HYPERTHERMIA Since your hot tub can be set to reach temperatures of 40°C
(104°F), users should be aware that extended submersion in water that exceeds
normal body temperature can lead to hyperthermia.
The causes, symptoms and effects of hyperthermia may be described as follows:
Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches several
degrees above the normal body temperature of 37°C (98.6°F). The symptoms of
hyperthermia include drowsiness, lethargy, and an increase in the internal
temperature of the body. The effects of hyperthermia include:
WARNING
THE USE OF ALCOHOL, DRUGS OR MEDICATION CAN SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE THE RISK OF
FATAL HYPERTHERMIA.
· Unawareness of impending hazard · Failure to perceive heat · Failure to
recognize the need to exit the hot tub · Physical inability to exit the hot
tub · Fetal damage in pregnant woman · Unconsciousness resul ng in the danger
of drowning
If you sense any of the symptoms of hyperthermia, safely exit the hot tub
immediately.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT LOCATION
Your Hydropool hot tub can be installed indoors or out, on the ground, in the
ground or half-and-half. The following informa on will assist you in choosing
the right loca on for your individual needs. When making your decision, always
remember that hot tubs can be enjoyed year-round, indoors or out, regardless
of the climate. Many Hydropool owners report that their favourite me to use a
hot tub is in the cooler fall and winter months, while others praise the
enjoyment
of using their hot tub in the warmer spring and summer months. INDOOR
LOCATIONS
If members of your family are not cold weather enthusiasts, or if your
backyard or pa o area is not suitable for a hot tub installa on, then an
indoor loca on for your hot tub may be your best or only choice. You may wish
to create an exercise/spa area in your home, or install your hot tub in a
glass solarium or four-season room adjoining your home. Indoor installa ons
not only add a unique look and appeal to your home, they provide the privacy
and controlled climate to ensure that use and enjoyment of your hot tub is
maximized. If you should choose an indoor loca on, you will find further
informa on as outlined in the sec on “SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR INDOOR
INSTALLATIONS”
OUTDOOR LOCATIONS For a variety of reasons, outdoor loca ons are a far more
popular choice. Some of the reasons include: · Limited indoor space · Delivery
complica ons due to door openings, stairwells, etc. · Limited budget (indoor
installa ons usually also involve interior home renova ons) · Desire for an
outdoor entertainment center · Hot tub is being installed adjacent to an exis
ng or planned swimming pool · Concerns over splashing water inside the home
For those who choose an outdoor loca on, hot tub opera ng temperatures can be
adjusted to match the season. In colder months, many owners will operate their
hot tub in the range of 38-40°C (100 -104°F). During warmer months, an opera
ng temperature of 36-37°C (97-99°F) will provide a refreshing retreat. If you
should choose an outdoor loca on, you will find further informa on as outlined
in the sec on “SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR OUTDOOR INSTALLATIONS”

GENERAL INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
1. Your HYDROPOOL hot tub is a self-contained pre-plumbed unit, so that no
on-site plumbing connec ons to the residen al water supply or drain are
required.
2. Ensure that your HYDROPOOL hot tub is properly supported by either a level
concrete pad, or a properly constructed deck capable of suppor ng 1220 kg/m2
(250 lbs./ .2). If there is a possibility that the pad could shi by
freezing/thawing ground movement (such as in clay regions, and/or areas with
high water tables) concrete foo ngs extending below the frost line are
recommended.
3. Decking should be chosen and constructed in a manner that minimizes the
chance of slipping or falling. 4. If you do not have a factory installed
insulated cabinet, it is assumed that you are building your own custom
cabinet,
ling or decking. Please consider the following: a) Your HYDROPOOL hot tub is
self-suppor ng on its base. The cabinet should be decora ve only, not for
support. Never
suspend the hot tub from the deck or cabinet. b) Where the hot tub is not
equipped with a factory installed cabinet, it is the installer’s
responsibility to ensure all electrical
equipment is completely weather protected and meets all of the regulatory
requirements. c) Always provide adequate access for servicing the support
equipment. d) Decking must be constructed to allow repair access around the en
re hot tub. e) In remote equipment or no-cabinet installa ons, you may add
extra insula on, but the equipment area must have
adequate cross-flow ven la on. 5. Installa on of a safety grab rail or
reachable support for use when entering or exi ng the hot tub is recommended.
6. A nearby garden hose connec on is recommended for filling and “topping up”
the hot tub.
WARNING
The hot tub equipment and all electrical plugs, outlets and lights within 1.5m
(5 ) of the hot tub must be G.F.C.I protected. Consult your electrician or
local electrical authority for further details. Access to the hot tub must
always be secured: Outdoors – in accordance with local property by-laws and/or
via an approved fence with a self-closing gate and a safety hardcover;

INDOOR INSTALLATIONS
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
· It is beneficial to have the hot tub room located near wash room and shower
facili es · The hot tub room should have a floor drain to handle splash water,
a window, outside exhaust fan or humidistat controlled
exhaust fan for ven la on and a humidifier. · Consider plumbing a water tap
and drain loca on nearby to facilitate draining and top-up · Always provide
adequate ven la on for the support equipment · Consult your local Hydropool
retailer for further informa on
OUTDOOR INSTALLATIONS
· Contact your local building code department to determine if a building
permit is necessary and for informa on on applicable bylaws (distance from
property lines, buildings, fencing requirements, etc.)
· If you are doing any excava ng, contact your local gas, electric, and cable-
company to ensure that there are no underground lines
· Locate the hot tub, where prac cal, within close distance of a door to the
house to maximize poten al winter use. · Ensure that all hot tub support
equipment is easily accessible and protected from the elements · The hot tub
support equipment is designed for indoor (out of the direct elements) use.
When your HYDROPOOL hot tub is
equipped with a factory-installed cabinet, and installed as per the guidelines
of this manual, the equipment will be adequately protected. If the hot tub is
shipped without a cabinet, your custom cabinet or other structure must be
designed to supply protec on for the hot tub support equipment from rain,
snow, splash water, etc., but s ll designed in a manner to ensure adequate ven
la on.
ABOVE-GROUND INSTALLATIONS
SITE PREPARATION
Where the hot tub is a “stand-alone” above-ground installa on to be installed in regions where freeze/thaw condi ons may occur, a level pa o stone or pre- formed paver type base may be sufficient if there is no abu ng deck(s) that could be damaged during poten al seasonal movement of the ground. The poten al drawback to this type of base is that splash water could eventually de- stabilize the ground under the base, with the resultant shi of the support base causing damage to the hot tub structure.
For best results, we recommend the installa on of a level concrete pad:
· Dig out and level the ground 20-30 cm (8-12 in.) below your desired base
level. · Install 10-15 cm (4-6 in.) of crushed stone. · Next, install 10-15 cm
(4-6 in.) of poured concrete. · Level the concrete and apply a broom-type
finish. · We recommend that the pad be made 15 cm (6 in.) larger than the hot
tub on three sides, and 1 m (3 .) larger on the
side where the access steps and/or planters will be installed. · Hot tub must
be installed on a level pad
In regions where freeze/thaw occurs, or where there will be custom decking abu ng the hot tub we recommend the installa on of sono-tubes beneath the pad to prevent shi ing.
9
IN-GROUND & PARTIAL IN-GROUND INSTALLATIONS For units being installed fully or
par ally in the ground, the type of support will again vary based on whether
or not the tub is being installed in an area with freeze/thaw condi ons.
Hydropool does not recommend back-filling full in-ground or par al in-ground
installa ons. · Non-freezing climates it is sufficient to ensure that the
base of the hole or cavity created for the tub has a dry, stable,
compacted level base and proper drainage. · Climates where freeze/thaw occurs
it is necessary that a poured level reinforced concrete base, complete with
concrete foo ngs, be installed as outlined in the sec on ABOVE-GROUND
INSTALLATIONS. Areas with a high ground water table a level concrete base,
as well as a concrete or wood retaining wall to hold back the earth, is
recommended. This forms a box or `bunker’, in which the hot tub is placed. ·
ALWAYS ensure that there is good drainage, via a properly designed French
drain (gravel) system and/or a sump pump,
to prevent ground water flooding damage to the support equipment or hot tub
structure. · Install protec ve waterproof conduit to house any cables that
will be buried. · Access for future service must be considered at the me of
design and installa on. You must be able to access all sides
and areas of your hot tub. Difficult access will result in supplemental
service labor charges not covered by the factory warranty. Consider easily
removable deck materials. · Make sure the hot tub or swim spa is tested for 48
hours before you prepare the installa on of the surrounding/finish deck around
your hot tub. Even though all units are tested in our plant, some
transport/site handling damage can occur and we suggest you make sure the tub
is perfectly waterproof before finalizing your installa on.
10
EQUIPMENT ACCESSIBILITY AND PROTECTION
The equipment must be located in an area where it will remain serviceable, dry
and will not be exposed to rain, snow or ground water.
UNLOADING / HANDLING YOUR HOT TUB
All Hydropool hot tubs are shipped with a protec ve combina on layer of foam
wrap, cardboard and plas c film. Each hot tub is factory strapped onto a wood
skid. If your hot tub is to be delivered by your local dealer, it will
generally arrive on a flat bed truck or low profile trailer. Most dealers are
equipped with the necessary equipment to maneuver the hot tub from the truck
to the dolly or cart that will be used to move your hot tub to the installa on
loca on.
Should your hot tub arrive in a common closed box trailer, it may be necessary
to arrange with a local towing company for a lt and load tow truck, with a
pulley winch system, to pull the skid from the larger trailer to the lower
profile tow truck flat
bed. The hot tub can be gently slid off the low profile trailer and posi oned
on its side on a cart or dolly on its back side only.
Most Hydropool models require a clearance width of at least 100 cm. (39 in.)
to allow movement of the unit on its side through alley-ways, fence openings,
etc. Where this is not possible, the use of a crane to li the hot tub from the
truck or trailer over the house to the pa o or yard is o en a simple and
economical op on.
WARNING
· Do not move or place the hot tub on the side where the equipment is located
as damage could occur. · Never roll or flip the hot tub end over end as the
cabinet could be damaged. · Never li or handle the hot tub by the plumbing. ·
Make sure that there is sufficient assistance to gently slide the hot tub off
the dolly or cart to the support base without
any damage.
Important Note: Damage caused during transporta on or by improper handling is
not covered by the factory warranty.

FILLING, CHECKING AND STARTING YOUR HOT TUB
CHECKING
Although your hot tub was thoroughly water-tested in the factory, some
loosening of fi ngs can occur during shipping. Before any decking, ling or
carpe ng is completed around the installa on, fill and operate your hot tub to
test for leaks (this ensures easy access and inexpensive correc on). Check all
union connec ons and plumbing for minor leaks. In the event of a leak, ensure
all union connec ons and pump plugs are ght and all o-rings/gaskets are in
place.
UNIONS
STARTING
Before applying voltage to power-up your hot tub, it is very important that
you understand the sequence of events that occur when the system is ac vated
in order that the pump can be primed efficiently and damage to the system can
be avoided. · Turn the main power “on” at your electrical panel. · Follow the
control instruc ons for your par cular model
hot tub to put the pump into low speed. See sec on HYDROPOOL CONTROL SYSTEMS
HOSE BIB
PROPER WATER LEVEL
FILLING When adding water for the first me, the hot tub should be filled
through the skimmer opening (helps to prevent air locks) using a standard
garden hose, turning the tap on slowly to prevent damage to the surface by a
jerking hose connec on. · Pull up the handles on the intake and return gate
valves and clip on the stem locks. (handles are pulled up when valves are open
and pushed down when valves are closed). · Ensure the drain hose-bib is
closed. · Ensure that all jets are open. · Fill the hot tub to the recommended
level as indicated
by the “MIN” and “MAX” marks on the weir door of the skimmer opening.
PUMP PRIMING/RELEASING AN AIR LOCK On some systems a message will appear on
the display indica ng that the system is in PUMP PRIMING MODE. This mode will
last for 4 to 5 minutes before automa cally entering the normal opera on mode.
See complete details for your spa in sec on HYDROPOOL CONTROL SYSTEMS When the
hot tub pump is located below water level, the water should start circula ng
immediately. If the motor works but if you do not no ce water circula on
within the first 15 seconds, the pump may require priming due to trapped air
(referred to as an air lock’). To prime (inset 2), open the hose-bib to allow trapped air to escape. Close as soon as the water flow from the jets becomes regular. If the pumps have not primed a er 2 minutes, and water is not flowing from the jets, DO NOT allow the pumps to con nue to run. Turn power off at the main house panel (or GFCI) and try releasing the air again by loosening the union on the discharge side of the pump(s) while the motor is not running. Turn the power back on. If the pump(s) does not prime a er 15 seconds, some mes momentarily turning the pump(s) off and on will help the system to prime (note: do not do this more than 5 mes). Repeat if necessary. · Important: Under NO circumstances should the pump(s) be allowed to operate without priming beyond 5 minutes, as this may not only cause unwarrantable damage to the pump, it may also cause the control system to go into an overheat condi on. Defini on:Priming’ a pump is a term used to describe the process in which
air trapped in the plumbing and pump wetend (referred to as an `air lock’) is
released, allowing the pump to move water efficiently through the plumbing
system and to the jets.
16
RELEASING AIR TRAPPED IN FILTER…
AIR VENT VALVE
· When the pump starts circula ng, it will be necessary to release trapped air
in the filter. Carefully loosen the air vent valve counter-clockwise un l
there is the hissing sound of air escaping. Once there is a steady stream of
water, close the vent valve, ensuring that the o-ring does not become pinched.
· Turn the Hydrotherapy pump(s) on and re-check for leaks. The control system
will automa cally return the pump(s) off a er 15 minutes.
· Adjust the hot tub heat control at the topside panel to the desired water
temperature. · Adjust water balance (pH, TA, calcium hardness) to recommended
levels and add sani zer
once the water temperature reaches 20oC (68oF). See sec on HOT TUB WATER
BALANCE · Keep insulated safety hard cover on the hot tub, and the air
controls closed during the en re heat up process. NOTE: In order to prevent
damage to your pillows caused by the gassing effect of the chemicals, we do
recommend to remove them when the spa is not in use. By removing them you will
extend considerably the life length of your pillows. We do design ours pillows
to be removed easily in order to make sure they will not remain in the spa
when it’s not in use.

The keypad does store the date and me for a limited me so when the system
starts up a er a loss of power it may be necessary to reprogram the
me and date if the power down dura on is greater than 48 hours.
The temperature shown in white on the screen is the current water temperature.
Use the UP and DOWN icon to set the desired temperature.
The set point will appear in blue on the screen. A er 3 seconds without any
change to the set temperature value, the keypad will resume the normal display
of messages.
PROGRAMMING THE DATE AND TIME
When the set value is lower than the current temperature “Cooling to XX”F (“C)” will appear. When the value is set higher than the current temperature, “Hea ng to XX”F (“C)” will be indicated.
Here you can adjust the me format (AM/PM or 24h), day of the week and me. Use the icons to choose the se ng that you want to adjust and select it by scrolling through the menu.

are set in 30 minute increments. Once you have set the schedule, use Spa Func
on Icon to go back. Ensure that you have selected the desired Water Care op on
in the main Water Care menu.
The filtra on schedule shown on the screen will apply to the main filtra on
pump. Your spa uses a circula on pump configured to run 24 hours by default
and the screen will show you the purge se ng instead of filtra on. The purges
are pre-programmed for a fixed number of minutes, therefore the dura on will
be set to N/A on the screen, and only the start me can be modified.
FILTERING
Your spa is equipped with a circula on pump that filters your water for 24
hours a day. If the water temperature exceeds the set temperature by 4°F (and
set point is 95°F or higher) then this pump will shut off automa cally un l
the temperature drops below the set point by approximately 1.5°F.
You can bypass the pack filtra on overtemperature feature. When Warm weather
is “Off”, the filtra on over-temperature is disabled. This feature allows the
spa to con nue filtering even through the water temperature is high.

OPTIONAL I-COMMAND 2 SYSTEM The Smart Phone App that is designed as a wireless
hot tub control which allows you to pick the water care se ngs that fit your
schedule. Adjust filtra on and temperature se ngs and create the ideal hot tub
experience from inside your home. This op on is supported by your iPhone®,
iPOD touch®, iPAD® (requires iOS 8.0 or later) and Android Device (requires
Android 2.3.3 and up). I-Command 2 (In. touch 2) comes with a state-of-the-art
app and 2 pre-paired radio frequency transmi ers: One being part of the spa
system and the second one, being connected to the Home Internet router. Both
RF transmi ers are pre-linked to one another, enabling an immediate and
perfect communica on between user and the spa. 1. Installing the home transmi
er The home transmi er is provided with an Ethernet cable and a power supply.
The in. touch 2 home transmi er unit must be installed inside the house,
connected to a router and powered by the provided wall transformer. A longer
Ethernet cable may be used to bring the home transmi er closer to the spa.
Simply connect the Ethernet cable into the RJ45 port of the in. touch 2 home
transmi er and in one of the available LAN ports on your router. To power up
the home transmi er, plug the provided wall outlet charger to a 120V (North
American model) or 220V (European model) household supply and connect the USB
cable to the wall outlet and the home transmi er.
26
2. Installing the spa transmi er If you purchased a spa with in. touch 2 as a
standard feature or as an op on, note that the spa transmi er will be pre-
installed. To ensure proper signal transmission, it may be necessary to change
the posi on of the transmi er once the spa is installed in the yard. The
transmi er should be located on the side of the spa facing the house.
The in. touch 2 spa transmi er must be installed under the spa skirt, at least
12″ (30 cm) away from any metal component or structure, as close as possible
to the house to op mize the signal strength. Simply connect the spa transmi er
into an available CO port of the spa control system (or any other accessory
with a free CO port, such as the in. stream 2 audio amplifier, or the in.
clear water sani za on system). 3. Pairing the home and spa transmi ers If you
bought an in. touch 2 equipped spa or a complete retrofit kit, both transmi
ers of your in. touch 2 will be factory pre-paired.
27
If you need to replace a transmi er or pair your transmi ers again, power up
the home transmi er and press on its pairing bu on with a paper clip. The
status light of the transmi er will blink yellow. Then, shut off the spa’s
breaker to turn the spa transmi er off. Wait a li le and put the breaker back
on. Within a few seconds, pairing will be completed and both transmi er status
lights will turn to blue. 4. Transmi ers status LED indicator Both the home
and spa transmi ers have color status LED that can be used for troubleshoo ng
purposes .
When the LED status is blinking (blue, green or red) this indicates that the
communica on between the EN module and the CO module it not established.
28
5. Strong and Long Range Communica on Signal Through their proprietary RF
technology, in. touch 2 transmi ers emit a strong, stable and long-range
signal between your spa and your router (about 3 mes longer than regular
signal). No need for repeaters or boosters: your spa will always remain within
reach in typical backyard se ngs.

HYDROCLEAR PUREWATER SYSTEM
HOW IT WORKS This system combines the benefits of both Ozone and UV-C creates
hydroxyl radicals to burn off contaminants and dissolved solids within the
water to significantly increase the clarity of the spa water. The UV-C rays
also breakdown chloramines which are the main cause of respiratory, eye and
skin irrita on typically associated with chlorine. Harmful/corrosive off
gassing is also drama cally reduced through this process. MAINTENANCE AND
SERVICE While opera ng, check regularly to see if bubbles are entering the
spa. A er 10,000 hours the UV LED will begin flashing yellow indica ng its me
to replace the UV-C lamp. Replace the check valve assembly annually to ensure

HOT TUB WATER BALANCE GENERAL OVERVIEW
NOTABLE POINTS
· The reliability and longevity of your hot tub support
equipment are directly related to how well water quality is
maintained!
· The small volume of water in your hot tub is easily affected
by the introduc on of oils, lo ons, perspira on and
chemicals. It is impera ve that you give your hot tub
regular a en on to maintain clean, and balanced water to
prevent premature damage and/or failure (corrosion/
calcifica on) to the support equipment.
Maintaining
proper hot tub water balance and sani zer levels is ex-
tremely important. Neglected hot water will allow bacteria
to quickly spread.
· The mineral content of hot tub water increases due to
water evapora on, sani zers and other chemicals. If the
mineral concentra on, par cularly calcium, becomes too
high, the minerals will literally “drop” or precipitate out of
the water and deposit on the hot tub walls, plumbing, jets,
in the filter and on the heater element.
· It is very important that pH be checked frequently and
maintained in the recommended range as indicated in the
chartWATER BALANCE SUMMARY FOR YOUR HOT TUB
· It is also very important that Total Alkalinity (the ability of
the water to resist a change in pH) be maintained in the
recommended range as indicated in the chart WATER
BALANCE SUMMARY FOR YOUR HOT TUB
· Although there may be two iden cal hot tub models right
next door to each other, the maintenance requirements
will be different, dependant on such factors as:
bather load
frequency of use/quan ty of bathers
different body chemistry
sun vs. shade
temperature
For these reasons, it is very important to develop proper hot tub water
maintenance habits and follow your Hydropool retailer’s recommended water
maintenance procedures.
Heater and other component failure due to improper water balance is not
covered under warranty.
WARNING
CHEMICAL HANDLING SAFETY HINTS
· Never pre-mix chemicals with each other prior to adding to hot tub water.
· Add only one chemical to the water at a me. · Always add chemicals to water
and not vice-versa. · Chemicals may be corrosive, so handle with care and
store in a cool dark place. · Never smoke near chemicals as most are flammable
· Ensure any spilled chemicals are carefully cleaned up
immediately. · Always have the POISON CONTROL telephone number
handy in the event of an emergency. · Keep chemicals out of children`s reach ·
Wear safety glasses and gloves when handling
chemicals.
INITIAL WATER FILL & BALANCE 1. Make sure the hot tub water is circula ng. 2.
Add a sequesterant (stain and scale controller). Allow
water to circulate for an hour before adding anything else to the hot tub
water. 3. Add a Shock / oxidizing agent . 4. Add sani zing tablets (Bromine or
Chlorine) to the dispenser:
Your Hydropool hot tub comes with a built in bromine/ chlorine dispenser,
(located in the lid of the cartridge filter housing), refer to sec on
CARTRIDGE FILTER for details on removing and re-installing the lid. Once the
filter lid is removed, you’ll no ce a clear 2.5 cm (1″) diameter tube
extending from the bo om of the lid.
DISPENSER
Expose the large Refill hole at the end of the tube and add 5 or 6 tablets. Do
not overfill dispenser as performance will be affected. Turn to expose the
largest area and allow water to circulate for 3 or 4 hours before tes ng
level. Adjust to lesser area as necessary to maintain a level of 2 4 PPM Sani
zer.
Floa ng dispenser: As above, add 6 or 7 tablets, adjust ini ally to `5′, allow
water to circulate for 3 to 4 hours, then test.
The tablets will dissolve slowly over a 10-14 day period, depending on se ng,
and use of the hot tub.
5 Test pH and Total Alkalinity and also adjust accordingly. Expose the large
Refill hole at the end of the tube and add 5 or 6 tablets. Do not overfill
dispenser as performance will be affected. Turn to expose the largest area and
allow water to circulate for 3 to 4 hours before tes ng level. Adjust to
lesser area as necessary to maintain a level of 2-4 PPM Sani zer.

GLOSSARY OF COMMON WATER MAINTENANCE TERMS
1. CHLORINE in granular, liquid or puck/tablet form, is an oxidant and
biocidal agent. It is very effec ve and fast ac ng. Recommended chlorine
residual level is 3.0 to 5.0 ppm.
2. CHLORAMINES a compound formed when chlorine combines with nitrogen or
ammonia present in the water. When allowed to go unchecked, it causes eye and
skin irrita on and is indicated by a strong chlorine odor.
3. ONE-PART BROMINE also available in puck/tablet form, is another type of
oxidant/biocidal agent, and is introduced into the hot tub water via a
brominator. Recommended bromine residual level is 3.0 to 5.0 ppm
4. TWO-PART BROMINE composed of a liquid or powder component introduced
manually into the water on a weekly basis, and a granular component that is
added daily or as the hot tub is used.
5. BROMAMINES are formed when bromine destroys nitrogen-bearing organic ma
er. Unlike chloramines, bromamines don’t cause eye irrita on, however, when
allowed to go unchecked, will cause an objec onable odour.
6. SHOCK the prac ce of adding an oxidizing agent to hot tub water to
destroy ammonia, nitrogenous and organic contaminants (chloramines and
bromamines)
7. pH a logarithmic value expressing the rela ve acidity or basicity of a
substance (such as hot tub water) as indicated by the hydrogen ion concentra
on. pH is expressed as a number on a scale of 0 to 14, where 0 is most acidic,
1 to 7 being acidic, 7 considered neutral, 7 to 14 being basic, and 14 being
most basic. The ideal range for hot tub water is 7.4 to 7.6 ppm
8. pH INCREASER raises the pH level of the water.
9. pH DECREASER lowers the pH level of the water.
10. TOTAL ALKALINITY (TA) the amount of carbonate, bicarbonate and
hydroxide compounds present in the water that determines the ability or
capacity of the water to resist change in pH. Also known as the buffering’ capacity. 11\. ALKALINITY BOOSTER raises the alkalinity. 12\. CALCIUM HARDNESS the calcium por on of the total alkalinity which represents 70 to 75% of total hardness. Calcium concentra ons determine whether water isso ‘ – too li le calcium, or hard’ -too much calcium. 13\. CALCIUM BOOSTER increases the calcium level. 14\. TOTAL DISSOLVED SOLIDS (TDS) a measure of the total amount of dissolved ma er in the water (calcium, carbonates, bicarbonates, magnesium, metallic compounds, etc.) 15\. SEQUESTERANTS (STAIN AND SCALE CONTROLLERS) keeps dissolved metals and minerals in the water from a acking the hot tub shell and support equipment components. 16\. DEFOAMER removes foam build-up from the water surface. At best, this is a temporary remedy, as excessive foam is merely a symptom of improper water balance (typically high organic residue and/or high pH). 17\. CARTRIDGE FILTER CLEANER degreases and cleans cartridge filters. 18\. OZONATOR generates Ozone (a gaseous molecule composed of 3 atoms of oxygen) and is injected into the hot tub water for the oxida on of water contaminants. 19\. TEST KIT used to monitor specific chemical residual or demands in the water. May be in the form of litmus strips or liquid drops. 20\. PPM abbrevia on forparts per million’, the unit of measurement used
in chemical tes ng which indicates the parts by weight in rela on to one
million parts by weight of water. Essen ally iden cal to the term mg/L –
milligrams per liter.

sponge can help in preventing this in the future. Increase filter cycle time.
Prevent by running an extra rinse cycle on washing machine or re-rinse well by
hand
Excess organic contaminants
Some organic matter is prone to causing foamy water as it breaks down in the
filter (maple leaves especially). Generally using defoamer to break up the
contaminants, then a clarifier
To help filter them away followed by thoroughly cleaning your filter will
clear up the problem. It may however be necessary to drain and refill your spa
if the foaming is quite excessive.
Low Calcium Hardness
Presence of metals in water (iron, copper, etc)
Test calcium hardness and if necessary increase with calcium chloride
Test total alkalinity levels and if necessary increase with sodium
bicarbonate
Presence of metals in water (iron, copper, etc) Low Total Alkalinity levels
High Total Alkalinity levels
Treat with chelating or sequestering agent
Test total alkalinity levels and if necessary increase with sodium
bicarbonate
Test total alkalinity levels and if necessary decrease with sodium bisulfate
or muriatic acid*

QUARTERLY Drain hot tub at least once per quarter and clean the acrylic shell
surface with a non-abrasive cleaner designed specifically for acrylic
surfaces. See sections CHANGING THE HOT TUB WATER and DRAINING YOUR HOT TUB
CLEANING THE SKIMMER BASKET
1 Activate the STANDBY/DRAIN ASSIST mode 2 Remove the skimmer basket by
pulling the weir door
forward, and pulling the basket up and towards the front 3 Remove debris from
basket. (Note: Avoid hitting the
basket against objects to knock debris loose as this may damage the unit) 4
Reinsert basket 5 Take the system out of STANDBY/DRAIN ASSIST mode, and as the
pump begins to operate, monitor water flow over the weir door to assure that
it is free floating
NOTE: HYDROPOOL reserves the right to void the warranty of your spa if there is any indication of the use of products containing Hydrogen Peroxide.
SAFETY HARD COVER When a hot tub is uncovered, over 90% of heat is lost from
the water surface. This evaporation also affects the chemical balance and
could create humidity problems indoors. HYDROPOOL Safety Hard Covers are
engineered for maximum thermal efficiency and appearance. They are hinged in
the middle for easier handling, and the zip fastener allows the tapered foam
inserts to be changed if damaged. The skirt of the safety hard cover hugs the
lip of the hot tub for a tight fit. The locks, with one part fastened to the
deck or skirt, prevent small children or animals from entering the hot tub. Do
not drag the safety hard cover across the hot tub or decking. Standing on the
hardcover could cause the tapered foam inserts to crack, which will lead to
water absorption.
NEVER LEAN OR STAND ON YOUR HARDCOVER. The cover should be cleaned at least
twice a year with a vinyl moisturizer and protector.
NOTE: ALWAYS ENSURE THE SAFETY HARDCOVER IS IN PLACE AND LOCKED WHENEVER THE
HOT TUB IS NOT BEING USED. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE DAMAGE OR CRACKING OF
THE ACRYLIC SURFACE NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY.
44
CARTRIDGE FILTER The cartridge should be cleaned every two to four weeks,
depending on the amount of use. Signs that the filter requires
cleaning include: · Reduced jet power · Hazy gray water · Rattling noise in
the pump or filter · Heater not working
LOCKING RING
AIR VENT VALVE
FILTER LID
REMOVAL 1 Activate the STANDBY/DRAIN ASSIST mode. 2 Remove the filter cover
and open the small, black air vent /
bleeder valve on the top of the filter lid. 3 Lift the gray lock tab to
disengage and turn the locking ring
counter clockwise. 4 Pull the filter lid upwards, and lift the cartridge
elements
straight up and out of filter housing.
CLEANING
5 With a garden hose and spray nozzle, hose off the cartridge element,
ensuring to carefully separate every pleat.
6 To remove collected lotions, body oils, etc. soak the cartridge in warm
water and a filter cleaning/emulsifying compound (available at your HYDROPOOL
retailer).
7 A cleaning cylinder may be purchased from your HYDROPOOL Hot tub Retailer.
8 Rinse thoroughly and dry before replacing. 9 Hydropool recommends purchasing
a spare filter cartridge
so that you always have a clean substitute ready to rotate. 10 After the
element has dried – if necessary, lightly brush
between pleats with a fine paint-brush to remove remaining dirt particles.
BUILT IN CHEMICAL DISPENSER
CARTRIDGE FILTER ELEMENT
FILTER HOUSING
CLEANING THE ACRYLIC SURFACE The acrylic surface can be cleaned and polished
using a soft cloth and acrylic cleaner, available at your Hydropool retailer.
Do not use a wire brush or other devise to clean cartridge element. Do not put
in dishwasher or washing machine.
RE-INSTALLATION 11 Place the cartridge filter back into the filter housing. 12
Replace the filter housing lid, pushing it down to seat,
ensuring that the lid o-ring does not become twisted. 13 Hydropool recommends
that the lid o-ring be lubricated
with a non-petroleum based lubricant (i.e. Silicone gel) when it becomes dry.
This will help to prevent twisting and pinching as the lid is installed, and
significantly increase longevity of the o-ring. 14 Install the filter lock-
ring, turning clockwise until the lock tab snaps into place. 15 Close the air
vent/bleeder valve. 16 Take the system out of STANDBY/DRAIN ASSIST mode. 17
When the pump starts circulating on low speed, it will be necessary to release
trapped air in the filter. Carefully loosen the air vent/bleeder valve
counter-clockwise until there is the hissing sound of air escaping. Once there
is a steady stream of water, close the vent valve, ensuring that the o-ring
does not become pinched.
· Important: Do not use detergents the remaining residues will adversely affect water chemistry, making it difficult to maintain proper water balance · Do Not use abrasive cleaners damage to the acrylic surface will occur.

CHANGING THE HOT TUB WATER A hot tub should be drained every 8-12 weeks,
depending
on size and amount of use. If your hot tub is used daily or by
a large number of bathers, the water should be drained more often. One method
to determine the approximate
length of time between water changes is to divide the water volume (in liters)
of your hot tub by 13.5 and then divide by
the average number of bathers each day.
Formula
(___ ÷ 13.5 ) ÷ (____) = (____)
Volume of water in liters
Average daily bathers
Days between
water changes
EXAMPLE: 1000 liters divided by 13.5 divided by 2 = 37 days. The hot tub water
must be changed when the amount of dissolved solids becomes excessive, and is
usually indicated by “gray” or dull looking water.
DRAINING YOUR HOT TUB HYDROPOOL EXCLUSIVE QUICK-DRAINTM & FILL REFER TO
DIAGRAM
OVERVIEW · Requires the use of 2 garden hoses – drain hose and fill hose ·
While first garden hose is draining old water from hot tub… ·…second hose is
used to wash down interior surface of the hot tub and for fresh water fill.
11 To completely flush the old water from the plumbing lines: allow fresh
water to fill into the foot-well area while the old water continues to be
pumped out. Always keep at least 10cm (4 in.) of water in the foot-well so
that pump 1 remains primed.
12 When the water from the drain hose turns clear (indicating fresh fill
water), flush is complete.
13 Turn OFF the filtration pump. 14 Close the drain-hose bib on the hot tub
plumbing line and
continue filling hot tub with fresh water. 15 Place cover on hot tub (to avoid
splash-out). 16 Open filtration pump return gate valve. 17 Press the stop key
and cancel to exit the drain mode on
the topside control panel (other than the pump 1 button) to take the system
out of STANDBY/DRAIN ASSIST mode. Filtration pump and the heater will
activate to circulate and heat the water while filling continues. This also
reduces the possibility of an airlock occurring. 18 Continue adding fresh fill
water until level is approximately 19mm (3/4 in.) from the top of the skimmer
opening. 19 Once fill is complete, remove the #10 rubber expansion plug from
the bottom of the skimmer housing. 20 If the filter housing was opened to
replace the cartridge filter, it will be necessary to release trapped air from
the filter housing by carefully loosening the small black air vent/bleeder
valve located on the top of the filter housing. When water begins to escape
close the air vent valve. 21 In the unlikely event of a pump air lock (pump 1
is operating but there is no water movement from the jets), refer to section
PUMP PRIMING/RELEASING AN AIR LOCK
It may be necessary to put system into STANDBY/ DRAIN ASSIST mode in order
to remove plug.
REFER TO FIGURE 1 & FIGURE 2 1 Locate nearest drain facility (Check your local
bylaws). 2 Put the hot tub control system into STANDBY/DRAIN
ASSIST* mode. The system will automatically exit Standby Mode after 1 hour and
resume normal operating functions. 3 Remove the skimmer basket so that the
hole beneath it is accessible, and insert the #10 rubber expansion plug or
plastic threaded plug provided. 4 Attach garden hose to hose bib located on
plumbing line beside the hot tub control system. 5 Run garden hose to drain
location. 6 Open hose bib. 7 Close filtration pump return gate valve next to
the hose bib (this directs the water out the drain hose). 8 Activate the
filtration pump. 9 Monitor the hot tub while it drains. 10 Use the second
garden hose to wash down interior surface as the hot tub continues to drain. A
sponge may also be used to wipe down the interior surface.

WATER SOFTENERS
Never fill a hot tub with water from a water softener, as it could adversely
effect the water chemistry, making it difficult to maintain proper water
balance. If you live in an area with hard or soft water, give careful
attention to your Calcium Hardness level. Topping up with soft water is
acceptable.

PROTECTING YOUR CABINET EVERLAST FINISH
Some HYDROPOOL hot tub cabinets are made from Everlast synthetic plastic
material. These cabinets utilize a magnetic latching system to fasten and hold
the exterior panels in place. In order to remove a panel for access you need
to start at the lower right hand corner of the panel and disengage the first
magnetic latch by pulling the panel forward enough to allow your hand to get
behind the panel. Once you have done that you can run your hand behind the
panel to disengage the other magnetic latches and be able to remove the panel
completely. To reinstall the panel, line the panel up in the opening and lift
it in place and the magnetic latches will engage with the panel so you can
shift it place and complete the reinstallation. HYDROPOOL spa Everlast
Synthetic cabinets are made from a unique, non-porous all-weather plastic
material and with proper care will maintain its beauty for many years.
CLEANING Using hot soapy water and a stiff bristle brush, a soft cloth or
sponge will remove surface dirt and grime. Stains can be removed with a water-
based cleaner (E.g. Windex, Pledge, Simple Green, etc.). You can also use a
power washer with a medium/ wide nozzle setting to clean the surface of the
product. Cleaning every few months is recommended.
…CAUTION: Do not use cleaners containing aromatic solvents or harsh detergent
/chemicals on Everlast” material. If dirt and surface contaminants are causing
a dirty/brownish tint, an extra step can be taken. Use a 75% bleach and 25%
water mixture and wipe the surfaces down. Allow the mixture to remain on the
product for an hour, then rinse thoroughly. (Be sure to do this in a safe
location and protect your eyes, skin, and wear old clothes). MAINTENANCE Your
HYDROPOOL `Everlast’ cabinet is made from a next-generation outdoor premium
synthetic material. If the material is damaged during use (scratched or
chipped), it can often be repaired. Repairing Scratches — Take a very fine
grade of steel wool (0000 grade) and “sand” the scratched area in the same
direction that the embossing pattern runs. Apply enough pressure to gradually
minimize the scratched area. Once the scratches are reduced, the surface area
may appear dull and possibly even lighter in color; however, this will be less
noticeable over time and with outdoor exposure. To finish the repair, apply
liquid paste such as Finesse-it, furniture polish or carnauba wax and buff
using auto paint repair buffing wheel to a finish.

WINTERIZING YOUR HYDROPOOL HOT TUB
In the event that you do not wish to use your hot tub year-round, it is very
important that you properly winterize it to protect against damage from
freezing. Your HYDROPOOL retailer can perform this service for a nominal fee.
If you choose to winterize your hot tub yourself, please follow the direc ons
outlined below:
1. Drain the hot tub en rely. See sec on – DRAINING YOUR HOT TUB. 2. Remove
and clean the filter cartridge. See sec on – CARTRIDGE FILTER. 3. Remove all
of the jet inserts that are removable, any suc on covers, water diverter
cap(s) and waterfall
control valve cap(s). 4. Using a wet / dry u lity vacuum, remove remaining
water from the jet openings, filter cartridge housing and
footwell. 5. Using the blower side of the vacuum, posi on the blower nozzle
into the top of the water diverter cap to
blow out any water remaining in the plumbing lines so that the excess water
will come out the jet bodies. 6. Replace all of the water diverter caps and
and waterfall control valve caps ensuring all gaskets are in place. 7. At the
equipment end, loosen one union from each pump so that any excess water in
each pump can be
vacuumed out completely. 8. Either pour or use a turkey baster where necessary
to add potable biodegradable RV an freeze to areas such
as pump wet ends, jet channels, filter housing and any blower channels. 9.
Reinstall all jet inserts and all suc on covers.
DO NOT USE AUTOMOTIVE ANTIFREEZE.
· Important: mixing potable biodegradable RV an freeze with water
significantly reduces its ability to protect against freezing. Therefore, it
is very important ALL water is removed from the hot tub plumbing before
adding. · Add potable RV an freeze to the holes in the bo om suc on/drain to
prevent any trapped water in the false floor from freezing and damaging the
hot tub shell. · Turn pump on for only a few seconds to circulate the an
freeze. · Unthread and disconnect all unions in the support equipment area.
Remove lowest winter drain plug on pump face plate. Repeat for all pumps,
where applicable.
· Cover exposed plumbing connec ons with plas c bags and duct tape. · Where
prac cal, disconnect hot tub support equipment and store in a dry heated area.
· Install the safety hardcover, and cover the en re hot tub with a tarp to
prevent premature weathering of
the cabinet and the safety hard cover. · Remove snow build up regularly to
prevent damage to the safety hard cover. · It is assumed that your HYDROPOOL
hot tub has been properly installed on a reinforced concrete pad to
eliminate li ing of the hot tub due to hydrosta c ground water pressure.
If you are not 100% confident that your hot tub is properly winterized, please
consult your authorized HYDROPOOL Hot Tub Retailer. Caution recommends that an
authorized Hydropool Retailer winterize your hot tub in the initial year.
Damage as a result of freezing is not covered by the warranty.

GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING
WHAT TO DO IN THE EVENT OF POWER FLUCTUATIONS The power supply into your home
is, for the most part, fairly consistent. However, when local power demand is
high, there is a tendency for the voltage entering your home to drop
(sometimes significantly) or fluctuate. This condition is referred to as a
brown-out’. Although safeguards have been built into the system to protect against this condition, supply voltage may drop low enough, if even for a second, to cause the system to display aghost’ message. Should this occur or
if the display shows partial messages, try resetting the system by turning
power to the swim spa, waiting a few minutes, then turning power on again. If
this does not reset the system, contact your local HYDROPOOL retailer or
service organization. POWER FAILURE OR SYSTEM FAULT DURING COLD WEATHER
CONDITIONS If your control system will not reset, (i.e. GFCI trips) or if your
pump will not circulate for any other reason, place a low wattage space heater
under the cabinet in the equipment area. This will delay the risk of freezing
while a service appointment is scheduled.
Always follow the manufacturers instructions when locating and placing a
portable electric space heater into service. Ensure that safe clearance to
combustible surfaces is maintained. Do not leave unattended.
