAK indoors,
and the room temperature is maintained at
70°F, it will take approximately 36 to 48 hours
for the water to reach the set temperature.
b. If you are using the DAYBREAK outdoors, it
may take longer for the water to heat. See the
chart below for the approximate heating time.
Air Temperature

70°F
50°F – 70°F2 to 4 days
30°F – 50°F4 to 6 days
b. If the water still has not heated after six days,
contact our customer service department or a
local spa and pool service provider.
7. SYMPTOM: THE WATER PULSATES OR
THERE IS MINIMUM WATER FLOW
Heating Time

c. The pump may have a loose wire connection.
Contact our customer service department or a
local spa and pool service provider.
4. SYMPTOM: THE PUMP HUMS BUT DOES NOT
ROTATE
a. The pump may be jammed. Contact our cus-
tomer service department or 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 or a local spa and
pool service provider.
b. The pump may have a bad bearing. Contact
our customer service department or a local spa
and pool service provider.
a. Adjust the water level. This usually occurs only
when the water level is low. Add water until the
filter and jets are covered.
8. SYMPTOM: THE SPA JET UNIT CAVITATES
DURING USE
a. This problem is caused by excess air in the
pump circulation system. Check to see if the
primer cap is fully tightened. Prime the pump
again and fully tighten the primer cap (see
PRIMING THE SPA JET UNIT on page 13).
9. 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.

. To turn the spa jet unit on, press the ON/OFF
a
control once. To turn the spa jet unit off, press
he control twice. After you press it once, the
t
spa jet unit will shut off for about 30 seconds,
and restart. Press the control again. The spa
jet unit will remain off for three hours, at which
time it will begin running the filter cycle. At any
time after the spa jet unit has been shut off, the
pump will begin cycling the water if the temperature falls below the minimum setting.
11. SYMPTOM: THE WATER LEVEL DROPS
a. Some water loss due to evaporation is normal.
If rapid water loss occurs, or if you notice wetness on the floor around the DAYBREAK, then
the liner may have a leak. Locate the leak, and
patch it using a pool patch kit that you can purchase at any pool and spa supply store.
b. A clamp or seal inside the spa jet may be
loose. Check the floor around the spa jet unit
for excess water, and watch the spa jet unit
hile it is operating to see if water drips from
w
the spa jet unit housing. If you can identify the
ocation of the leak inside the spa jet unit, tight-
l
en the clamp or replace the damaged seal.
12. SYMPTOM: THERE ARE WRINKLES IN THE
LINER
a. Drain the water from the DAYBREAK, until the
water level is below the wrinkles. Smooth out
any wrinkles that you can see. Begin to refill
the DAYBREAK. Be sure to check for new
wrinkles that may form in the spa liner as the
water begins to cover the bottom. Smooth out
any wrinkles toward the sides, and then smooth
the wrinkles to the top. It is normal to have
some wrinkles around the spa jet unit.
