FIRST USE AND SETUP PREPARATION

Site preparation and requirements

  • The spa can be installed indoors or outdoors in around 10 minutes by one or more persons. For household use only.
  • The spa must be set up on a flat, smooth and supporting surface that is able to bear the maximum load of the filled spa with the listed maximum  number of occupants. Check with a qualified contractor or structural engineer to verify the requirement.
  • Make sure the area is free of sharp objects under or around the spa. Uneven or unsound surface can damage the spa and void your warranty. Level the surface before filling the spa with water.
  • Provide an adequate drainage system around the spa to deal with overflow water and splashes. Provider a convenient water supply for filling the spa that complies with any local water regulations, and whose parameters shall be adjusted with the requirements of the water treatment section.
  • Make sure there is enough clearance around the spa for full access to the equipment for maintenance and/or servicing.
  • Consider positioning the spa to minimize noise disturbance as much as possible.

Additional requirements for indoor installation

  • Humidity is a natural side effect of indoor spa installation. The room must be properly ventilated to allow moisture to escape. Install a ventilating  system to prevent excess condensation moisture in the room.
  • Ensure the spa can be removed from the building without destroying any part of the built structure.
  • Consider any local regulations on these topics.
  • Consider not to install the spa on carpet or other floor materials that promote or harbor moisture and bacterial, or that could be affected by water treatment chemicals used in the spa.

Additional requirements for outdoor installation

  • Do not set up the spa on grass or dirt, as this will increase the amount of debris entering the spa and will damage the floor.
  • To ensure a longer lifespan, do not leave the spa tub exposed to direct sunlight.
  • Always keep the manometer within the yellow section when using the spa at a temperature higher than 20°C (68°F) or when exposing it to sunlight for a short time.
  • Do not install or use the spa outdoors at a temperature lower than 4°C (39°F). Do not use the spa when the water inside the circulation system, pump, or pipework is frozen. Put a heat preservation mat (optional accessories) between the base of the spa and the ground to prevent heat loss from the bottom of the spa and to provide better heat retention.
  • Consider local environmental conditions, such as ground water and risk of frost.

WATER MAINTENANCE AND CHEMICALS

CAUTION: ALWAYS ENSURE THE SPA IS UNPLUGGED BEFORE BEGINNING ANY MAINTENANCE WORK TO AVOID THE RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH.

FILTER CARTRIDGE MAINTENANCE

  1. Inspect and clean the filter cartridge gently after each use. Follow the steps below:
    Maintenance
    NOTE: Change the filter cartridge every 3-5 days, or if the filter cartridge remains soiled and discolored.
    NOTE: When the spa is filled with water, there should always be a filter cartridge installed on the base.
    NOTE: Turn off all the functions before changing or cleaning the filter cartridge.

  2. If the spa’s inlet or outlet becomes clogged with dirt, use the wrench to unscrew the cap and then clean as necessary.
    NOTE: Before unscrewing the part, make sure the spa is empty. Never unscrew it when the spa is filled with water!

SPA WATER

  1. Change the spa water every 3-5 days depending on use. If dirt is visible in the water or if the water becomes cloudy and the correct water chemistry does not clear it up, change the water and clean the spa tub. See the “Cleaning, draining and storage” section for instructions.
  2. We recommend taking a shower before using the spa, as cosmetic products, lotions and other residues on the skin can quickly degrade the water quality.
  3. When the spa is not in use, cover it with the buckle cover to prevent pollution.
  4. Use spa chemicals to maintain the proper water conditions. Spa damage resulting from the misuse of chemicals or the mismanagement of spa water is not covered by the warranty. Consult with your local spa or pool retailer for more information on chemical use.

Water Sanitation

The spa owner must regularly check and keep the spa water sanitized with scheduled maintenance (daily, if necessary). Adding sanitizer or other chemicals will control bacteria and the reproduction of viruses in the spa water. Maintaining the correct water balance through the appropriate use of sanitizers is the most important factor in maximizing the life and appearance of the spa and ensuring clean, healthy and safe water.
Adopting the proper technique is important for testing and treating the spa water. Contact your spa professional if you have any questions on chemicals, sanitizers, test kits or test procedures.

Water Balance

Follow the instructions below to maintain your spa water.

Water Balance

NOTE

  • A low pH will damage the spa tub and pump. Any damage resulting from a chemical imbalance will void the warranty.
  • A high pH (hard water) will result in white coagulations inside the filter pump, which may lead to pump damage.

Water Treatment:

  • It is good practice with an existing spa to keep all air jets open and valves closed to allow chemically treated water to flush through all pipework.
  • Always follow the chemical manufacturer’s directions, and the health and hazard warning.
  • Never mix chemicals together. Add the chemicals to the spa water separately. Thoroughly dissolve each chemical before adding it to the water.
  • Please note that chlorine and bromine products should never be mixed. This is extremely dangerous. If you usually use chlorine-based products and you want to switch to bromine-based products, or vice versa, it is essential that you change the spa water first.
  • Do not add chemicals if the spa is occupied. This can cause skin or eye irritation.
  • Do not overuse chemicals or use concentrated chlorine. This can damage the spa tub and cause potential hazard to your skin. Improper chemical use will void the warranty.

DRAINAGE, CLEANING AND STORAGE

Spa Drainage

  1. Turn off all the functions.
  2. Connect the drain valve adaptor to a garden hose and point the other end of the garden hose to a suitable draining area.
  3. Remove the drain valve cap from the outside of the spa tub and attach the drain valve adaptor to the drain valve.
  4. On the inside of the spa tub, open the drain valve cap. Water will start flowing out from the garden hose.
  5. When the water stops draining, lift the spa tub wall from the side opposite the drain, directing any remaining water to the drain and emptying the spa completely.
  6. Press the BUBBLE button to dry the spa pool.
  7. Use a clean towel to wipe up any remaining water and moisture on the spa tub and spa control unit. Ensure the spa tub and spa control unit are thoroughly dried.

  1. Drain and clean the spa by following the “Drainage” and “Spa Cleaning” sections.
  2. Refer to the instructions to deflate the spa tub and air bladder.
  3. Make sure all the spa components and accessories are thoroughly clean and dry before storage. Air-dry the spa tub in the mild sun for an hour before folding.
  4. Fold the spa tub loosely and avoid any sharp corners to prevent damage or leakage to the spa liner.
  5. Prepare new additional cartridge for next time use.
  6. Store the spa and accessories in a dry, temperature-controlled environment, between 0°C and 40°C (32°F – 104°F). We recommend storing the spa with desiccant.
  7. The original packaging is recommended for storage.
  8. After long-term storage, fill the spa with clean water and sanitizer, and turn on the FILTER for at least 1 hour before use.

PRECAUTIONS FOR SEASONAL USE

Inflatable hot tubs are made of reinforced PVC material, whose nature decides the hot tubs are easily affected by weather and temperature. Please do pay special attention when using the spa under different seasonal conditions.

In Summer / Sunny days

Direct sunshine and hot weather will both lead the spa liner to expand.

  • To extend the service life of the spa, it is suggested to place the spa in a sheltered place.
  • Please check the air pressure regularly. The manometer should always point to the Green section when spa is filled with water. When leaving the spa outdoors unattended for long periods of time, release some air until the manometer points to the Yellow section. This will prevent the spa liner from expanding too much due to rising temperature during the daytime.
  • To protect your skin from sunburn, it is highly recommended to enjoy the spa in the morning or evening when the sunlight is milder and temperature is more comforting.
  • Check the water temperature and consider lowering it for the times when the spa is not in use. Turn off the heater entirely if not using the spa for an extended period of time.

In Winter

Inflation

Low temperature will harden the PVC material and make it more fragile.

  • The new spa might have been stored or transported at a low temperature (below 4°C / 39°F) before it is unfolded. Put the package indoors or somewhere warm for 12 hours to soften the material before use.
  • The lower the temperature is, the more air the spa tub will require, and the longer the inflation will take. After water is heated to a much higher temperature, the air inside the chamber will get swollen. To shorten the inflation period, and to reduce the expansion of the spa liner, we suggest inflating the spa at a temperature higher than 15°C / 59°F. If the ambient temperature is below 0°C / 39°F, the spa should not be inflated.
  • *In rare cases – usually happens when inflate the spa around 0°C/39°F, the auto-inflation will stop before reaching the required pressure. This is because the inflation takes too long that it reaches the time limitation set to prevent the spa from over-inflation. Simply press Bubble and Up button again will reactivate the auto-inflation.

Heating and Heat Preservation

In cold weather, heating the water up will take much more time. It is suggested to:

  • Fill the spa tub with lukewarm water (not higher than 40°C / 104°F) to get it heated it more quickly.
  • Use ground mat and inflatable bladder for better heat preservation effect.
  • When the outdoor temperature is below 4°C(39°F), even when not using the spa, as long as it is filled with water, the heater should always be turned on (or put the spa in stand-by mode) to prevent water from freezing.
  • Your spa is equipped with an Anti-icing System. Put the spa in stand-by mode, when the water temperature falls below 1°C/33.8°F, the heater runs automatically until the water is heated up to 3°C/37.4°F. This will help prevent water from freezing. If you are not going to use the spa in near future,please disassemble the spa and store it following the storage procedure.

In Rainy days

For the spa that is placed outdoors, do not use it when it rains.
If the spa is placed under rain shelter, do not turn on the bubble function. This is because the rain in the nearby air will also be sucked into the pump, causing the bubble generator to get damp and rusty which could result in malfunction and void your warranty.
It is recommended to put the plug and socket somewhere not exposed to rain to prevent damage caused by water accumulation due to excessive rain.
