Pre-Delivery Information

Spa Delivery Access Guide

Before delivery check your spa height and width and add 5cm clearance on each side to ensure access.

Check that the hot tub can clear a 90° turn

Rotary Isolation Switch (pictured). Make sure you have a qualified electrician prepare the electrics. Allow 5 metre slack to connect to Spa.

Ensure you have prepared a level concrete base or a properly fitted existing patio or decking with access to a drain.
NOTE : A 10-15 cm concrete base is ideal preparation for a hot tub.
Access: Canadian Spa hot tubs are usually delivered on a flat bed trailer, up to 5 metres long, 2.4 metres wide and 3.5 metres high. Please ensure that there is adequate access for such a vehicle to reach your property. When off loading from our vehicle to the spa site, a minimum of 1100mm width is required, (some models vary) this also needs to be flat and a minimum clear vertical height of 9ft should be considered also.
Electrical supply: If you are having your spa installed, it will be necessary to have a dedicated electrical circuit supply fitted. You will require up to 32 Amp (type C Breaker) supply, dependent on the length from the service point. Your spa  must be protected via a RCD and suitable over current protection.
A minimum of 5 metres of cable is required for connection into your spa from the Isolator.
Electrical installation: Arrange for a licensed electrician run the required 230-volt power line to the spa installation site.
This power line must be permanently connected (hard-wired) to the mains supply. Do not use extension cords or plug-in type connections. At the site where the spa is to be located leave 5 metres of cable and the appropriate cable gland. All electrical wiring to a spa must be installed by a qualified, licensed electrician, and meet required electrical standards.
Water : The best means of filling your spa is with a garden hosepipe (use cold water not hot water). Please ensure that you have one readily available. If you are aware that your water pressure is poor, we should be advised prior to delivery. The design of our spas allows for easy drainage, again, using the hosepipe which conveniently fits onto the drain valve situated at the base of your spa. Ideally, you should empty the water to a nearby drain. You may wish to purchase a suitable submersible pump to speed up this process.
Decking around your spa: Ensure that you are aware of the above measurements. Always consider during your planning that any decking boards and supporting beams that you install allow access to the sides of your Spa. It is the customers’ responsibility to ensure that any decking is clear of these areas prior to any visit by our technicians (Allow 1 metre clearance around your hot tub and if you have decking ensure part of your decking can be removed in order to gain access for future repair or servicing). If you are unsure then please ask before ground construction and the delivery of your spa.
Your spa must be sited on a solid, flat, level base which is the same size or larger than the spa. The base can be either a 10-15cm concrete slab or suitably strengthened timber decking or existing patio area assuming it has suitable foundations of hardcore. Whatever base area is chosen, it must be of suitable load bearing capacity. Please ensure your base has suitable drainage.

Filling up your Spa

IMPORTANT : Before filling the spa, it is important to read and understand the water chemistry section of this manual. Do not proceed until the water chemistry section is understood and the source water is tested.
Verify that the spa is in the desired final location. Refer to the ‘Choose your location’ section – once filled, the spa cannot be moved without draining.
Follow these filling instructions to avoid damage to the spa pumps:

  1. Leave power to the spa off until spa is completely filled.

  2. Never leave an unfilled spa exposed to direct sunlight with out the Spa Cover installed. Resulting damage such as bubbles and wrinkles in the spa shell and fading of the jet faces is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.

  3. Never operate spa pump without water because this could result in permanent pump and/or heater damage which is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.

  4. Remove all warning labels from spa shell.

  5. Remove the filter lid, basket and filter cartridge.

  6. Inspect all Jets (shipping may cause jets to become loose or detached). Check to see that the black Drain Valve (located to the left or right of the front access panel) is closed.
    IMPORTANT : Follow the next steps closely to prevent damage to the Spa Pump.
    Filter Type: Glacier Microban Filter Set SKU: KA-10082CANADIAN SPA
TP500 Montreal UV Spa Hot Tub - Microban Filter

  7. Insert garden hose or other clean water source directly into filter housing. Push hose pipe into filter housing until it  stops. Fill up to top of the honeycomb grill of the skimmer (see photo above). Secure hose placement and turn on water.
    Filling the spa through the filter housing prevents an air lock from occurring in the spa pump, which is an air pocket preventing the flow of water through the pump. Permanent damage caused by running the pump with an air lock (or without water) is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.

  8. Check for leaks! Although spas are fully checked at the factory, shipping and delivery might cause a leak.

  9. Before power is applied familiarise yourself with the spa control operations.

  10. Turn water off and remove hose.

  11. Reinstall filter cartridge, basket and filter lid.

  12. Add start-up Chemicals after power is turned on.

Draining your Spa/Using drain valve

IMPORTANT : Before draining your spa shut off the electrical breaker connected to the spa.

Installation : Direct wire electrical power requirements

Power connections

Single Phase (A) is the normal wiring configuration for most household electrical installations (3 wires: live, neutral and earth). If however you have insufficient Amps you will need to use other connection (see below).
Single Phase connection (B) is used in circumstances where the power supply is limited and where you need more Amps.
Phase (C) is used in certain areas of Europe where 3 Phase power is available and the installation warrants it.
NOTE : Canadian Spa Company requires that the electrical installation of your hot tub is carried out by a professionally licensed electrician and that all local electrical and building codes are adhered to, unless Plug & Play models.

CONNECTING HOT TUB TO RCD AND CONSUMER PANEL:

  • All hot tubs must be wired with the appropriate sized wiring. Failure to do so will cause equipment damage and will not be covered by your warranty
  • All hot tubs must be protected with a appropriately sized RCD (Residual Current Device) in the consumer panel. Have your electrician verify using the diagram opposite.

POWERING UP YOUR SPA

Once the spa is properly wired and filled with water, the spa power can be turned on and Start-up chemicals added.

  1. Turn on RCD breaker. If breaker trips immediately check Neutral and Ground Wire connections. Upon initial power up, 4 sets of numbers flash on the LED display of the topside Console. The last number in the sequence is the incoming power meter which can be used to verify that the spa is wired correctly.

  2. The spa begins an automatic priming routine which will last 6 minutes (“Pr” is on the LED display).

  3. The priming routine will automatically run each spa pump to prime. When the “Pr” is displayed, press any PUMP button to prime that pump or wait for the priming routine to turn on the Pump. IMPORTANT: To avoid pump damage, do not run pumps for more than 1 minute without moving water. If no water is moving, turn the power off and perform air lock procedure.

  4. The Topside Console display flashes “38C/100F” then press “–C/F” for approximately 2 minutes to determine water temperature as it flows through the heater.

  5. The default pre-set temperature is 36.5°C. The last measured temperature is constantly displayed on the LCD readout. This temperature will be current only when the pump has been running for at least 2 minutes. Set the desired temperature between 26- 40°C (80-104°F) by pressing the temp button(s).
    If the water temperature is below the set temperature, the spa’sheater and heat indicator light will turn on. All features of  the Topside Console will be available. The spa will heat approximately 1° every 30 minutes per 1,000 litres.

  6. Check for leaks! Although spas are fully checked at the factory, shipping & delivery might cause a leak. Remember to pay
    particular attention to barrel unions adjoining the heater.
    Contact your Canadian Spa dealer directly if there is a problem.
    If your new spa pump does not prime (flow) on the initial start-up you may be experiencing an “air lock”.
    This normal occurrence can be easily corrected by loosening the plumbing union on the suction side of the Jet or Pump until water flows into the pump and all air is expelled.

Spa Functions

Pumps
Press the “Jets 1” button once to turn pump 1 on or off, and to shift between low- and high-speeds if equipped. If left running, the pump will turn off after a time-out period. The pump 1 low-speed will time out after 30 minutes. The high-speed will time out after 15 minutes.
The low-speed of pump 1 runs when the other pump is on. If the spa is in Ready Mode, Pump 1 low may also activate for at least 1 minute every 30 minutes to detect the spa temperature (polling) and then to heat to the set temperature if
needed.
When the low-speed turns on automatically, it cannot be deactivated from the panel, however the high speed may be started.
Filtration and Ozone
Pump 1 low and the ozone generator will run during filtration.
The system is factory-programmed with two filter cycles that will run 10 minutes after power-up. The filter duration is programmable.
Freeze Protection
If the temperature sensors within the heater detect a low enough temperature, then the pump automatically activate to provide freeze protection. The pump will run either continuously or periodically depending on conditions.
In colder climates, an optional additional freeze sensor may be added to protect against freeze conditions that may not be sensed by the standard sensors. Auxiliary freeze sensor protection acts similarly except with the temperature thresholds determined by the switch. See your dealer for details.
Clean-up Cycle
When a pump is turned on by a button press, a clean-up cycle begins 30 minutes after the pump is turned off or times out.
The pump and the ozone generator will run for 30 minutes or more, depending on the system.
Temperature and Temp Range
Adjusting the Set Temperature
When using a panel with Up and Down buttons (Temperature buttons), pressing Up or Down will cause the temperature to flash. Pressing a temperature button again will adjust the set temperature in the direction indicated on the button. When the LCD stops flashing, the spa will heat to the new set temperature when required.

TEMPERATURE UP
TEMPERATURE DOWN

Pressing the button again will cause the temperature to change in one direction (e.g. UP). After allowing the display to stop fl ashing, pressing the Temperature Button will cause the temperature to flash and the next press will change the temperature in the opposite direction (e.g. DOWN).
The temperature can be set between 16°C and 40°C (60°F and 104°F).
Press-and-Hold
If a Temperature button is pressed and held when the temperature is flashing, the temperature will continue to change until the button is released. If only one temperature button is available and the limit of the Temperature Range is reached when the button is being held, the progression will reverse direction.
LIGHTS
Press light button to turn on and off the lights.
Each consecutive press will alternate through different lighting modes and colours.

  • Once water comes out tighten the valve back up, pump has been bled of the trapped air

If your new spa pump does not prime (flow) on the initial start-up you may be experiencing an “air lock”.
This normal occurrence can be easily corrected by loosening the plumbing union on the suction side of the Jet or Pump until water flows into the pump and all air is expelled.

Chlorine Granules – Disinfection
To protect your health, ensure that your spa water is disinfected thoroughly on a regular basis. This is particularly important in spas, as the high water temperatures provide an ideal breeding ground for bacteria. To prevent water care problems, there must always be sufficient levels of disinfectant in the water.
The use of Chlorine granules is the traditional method of disinfecting spas. Chlorine granules dissolve quickly, without residues, and do not bleach the surfaces. The granules are pH-neutral, i.e. the pH value of the water does not change with the dosing of the granules.
Check the pH value using the 3 function test strips at least once a week, and, if necessary, adjust it to 7.2 – 7.6. Add 10 g/m³ of Chlorine granules after each bathing session. Let the circulation pump run for 10 minutes, and then check afterwards using 3 function test strips that the ideal value of 1.0 – 1.5 ppm (mg/L). is reached. If necessary, continue to dose. The granules are dosed directly into hot tub water. K A-10123

pH Up and pH Down
The pH value is the basis for reliable disinfection. The care products only work perfectly when the levels are correct, meaning the water is not harmful to skin, hair or eyes. The ideal pH value is between 7.2 and 7.6. The pH value is influenced by various factors. For example it increases when fresh water is added. Increasing the water temperature or using the jets changes the pH value. Therefore, check the value at least once a week and, if necessary, increase the levels using pH Up or decrease with pH Down. The granules are dosed directly into
the spa water.
pH Up: KA-10051 / pH Down: KA-10050 Foam Free
If your spa water has a tendency to foam, then we recommend you add Foam Free. The product is added directly to the spa water. If the water continues to foam, even after the product has been added, replace the water.
K A-10054

Scale Control
The overall hardness is a measure of the amount of calcium and magnesium in the water. Scale Control prevents calcium precipitations forming on the walls and in the pipes of your spa. Youcan find out the overall hardness level of your water by contacting your local water supplier. With a level over 200 ppm (mg/L)., heating the water can cause lime-scale deposits on the walls, creating rough surfaces. To prevent lime-scale deposits, always use Scale Control after refilling.
K A-10055 Alkalinity Booster
Alkalinity booster will prevent erratic changes in the pH level of the spa/hot tub water. Alkalinity Booster will help the bromine or chlorine in the spa/hot tub work more efficiently. Alkalinity Booster raises the total alkalinity of the spa/ hot tub water preventing any corrosion that could be cause by low alkalinity.
K A-10146

Test strips
Canadian Spa 3 Way Test strips to check the levels of Chlorine, PH and Total Alkalinity. Simple and easy to use. Ensure your spa is always safe to use.
Pack of 50 strips. Dip a test strip into the water and compare to the colour chart to take readings for: – Chlorine, pH, Total Alkalinity.
TIP : Chlorine and pH should be checked EVERY TIME the spa is used to ensure that the water is safe to use! Go to App, put in your test results and it will tell you what to add and how much.

Fill it up!

Preparation and Filling
Fill the spa to its correct operating level. Be sure to open all valves and jets in the plumbing system before filling to allow as much air as possible to escape from the plumbing and the control system during the filling process.
After turning the power on at the main power panel, the top-side panel display will go through specific sequences. These sequences are normal and display a variety of information regarding the configuration of the hot tub control.
**Priming Mode – MO19***
This mode will last for 4-5 minutes or you can manually exit the priming mode after the pump(s) have primed.

Regardless of whether the priming mode ends automatically or you manually exit the priming mode, the system will automatically starts normal heating and filtering at the end of the priming mode. During the priming mode, the heater is
disabled to allow the priming process to be completed without the possibility of energizing the heater under low-flow or no-flow conditions. Nothing comes on automatically, but the pump can be energized by pushing the “Jets” or “Aux” buttons.
Priming the Pump
As soon as the above display appears on the panel, push the “Jets” button once to start the Pump in low-speed and then again to switch to high-speed. will now be running in high-speed to facilitate priming. If the pump has not primed after 2 minutes, and water is not flowing from the jets in the spa, do not allow the pump to continue to run. Turn off the pump and repeat the process.
Note : Turning the power off and back on again will initiate a new pump priming session. Sometimes momentarily turning the pump off and on will help it to prime. Do not do this more than 5 times. If the pump will not prime, shut off the power to the spa and call for service.
Important: A pump should not be allowed to run without priming for more than 2 minutes. Under NO circumstances should a pump be allowed to run without priming beyond the end of the 4-5 minute priming mode. Doing so may cause damage to the pump and cause the system to energize the heater and go into an overheat condition.
Exiting Priming Mode
You can manually exit Priming Mode by pressing the “Warm” or “Cool” button. Note that if you do not manually exit the priming mode as described above, the priming mode will be automatically terminated after 4-5 minutes. Be sure that the pump have been primed by this time. Once the system has exited Priming Mode, the top-side panel will momentarily display the set temperature but the display will not show the water temperature yet, as shown below.

This is because the system requires approximately 1 minute of water flowing through the heater to determine the water temperature and display it.

CANADIAN SPA TP500 Montreal UV Spa Hot Tub - icon6Power-up Screens
Each time the System powers up, a series of numbers is displayed.
After the startup sequence of numbers, the system will enter Priming Mode (See Page 3).

Ready Mode and Rest Mode

In order for the spa to heat, a pump needs to circulate water through the heater. The pump that performs this function is known as the “primary pump.”
Primary pump is a 2-Speed Pump 1, Ready Mode (indicated by R ) will circulate water periodically, using Pump 1 Low, in order to maintain a constant water temperature, heat as needed, and refresh the temperature display.
This is known as “polling.”
Rest Mode (indicated by R ) will only allow heating during programmed filter cycles. Since polling does not occur, the temperature display may not show a current temperature until the primary pump has been running for a minute or two.
In Rest Mode, the spa will only heat to set temperature during programmed filter times.
