SAFETY PRECAUTIONS – READ CAREFULLY
Follow the precautions below to ensure that your product is used and set up correctly. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or damage to your property. Please read and follow the instructions. Keep the instruction manual in a safe place for future reference.
DROWNING AND SAFETY INFORMATION
-
RISK OF ACCIDENTAL DROWNING. Children are forbidden from using the CleverSpa® unless they are supervised at all times by a responsible adult.
-
D ANGER — Risk of Accidental Drowning (especially children under 5 years). Caution shall be exercised to prevent unauthorized access to the spa by children. This can be reached by adult supervisor securing the means of access or installing a safety protection device to the spa. To avoid accidents during spa use, ensure that children are kept under constant adult supervision.
-
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Never operate any external/additional electrical appliance when in the CleverSpa® or when your body is wet. Keep electrical appliances away from the CleverSpa®.
-
RISK OF STATIC SHOCK. The PVC liner of the tub, touching or rubbing against surfaces such as the ground sheet or artificial grass, can cause electrons to build up a negative charge on the liner material. Since plastics are insulators, they are poor conductors of electricity. Electrical charges tend to build up on the surface
of insulators resulting in static electricity. When touched by a human this can cause a static shock. Static electricity cannot seriously harm you. -
Any damage to electrical cables should be replaced by a competent party immediately before further use.
-
When not in use, cover should be fitted and locked to help retain heat. This also prevents unsupervised children accessing the CleverSpa®.
-
Pets should be kept away from your CleverSpa® at all times.
-
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CABLE as this can be a fire risk. We suggest using an external mains socket that is weather proofed, fitted by a qualified electrician.
-
DO NOT OVERLOAD THE HOT TUB PLUG SOCKET. Short circuits can cause loss of power due to overloading of the socket and potentially melt the wiring, which can lead to an electrical fire or irreparable damage to the socket and any appliances connected to it.
-
Appliance should be supplied through a residual current device (RCD/GFCI type) with a rated tripping current not exceeding 30mA.
-
Ensure the hot tub plug inserts fully into the plug socket, fitting tightly and flat into the socket and wall to avoid arcing and overheating, which could cause the socket to crack or melt.
-
Check your mains socket and RCD plug to ensure there is no visible damage or standing water before using.
-
T o avoid accidental resetting of thermal cut-out, this appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.
-
If using an outdoor power socket please ensure that it features a weatherproof protective cover, that shuts fully and securely.
-
Ensure that your power socket and its surrounding location is free from damp, condensation or any water ingress. Water within an electrical socket can rapidly increase the current flowing through the circuit, which could cause a short circuit as the fuse is blown.
-
Do not turn CleverSpa® on when it is empty. This could cause irreparable damage to pump system which would nullify any warranty period. Ensure water is at the minimum line prior to switching on.
IMPORTANT!
Do not obstruct water outlet. This can damage the motor.
- WARNING — To reduce the risk of injury/illness. The water in a spa should never exceed 40°C (104°F). Lower water temperatures are recommended for young children and when spa use exceeds 10 min. It is recommended to seek medical advice before use. Operating temperatures between 38-40°C (100-104°F) are considered safe for a healthy adult. The temperature can be programmed. Once cover is removed, water temperature may automatically drop as heat is released through evaporation.
- For health & safe ty reasons, it is not safe for children under the age of 8 yrs to use a hot tub. Children using hot tubs over the age of 8 yrs should only use the hot tub at a max temperature of 35°C (95°F) as children are less able to regulate their body temperature.
- The user should check the water temperature before entering the spa.
- Soaking in hot water during pregnancy can cause damage to the unborn foetus. If you have any specific concerns please consult your doctor before continuing to use your hot tub.
- P eople with the following traits are at higher risk and should consult a doctor before using CleverSpa®x, including those with history of lung or heart disease, chronic respiratory or kidney disease, impaired immune system, low/high blood pressure, circulatory system problems or diabetes. People using medication should consult their doctor before using the CleverSpa®. Some medications may cause drowsiness, whilst other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure and circulation during use.
- The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa use may lead to unconsciousness, with the possibility of drowning.
- Persons with any medical condition should seek medical advice before using a spa.
- Persons using medication should seek medical advice before using a spa since some medication may induce drowsiness while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.
- Avoid putting the head under water at all times.
- Avoid swallowing spa water
- Immediately exit your CleverSpa® if you feel uncomfortable or sleepy.
CAUTION
-
Regularly monitor and appropriately treat the water in your hot tub using the recommended chemicals.
-
Always add chemicals to a jug of water (not the other way around) to avoid strong fumes or violent reactions that may result in a hazardous chemical spray. This will also help prevent the inside of the hot tub from becoming discoloured.
-
L egionnaires’ disease can be contracted by inhaling small droplets of water (called aerosols), which are suspended in the air and contain the bacteria. Certain conditions increase the risk of Legionella if the water temperature is between 20-45°C (68oF-113o F), which is suitable for growth of the bacteria. Deposits that can support bacterial growth providing a source of nutrients for the organism e.g. rust, sludge, scale, organic matter and biofilms (from the body).
-
Hot tub rash, or folliculitis, is a skin infection with symptoms including itchy red spots on the skin or pus-filled blisters around hair follicles. To avoid this, ensure your Chlorine and pH levels are checked at least twice per
day using test strips – hot tubs with good disinfectant and pH control are less likely to spread germs. For more information visit: clevercompany.com/support/chemical-maintenance. -
Shower before using your CleverSpa®. Fake tan, suncream and other cosmetic products, can degrade water quality and block the filter.
-
Blocked filters can damage your pump and heater, which could ultimately cause it to break. Clean your filters regularly, rotating 2-3 filters, in order to always have a clean filter to hand. See filter cleaning tips.
-
Extreme temperature fluctuations can be caused by blocked filters when the motor is unable to draw enough water into the system. A small amount of water will still remain in the heating reservoir (approx 300ml). Although the thermostat will turn the element off once the set temperature is reached, the residual heat from the element will continue to heat the small amount of water in the reservoir until the heating element has cooled. This may cause the control panel to display an artificially high reading, not reflecting the actual water temperature. The hot tub is fitted with an ‘Overheat Protection’ function which will activate the HL error code and a warning beep. See error codes for solution.
INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONAL INFORMATION
-
SUPPORTING THE HOT TUB – There is a requirement that the support materials shall be strong enough to support the maximum design load of the spa, spa water and bathers. Recommendation to ask a qualified contractor or a structural engineer to verify this requirement. Special attention should be given where the spa
is to be installed on a suspended floor (e.g. balcony, decking and roof terrace). In these instances the client/consumer shall be advised of the full load weight of the spa, including any fixtures and fittings (e.g. gazebo), so that they can obtain structural calculations from a structural engineer. -
The surface must be smooth, flat, level and capable of evenly supporting the weight of the CleverSpa®, water and users e.g. 6 Person Square CleverSpa® filled weight: 980kg (approx) plus combined weight of occupants. It is the responsibility of the CleverSpa® owner to assure integrity of the site at all times.
-
Insulate the base of the hot tub, using a foam mat, to reduce heat loss.
-
Ensure the area is free of sharp objects under or around the hot tub.
-
Consider the best placement of the hot tub to allow for draining of the water during disassembly.
-
Ensure there is adequate drainage to deal with any overflow of water.
-
Consideration for positioning of the spa to minimize noise disturbance as much as possible.
-
Dirt entering the hot tub could cause damage to the hot tub floor and could cause the filter to block.
-
DO NOT OVERINFLATE YOUR HOT TUB – Air space needs to be left inside the wall of the hot tub to allow for air expansion (during warmer weather) and contraction (during colder weather). Do not place your hot tub in direct sunlight. If this advice is ignored, the wall and rim of the hot tub could bulge during warmer weather as the PVC heats up, putting additional stress on the internal welds, this causes weld failures. In both of these instances, the warranty would be void. (See page 14 showing correct inflation).
-
If applicable, requirements for protecting the spa from direct sunlight exposure when not in use, and the means provided or recommended for it.
-
Do not switch on if there is any possibility that water in the CleverSpa® or control system is frozen.
-
Y our hot tub is fitted with 365 FreezeGuard Technology, to help prevent water freezing and to protect your pump & heating system during colder weather. This is activated by pressing the 365 Freezeguard button on your control panel.
-
During colder weather the hot tub should only be kept outside if the 365 FreezeGuard feature has been activated. Failure to do this could cause water to freeze within the pump & heating system causing irreparable damage, thus voiding your warranty.
-
Do not attempt to lift or drag the hot tub after filling it with water.
-
Check the set water temperature and consider lowering it for the times when the spa will typically not be in use.
-
Depending on external conditions, consider turning off the heater entirely if not using the spa for an extended period of time (where the spa provides this option, but still maintains residual disinfection/pH-values).
-
Consider that the comfortable temperature range during use may be lower than the maximum safe temperature.
-
For above ground portable spas without floor insulation, consider using an insulating ground cloth underneath the spa to minimize heat loss through the bottom of the spa.
-
Maintain clean filters to preserve appropriate working conditions for the pump and avoid unnecessary water replacement and re-heating.
-
Water in the hot tub should never exceed 40°C (104°F). Operating temperatures between 38-40°C (100-104°F) are considered safe for a healthy adult. We recommend lower temperatures when using the hot tub for longer than 10 continuous minutes. The temperature can be programmed. Once cover is removed, water temperature may automatically drop as heat is released through evaporation.
-
In the absence of automated and/or continuous water treatment (measurement and chemical dosage) any manual dosing of chemicals shall not be performed while bathers are present in the spa.
WATER DRAINAGE
- C onsideration for a draining system around/under the spa to evacuate to waste the water poured by the bathers exiting the spa, splashes, (abnormal) leaking, accidental overflow etc., for regular cleaning of the spa and its surroundings, and regular emptying of the spa or during long term spa storage. Special attention should be given to areas that have high water tables, are prone to flooding and/or are sited indoors. Drainage to the surround should be sufficient to allow wash down. Where non-porous duckboard type flooring is used, it shall be provided with drainage under to waste and facilities to clean and wash beneath and consequently be easily removed.
THE TOP COVER
- When the hot tub is not in use, always keep the cover fitted, this helps minimize heat loss between uses / during heating. Ensure the cover is fitted tightly, as directed to maximize insulation. When the cover is not in use it should be stored in an appropriate location, where it cannot be damaged, or cause damage. The cover should be stored in a clean, dry area, otherwise it can pick up dirt and bacteria. We recommend that the cover is kept off the ground to retain its cleanliness (particularly the surface in close proximity to the water spa water surface). Covers should not be put on wooden tables or wooden decking because of the risk of bleaching the wood. A cover lifter, or similar device, is useful for ensuring that the cover does not come into contact with the ground. Top covers shall be cleaned inside and out periodically using a suitable solution that includes adequate disinfection (e.g. 10 mg/l of Free Chlorine).
OUTDOOR INSTALLATION
- T he need to take into consideration local environmental conditions, such as ground water and risk of frost and for those professional installers to include a discussion of these conditions with the client.
INDOOR INSTALLATION
-
A dvice for suitable air treatment in the spa chamber (ventilation and dehumidification) to preserve the bathers’ safety/comfort and the building and decorative materials present in the chamber.
-
Consider not to installing the spa on carpet or other floor materials (e.g. untreated cork, timber or other porous materials) that promote or harbor moisture and bacteria, or that could be affected by water treatment chemicals used in the spa.
-
Consider that it should remain possible to remove the spa from the chamber/building without destroying
part of the built structure. -
Spa surround Barefoot areas and relaxing areas shall be considered in the cleaning process as well. No cleaning water may flow into the spa or spa water cycle. The dirt and cleaning agents shall be rinsed carefully to drain in the spa surround.

MAINTENANCE & REPAIR
USING CLEVERSPA® FOR THE FIRST TIME
If you are using your hot tub for the first time, or have changed the water,
you will need to chemically ‘Shock’ your hot tub water. Shocking the water in
your CleverSpa® hot tub will sanitise the water ensuring it is safe to bathe,
destroying any bacteria. Good chemical maintenance is very important and will
reduce the number of times your CleverSpa® requires fresh clean water.
HARDWATER/LIMESCALE
If you live in an area with hard water, you may experience limescale build up
and residue in your CleverSpa® pump & heating system which could significantly
reduce the lifespan of some internal components, stopping the hot tub from
working. In order to reduce the effects of limescale build up please check the
water hardness in your area. If you are affected please ensure that CleverSpa®
Descaler is used weekly to prevent scale formation and build up.
CLEANING YOUR CLEVERSPA
To clean your CleverSpa®, use soap and water then rinse thoroughly. PLEASE
NOTE: do not use hard brushes or abrasive cleaners. For best results we
recommend the use of our CleverSpa® Sponge.
REPAIRING PUNCTURES IN YOUR CLEVERSPA
If your CleverSpa® is torn/punctured, use repair patches. Completely dry area
to be repaired, apply strong adhesive to repair patch and then cover the
damaged area. Smooth the surface to remove any air bubbles. Leave to dry for
12 hours before using the CleverSpa®.
HOW TO EMPTY YOUR CLEVERSPA®
- Remove CleverSpa® plug from electrical mains.
- Unscrew cap from drainage outlet (L) below pump system of CleverSpa®. Ensure Drainage Plug (G) is still inserted to prevent unexpected draining.
- Screw inflation hose (D) onto the water outlet (L) and direct open end of hose appropriately.
- Remove drainage plug from outlet within floor of CleverSpa®, so water can flow out.
- Once drained use a sponge to absorb excess water; then operate air jet function for up to 20 minutes (one full cycle) to drain any water and dry out the pipeline. If not completely dry after first cycle – repeat.
- When draining has finished, remove inflation hose (D) and replace drainage plug (G) and outlet cap (L).
HOW TO DEFLATE YOUR CLEVERSPA®
- Locate the black two-part air valve (K).
- Fully unscrew and remove rapid deflation air valve by turning anti-clockwise (K).
- Fold hot tub away carefully to remove as much air as possible through the open valve.
STORING YOUR CLEVERSPA
Make sure all water is completely drained from the CleverSpa® and pump system.
This is vital in extending the life of your CleverSpa®. We recommend the use
of a wet/dry vacuum to help blow out/ suck up water from pipes and pump lines.
Remove filter cartridge. CleverSpa® should be placed in bag provided and
stored in a dry place, raised off floor and away from extreme temperatures.
Please note: When not in use, store in a place that is dry and a moderate
temperature, as subzero temperatures can severely damage your CleverSpa®.
CORRECT INFLATION
How do I know my hot tub is inflated correctly?Here is an example image of the
correct inflation level for a standard hot tub. Once inflated correctly you
should be able to push your hand approximately 4-5cm into the top rim using
moderate force creating creases similar to the picture above. Keeping your hot
tub inflated to the correct pressure ensures optimum liner performance,
reducing the risk of ripping and seam failures.
OVERINFLATION
How do I know how much air should I inflate my hot tub with? If you are not
able to push your hand into the rim of the hot tub by approximately 4-5cm with
moderate force, then your hot tub is over-inflated. An overinflated hot tub
can result in ripping or disfiguring the liner and seriously damaging the hot
tub altogether.
FILTER REPLACEMENT & CLEANING TIPS – ARE IMPORTANT!
IMPORTANT!
If your hot tub is making an unusual noise, your filter needs removing and
cleaning or changing. The frequency of use and condition of your filter will
determine how often your filter needs changing.
WHEN TO CHANGE A CLEVERSPA® FILTER
Keep your CleverSpa® hot tub clean and safe from contaminants. For optimum
performance, unscrew the filter and rinse with clean water after every use to
remove any small particles and residue. The filter is one of the most
important elements to ensure your CleverSpa® hot tub works effectively.
- Turn off the filter at the control panel to prevent any debris being drawn into the motor
- Remove filter ‘sock’ protective cover (C) then remove filter (B).
- Rinse the filter under a cold tap and reuse. Alternatively, machine wash your filter (place in a pillowcase) to keep it clean and to maintain its performance. Rotate the cleaning of 2-3 filters to ensure you always have a clean filter available ready to use.
REPLACE OLD FILTER WITH A NEW ONE IF:
- The filter remains soiled after cleaning
- Holes are visible in the paper
- The paper is noticeably worn
Replace filter ‘sock’ protective cover (C) over filter (B) and attach to filter connector (N) by turning it clockwise. Do not over tighten, as this may cause a ‘rattling’ noise.
REMEMBER – CLEAN AFTER EVERY USE!
The filter is one of the most important elements to ensure your CleverSpa® hot
tub works effectively.
TIPS FOR CLEANING YOUR CLEVERSPA® FILTER
CLEVERSPA® FILTER AFTER USE
- Please note – the more frequently you use your hot tub the quicker your filters will become dirty.
CLEANED IN A DISHWASHER
- Place on a quick cycle using a dishwasher tablet. We highly recommend cleaning your filters in an empty dishwasher.
CLEANED IN A WASHING MACHINE
- Place on a quick cycle using normal detergent. We recommend placing your filters inside a pillow case or in a towel to reduce noise.
HOT TUB ‘SOAK FILTER CLEANER
- Using CleverSpa® ‘Soak’ Filter Cleaner, will ensure optimum Filter performance.

TROUBLESHOOTING
CONTROL PANEL ERROR CODES
CODE | CAUSE | SOLUTION |
---|---|---|
FC | The FC error code, with a small light beside it, will appear when |
the filtration system has worked for approx 168 hours advising you to check your filter. The pump & heating buttons will be disabled.| Check the filter is clean and change if necessary (See Filter Cleaning Tips). Once this has been checked, press the ‘Filter’ button & the FC Error code will disappear. The water
temperature will be displayed and all the functions will return to normal.
HL| An HL error usually means there is a blockage, preventing water from
circulating around the pump & heating system. The blockage can be caused by a dirty/old filter, a blocked impeller or limescale build up – especially if you live in an area with hard water.
Check here:
www.aquacure.co.uk/knowledge- base/uk-hard-water-map
This can cause an artificially high temperature reading to be displayed on the control panel.
| Checking for water flow.
1. Place your hand into the water approx. 6-8 inches away from the outlet.
2. You should feel the water flowing through the outlet valve.
If the flow rate is very weak or non-existent or your hot tub is making an excessive rattling/grinding noise, follow the steps below.
1. Ensure that your filter has been cleaned. Check out our filter maintenance advice.
2. Be sure to also clean and rinse the protective filter cover.
3. Replace your filter with a new one.
4. Ensure the filter is not overtightened.
Remember: Sun cream, fake tan, soap etc can force the motor to work much harder as these can clog a filter faster. See filter cleaning tips section.
I have cleaned my filter but my CleverSpa® still hasn’t heated?
Please try the following steps:
1. Turn off the filter and heater.
2. Remove the protective filter cover and filter.
3. Place the filter cover over the filter inlet and use an elastic band to hold it in place. This helps prevent debris being drawn into the pump while there is not filter fitted.
4. Press the ‘Heater’ button on and re set the temperature on the control panel.
5. If the temperature now begins to rise and maintain its temperature it is likely that your filter needs replacing.
6. Please replace your old filter with a new one. Check out our filter maintenance information.
Limescale Blockage
Many areas have hard water, causing limescale build up within home appliances.
As with other products we strongly advise that you incorporate a descaling routine into your hot tub maintenance schedule to reduce the effects of limescale build up.
We recommend that the CleverSpa® Descaler is used weekly to prevent scale formation and build up, this will ensure your hot tub is running smoothly.
1. Turn off the hot tub at the mains.
2. Remove the Filter and protective cover.
3. Place your garden hose pipe against the filter inlet hole and outlet holes.
4. Run clean water through the system, helping to remove any debris or loose limescale.
5. Collect and remove any loose particles from the water, ideally using a net.
6. Follow the instructions for use as directed on the Descaler packaging.
Impeller Blockage/Debris
If a hot tub is used without a filter, or debris has been drawn into the motor it may cause the impeller within the water pump to seize.
We advise following the below steps to check for problems.
1. Turn off the hot tub at the mains.
2. Drain the water from the hot tub.
3. Remove the filter and protective filter cover.
4. Perform a visual check of the outlet inside and out – check for anything that maybe obstructing the water flow.
My CleverSpa® is still showing HL and not heating.

CODE | CAUSE | SOLUTION |

failure. | Please contact the CleverSpa® Aftersales Team so that we can arrange |

SL| An SL Error Code showing on your CleverSpa® is a low temperature notification.
We can offer guidance to help resolve the problem.
1. Blocked or dirty Filter.
2. Low Temperature. When the weather is cold, the SL code may appear. This is most likely due to the pipe and heater being too cold to function.
| This error code can be easily resolved by:
1. Pouring some hot or warm water into the hot tub (either using a hot water pipe or buckets of hot/warm water).
2. Pouring some hot water into the top outlet.
A SL Error Code showing on your CleverSpa® Control Panel can mean there is a blockage in the system which is preventing hot water from circulating. We can offer guidance to help resolve the problem.
Turn off the hot tub at the MAINS socket, remove the RCD Plug from the socket, wait 10 seconds, then Plug the RCD Plug back into the MAINS socket.
Remember: Sun cream, fake tan & soap etc can force the filter to work much harder.
After cleaning your filter does your CleverSpa® still not heat? Have you tried replacing your filter with a new one?
Also, have you ensured that your filter is not screwed on too tightly?
