IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ

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 800L and 4-6 person is 1 OOOL.
   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. lnflate 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 (38° C 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 1-3° C different to the temperature selected.
   The water in your spa heats up approximately 1 ° C 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 40° C. 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 perform a 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 25° C 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. 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.wavespas.com.

To reduce the risk of injury

• Lower water temperatures are recommended for young children and when spa use exceeds 10 minutes.

In order to avoid the possibility of hyperthermia (heat stress) occurring it is recommended that the average temperature of spa water should not exceed 40°C (104° F).

• Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during the early months of pregnancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit spa water temperatures to 38°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 water temperature regulating devices varies.
• The use of alcohol, drugs or medication before or during spa use may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility or drowning.
• The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in spas.

The causes and symptoms of hyperthermia may be described as follows:
Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above the normal body temperature 37°C (98.6° F). The symptoms of hyperthermia include an increase in the internal temperature of the body, dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness, and fainting. The effect of hyperemia include failure to perceive heat; failure to recognize the need to exit spa; unawareness of impending hazard; fetal damage in pregnant women; physical inability to exit the spa; and unconsciousness resulting in the danger of drowning.

• Obese persons or persons with a history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problem, or diabetes should consult a physician before using a spa.

• Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a spa since some medication may induce drowsiness while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure and circulation.
