Read
- Locate Spa on a level surface that will support 3,000 lbs.
- Fill Spa to cover top jets.
- Remove front panel, and remove the cord. Place through the slot on the access panel. Replace panel.
- Plug the G.F.I. cord into a 20 amp Dedicated 110-volt circuit receptacle.
- Avoid using extension cords.
- To heat Spa, set to the desired temperature and close the covers, initial warm up time will 24 to 48 hours or more depending on conditions, on a 110v line. For a four hour approximate heat up time, have an electrician convert the Spa Pack to 220V.
- Do not unplug the Spa as there is a daily automatic 2 hour filter cycle. The spa will automatically maintain set temperature as required.
- Jets can be turned off individually. After Spa use, be sure most jets are open for good filtration and heating.
- 2 valves on the Spa top are to put air bubbles to the jets.
-
It is important that your new Spa be installed on a Solid, Flat, and Level Surface that is engineered to carry a load of 75 pounds per square feet. The proper site of your New Spa is in an area that is Not Accessible to Children. Security or Pool Yard gates should be in place to separate Children from the Spa. Spas should not be placed near or below Electrical or telephone cables. If there is not a dedicated 120 Volt receptacle within the 10 feet of your Spa,contact a Licensed Electrician to supply power near the Spa. A GFCI Power Cord is supplied with all models. The GFCI power Cord must be tested each use to insure proper operation. To test, simply depress the button marked “TEST” on the GFCI Unit, the unit should stop operating and the reset button should appear. Push the reset button. The unit should now operate normally. If the interrupter does not perform in this manner, a ground current is following indicating the possibility of electric shock. Disconnect the power until the fault has been identified and corrected.
-
Filling Your Spa
Check that your Spa’s drain valve (located behind the Spas drain cover) is closed. With the electrical breaker in the OFF position and/or the power cord un-plugged, fill to an approximate water level 0f 2″ above the top of the highest jet. Once the Spa is filled, power can then be supplied to your Spa. The Spa’s heater will begin heating to the temperature selected on your control panel. (See Spa Controller Instructions Attached) -
Draining Your Spa
Unplug the Spa’s electrical power supply. The Spa must remain unplugged until re-filled with water. Remove the cap from the Spa’s Drain hose and connect standard garden hose. Place the opposite end of the garden hose in the drainage area and open the Spa’s drain valve. -
Adjusting Massage Jets
To adjust for direction, rotate the “eyeball” of the jet in the desired direction. To adjust for flow, turn the outer knob clockwise to increase flow and counter clockwise to decrease flow. Do Not fully decrease flow to all of the jets at the same time. This may cause your pump to malfunction and ultimately fail. -
Air Adjustment
To introduce air into your Massage Jets, Turn the Air Adjustment Dials (located on the Spa’s top edge). Adjust the same as with the Massage Jets, clockwise to increase flow and counterclockwise to decrease flow. -
Suction Fitting
Keep the suction fitting (located in the foot well area) of the Spa unobstructed and free from debris at all times. Do not remove the suction- fitting screen while the Spa is connected to electrical power.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY
- The water in the spa or hot tub should never exceed 40° C (104° F). Water temperatures between 38° C (100° F) and 40° C (104° F) are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended for extended use (exceeding 15-20 minutes) and for younger children.
- Since excessive water temperature have a high potential for causing fetal damage, during the early months of pregnancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit spa or hot tub temperatures to 30° C (100° F).
- Before entering a spa or hot tub, the user should measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of temperature regulating devises may vary as much as plus or minus 3° C (5° F).
- The use of alcohol, drugs or medication before or during spa or hot tub use may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
- Persons suffering from obesity or with a medical history of heart disease low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes should consult a physician before using a spa or hot tub.
- Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a spa or hot tub since some medication may induce drowsiness while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.
Care and Maintenance Instructions
-
Cleaning the Filter Cartridge
- Disconnect power
- Remove the Filter Cover
- Remove the Filter Cartridge by pulling straight up

-
Water Chemistry
Read and Understand the Spa Chemistry Guidelines supplied by your dealer or chemical supplier. Some general guidelines and tips are listed on next page. It is Un-healthful to use your Spa when the water is not in proper Chemical Balance. -
Warning
Do not use Calcium Hypochlorites or Trichlors. Doing so may cause corrosion to your pump that will not be covered by your Spa’s Warranty -
Winterizing
If the Spa is to be transported or stored in temperatures 32º F (0º C) or lower, it is critical that the Spa be fully winterized.- The Spa must be fully emptied
- The drain valve must remain in the open position
- The drain valve cap removed and stored
- The Filter Cartridge Element must be removed, dried and stored
- Remove the plug bottom of the pump housing.
-
Cleaning your hot tub
- Drain your spa water every 3 to 4 months, depending on use.
- The filter should be cleaned every month or more frequently for high bather loads. Soak overnight in filter cartridge cleaner and rinse well before replacing in spa.
- Refill spa with fresh water to the recommended level. The water line should cover all the upper jets in the spa.
-
Initial treatment to freshwater
-
Once the temperature of your hot tub reaches about 80º Fahrenheit (30º Celsius), you can start adding chemicals. Warm water will allow any granular chemicals to dissolve properly.
-
Test and adjust the pH of the water to 7.6 – 8.2 by adding either a capful of pH-up or pH-down (add pH up if the pH tests low and vice versa). Allow the water to filter for 30 minutes before retesting the pH.
-
Add 1 capful of a stain and scale control and 1 capful of spa water clarifier. Adding 2 ounces of an enzyme-based product will clarify the water and also reduce scum-lines and odors caused by body oils and cosmetic products.
-
Test and adjust the alkalinity of the water to 100. Add an alkalinity increaser to raise the alkalinity of the water or add a de-creaser to lower the alkalinity.
-
Sanitizing the spa water – Use an appropriate amount of Bromine/Chlorine (See instructions on the container or consult with your pool supply professional).
-
If you are new to water maintenance, test your spa water with test strips daily to ensure you have a proper sanitizer level. If you are using an Ozone device, you can keep the bromine/chlorine level at the low end of ‘ideal’ on your test kit scale. You will find that your spa will use less of your sanitizer because the ozone is killing some of the bacteria.
-
Weekly maintenance
- Test water for bromine/chlorine, pH and alkalinity.
- Adjust pH to 7.6 – 8.2 and alkalinity to 100.
- Add 1 capful of stain and scale control and 1 ounce of a spa clarifier
- Repeat sanitation as in the “initial treatment” (add bromine/chlorine as needed).
- Rinse off the filter cartridge with fresh water. Soak the filter in cartridge cleaner monthly or more frequently if you have a large bather load.
