Site requirements
Your fitness system must be installed on a smooth and level surface that can
support the dead weight listed in the back of this manual.
If a new slab is poured, consult your local electrical codes regarding
grounding and bonding. Local code may require a bonding wire to be attached to
the reinforcing bar or wire mesh that is embedded in the concrete. If new
concrete is being poured, this is the ideal time to install the conduit for
the incoming electrical supply.
Even if a new pad has been poured, it is essential that the system site is
level and planar. There is a simple way to ensure that this is the case.
First, draw a chalk outline of the footprint of your fitness system. Place a
two meter level along and around the footprint of the system. Verify that
there are no gaps between the level and floor. Next pour water inside of the
chalk footprint. Verify that the water does not puddle inside the footprint.
Should there a be a gap or should the water puddle inside the footprint, call
your ENDLESS POOLS dealer prior to continuing to discuss the best way to
resolve this situation.
INDOOR CONSIDERATIONS
· Local electrical and plumbing codes.
· Ventilation fans and/or dehumidifiers should be provided to handle the
humidity developed by your fitness system. Walls, ceiling and wood trim should
be water resistant, also.
· Chemicals will vaporize from the water and may cause an odor and possibly
corrosion to certain home hardware. Never store chemicals inside the fitness
system cabinet.
· During the normal use of the fitness system, water will escape the vessel.
Never place on or over any materials, which may be damaged by this water or
the chemicals within the water. Keep damageable materials far enough away to
avoid water damage, even if the fitness system should lose all its water.
· Consider and prepare for the unlikely event of rapid drainage. If placement
of the fitness system is permanent, you may wish to provide floor drains to
accommodate draining, etc. Always leave room all around the fitness system for
easy access in case repairs are necessary.
· Consider and prepare for the unlikely event of removal.
· Do not set fitness system on finished floor without a waterproof barrier
protection underneath.
· The fitness system should be close to a source of water.
· Be sure that the location you choose is stable. It must be able to support
the weight of the fitness system when it is filled with water, plus the weight
of the occupants. The fitness system may weigh up to 11,457 kg (25,258 lbs)
when it is filled with water.
· Do not use the fitness system above a finished living area due to the risk
of water damage.
· The fitness system is not designed for in-floor installation. However, it is
compatible with a deck system that is built flush with the bar top, provided
you leave access for service.
· Be sure to note any other considerations, such as aesthetics or privacy
concerns, that may affect the safety or enjoyment of using the fitness system.
OUTDOOR CONSIDERATIONS
· Local electrical and plumbing codes.
· Consider local codes pertaining to fencing, enclosures, walls, electrical

distance from power lines, both above ground and underground. Your fitness
system will also need to be child proofed.
· View from house for aesthetics and supervisory needs.
· Distance from house for wintertime soaking.
· Nighttime lighting.
· Consider sunlight exposure, views, access, property lines, lighting, wind
direction, shielding, septic tanks, plants, and trees when determining your
location. Chemicals in the fitness system water may splash damaging nearby
plant life.
· If your fitness system is to be located on a second story, be positive
support is adequate. Call your builder and a structural engineer.
· Area for placement of support equipment where adequate space will be needed
to gain access to components for maintenance and general servicing.
· Be sure to note any other considerations, such as aesthetics or privacy
concerns, that may affect the safety or enjoyment of using the fitness system.
· Provide adequate drainage away from the equipment and adequate elevation to
allow draining by siphon, if should be required.
· Place the fitness system on a firm, level surface that will not shift.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
1. The fitness system should have access to a power source capable of
supplying 220-240 volts AC power for single phase models.
2. For 3 phase models the system has both 3 phase and single phase equipment.
3 phase (L-L) 380 – 415 VAC & single phase (L-N) 220240 VAC required
(380-415V, 3N~, 24A, 50Hz).
3. It must be wired directly into a grounded circuit with a RCD. No other
appliances should be on the same circuit.
4. Location of electrical supply 220-240 / 380-415 volt systems require hard
wire installed from the main electrical source, to the sub panel, then to the
fitness system terminal block. All equipment must be ground fault circuit
protected (NOT SUPPLIED). All electrical wiring must comply with the national
electric code.
5. Locations at least 1.5 m (5 feet) from all metal surfaces. A fitness
system may be installed within 1.5 m (5 feet) of metals surfaces providing

Site Requirements
DECK INSTALLATION
To be certain your deck can support your system you must know the deck’s
maximum load capacity. Consult a qualified building contractor or structural
engineer before you place the system on an elevated deck. To find the weight
of your system, its contents and occupants, refer to the System Specification
chart. This weight per square meter must not exceed the structure’s rated
capacity, or serious structural damage could result.
DELIVERY ACCESS
It may be necessary to remove a gate, part of a fence, or other movable
obstructions in order to move the system to its installation site. Your system
will determine what equipment is necessary to move your system to its final
location. A roll back truck with a tilt bed is a good option if your site can
be accessed by an across road vehicle. When a small reach is needed for the
final placement of your system, a boom truck is ideal. A telehandler vehicle
can off load, traverse property and place your system in a more challenging
situation or terrain. When access to your site is limited a crane may be used
to lift your system over obstructions for precise placement.
The ENDLESS POOLS Exercise System delivery personnel will supervise the crane
delivery and complete the system installation. NOTE: If your system delivery
requires the use of a crane, you may be required to pay for its services at
the completion of the delivery.

IMPORTANT: Fill the fitness system with water before turning on the power.
Your ENDLESS POOLS fitness system has been carefully designed to give you
maximum safety against electrical shock. Connecting the fitness system to an
improperly wired circuit will negate many of the fitness system’s safety
features. Improper wiring may also cause electrocution, risk of fire, and
other risks of injuries. Please read and follow the electrical installation
requirements and instructions completely!
SINGLE PHASE (MODEL) WIRING
220-240 VOLT CONNECTED (STANDARD)
ENDLESS POOLS fitness systems must be wired in accordance with all applicable
local electrical codes. All electrical work should be done by an experienced,
licensed electrician. We recommend the use of appropriate electrical conduit,
fittings, and wire for all circuits.
The diagram below illustrates how to wire the fitness system model:
· The fitness system requires an electrical service using two RCD breakers. A
system with a treadmill requires one breaker rated for a 25 amp load and one
rated for a 24 amp load, two 24 amp loads are required with a system that
doesn’t have a treadmill.
· Disconnect switches with at least 3 mm separation between contacts must be
used for all electrical circuits to the fitness system.
· Mount the subpanel in the vicinity of the fitness system, but not closer
than 1.5 m (5 feet) away. Your fitness system, must be supplied by a ground
fault circuit interrupter – residual current device (RCD) – with a tripping
rating not exceeding 30 mA in an electrical subpanel.
· Open the fitness system by removing the 4 screws holding the vertical
T-spacer located in the center of the equipment compartment (back side of
fitness system). Slide panel towards center, raise panel, pull bottom out,
lower, disconnect light wires on both side and remove, repeat for other panel.
· Insert power wires into fitness system from either side towards the bottom,
you will find a plastic cap attached to wall.
· Once your fitness system has been filled with water, turn it on and test all
of the circuit breakers.
IMPORTANT: If breaker immediately trips, verify that the wires are correctly
connected. Breaker should be tested prior to each use. Here’s how:
1. Push the “TEST” button on each breaker – residual current device (RCD),
and observe it click OFF.
2. Wait 30 seconds, then push the breaker switch to the OFF (down) position
(to ensure that it has completely disengaged), then push the breaker switch to
the ON (up) position. If you don’t wait 30 seconds, the fitness system’s power
indicator may continue to blink try again.
If any of the RCD breakers fails to operate in this manner, your fitness
system may have an electrical malfunction, and you may be at risk of
electrical shock. Turn off all circuits and do not use the fitness system
until the problem has been corrected by an authorized service agent.
WARNING: Removing, or bypassing any RCD breaker will result in an unsafe
fitness system and will void the warranty.
IMPORTANT: If you ever need to move or relocate your ENDLESS POOLS fitness
system, it is essential that you understand and apply these installation
requirements. Your ENDLESS POOLS fitness system has been carefully engineered
to provide maximum safety against electric shock. Remember, connecting the
fitness system to an improperly wired circuit will negate many of its safety
features.
NOTE: Long wiring runs may require larger-gauge wire than stated.

HYDROMASSAGE JETS
LARGE HYDROMASSAGE Jets – This jet provides a unique, pulsating massage. The
water flow is adjustable in that it can be turned from low to high (by
rotating the jet faceplate ¼ turn).
MIDSIZE DIRECTIONAL JET – These jets allow you to redirect the jet stream by
changing the position of the nozzle. The water flow is adjustable in that it
can be turned from low to high (by rotating the jet faceplate ¼ turn).
MIDSIZE ROTATIONAL JET – These jets provide a rotating massage pattern. The
water flow is adjustable in that it can be turned from low to high (by
rotating the jet faceplate ¼ turn).
Mini JET – These jets deliver a direct, more focused massage. The water flow
is adjustable in that it can be turned from low to high (by rotating the jet
faceplate ¼ turn).
WATERFALL VALVE (E500 & E700)
Your fitness system is equipped with a waterfall feature. It is activated by
turning on the hydromassage jets (either low or high speed). The flow is
regulated by turning the waterfall valve on the inside wall of the fitness
system.
AIR CONTROLS
Your fitness system is equipped with two air valves. The air valves will add
or remove air to the hydromassage jet system. Rotate valve to see which
hydromassage jets are affected.
SWIM MACHINE-HYDRAULIC
SWIM MACHINE OPERATION – Two teal remote controls have been provided with your
system and have been packaged in the owner’s packet inside the equipment
compartment.
The swim machine is turned on through the use of the remote control, which
also adjusts the speed of the current faster or slower. When changing speed,
you must press and hold the buttons on the remote, then wait a few seconds for
the current to adjust. Upon initial start-up you will find that the unit has
been set to its lowest speed; which is a barely perceptible current. You will
need to press and HOLD the FASTER button to increase the speed. The standard
top speed is roughly equivalent to a 1:14 / 100 meters (1:08 / 100 yard) pace
a speed for expert swimmers only. Set the water speed at a comfortable level
for your needs. Remotes are water resistant but can not be submerged.
To stop swimming, simply press the on/off button on the remote. If left
running, the power unit will turn off automatically after thirty minutes and
can be restarted by pressing the on / off button again. Once you have found an
optimal speed for yourself, you may leave the system at that setting. The
controller for the swim machine is designed with a “ramp-up” feature which
forces the swim machine to start slowly, but will increase to the last setting
at which someone swam.
When you are first learning to swim in the swim current, it is often useful to
allow yourself to drift back to the rear of the fitness system. Let your feet
rest on the rear seat and then swim forward into position. By starting from
the back, you can get a feel for just how much room you have. When swimming,
center your outstretched arm about 30 cm from the front grill.
TREADMILL-HYDRAULIC (OPTIONAL)
TREADMILL OPERATION – Two grey remote controls have been provided with your
system and have been packaged in the
owner’s packet inside the equipment compartment. These remotes are identical
to the swim machine remotes but a different color.
Upon initial start-up you will find that unit has been set to its lowest
speed. You will need to press and HOLD the FASTER button to increase the
speed.
The treadmill is turned on through the use of a remote control, which also
adjusts the speed of the treadmill faster or slower. When changing speed, you
must press and hold the buttons on the remote, then wait a few seconds for the
treadmill to adjust. Set the speed at a comfortable level for your needs.
Remotes are water resistant but can not be submerged.
NOTE: Depending on duration, temperature, and speed, users may experience
slight pulsing when the treadmill is operated on the slowest speed settings.
This action is caused by the natural rotation of the hydraulic motor and will
lessen as the treadmill speed is increased.
To turn off the treadmill, simply press the on/off button on the remote. If
left running, the power unit will turn off automatically after thirty minutes
and can be restarted by pressing the on / off button again. The treadmill will
always default to the slowest speed when turned on.
Page 14
Getting Started
When you are first learning to use the treadmill in conjunction with the swim
machine, it is best to start at the lowest speeds for both the swim machine
and treadmill. The added resistance the swim machine offers may allow for a
slower treadmill speed than initially thought. IMPORTANT: Do not use treadmill
when circulation pump is OFF.
PACE DISPLAY (OPTIONAL)
SWIM PACE DISPLAY – For any ENDLESS POOLS’ product that generates a swim
current the default setting for the display is 100 meters (100 yard) pace
(shown as minutes:seconds). This indicates the water flow equivalent of
swimming 100 meters (100 yards) in a traditional lap pool in the indicated
amount of time. Swim current
units can also be for a 100 meter pace. As the current speed is increased, the
value the display reads goes down, since the faster you swim the less time it
takes to swim 100 meters (100 yards). Any Pace Display can be set for a
percentage of 2-100.
TREADMILL PACE DISPLAY – For the optional hydraulic treadmill the default
setting for the display is miles per hour. The pace can be also be converted
to display kilometers per hour. Unlike a swim current display, as the speed of
the treadmill is increased, the value on the display will also increase. Any
Pace Display can be set for a percentage of 2-100.
QUICK START-UP INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE YOU FILL YOUR FITNESS SYSTEM
Make sure your fitness system has been properly installed per all local codes,
including the location of the fitness system, the foundation of the fitness
system, as well as the electrical installation of the fitness system.
DO:
· Know which water treatment system you will be using and make sure you have
necessary chemicals available. Read all of the instructions that come with the
system.
· Have 5-way Test Strips Available.
· Have pH/Alkalinity Up & Down available.
· Know the hardness of your water, contact your dealer to help you with this
information. See Water Quality and Maintenance for more information.
· Purchase the Clean ScreenTM pre-filter to remove unwanted contaminants from
the tap water. This is recommended, not required.
START-UP
Your ENDLESS POOLS fitness system has been thoroughly tested during the
manufacturing process to ensure reliability and long-term customer
satisfaction. A small amount of water may have remained in the plumbing after
testing and, as a result, may have spotted the fitness system shell or the
fitness system siding prior to delivery. Before filling the fitness system,
wipe the fitness system shell clean with a soft rag. The following
instructions must be read and followed exactly to ensure a successful start-up
or refill.
CAUTIONS
· DO NOT CONNECT POWER TO AN EMPTY Fitness System. Power to the fitness system
automatically activates critical components within the fitness system, such as
controls, heater, and other systems. If power is supplied to these components
prior to the fitness system being filled, the components will be damaged, and
this may result in a non-warranty component failure.
· DO NOT use your fitness system after filling until all of the steps listed
below are completed.
· DO NOT add chlorine if treating your fitness system with polyhexamethylene
biguanide (Biguanide, PHMB, eg. BaquaSpa®) sanitizer.
· DO NOT use a salt-generated chlorine system, this will damage components and
is not covered under your warranty.
· Before filling your fitness system for the first time, remove the equipment
compartment door and check to ensure that the unions on either side of the
pump(s) and heater are hand-tight and the slide valves are open.
1. CLOSE DRAIN, remove the filter compartment grill skimmer tray and one
filter (pg. 26). Fill your fitness system through the filter compartment using
the CleanScreenTM pre-filter (optional from dealer) that attaches to your
garden hose. The water level of your fitness system should be maintained at a
level 15 cm (6″) below the top of the fitness system. Reinstall the filter,
skimmer tray, and grill once the fitness system is filled. IMPORTANT: Watkins
Wellness does not recommend that the fitness system be filled with “softened”
water, as this may damage the fitness system’s equipment.
2. AFTER THE FITNESS SYSTEM HAS BEEN FILLED with water and the equipment
compartment door is secured, power must be applied to the fitness system.
· FIRST activate power to the subpanel from the main house panel.
· NEXT open the door of the electrical subpanel and reset the RCD breakers.
· FINALLY, close and secure the subpanel door.
Getting Started
Page 15
3. TO CHECK THE OPERATION OF THE HYDROMASSAGE JET SYSTEM and to purge any
remaining air from the system complete the following steps:
· Press the jets button placing all hydromassage jets on High.
· Once the jet system is fully operational (as indicated by strong, non-
surging jets), priming of the fitness system is complete.
· To turn off the jets, press the jets button on the main control panel.
· If you do not feel a steady stream of water from your jets, refer to the
instructions for priming the pump in the fitness system TROUBLESHOOTING
section.
4. SET THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL to the desired temperature between 15°C (59°F)
and 40°C (104°F), then place the fitness system cover on the fitness system
and allow the water temperature to stabilize approximately 0.5°C (1°F) per
hour. Make sure you secure the cover in place. Periodically check the fitness
system water temperature. When the water temperature reaches desired
temperature, proceed to the next step. The fitness system temperature is pre-
programmed to reach 29.5°C (85°F). You may change the water temperature by
pressing the button on the control panel to raise the temperature, or lower
temperature by pressing the button.
5. USING A TEST STRIP AND APPLICABLE CHEMICALS adjust Total Alkalinity (TA)
to 80-120 ppm, Calcium Hardness (CH) to 50-150 ppm, then fitness system water
pH to between 7.2 and 7.8. These procedures are listed in the “Water Quality
and Maintenance” section.
OPERATION NOTE: Adjusting the Total Alkalinity as the first step is important,
as out-of balance TA will affect your ability to adjust the pH correctly and
will prevent the sanitizer from operating effectively.
IMPORTANT: Activate the swim machine by using the blue swim machine remote and
increase speed to at least 50% before adding chemicals. Disperse the chemicals
in the swim area away from the walls.
6. SUPERCHLORINATE THE FITNESS SYSTEM WATER by adding 1½ teaspoons of
chlorine (sodium dichlor) per 950 liters (250 gallons) of water while running
the swim machine above 50% for 10 minutes. Disperse the chemicals in the swim
area away from the walls.
7. TEST THE FITNESS SYSTEM WATER FOR CHLORINE RESIDUAL. If the residual is
between 1 and 5 ppm on the test strips, go on to the next step. If the
residual is less than 1 ppm, activate the swim machine above 50% for another
10 minutes and add more chlorine as needed, then retest.
WARNING: High sanitizer levels can cause discomfort to the user’s eyes, lungs
and skin. Always allow the sanitizer level to fall to the recommended range
before using the fitness system.
8. RECHECK the Total Alkalinity (TA) 80-120 ppm, Calcium Hardness (CH) 75-150
ppm, and the pH must be between 7.2 and 7.8.
The fitness system is ready for use when the fitness system water has
circulated and the bromine level remains between 1 and 2 ppm or chlorine level
remains between 1 and 5 ppm.

pump will purge for 1 minute at any of the purge time setting start times.
We recommend setting your date and time first, then going to the Water Care /
Heater Settings section and making any desired changes for days, start times
and length of time in the desired Water Care Mode.
NOTE: Power interruption of the fitness system will not change the filter
cycle settings when power is regained.
PURGE CYCLE SUSPENSION:
The purge cycle will be suspended every time a jet pump or light is activated
manually during the purge cycle time. The suspension will end 10 minutes after
the completion of the manual use.

any jets that are on OFF. It will not turn the music system off.
If you press this button again before pressing the light or jets button it
will bring up the last settings before shutting off.
NOTE: The color of the lights will however advance to the next sequence.
WI-FI IN.TOUCH 2 (OPTIONAL)
If your fitness system is equipped with the Wi-Fi in.touch 2 module you will
be able to use the internet or your home Wi-Fi network to control your fitness
system by downloading an App to your favorite devices.
See Wi-Fi in the Settings section to connect your fitness system to your home
Wi-Fi network.
For instruction on how to download the App to your device search “gecko
in.touch 2” in your App store. For more instructions go online to the in.touch

NOTE: The color of the lights will however advance to the next sequence.
SMART WINTER MODE
The Smart Winter Mode (SWM) is used to prevent water from freezing in the
plumbing lines. As soon as there is a risk of freezing, this protection
automatically kicks in. The SWM protection will turn back off only after 24
hours without a risk of freezing. During the SWM period, the Smart Winter Mode
icon remains on; the icon blinks when the purge is active. The purge period
indicates the amount of time between the purging of the plumbing lines based
on the temperature behind the panels.

Water Quality and Maintenance
BASIC INFORMATION
It’s important to have clean water. Water maintenance is one of the least
understood, yet most important areas of fitness system ownership. Your dealer
can guide you through the process of achieving and maintaining balanced water
in your fitness system, given your local conditions.
IMPORTANT: Water Terminology can be found at the end of this section.
· Always read & refer to the owner’s manual for complete information.
· Test your water with a test strip once a week, or each time the fitness
system is used.
· Add chemicals in frequent, small amounts to prevent overdosing the fitness
system.
· Use the fitness system only when the chlorine level is between 1-5 ppm or
manually add chlorine as needed.
· It is the fitness system owner’s responsibility to prevent over or under
chlorination.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended at a minimum to change 50% of your water every
year; however, it is dependent on the amount of usage. Check with your ENDLESS
POOLS dealer to determine if water in your region has unique qualities – such
as high metal or mineral content – that should be addressed.

Maintaining the water quality and the cleanliness of the filters in your
fitness system is your responsibility. Keeping the fitness system water
balanced prolongs the life of the components and will make the water more
comfortable. Your program will depend on your water’s mineral content, how
often you use your fitness system, and how many people use it. Watkins
Wellness has developed several water care systems and products to simplify
water care which are available from authorized ENDLESS POOLS dealers.
CHEMICAL SAFETY
When using chemicals, read the labels carefully and follow directions
precisely. Though chemicals protect you and your fitness system when used
correctly, they can be hazardous in concentrated form. Always observe the
following guidelines:
· Allow only a responsible person to handle fitness system chemicals. Keep
them out of the reach of children.
· Accurately measure the exact quantities specified, never more. Do not
overdose your fitness system.
· Handle all containers with care. Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated
place.
· Always keep chemical containers closed when not in use. Replace caps on
their proper containers.
· Don’t inhale fumes, or allow chemicals to come in contact with your eyes,
nose, or mouth. Wash your hands immediately after use.
· Follow the emergency advice on the product label in case of accidental
contact, or if the chemical is swallowed. Call a doctor or the local Poison
Control Center. If a doctor is needed, take the product container along with
you so that the substance can be identified.
· Don’t let chemicals get on surrounding surfaces or landscaping. Don’t use a
vacuum cleaner to clean up chemical spills.
· Never smoke around chemicals. Some fumes can be highly flammable.
· Don’t store any chemicals in the fitness system equipment compartment.
HOW TO ADD CHEMICALS TO THE WATER
IMPORTANT: All fitness system water chemicals, must always be dispersed into
the swim area while the swim machine is running higher than 50%, and must run
for a minimum of ten minutes.
TO ADMINISTER FITNESS SYSTEM WATER CHEMICALS:
1. Fold back the cover.
2. Turn swim machine ON, run for 10 minutes and turn OFF.
3. Carefully measure the recommended amount of chemical and disperse into
swim area while swim machine is on. Use care not to splash chemicals on your
hands, in your eyes, on the fitness system sheet surface, or on the siding.
Risk of Drowning: Never leave an open fitness system unattended!
WARNING: High sanitizer levels can cause discomfort to the user’s eyes, lungs
and skin. Always allow the sanitizer level to fall to the recommended range
before using the fitness system.
IMPORTANT “SUPER CHLORINATION/NON-CHLORINE SHOCK TREATMENT” NOTE: After
administering a super chlorination treatment or non-chlorine shock to your
fitness system, leave the cover open for a minimum of 20 minutes to allow the
oxidizer gas to vent. A high concentration of trapped oxidizer gas which may
exist as a result of the shock treatment (not daily sanitation) may eventually
cause discoloration or vinyl degradation to the bottom of the cover.
FUNDAMENTALS OF WATER MAINTENANCE
· Testing: Test the water weekly or each time the fitness system is used with convenient test strips or more accurate liquid / tablet reagent test kit per instructions. Critical parameters: sanitizer level, pH, Calcium Hardness (CH), and Total Alkalinity (TA). Store test equipment in a dark, cool, dry place to maintain potency.

in balance prevents damage by holding the pH in a safe range and preventing
calcium scale formation on fitness system equipment. A low pH can damage metal
components whereas a high pH can cause high levels of calcium to form scale.
Your dealer should provide a detailed water chemistry orientation soon after
your new fitness system is filled for the very first time.
· The following three water components must be kept in balance to avoid damage
to the fitness system. Do balance these components in the order they are
listed here as each will help you balance the next using a minimum amount of
chemicals.
1. Calcium Hardness (CH) CH is the measure of the amount of dissolved
calcium in the water. Low levels can make the water corrosive and high levels
cause scale formation on fitness system components. The recommended CH reading
is between 75 – 150 ppm. If the CH level is too high, lower it with the
calcium remover per instructions. Once in balance, the CH reading normally
remains stable until more water is added. Great care must be taken when
filling the fitness system from a water softener to ensure that the calcium
remains in balance and avoid damage to the fitness system.
2. Total Alkalinity (TA) – TA is a measure of the water’s ability to resist
changes of pH or buffer capacity. A low TA allows the pH to fluctuate easily.
The recommended TA reading is between 80 – 120 ppm. To raise the TA, use
pH/Alkalinity Up (sodium hydrogen carbonate). To lower the TA, use
pH/Alkalinity Down (sodium bisulfate). We recommend you check the TA reading
once per month. Raising/lowering the TA may cause the pH readings to fluctuate
widely. Ignore the pH readings on the test strip while you are balancing the
TA.
3. pH – The pH is the measure of the acidity and alkalinity. Maintaining the
proper pH level will optimize the effectiveness of the sanitizer, preventing
damage to the fitness system and physical discomfort for fitness system users.
A low pH dissipates sanitizer, causes corrosion, and irritates fitness system
users. A high pH level will neutralize sanitizer, promote scaling and cloud
water. The recommended pH reading is between 7.2 – 7.8. To lower the pH level,
use pH/Alkalinity Down (sodium bisulfate). To raise the pH level, use
pH/Alkalinity Up (sodium carbonate).
· Water Conditioners: Fitness system fill water varies from location to
location and user to user, therefore it is important to consult with your
dealer for an appropriate program.
a. The CLEAN SCREEN pre-flter should be used at every fill and top-off to
remove contaminants from the fill water, especially iron, copper, and
manganese. Many water sources, including well water, contain high
concentrations of minerals that can cause staining of the shell and plastics.
b. Stain and Scale control For water high in calcium and minerals, it may be
necessary to use an anti-scalant like Stain and Scale control. As water
evaporates from your fitness system and new water is added, the amount of
dissolved minerals like calcium, copper, iron, and manganese will increase.
(Minimize evaporation by keeping the cover on the fitness system whenever
possible.) High iron or copper content in the water may produce green or brown
stains on the fitness system.
c. Foam Inhibitors – Soap is introduced into the fitness system water from
users’ bodies and swimming apparel and can cause the fitness system water to
foam when the jets are used. Low levels of calcium hardness (soft water) can
increase foaming. Although ozone can oxidize soap residual, it may become
necessary to add Foam Inhibitors to suppress the foam. Excessive soap in the
water may require a water change to resolve.
· Oxidizers: Ozone and Monopersulfate (MPS) are oxidizers used to prevent the
buildup of contaminants, maximize sanitizer efficiency, minimize combined
chlorine, and improve water clarity. They are to be used in conjunction with
EPA registered sanitizers. The UV-C Ozone system combines the Corona Discharge
generator and a UV-C lamp. The UV-C lamp kills and damages bacteria DNA on
contact providing a maximum water sanitation solution. Chlorine-Free Oxidizer,
Monopersulfate (MPS) is a granular oxidizing chemical.
· Sanitizers: Maintaining the recommended residual level of an EPA registered
sanitizer at all times will decrease the occurrence of unsafe bacteria and
viruses in your fitness system water. The recommended Free Available Chlorine
(FAC), the amount of available chlorine sanitizer, is 1 – 5 ppm. A low FAC can
allow bacteria and viruses to grow rapidly in the warm water, and a high FAC
can cause discomfort to the user’s eyes, lungs, and skin. Each sanitizer
carries its own instructions regarding how much to use and when to add it to
the fitness system water. Consult your dealer for their recommendations and
instructions on proper sanitizing of the fitness system.
Watkins Wellness recommends the following sanitizer:
· Sodium Dichloro-s-Triazinetrione (sodium dichlor or chlorine)
· Biguanide
· Liquid sodium hypochlorite
WARNING: DO NOT use tri-chlor chlorine, bromo-chloro-dimethylhydantoin
(BCDMH), or any type of compressed bromine or chlorine, acid or any type of
sanitizer which is not recommended by Watkins Wellness.
THE ENDLESS POOLS WATER MAINTENANCE PROGRAM
FILLING THE FITNESS SYSTEM WITH WATER
Use the CLEAN SCREEN pre-filter to remove unwanted contaminants such as rust,
dirt, detergents, and algae from the fill water. Dissolved metals, copper,
iron, and manganese are also removed. Instructions are included with the CLEAN
SCREEN pre-filter. Always fill the fitness system through the filter
compartment. Do not fill your fitness system using water from a swimming pool
as pool chemicals are very different from those used in a fitness system and
can damage your fitness system.
ADDING CHEMICALS TO THE WATER
All fitness system water chemicals must always be dispersed directly into the
swim area while swim machine is running over 50% and it must run for a minimum
of ten minutes with the covers off.
BUILDING A SANITIZER ROUTINE
During the first month of ownership, measure the sanitizer residual daily, in
order to establish a baseline of sanitizer needed vs. fitness system usage.
Sanitizer needed is the amount of Free Available Chlorine needed to
accommodate the number of users and their combined usage time. For example,
two fitness system users for twenty minutes every day creates regular demand
on the sanitizer that is used to determine how much sanitizer to add in order
to maintain the proper residual. If the usage pattern increases dramatically
with invited guests, the amount and frequency of sanitizer required will also
increase.
Page 22
Water Quality and Maintenance
PERFORMING SUPER CHLORINATION/ NON-CHLORINE SHOCK TREATMENT
A weekly or monthly super chlorination (1.5 tsp dichlor/950 liters) or shock
(4tbs mps/950 liters) may be required of your chosen sanitation program.
Increasing chlorine to 5 ppm for 24-48 hours removes excess waste and
chloramines from the water. Sodium dichlor is 6x stronger than MPS and may be
more appropriate for those users that experience heavy bather load conditions.
Operate swim machine and leave the cover open for a minimum of 20 minutes to
allow the oxidizer gas to vent to prevent damage and discoloration to the
cover and pillows after administering a super chlorination or shock to your
fitness system. This type of damage is considered chemical abuse and is not
covered under the terms of the limited warranty.
IMPORTANT: Always allow the Free Available Chlorine to fall below 5 ppm before
using your fitness system.
DANGER: Never leave an open fitness system unattended, especially if there are
children present!
USING SILVER ION
Silver ions are introduced into the water via erosion of silver infused beads
which inhibits bacteria growth. When combined with MPS, or chlorine, waste is
oxidized and removed from the water. It is important to follow the recommended
application and maintenance programs outlined for the product’s use. If the
fitness system is being used over an extended period of time, such as a whole
afternoon or evening, additional sanitizer will be needed. Required:
a. One Silver Ion cartridge per 1,893 liters (500 gallons).
b. Silver Ion cartridges to be placed inside filter skimmer tray (maximum of 2
per tray).
c. Weekly Super Chlorinate/Shock the fitness system to reactivate the silver
ion cartridge, allow the release of silver ions, and quickly destroy any
remaining contaminants. Without this weekly shock treatment, the silver ion
cartridge may stop releasing silver ions into the water.
IMPORTANT: Use only Dichlor sanitizer. Silver is not compatible with bromine
and biguanides. Don’t use a water clarifier. Clarifiers will cause the fitness
system water to become cloudy.
MANUAL CHLORINE (SODIUM DICHLOR)
Watkins Wellness recommends the use of Concentrated Chlorinating Granules
(sodium dichlor) for sanitizing the water. Sodium dichlor is preferred because
it is totally soluble, dissolves quickly, and is nearly pH neutral. The
recommended Free Available Chlorine (FAC), the amount of available chlorine
sanitize the fitness system, 1 – 5 ppm.
If the FAC is too low: Increase the FAC by adding granulated sodium dichlor.
If the FAC is too high: Allow time to pass and the FAC level will naturally
drop over time.
If the fitness system smells of chlorine: super chlorinate or shock the
fitness system FAC chlorine does not have an odor whereas combined spent
chlorine (chloramines) has a strong chlorine odor that can be eliminated by
shocking the water.
IMPORTANT: There are several forms of stabilized chlorine available for use in
fitness systems and swimming pools. It is extremely important to choose one
specifically designed for fitness systems. Use of an incorrect product such as
tri-chlor which has a very low pH (2.6) and dissolves too quickly in hot
water, results in extremely high levels of chlorine that WILL cause damage to
your fitness system. Use of a
liquid or compressed bromine/chlorine or unapproved sanitizer WILL damage your
fitness system and is specifically not covered under the terms of the limited
warranty.
OZONE PLUS UV-C MAINTENANCE
If the water in your fitness system lacks the clarity you’re used to, you find
your chemicals increasingly out of balance and your water simply will not be
sanitized like it should be then you should ask your technician to test your
Ozone Generator and check you UV-C lamp which may need to be replaced.
DANGER: Corrosive condensation may collect in dips or loops in the tubing. DO
NOT DRAIN IT. Have an Ozone Technician remove the acidic liquid.
Water chemistry damage is not covered by the warranty. The chemical levels and
water quality in the fitness system are under your direct control. With proper
basic care, the fitness system will provide many years of water relaxation. If
you are unsure about any chemical or its usage in the fitness system, contact
your Authorized Dealer, or Watkins Wellness.
DO:
· Disperse all chemicals slowly into the swim area with the swim machine
operating over 50% for ten minutes.
· Use special care if using baking soda to clean either the interior or
exterior plastic surfaces.
IMPORTANT: Watkins Wellness DOES NOT recommend the use of any floating
chemical dispenser. Damage to the fitness system shell or components caused by
a floating chemical dispenser is specifically not covered under the terms of
the limited warranty. Floating dispensers can become trapped in one area and
cause an over-sanitization or release large chunks of sanitizer that very
quickly chemically burn the shell and cover.
DON’T:
· Use compressed sanitizers.
· Use a floater type sanitization system as a low or no maintenance solution
to your fitness system maintenance program.
· Use a sanitizer which is not designed for fitness systems.
· Broadcast or sprinkle the chemicals onto the water surface without the swim
machine running during chemical additions and any additional 10 minutes after
dose. This method may cause chemically-induced fitness system surface
blistering (chemical abuse).
VACATION WATER CARE INSTRUCTIONS
If you plan to be away from home, follow these instructions to ensure that the
water quality of your fitness system is maintained:
SHORT TIME PERIODS (3-5 DAYS)
1. Adjust the pH by following the instructions outlined in the Water Quality
and Maintenance section.
2. Sanitize the water by following the shock procedures also listed in the
Water Quality and Maintenance section.
3. Lock your cover in place using the coverlocks.
4. Set Water Care Mode to Away from Home (pg.17).
5. Upon your return, sanitize the water by following the shock procedures,
and balance the pH.
Water Quality and Maintenance
Page 23
LONG TIME PERIODS (5-14 DAYS)
Prior to leaving:
1. At least one day before you leave, set Water Care Mode to Away.
IMPORTANT: Fitness system water oxidizers such as sodium dichlor (chlorine)
maintain their level of effectiveness substantially longer in cool water 15°C
(59°F) than in hot water 38°C – 40°C (101°F to 104°F).
2. Adjust the pH as required. Sanitize the water by following the shock
procedures.
Upon your return:
3. Sanitize the water by following the shock procedures. Return the set
temperature to its original setting. The fitness system water will be safe for
you to use once the Free Available Chlorine residual level has dropped below
5.0 ppm.
IMPORTANT: If you will not be using your fitness system for an extended period
of time (in excess of 14 days) and an outside maintenance service (or
neighbor) is not available to assist with the water maintenance, draining or
winterizing of the fitness system is recommended.
SUPPLEMENTAL WATER MAINTENANCE
Proper water sanitation and mineral balance (pH control) are absolutely
essential for a complete fitness system water maintenance program. Here are
two other popular water additives that are optional:
Mineral Deposit Inhibitors
As water evaporates from your fitness system and new water is added, the
amount of dissolved minerals will increase. (Minimize evaporation by keeping
the cover on the fitness system whenever possible.) The fitness system water
may eventually become “hard” (Calcium Hardness too high) enough to damage the
heater by calcifying its surface. Proper pH control can minimize this.
Occasionally, high iron or copper content in the water may produce green or
brown stains on the fitness system. A stain and scale inhibitor may help to
reduce these metals.
IMPORTANT: Well water may contain high concentrations of minerals. The use of
a low water volume, extra-fine pore water filter (in-line prefilter such as
the CLEAN SCREEN pre-filter) will help to remove many of the larger particles
during the filling of the fitness system. In-line prefilters can be purchased
at your local ENDLESS POOLS dealer.
Foam Inhibitors
Fitness system water requires changing due to the buildup of soap in the
water. Typically, soap will cause the fitness system water to foam when the
jets are used. Soap is introduced into the fitness system water from two
sources: users’ bodies, which retain a soap residual after showering, and
swimming apparel, which retains soap after washing.
Foam inhibitors can suppress foam, but cannot remove soap from the water. Soap
is very difficult to remove from the water because soap is not oxidized by any
chemical added to the fitness system. Only ozone can oxidize soap. Eventually
the soap build-up in the water will be concentrated, resulting in an unclean
feeling on the bather’s skin, which is impossible to remedy. When this occurs,
it’s time to drain and refill the fitness system.
GLOSSARY
The following chemical terms are used in this Water Quality and Maintenance
section. Understanding their meaning will help you to better understand the
water maintenance process.
Bromamines: Compounds formed when bromine combines with nitrogen from body
oils, urine, perspiration, etc. Unlike chloramines,
bromamines have no pungent odor, and are effective sanitizers.
Bromine: A halogen sanitizer (in the same chemical family as chlorine).
Bromine is commonly used in stick, tablet, or granular form however, stick and
tablet form should NOT be used.
Calcium Hardness: The amount of dissolved calcium in the fitness system water.
This should be approximately 75 – 150 ppm. High levels of calcium can cause
cloudy water and scaling. Low levels can cause harm to the fitness system
equipment.
Chloramines: Compounds formed when chlorine combines with nitrogen from body
oils, urine, perspiration, etc. Chloramines can cause eye irritation as well
as having a strong odor. Unlike bromamines, chloramines are weaker, slower
sanitizers.
Chlorine: An efficient sanitizing chemical for fitness systems. Watkins
Wellness recommends the use of sodium dichlor-type granulated chlorine. This
type is preferred because it is totally soluble and nearly pH neutral.
Chlorine (or Bromine) Residual: The amount of chlorine or bromine remaining
after chlorine or bromine demand has been satisfied. The residual is,
therefore, the amount of sanitizer which is chemically available to kill
bacteria, viruses and algae.
Corrosion: The gradual wearing away of metal and plastic fitness system parts,
usually caused by chemical action. Generally, corrosion is caused by low pH or
by water with levels of TA, CH, pH or sanitizer which are outside the
recommended ranges.
Halogen: Any one of these five elements: fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine,
and astatine.
MPS: Monopersulfate is a non-chlorine oxidizer.
Nitric Acid: The formulation of nitric acid, a highly corrosive chemical, is a
byproduct of the ozone generating process. Nitric acid is produced in very
small quantities and is readily dissolved in the water stream with ozone.
Oxidizer: The use of an oxidizing chemical is to prevent the buildup of
contaminants, maximize sanitizer efficiency, minimize combined chlorine and
improve water clarity. See MPS and Ozone.
Ozone: Ozone is a powerful oxidizing agent which is produced in nature and
artificially by man. Ozone forms no byproducts, oxidizes chloramines, and will
not alter the water’s pH.
pH: The measure of the fitness system water’s acidity and alkalinity.
ppm: The abbreviation of “parts per million”, the standard measurement of
chemical concentration in water. Identical to mg/l (milligrams per liter).
Reagent: A chemical material in liquid, powder, or tablet form for use in
chemical testing.
Sanitizer: Sanitizers are added and maintained at recommended residuals to
protect bathers against pathogenic organisms which can cause disease and
infection in fitness system water.
Scale: Rough calcium-bearing deposits that can coat fitness system surfaces,
heaters, plumbing lines, and clog filters. Generally, scaling is caused by
mineral content combined with high pH. Additionally, scale forms more readily
at higher water temperatures.
Super-Chlorination: Also known as “shock treatment.” SuperChlorination is a
process of adding significant doses of a quick dissolving sanitizer (“dichlor”
is recommended) to oxidize non-filterable organic waste and to remove
chloramines and bromamines.
Total Alkalinity (TA): The amount of bicarbonates, carbonates, and hydroxides
present in fitness system water. Proper total alkalinity is important for pH
control. If the TA is too high, the pH is difficult to adjust. If the TA is
too low, the pH will be difficult to hold at the proper level. The desired
range of TA in fitness system water is 80 to 120 ppm.

Water Quality and Maintenance
Care and Maintenance
Your ENDLESS POOLS fitness system is manufactured from the highest quality,
most durable materials available. Even so, the fitness system care and
maintenance program you develop will ultimately determine how long your
fitness system, and its individual components, will last. Regular maintenance
and following the advice in this section will help you to protect your
investment.
FILTER MAINTENANCE
At least once a week, check and clean the skimmer trays to ensure proper
filter flow. Remove leaves, foreign matter, and debris. It is very important
to keep your fitness system filter cartridges clean and free of particles to
ensure proper water flow. Clean filters enables the hydrotherapy system to
function properly and allows for more efficient filter cycles. Depending on
how frequently your fitness system is used, we recommend cleaning the fitness
system filter cartridges every four weeks. If this is not done, the filter may
clog and restrict water flow, which causes improper filtration, poor jet
performance and may possibly freeze. IMPORTANT: The frequency and duration of
use, and the number of occupants all contribute to determining the appropriate
time between filter cleanings. More use means that more frequent filter
cleanings will be required.
FILTER CARTRIDGE REMOVAL AND CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Place the fitness system in the “Standby” mode, then proceed as follows:
1. Find the filter grate inside the fitness system.
2. Pull the filter grate from the bottom up until it unlocks from the wall.
IMPORTANT: ONLY PULL FILTER GRATE UP SLIGHTLY.
3. Pull filter grate away from wall and set aside.
4. Pull skimmer tray away from wall, remove and clean.
5. To remove the filter, turn using the handle in the center of the filter
counter-clockwise.
6. Pull filter up, then angle the top away from the filter compartment to
pull filter completely out. Each filter has 4.5 m² of effective filter area.
7. Repeat steps 4 & 5 to remove second filter. Always clean the filter using
a filter degreaser to remove mineral and oil build-up. Simply soak the filter
in the degreaser (according to the package directions), then place the filter
on a clean surface and spray until clean using a garden hose. It may be
necessary to rotate the filter while spraying to remove any debris lodged
between the filter pleats.
8. Re-insert filter cartridge by reversing steps 5, 6 & 7. 9. Slide skimmer
try back into filter compartment reversing step 4. 10. Position filter grate
as seen in step 2 & 3, grate should touch wall of
fitness system slightly above black filter equipment compartment tracks. Slide
filter grate down until it stops. Repeat all of the above steps for the
filters on the opposite side NOTE: Replacement filter cartridges are available
from your ENDLESS POOLS dealer. Refer to the back of this manual to determine
the appropriate size for your fitness system.

DRAINING YOUR FITNESS SYSTEM
1. Turn off all RCD breakers in sub-panel, or main electrical panel.
2. Locate the drain valve (bottom, lower right of control panel) for the
fitness system.
Pull on handle (Figure 1, pliers
may be used to pull handle) until you reach the mid position then
Figure 1
rotate handle slightly to fully
extended drain tube (drain cap and 2.5 cm (1″) of the drain tube
Handle
is exposed) (Figure 2) then
remove the drain cap
(Figure 3).
Figure 2
NOTE: Do not remove drain cap in mid position. Attach the garden hose to the
end of the drain (to avoid flooding of the foundation surrounding the
fitness system) making sure not to push the drain tube inward. Route the
outlet of the hose to an appropriate draining area.
Drain Cap with
Handle
Figure 3
NOTE: Fitness system water with a high sanitizer level may harm plants and grass.
Drain Tube
3. Push the garden hose and drain tube half-way back towards the
fitness system (Figure 4) which will start the gravitational flow. Drain tube
must be in the mid
position for the fitness system to drain.
Figure 4
Garden Hose
IMPORTANT: All models will drain almost completely through the drain valve.
Equipment such as the jet pump and heating system may not completely drain.
Any water remaining within the plumbing or equipment after draining will only
need to be removed
if the fitness system is being winterized.
4. After your fitness system is empty, clean the shell and filter cartridges.
5. Pull and remove garden hose, replace drain cap and push drain tube back into fitness system as seen in Figure 1.
6. Follow the “START-UP PROCEDURES” to refill your fitness system.
WINTERIZING YOUR FITNESS SYSTEM
An ENDLESS POOLS fitness system may be used year round, even in colder
climates. If you will not be using the fitness system during the winter in an
area where freezing is a problem, special consideration must be taken to
protect the fitness system and auxiliary equipment if either is located
outside. If you have any questions regarding precautions to take against
freezing, please call your ENDLESS POOLS Dealer.
CARE OF THE PILLOWS (E500 & E700)
The fitness system pillows will provide years of comfort if treated with care.
They have been positioned above the water level to minimize the bleaching
effects of chlorinated water and other fitness system water chemicals. To
extend their life, whenever the fitness system shell is being cleaned, the
fitness system pillows should be removed and cleaned. Body oils can be removed
with a mild soap and water solution. ALWAYS rinse off the fitness system
pillows thoroughly to remove any soap residue. If the fitness system is not
going to be used for a long period of time (that is during a vacation or if
the fitness system is winterized), or when the fitness system water is being
super-chlorinated, the fitness system pillows should be removed until the next
use of the fitness system.
TO REMOVE AND REPLACE THE
PILLOWS:
1. Carefully lift one end of the pillow away from the fitness system shell.
2. Continue lifting one end until all pillow retainers are released from the
pillow.
IMPORTANT: Just pulling the pillow straight up and out of the shell recess
will eventually damage the pillow. This abuse is not covered under warranty.
3. To reinstall the fitness system pillow, carefully bend the pillow slightly
to allow one of the pillow retainers to slip into the recess in the back of
the pillow.
4. Keeping the pillow slightly bent, slide the other pillow retainer into the
recess in the back of the pillow.
5. After all the pillow retainers are in place, press the pillow down into
the recess in the fitness system shell.

Care and Maintenance
CARE OF THE EXTERIOR
FITNESS SYSTEM SHELL
Your ENDLESS POOLS fitness system has an acrylic shell. Stains and dirt
generally will not adhere to your fitness system’s surface. A soft rag or a
nylon scrubber should easily remove most dirt. Most household chemicals are
harmful to your fitness system’s shell (see below for detailed information on
cleaning agents). Always rinse off any fitness system shell cleaning agent
with fresh water.
FITNESS SYSTEM CABINET
All fitness systems use the exclusive all-climate cabinet designed for years
of performance. The unique design is made from a rigid polymer for durability
and adds a film finish that provides a rich appearance.
Cleaning consists of simply spraying the cabinet with a mild soap and water
solution to remove any stains and residue.
Do not rub the cabinet with an abrasive material or use abrasive cleaners as
this may damage its surface.
VINYL COVER (OPTIONAL)
The vinyl cover is an attractive, durable foam insulation product. Monthly
cleaning and conditioning are recommended to maintain its beauty. To clean and
condition the vinyl cover without a lifter:
1. Remove the covers from the fitness system and gently lean against a wall
or fence.
2. With a garden hose, spray the covers to loosen and rinse away dirt or
debris.
3. Using a large sponge and/or a soft bristle brush, and using a very mild
soap solution (one teaspoon dishwashing liquid with two gallons of water), or
baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), scrub the vinyl top in a circular motion. Do
not let the vinyl dry with a soap film on it before it can be rinsed clean.
4. Scrub the cover’s perimeter and side flaps. Rinse clean with water.
5. Rinse off the underside of the cover with water only (use no soap), and
wipe it clean with a dry rag.
IMPORTANT: To remove tree sap, use cigarette lighter fluid (not charcoal
lighter fluid). Use sparingly, and rinse with a saddle soap solution
immediately afterwards, then wipe dry.
HYDRAULIC TANK OIL REPLACEMENT
It is recommended to replace the non-food grade, biodegradable vegetable oil
and filter used for the swim machine or optional tandem treadmill hydraulic
units after 500 hours of use. Contact your ENDLESS POOLS dealer to perform
this maintenance.

Service Information
GENERAL INFORMATION
Your ENDLESS POOLS fitness system has been designed to provide years of
trouble-free use. As with any appliance, problems may occasionally occur that
require the expertise of a qualified service person. Though such simple
repairs as resetting a RCD switch or breaker, or resetting a high limit
thermostat may not require a service call, they may indicate that a more
serious condition exists. These conditions may require an experienced service
person. Before calling for service, please refer to the Troubleshooting Guide.
Always retain your original sales receipt for future reference.
RCD AND HIGH LIMIT THERMOSTAT
If your fitness system fails to operate at any time, first check the power
supply to the fitness system.
Check each of the RCD breakers in the subpanel. If a RCD has tripped, reset
it. If it will not reset, this may be an indication of a ground fault (short
circuit) within the electrical components. Contact an Authorized Service
Technician for a complete diagnosis.
If upon checking the RCD you find that they have not tripped, check the house
breaker panel and ensure the main breaker for the electrical circuit supplying
the fitness system has not tripped. If it has, this is an indication that the
circuit was either overloaded or a ground fault exists between the breaker
panel and the fitness system receptacle or subpanel. Contact a qualified
electrician.
If upon checking the main house breaker and fitness system RCD you find no
failures, check the high limit thermostat. To check it, simply turn off power
to the fitness system for 30 seconds. This will automatically reset the high
limit thermostat if it has tripped. If the fitness system energizes once you
turn the power back on, this indicates reduced water flow through the heating
system. Tripping of the high limit thermostat is normally a result of one or a
combination of these problems. 1) clogged filter cartridge(s), 2) blockage
within the system plumbing, 3) a nonfunctioning heater circulation pump, 4)
power was not disconnected from the fitness system before it was drained, 5)
an air lock in the plumbing lines. (The Power Indicator on the front of the
fitness system’s control panel will also be blinking if the high limit
thermostat circuit has tripped.)
If the fitness system does not function after tripping and resetting the RCD
or resetting the high limit thermostat, then the problem should be referred to
an Authorized Service Technician. Refer to the Troubleshooting Guide for
additional service information.
MISCELLANEOUS SERVICE INFORMATION
The control and high-limit thermostats are equipped with electronic sensors
that are connected to the fitness system’s plumbing. Never cut or kink the
wires that connect the sensors to the thermostats within the control box.
The jet pump is equipped with a thermal overload cutoff switch that is
designed to protect the pump from overheating. If the pump shuts itself off in
an older fitness system, it could indicate failure of the pump motor bearings.
If the pump shuts itself off in a new fitness system, it is usually the result
of one or a combination of the following factors:
· Thermal overload: Although mass-produced, not all thermal overload cutoffs
are exactly the same. Some are more sensitive than others and will shut the
pump off at lower temperatures.
· High temperature: All ENDLESS POOLS fitness system models are equipped with
a jet pump shroud that vents the heat generated by the pump motor to the
outside of the equipment compartment, and back into the fitness system water.
If the vent is blocked by masonry, grass or debris, overheating of the jet
pump may occur. Once the pump motor has cooled sufficiently and any blockage
has been removed from the vent opening, the jet pump can be restarted.
· Friction: Sometimes the moving parts of a new pump are tight enough to cause
heat build-up due to friction. After a normal break-in period, the pump will
run cooler.
· Improper wiring: If the fitness system is connected with an extension cord,
and/or the house wiring is undersized, the pump may starve for voltage and
therefore may draw more amperage and generate excessive heat.
· If the pump is shutting down due to excessive heat, make sure the equipment
compartment has adequate ventilation. The air gap at the bottom must not be
blocked. Should your jet pump continue to shut off after short periods of use,
contact a qualified service technician.
ACTS INVALIDATING WARRANTY
The limited warranty is void if the ENDLESS POOLS fitness system has been
improperly installed, subjected to alteration, misuse, or abuse, or if any
repairs on the fitness system are attempted by anyone other than an authorized
representative of Watkins Wellness. Alteration shall include any component or
plumbing change, electrical conversion, or the addition of any non-approved
sanitation or water purification device or heating system which contributes to
component or unit failure or unsafe operating system. Misuse and abuse shall
include any operation of the fitness system other than in accordance with
Watkins Wellness printed instructions, or use of the fitness system in an
application for which it is not designed; specifically: use of the fitness
system in a non-residential application; damage caused by operation* of the
fitness system at water temperatures outside the range of 2°C and 49°C (35°F
and 120°F); damage caused by a dirty, clogged or calcified filter cartridge;
damage to the fitness system surface caused by the use of tri-chloro chlorine,
BCDMH, misuse of chemical tablets in a floater, acid, or any other fitness
system chemicals or fitness system surface cleaners which are not recommended
by Watkins Wellness; damage caused by allowing undissolved fitness system
sanitizing chemicals to lie on the fitness system surface (no fitness system
surface material can withstand this kind of abuse); damage to components or
fitness system surface caused by improper water chemistry maintenance; and
damage to the fitness system surface caused by leaving the fitness system
uncovered while empty of water and in direct exposure to sunlight (this may
cause solar heating distress in warm weather regions). These are considered
abuses and may invalidate this warranty.
Operation of the fitness system does not mean “use” of the fitness system!
Watkins Wellness does not recommend using the fitness system if the water
temperature is above or below the fitness system’s control panel temperature
range.
