Usage of heater (City Tub & City Arctic)
Figure A shows the heater connected. Connect the upper hose (2b) to the heater
and the lower (2a) to the pump.
NOTE! Always remove insulation (7) before using the heater! See picture
B. When the heater is in use, the front door can be tilted as picture B shows
and protect from wind and rain.
The insulation (7) is put back in place when the heater is no longer in use,
before the insulated door is put in place. See picture C.
NOTE! In cold weather when there is risk of freezing! Remove the heater with pump and store them in a frostfree place. If water is left in the tub and the heater is turned off, the pump and circulation must be kept running. Leave the pump and gas heater connected according to figure A and close the insulated front door according to figure C. For the uninsulated City Tub, it is recommended to always drain the water after use in case there is a risk of freezing. Disconnect the heater with a pump and store in a frost-free place.
Filling of water
Filling is generally done with a garden hose connected to the water mains. If
another water source is used, take special consideration regarding the
potential for bacteria. Read the instructions on water hygiene and the use of
chemicals.
Remember that the water level will rise by approx. 5 cm when an average-sized
person sits in the Hot Tub. This is equivalent to 80 liters of water. The
water level should be 20 cm below the edge when empty. The total amount of
water to heat up is subsequently reduced by ca. 200 liters. If the Hot Tub is
completely filled, this amount of water will flood over the edges when the
users sit down.
Draining of water – In the bottom of the hot tub there is a drain valve.
Pressing it opens the valve and the water can flow out through the drain hose.
Another press closes it. The drain hose may be extended, a 32 mm outer
diameter is suitable. NOTE! The drain valve is made so that it does not open
too easily, thus high water levels can prevent it from opening. If so, some
water can be drained via the heater outlet until the bottom valve can open.
Cleaning the hot tub – After the water has been used in a hot tub so it
should be emptied out. The hot tub
is then rinsed out with clean fresh water. If the water has been in it for a
long time, it should also be scrubbed with soap. If you have a heater from
SpaDealers so it should always be emptied of water.
Heating device – Always read the separate instructions supplied with the
heating device, for example, wood heater or gas heater. Be sure to follow them
and take also into account the possible risk of freezing.
Function of Heater
The heater has a water flow control, is fully automatic and easy to use.
Before the pump there is a filter which ensures that debris is not sucked in
and it’s important that it’s kept clean. The most common problem that can
occur is when dirty water is used and the filter gets clogged. This causes the
water flow to diminish. The heater then switches off. No temperature is shown
in the display and no spark. The problem is solved by cleaning the filter.
USE THE RIGHT LOW PRESSURE CONTROLLER
The types of gas cylinders and connection methods of low pressure regulators (30mbar, 2kg / h) can vary. It is important that the correct low pressure regulator is used. Here are examples of the right type and also incorrect types. NEVER USE an adjustable controller.
Examples of correct gas reducers and incorrect ones
Note that the amount of gas that the heater needs to give full effect is 1.6 kg / h. With a flow of 1 kg / h, the effect is 60% less. So the most optimal is 2 kg / h.
BEFORE STARTING
Check that the gas type corresponds to that stated on the rating plate, see page 2 in the heater’s operating instructions. CHECK THAT THERE ARE NO GAS LEAKS! Open the gas valve and see instructions on page 7 in the heater’s operating instructions.
START UP > Start the pump, the ignition switch (11) is activated via ON /
OFF, the ignition switches on and “on” sound occurs during the ignition
procedure, the sound stops after the gas burner has started; hot water comes
out. NOTE: When using the heater for the first time, or after a long
period of inactivity, repeated ignition attempts are needed to remove any air
in the gas line.
Use the “GAS” knob to adjust the gas flow and “Power” to adjust the number of
burners (one or three). “Gas” and “Power” set to max position give maximum
effect. Note! The “Water” knob adjusts the water flow and it must always be
set to the MAX position. If set to MIN, it reduces the water flow through the
heat exchanger and causes the water coming out to become so hot that the
heater’s overheating thermostat (placed on the outlet pipe after the heat
exchanger) activates and the heater stops.
SWITCH OFF > Close the main valve for the gas and switch off the pump.
Foundation and placement options
Place the Hot Tub on a stable base and not directly on the ground.
Maintenance
The wood on the outside must be treated with wood oil annually. The oil must be suitable for hard wood or heat treated wood and provide UV protection. It would be also good if it contains a slight brownish nuance in order to provide more protection.
Untreated/Oiled/Untreated > 3 years
