SAFETY INFORMATION
NORTH AMERICA (60Hz)
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When installing and using this electrical equipment be sure to follow these
basic safety precautions:
-
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are always closely supervised.
-
DANGER: Risk of accidental drowning. Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent unauthorised access by children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children cannot use this spa unless they are supervised at all times.
-
DANGER: Risk of injury. The suction fittings in this spa are sized to match the specific water flow created by the pump. Should the need arise to replace the suction fitting or the pump, ensure that the flow rates are compatible. Never operate the spa if suction fittings are broken or missing. Never replace a suction fitting with one rated less than the flow rate marked on the original suction fitting.
-
DANGER: Risk of Electrical Shock. Install at least 5ft (1.5m) from all metal surfaces. As an alternative, the spa may be installed within 5ft (1.5m) of
metal surfaces if each metal surface is permanently connected (bonded) by a minimum ground wire. -
DANGER: Risk of Electrical Shock. Do not permit any electrical appliance such as a light, telephone, radio, television, etc. within 5ft (1.5m) of a spa unless such appliances are installed and built-in by the manufacturer.
-
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY: The electrical supply for this product must include a suitably rated switch or circuit breaker to open all ungrounded supply conductors to comply with the national electrical standards. This disconnect must be readily accessible and visible to the spa occupant but installed at least 5ft (1.5m) from the spa water.
-
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury:
- The water in the spa should never exceed 40°C (104°F). Water temperature between 38°C (100°F) and 40°C (104°) is considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended for young children and when the spa use exceeds 10 minutes.
- Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during the early months of pregnancy, pregnant women should limit spa water temperatures to 38°C (100°F)
- Before entering a spa, the user should measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of water temperature regulating devices varies.
- The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa use may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
- Obese persons and persons with a history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes should consult a physician before using a spa.
- Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a spa since some medications may induce drowsiness while other medications may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.
-

INSTALLATION
-
WINTER INSTALL
Do NOT proceed with installing your hot tub in freezing temperatures! In colder temperatures please make sure to place a space heater inside the cabinet immediately after delivery for 24 to 48 hours before installation to prevent startup issues. -
LICENSED ELECTRICIAN
A licensed electrician can install the wiring by drilling a hole into any panel and terminating the connection at the control pack. -
PROPER SPA BASE
All hot tubs must be placed on a proper base that is reinforced for the weight of the hot tub, water and people who may be within the hot tub at any given time. This base must be flat and come in contact with the entire base of the spa. We recommend a base that can support at least 150 pounds per square foot such as a 4-6 inches poured concrete pad. -
ATTACH SPA COVER
Lay your cover onto your hot tub then line up locking straps and secure with mounting hardware. Use the lock and key clasps to secure your cover in place. Always lock your cover when the hot tub is unattended. Do NOT walk or sit on the spa cover.
GFCI TROUBLESHOOTING (240V ONLY)
Keep in mind that the majority of 240V GFCI tripping problems can be attributed to incorrect wiring. GFCI troubleshooting usually finds the problem
REFER TO THE DIAGRAM ON THE NEXT PAGE
IF CORRECT WIRING IS VERIFIED
- IMPORTANT: All electrical installation work must be performed by a qualified electrician and must conform to local codes
- Check to see if the proper-sized GFCI is installed.
- Be sure the GFCI is rated for more amperage than the system will draw.
- For a 240V system, the GFCI must include a load neutral out.
- NOTE: If the white load neutral wire is routed from the GFCI neutral bar directly to TB1 in the system box, then the GFCI will trip when a 120V device is activated. This is the most common reason if your hot tub is tripping immediately.
- If the wiring is correct and the GFCI will not reset, then unplug the heater and try to reset the GFCI.
- If the GFCI trips again, then unplug the pump and reset the GFCI. If the GFCI continues to trip, then do the same procedure for the ozone generator.
- If the GFCI stops tripping after you unplugged one of the spa’s components, turn off the power to the spa then plug in each component except the one that tripped the GFCI.
- Power up the system. If the GFCI no longer trips, then you have correctly identified the problem.
- Repair or replace the component as instructed by the spa manufacturer.
- If everything looks to be in perfect working order, then the GFCI may be defective.
WARNING:
THE OWNER SHOULD TEST AND RESET THE GFCI REGULARLY TO VERIFY ITS FUNCTION

AIR CONTROL VALVE
Open and close this valve to inject air bubbles into the jet stream. The warm
air from inside the cabinet is mixed with the water to help maximize the
hydrotherapy experience!
FILTER HOUSING
This is where you will fill your hot tub with water as well as where your
filter is located. We recommend changing your filter every 120 days for
maximum cleanliness and chemical balance
TOPSIDE CONTROLS
The topside is the control centre where you can program any of the electrical
functions for your revitalizing experience!
JETS
The massage is the best part! Our jets offer massage or directional styles!

CONTROL PACK & HEATER
Our control pack software design incorporates patented technology using a
microprocessor to intelligently monitor the hot tub water temperature and
detect a runaway pump or stuck relays.
OZONE GENERATOR
When ozone is injected into the hot tub water, it helps to sanitize the water
by reducing the amount of chemicals needed. The ozone generator will
automatically run during the filtration cycle within your spa.
**ELECTRICAL***

mind when placing your tub in its location. All 240V hot tubs allow you to
choose which panel you would like to drill a hole into for your wiring to pass
