Pre-Delivery Information
-
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. Once filled, the spa
cannot be moved without draining.
Follow these filling instructions to avoid damage to the spa pumps
-

Accessing your spa controls
Installation: 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). 2
Single Phase connection (B) is used in circumstances where the power supply is
limited and where you need more Amps. 3 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.
Single Phase connection (Most common):
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.
-
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.
-
The spa begins an automatic priming routine which will last 6 minutes (“Pr” is on the LED display).
-
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. -
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.
-
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’s heater 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. -
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.
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.

Chemical Guide
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 afterward 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. KA-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
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. You can 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

Troubleshooting
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 overheating 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.
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.
Water Temperature Setting
Show and Set Time-of-Day
Be sure to set the time of day
Setting the time of day can be important for determining filtration times and
other background features. When in the TIME menu, SET TIME will flash on the
display if no time-of-day is set in the memory.
24-hour time display can be set under the PREF menu.
Note
This note refers to systems that do not keep track of Time-of-Day when powered
down.
If power is interrupted to such a system, Time-of-Day is not stored. The
system will still operate and all other user settings will be stored. If
filter cycles are required to run at a particular time of day, resetting the
clock will return the filter times to the actual programmed periods.
When such a system starts up, it defaults to 12:00 Noon, so another way to get filter times back to normal is to start up the spa at noon on any given day. SET TIME will still flash in the TIME Menu until the time is actually set, but since the spa started at noon, the filter cycles will run as programmed.
Flip (Invert Display)
Restricting Operation
- The control can be restricted to prevent unwanted use or temperature adjustments. Locking the panel prevents the controller from being used, but all automatic functions are still active.
- Locking the Temperature allows Jets and other features to be used, but the Set Temperature and other programmed settings cannot be adjusted.
- Temperature Lock allows access to a reduced selection of menu items. These include Set Temperature, FLIP, LOCK, UTIL, INFO and FALT LOG.
Unlocking
This Unlock sequence may be used from any screen that may be displayed on a restricted panel. If the panel has both an UP and a Down button, the ONLY button that will work in the Unlock Sequence is the UP button. The temperature will not Unlock if the Unlock sequence is done while the panel is displaying “LOCK”.
Light Timer Programming
Light Timer Option
If LITE TIMR does not appear in the Main Menu, the Light Timer feature is not
enabled by the manufacturer.
When available, the Light Timer is OFF by default.
Adjusting Filtration
Main Filtration
Filter cycles are set using a start time and a duration. Start time is
indicated by an “A” or “P” in the bottom right corner of the display. Duration
has no “A” or “P” indication. Each setting can be adjusted in 15-minute
increments. The panel calculates the end time and displays it automatically.
Filter Cycle 2
Optional Filtration
Filter Cycle 2 is OFF by default.
It is possible to overlap Filter Cycle 1 and Filter Cycle 2, which will
shorten overall filtration by the overlap amount.
Purge Cycles
In order to maintain sanitary conditions, the pump will purge water from their
respective plumbing by running briefly at the beginning of each filter cycle.
If Filter Cycle 1 is set for 24 hours, enabling Filter Cycle 2 will initiate a
purge when Filter Cycle 2 is programmed to begin.
Hold Mode – MO37
Hold Mode is used to disable the pump during service functions like cleaning
or replacing the filter. Hold Mode will last for 1 hour unless the mode is
exited manually.
Drain Mode
Some spas have a special feature that allows a pump to be employed when
draining the water. When available, this feature is a component of Hold Mode.
Drain Mode will time out with Hold Mode.
Preferences
F / C (Temp Display)
-
Change the temperature between Fahrenheit and Celsius.
12 / 24 (Time Display) (Not used in Simple Mode) -
Change the clock between 12 hr and 24 hr display.
RE-MIN-DERS (Reminders)
Turn the display of reminder messages (like “Clean Filter”) On or Off.
Note: Reminders continue to run in the background even when not displayed. So
turning the display of Reminders On or Off does not reset any Reminder counts.
CLN-UP (Clean-up)
Clean-up Cycle Duration is not always enabled, so it may not appear. When it
is available, set the length of time Pump 1 will run after each use. 0-4 hours
are available.
