SPA WITH SKIMMER
Spas without overflows have a different setup. No balance tank is required; instead, the Spa water is suctioned directly via a skimmer. When users enter the Spa, the water level rises; the tub may overflow if the number of users exceeds the indications for each Spa.

The installation of both Spas with overflows and Spas with skimmers include the recirculation circuit, water massage, air massage and an electrical installation, all of which are detailed below.

RECIRCULATION CIRCUIT
The function of this circuit is to maintain the quality of the Spa water. This is achieved by means of water recirculation through a purification filter, a heating system and a disinfection system.

• SPA WITH OVERFLOW
  Given that the Spa has an overflow, it is essential to maintain the water level constant and at maximum level. In order to achieve this, it is necessary to install a balance tank installed in series with the recirculation circuit. Doing so will compensate the fluctuations in level caused by variations in the number of bathers.

Although there are different ways of setting up the recirculation circuit, we proceed to detail the two most popular systems: “Floor suction” and “Floor return”. Check the regulations in force in each country in order to establish which system is best.

SPA FLOOR SUCTION
This option makes it possible to collect part of the recirculate on water from the Spa floor drain.

The filtered water is absorbed both from the balance tank (mostly) and the Spa floor drain via the filter pump, and is directed towards the sand filter, the heating and the ozonate or disinfection system; to be directed towards the Spa via the return nozzles.

SPA FLOOR RETURN
This option allows you to direct part of the already filtered and heated water both via the return nozzles and via the Spa floor drain. The filtered water is only suctioned from the balance tank by the filter pump and is directed toward the sand filter, the heating and the ozoniser or disinfection system, to then be directed towards the Spa via the return nozzles and the Spa floor drain.

HEATING CIRCUIT
The basic components present in all heating circuits are:

• FILTER PUMP
  Designed to carry out the filter and heating circuit, recycling the water of the Spa in approximately 6 to 20 minutes. Suctions from the Skimmer or Surge Tank, directing the water through the filter and electric heating, via the return nozzle.
  

• ELECTRIC HEAT EXCHANGER
  This makes it possible to maintain the desired temperature. It must be placed in the filter circuit after the filter, so as to avoid air bubbles accumulating inside. The heat exchanger incorporates a safety thermostat with manual reset. This avoids the heat exchanger from being damaged if the Spa is started up without any water circulating.
  

• FILTER
  Element which filters in order to ensure thewater is of an adequate quality. The size of the filter is determined on the basis of:

• Volume of the Spa.

• Water recirculation time.

• Filtering speed.

• Filtering surface

• FLOW SENSOR
  Safety device designed to prevent the heat exchanger from operating if there is no water flow in the filtration circuit.

WATER MASSAGE CIRCUIT
The water is suctioned by the massage pump through the drainpipes and is returned to the Spa via high speed jets. There can be several massage circuits in a single Spa, each activated by a massage pump. Depending on the Spa and the number of jets it has, there may be one, two or even three massage pumps. In order to boost the water massage a connection is made with an ambient air intake. This way, when the water circulates through, thanks to the Venturi effect, the air is suctioned, creating the air-water mix and producing a more intense massage.

Keep reading to see the general diagram of water spa massage.

• BLOWER PUMP
  Continued use blower pump for Compact Kit in public use installations. They operate with a 400 V AC III electrical supply as standard.

• AIR CIRCUIT
  The mission of the air circuit is to return air from the blower pump to the Spa. The air is distributed inside the Spa via a series of blowing nozzles located on the floor or on the seats of the Spa.

Handling and locating the spa

• Handling of the Spa must be done very carefully and in a controlled manner by several persons.
• The Spa must never be hold by the pipes.
• The Spa should be installed following the criteria below.
• No material should be used or located below the Spa and around it (in a minimum perimeter of one meter) unless it is completely resistant to humidity and water. The Spa warranty does not cover any damage to materials, decorative or ornamental objects that may deteriorate due to flooding or atmospheric humidity.
• The Spa must be located in a duly adapted space which is adequate for withstanding significant damp and condensation. If this is not so, the warranty will not cover material or personal damages.
• It is essential to have an adequately sized drain for draining out any water that could reach the area under the Spa.
• The base where the Spa will be installed should be large and strong enough to with stand the weight of the Spa, the water and the users. If this is not so, the warranty will not cover the damages caused. Check the building regulations in force.
• Prior to the installation, if you believe that for any reason you may have to extract the Spa from its initial location, you should take this factor into account, and avoid having to break down masonry or structures and pipes should the Spa have to be unassembled. The warranty does not include repair of any damages caused in this instance.

Advices to build foundations

Below we provide some basic advice as to how to build foundations for the Spa. It is essential to comply with building regulations in force in all cases

Equidistant reinforcement rods in both directions

The Spa is supplied with a metal structure to make installation easier. This structure has several support points. Before filling up the Spa, these levelling points must be regulated so that all of them are in contact with the ground.

The Spa must be completely supported by the support structure, and must never be supported by its upper edge; otherwise the possible bending would cause the Spa
shell to break.

In order to seal the lip of the Spa to the foundations, use elastic silicone special for water installations

Once the Spa has been correctly fitted, finish the installation taking into account that you must leave a free passage of at least 400mm around the shell for possible maintenance works. Never place elements that may touch the body of the Spa, pipes or accessories in this area. Leave a trapdoor or accessway around the Spa for maintenance.

Never fill in the Spa’s upper edge with cement or any other material that may have an expansion / contraction different to that of the Spa shell. The Spa would end up cracking. Never fill in with concrete the Spa’s pipes or accessories.

Electrical connections

Some advices to take into account before doing electrical connections:

• Pumps neutral wire remains free.
• Make sure the power supply is unconnected before starting the installation procedure.
• Respect indicated cable sections and distance between components.

To ensure a proper management of the electronic signals the distance between the components should not exceed the following:

Electronic push buttons – Electronic Board ……..15m
Spa-Hydraulic kit (Pumps) ……..7m
Balance Tank (Capacitive level sensors) – Electronic Board ……..15m
Heater (Temperature sensor) – Electronic Board ……..6m
Solenoid Valve – Electronic Board ……..20m

The connection of the PTC sensor must be made via an own channel in order to avoid possible interferences. Connect the Heater power supply to the electrical control board as follows:

• Open the rear housing of the Heater
• Connect the following outputs with the corresponding inputs of the electric control box.
• Neutral and Ground remain free:
  

PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD

REMOTE SPA PUSH BUTTONS CONNECTION

LIGHT
Connect directly to the M6 output of the PCB. Can be switched off or on from the front control panel of the electrical box.

OTHER ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

• Connect the three level sensors supplied with the balance tank directly to the M9 input of the PCB.
• Connect ozone wire directly to the grid 5-6 input of the electrical box.
• Connect the electric control box to the power supply

ATTENTION
Make sure all the hydraulic and electrical / electronical connections are done before connecting the electric control box to the power supply. It is mandatory to use packing glands for all the connections coming out of the cabinet and the junction box. It is mandatory to use terminals in all connections in order to preserve the integrity of the leads.

Hydraulic connection

KIT INSTALLATION
The compact kit must be below the Spa level. This avoids having to prime the pumps. The maximum difference in level is 2 metres below (h ≤2m).

Spas with overflow have a balance tank, which has a double function:

• Absorbing the water displaced by the people who enter the Spa.
• Ensuring the filtration pump is never left without water.

To correctly install this tank, it should be placed as near as possible to the Spa, below the level of the overflow, so that the overflow can evacuate all the water.

KIT TO SPA CONNECTION
Use a hard pipe or flexible hose of an appropriate resistance. Check the regulations in force in each country.

You must use the same pipe diameter as that of the Spa’s connection; these diameters are sized for optimal performance of the kit. Use the right glue for each material. In any case, it will be necessary to minimize the installation of elbow fittings and pipe length to reduce the drop of pressure in the installation.

The Spa’s connections with couplings are marked with stickers indicating the circuit and the water flow direction.

Before and after each pump and on the heat exchanger outlet, place a ball or guillotine valve for carrying out maintenance or replacements on these elements.

Recirculating circuit connection

SPA WITH OVERFLOW
Spa Connection – Balance Tank

Connect the overflow pipes to the balance tank. The pipes should be sloping sufficiently to ensure the water evacuates by gravity. Under no circumstance should siphons be created that could prevent water circulation. The diameter of the pipes for collecting water from the overflow should be calculated in such a way that the water does not exceed the recommended speed by the regulations in force. Connect a drainpipe in the upper part of the balance tank; its function is to evacuate possible excess water preventing the deposit from overflowing. Connect the balance tank outlet with the filter pump suction, placing a check valve between the deposit and the pump.

The outlet will have to be placed below or at the same level as the bottom of the balance tank. Spa with overflow.

Connection between Balance Tank – Compact Kit

Connect the filter pump outlet to the filter’s selector valve (depending on the kit model, this connection may already been made). Connect the selector valve outlet with the water inlet of the heat exchanger (depending on the kit model this connection may already be made). If your Spa has the ozone option, follow the instructions indicated in the Ozoniser installation sheet now.

For the selector valve connections, always use plastic accessories, gasket and Teflon tape. Under no circumstance should you use metal accessories or tubing, which could seriously damage the plastic components.

Connection between Spa – Compact Kit

If your spa has a spa floor cleaning connection; connect the floor cleaning outlet with the filter pump inlet making the connection in parallel with the other inlets to this pump. You must place a ball valve between the outlet and the pump which will normally remain closed.

• Option A Spa Floor Suction: Connect the Spa floor drain to an inlet in parallel to the filter pump. Place a ball or guillotine valve between this connections.
• Option B Spa Floor Return: No operation is required.

Connection between Compact Kit – Spa

Connect the heat exchanger with the Spa filter return sleeves.

• Option A Spa Floor Suction: Place a check valve between the exchanger outlet and the inlet to the spa.
• Option B Spa Floor Return: Connect the exchanger outlet with the Spa floor drain, in parallel with the filter return via the return nozzles.

Installation of level sensors
In order to ensure that the recirculating circuit always contains water, you must install the level senors in the balance tank. These will control the opening and closing of a filling solenoid valve.

Look at the following diagram.

S0 Safety probe
SMIN Mínimum level probe
SMAX Maximum level probe
EL Electric control box
EV Electric valve (not included)
A Network water inlet
B Deposit overflow
C Spa overflow water inlet
D Water outlet towards filtration
Ht Total height

S0 sensor has to be placed above the bottom outlet pipe. Smin sensor has to be placed above S0 sensor. There must be more water than the volume displaced by all bathers between Smin and Smax. Smax has to be placed below the top drain.. The level sensors have to be attached to outer side of the balance tank. The system will be automatically blocked when water level is below so sensor. The electric valve (EV) will be activated (the tank will start filling) when the level drops to below SMIN and will be deactivated when it exceeds SMAX.

If you do not install level sensors, follow the next diagram.

SPA WITH SKIMMER
Connection Spa – Compact Kit

• Connect the skimmer outlet with the heat exchanger inlet.
• Connect the Spa floor drain with the filtration pump inlet in parallel to the rest of the inlets.
• Connect the filtration pump outlet to the filter’s selector valve (depending on the kit model, this connection may already be made).
• Connect the selector valve outlet to the water inlet of the heat exchanger (depending on the kit model, this connection may already be made).

If your Spa has the ozone option, follow the instructions indicated in the Ozonator installation sheet now.

For the selector valve connections, always use plastic accessories, gasket and Teflon tape. Under no circumstance should you use metal accessories or tubing, which could seriously damage the plastic components.

Connection Compact Kit– Spa
Connect the heat exchanger outlet with the Spa’s filter return nozzles, placing a check valve in this connection.

Water massage circuit connection
Connect the pipe to the water suction drains with the inlet to the massage pump (each pump will suction the water of 2 drains). Connect the outlet of each of the massage pumps to the connections in the Spa battery that will guide the water to the jets. Place a ball or guillotine valve in the inlet and outlet of each pump.

Air massage circuit connection
Leave the air pump inlet free and connect the pump outlet to the Spa’s corresponding connection.

Note: It is essential to install a 150mm siphon above the maximum water level and to place a check valve between the siphon and the Spa.

START UP

With the main circuit breaker on the OFF position, clean the Spa shell to avoid particles of the works being absorbed and obstructing the components or circuits. Open all the valves except the drainage.

• SPAS WITH OVERFLOW AND BALANCETANK
  Open the Spa’s filling valve and fill up the Spa until the water exceeds the SMAX level of the balance tank by 5 to 8 cm. Important: When you start up the filtering equipment for the first time, thewater level of the balance tank will decrease substantially. This is due to the fact that the piping between the balance tank and the Spa, filter and pump is practically full of air.

• SPAS WITH SKIMMER
  Wait for 15 minutes and inspect all the connections to ensure there are no leaks. Provide electrical power to the cabinet by switching on its main circuit breaker (ON position). Start up the filter pump, the massage pump and the air pump and check that there are no leaks in the pipes and connection elements after 30 minutes of operation.

Stop the filter pump and fill the water filter up to half, and then subsequently fill with sand (the type of sand to be used is specified in the Filter Manual annexed to the Compact Kit).

Place the selector valve of the filter with the lever in the wash position. Manually activate the filter pump; carry out a wash in the filter lasting approximately 2 minutes, stop the pump and set the lever to the rinse position. Start up the pump again and rinse for approximately 15 seconds. Stop the pump and change the lever to the filter position. Fill up the Spa once again.

Program the thermostat to the desired temperature. Read the Compact Kit manual. (Reaching the desired temperature after filling up the Spa may take several hours). Program the filter clock. (Read the Compact Kit Manual).

In the main electrical cabinet, activate the massage and heating switches. Set the filtering switch to the desired position, and the Spa will start to function carrying out the filtering and heating cycle. Once these checks have been made, fill in the attached Warranty form and send it to the manufacturer.

Jets can also regulate the intensity of the flow by opening and closing the water flow. To do so, proceed as follows:

Spas are built to the highest standards with the most durable materials available. The right maintenance and care will be key factors to ensure your Spa and its components have a long life.

ATTENTION
Remember to never leave the Spa uncovered, empty and exposed to the sun, as it could cause damages that the warranty does not cover.

Maintenance in periods of non-use or absence

SHORT PERIODS (3-5 days)

• Adjust the pH and treat the water (see Water Maintenance section).  Cover the spa.
• Before using the Spa again, readjust the pH and treat the water again.

PROLONGED PERIODS (5-14 days)

• Set the temperature at its lowest level.
• Adjust the pH and treat the water (see Water Maintenance section).
• Cover the Spa.
• Before using the Spa again, reset the temperature as required , readjust the pH and treat the water again.

PREPARTING FOR THE WINTER PERIOD
If it is not planned to use the Spa through the winter season or for prolonged periods of time, the following operations should be done:

• Disconnect the electrical equipment.
• Empty the water from the Spa.
• Leave the drain valve open.
• Clean and dry the Spa.
• Cover the Spa.

You should not leave water in the Spa without an electrical connection outdoors in temperatures below 0ºC, given that the pipes could freeze and damage the Spa. It is necessary to comply with Regulations in force in each country regarding Legionella. All responsibility for compliance with these falls on the owner of the Spa.

Water maintenance

Water maintenance is one of the areas where the user should provide greatest attention, given its importance. This maintenance will depend on the mineral content of the water used, of the Spa’s frequency of use, and of the number of people using the Spa.

There are three main points to take into account inwater maintenance:

• WATER FILTRATION
• CHEMICAL ANALYSIS AND PH CONTROL
• DISINFECTION OF THE WATER

SAFETY IN USE OF CHEMICAL PRODUCTS
Before using any chemical product, carefully read the instructions for use on its product label.

• It is advisable that always the same person handles the chemical products. Keep these products away from children.
• Add the exact amounts to the water, as specified.
• Keep containers tightly closed in dry, well-ventilated places.
• Do not inhale chemical products, and take care not to let them come into contact with the eyes,⋅ nose or mouth. Wash hands after use.
• Follow the emergency instructions on the product label in the event of an accident or ingestion.
• Do not smoke while handling these products – they may be flammable.
• Do not store these products inside the Spa unit.
• Do not mix products. Add first one and then the other to the water, to avoid possible reactions.
• Do not add chemical products to the water if there is someone in the Spa.

PH ADJUSTMENT
A pH index of between 7.2 and 7.6 is recommended. The pH level measures the acidity and alkalinity: Values above 7 are alkali and below 7, are acid.

**ATTENTION**
It is very important to maintain the correct pH level both for the disinfectant to work properly and to prevent corrosion or deposits on the Spa. Any damage caused by an inadequate pH level is not covered by your Spa guarantee.

If the level of pH is very low, the effects are as follows:

• The disinfectant will dissolve rapidly.
• The Spa kit may start to show corrosion.
• The water may start to produce irritation in bathers.

If the level of pH is very high, the effects are as follows:

• The disinfectant is less effective.
• The acrylic and the kit may start to showscaling.
• The water may turn cloudy.
• The filter cartridge pores may be obstructed.

Check the pH of the water with the pH analyser case on a daily basis. If the pH is above these indexes, use pH MINOR SPA.Wait for two hours  before doing the pH test. When the pH index has been adjusted to the values indicated above, proceed to the next step.

WATER DESINFECTION
Disinfecting the water is of utmost importance in order to destroy algae, bacteria and any other organisms that may grow in the water. However, excessive disinfection can cause irritations to the skin and eyes.

The appropriate disinfectant for your Spa water is BROMINE TABLETS. Place this product in the pre-filter for it to gradually dissolve.

Check the level of residual bromine using the Br analyser case on a daily basis.

Residual bromine levels of between 2.2 and 3.3 ppm are recommended.

Should you use Chlorine, in order for it to be effective, you must maintain a concentration of Free Residual Chlorine of between 0.5 and 1.5 ppm.

USE OF SPECIAL PRODUCTS
In addition to products for maintaining pH and disinfectant levels, there are others especially designed for use in Spas which will help you to maintain the water and the installations in perfect conditions.

• TIMESCALE REMOVER FOR SPAS: Avoids the formation of calcium salts (scaling), especially in hard water. This product is added weekly and every time the water is renewed.
• ALGAECIDE FOR SPAS: This algaecide prevents the growth of algae in the Spa water. The product is added weekly and every time the water is renewed.
• FOAM REMOVER FOR SPAS: Due to the agitation of the water and the grease present in it, foam often forms in Spas. When ever you notice a significant amount of foam in the water, you can eliminate it with this product.
• GREASE REMOVER FOR SPAS: For eliminating the rings of dirt and grease that form on the walls of the Spa. To use this product we advise emptying the water from the Spa, and applying the grease remover with a sponge on the areas to be cleaned. Then rinse immediately with abundant water.

OZONE GENERATOR
Ozone, O3, is an oxidizing chemical component which is very effective in disinfecting water. Its main advantage is that it leaves no chemical residue and is oxidizing .

Its disinfectant properties are based on its oxidizing potential, which leads to the elimination of any organic matter that there may be in the water.

In order to produce ozone, some Spas have an oxidizing which, with electricity, can produce ions of ozone from atmospheric oxygen. This process occurs automatically, and the product generated is injected via the filtration return nozzles. Thus, it is not necessary for the user to activate any mechanism for its generation.

The water is collected by the overflow, the drains or the skimmer, due to the suction of the filter pump.

Then it passes through the heat exchanger and in its outlet it is injected with ozone. The water is distributed via the filtration return system.

Ozone treatment does not exclude the use of other chemical products such as Bromine or Chlorine.

The ozone is considered as a complementary process to the ones above, thus reducing the consumption of Bromine or Chlorine.
