1. Watch our WAVE videos
   We know you can’t wait to jump into your new Wave hot tub and get started, however before you do that, please check out our set-up videos for an easy step by step guide as to how to get started with your tub safely.

2. Read the manual
   Next up, please read the manual! This will save you a lot of time and hassle by explaining the process every step of the way. There is a lot of crucial information in here that will help avoid damage to your spa when setting up and taking down.

3. Choose your site
   Get your location right! First off make sure you are setting up your tub in an area where you have enough space surrounding the spa for you to comfortably perform your daily maintenance tasks. Secondly, ensure there is a power outlet nearby as extension cables should NOT be used. Thirdly, choose a site where you can drain the water easily! The site should be flat and completely free from sharp objects. The site where you choose to set up should also be strong enough to take the weight of your spa when it is fully filled and in use. The water capacity for 2-4-person spa is 176 gallon and 4-6 person is 220 gallon.
   The location in which you assemble and fill your spa must be the location you intend to use it, once the spa is full it is strongly advised against that you attempt to move it to another location. Doing so could cause injury to yourself or damage to your tub, which may result in voided warranty.

4. Open the box
   Once you have opened the box that contains your new spa you should remove its contents and spread the protective ground sheet on the site where your tub will be assembled. You should then assemble the heater unit and the rest of the tub. Once you are done with the packaging and box you should remove all debris and packaging parts from the tub area to ensure nothing falls in and damages the liner.

5. Inflate the spa
   Next step will be to inflate your spa! Connect the motor and heater system and once switched on, the spa can be inflated and ready to fill with water in about 5 minutes. You must NOT over inflate your spa.

6. Clean your spa
   After inflating your spa, use a wet sponge or soft cloth to gently wipe the internal surface of your spa liner. Even though your spa is brand new, this is to ensure that any debris or dust that could contaminate the water is fully removed.

7. Filter and filter housing
   After gently cleaning the internal liner of your new spa you should ensure that the filter and filter housing are fitted in the correct location (the lower port). Also ensure that the cap is not fitted on the upper port before filling with water.

8. Fill your spa with water
   Now you can fill your spa with water! When filling your spa, try to avoid using an old hose as these carry a lot of old bacteria that could contaminate the water. If you are filling your tub using cold water, you should carry on filling until you are mid-way between the min and max filling lines. If you have the ability to fill your spa with hot/warm water this will mean your spa will heat up quicker and be more energy efficient. If you are planning to fill your spa with hot water, please begin using cold water and once you the water has risen above the filter, hot water can then be used.

9. Heat your spa water
   Now to heat your spa! To do this you should press the heater button on the left side of your external unit (the sun symbol). A light will then be displayed and remain lit until the water has reached your selected temperature 100°F is the default temperature). Once the desired temperature is reached, the light will flash. Once the LCD display has flashed you will be able to adjust the water temperature using the up and down arrows to increase or decrease the temperature. It is possible for the water to be approximately 33-37°F different to the temperature selected.
   The water in your spa heats up approximately 33°F per hour whilst the heater unit is switched on. The indicator on the screen corresponds to the current water temperature. For health and safety reasons the maximum temperature setting on the heater unit is 104°F. You should make sure you have turned on the filtration system before you start heating the water. Put your hot tub cover on to help the water heat up faster and retain heat for longer.

10. Chemical shock
    Before you jump into your spa, you should first perform your spa chemical shock. When you set up your hot tub for the first time its always important to add your start up chemicals. You need to Performa hot tub shock to keep the water healthy and  prevent foaming or cloudiness. Treating your water prolongs its life such that you will not need to keep draining and cleaning your hot tub after each use. Our Wave starter kit contains everything you need to get your spa up and running!

11. Guide on chemical shock
    To chemical shock you should use either warm or cold water and when the water is higher than 77°F mix your chlorine (granules are better for shocking) in a jug with warm water. Put 5 teaspoons of granules into the jug of warm water and add this to the spa after mixing well. Activating the bubble settings whilst doing this will help to disperse the chlorine around the water quicker. After you have chlorinated your spa water, please leave the spa to sit for 24 hours before use. Remember to use your test strips before jumping into the spa as some levels may still need adjusting before use. Make sure alkalinity levels are right after checking the chlorine. pH can be altered as and when required.

12. Maintenance
    Regular maintenance of your tub is essential, especially keeping the correct pH levels! The most ideal pH level is between 7.2 to 7.6 and the level should be tested two times a week whilst the tub is filled, and always before use. A heaped teaspoon holds approximately 8g of granules and adding a teaspoon of chlorine everyday will keep your spa water clean and healthy.

13. Finish
    Now all that is left is for you to enjoy your new spa! For any further questions please check the FAQ’s on our website or contact a dedicated member of our customer service department using the live chat on our website www.us.wavespas.com.

When using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be follow, including the follow:

• (a) A green colour terminal or a terminal marked G, GR, Ground, Ground or the @ symbol is located inside the supply terminal box or compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this terminal must be connected to the grounding means provided in the electric supply service panel with a continuous copper wire equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying this equipment. *IEC Publication 417, symbol 5019.
• (b) At least two lugs marker “BINDING LUGS” are provided on the external surface or on the inside of the supply terminal box or compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect the local common bonding grid in the area of the hot tub or spa to these terminals with an insulated or bare copper conductor not smaller than No. 6 AWG.
• (c) All field – installed metal components such as rails, ladders, drains or other similar hardware within 3 m of the SPA of hot tub shall be bonded to the equipment grounding bus with copper conductors not smaller than No. 6 AWG.

1. WARNING – To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised all time.

2. A wire connector is provided on this unit to connect a minimum 8 AWG (8.4 mm2), 6 AWG (13.3mm2) solid copper conductor between this unit and any metal equipment, metal enclosures of electrical equipment, metal water pipe, or conduit within 5 feet (1.5m) of the unit.

3. DANGER – Risk of injury. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. Do not bury the electrical cord. Locate the core where it will not be damaged by lawn mowers, hedge trimmer and other equipment. Connect to a grounded, grounding type receptacle only.

4. WARNING – This product is provided with a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (on the wire near the plug). The GFCI must be tested before each use. With the product operating, open the service door. When the product stops operating, this merely indicates that the door is equipped with an electrical interlock. Next, push the test button on the GFCI and close the service door. The product should not operate. Now open the service door, push the reset button on the GFCI and close the service door. The product should now operate normally. When the product fails to operate in this manner, there is a ground current flowing indicating the possibility of electric shock. Disconnect the power until the fault has been identified and corrected.
