settings will be preserved until next power up.
Hr
An internal hardware error has been detected
in in.xe
Contact dealer or service supplier.
HL
The system has shut the heater down because
the temperature at the heater has reached
119°F (48°C).
DO NOT ENTER THE WATER. Remove the spa cover
and allow the water to cool. Once the heater has cooled,
reset by pushing any button. If the spa does not reset, shut
off the power to the spa and call your dealer or service
organization.
AOH
Temperature inside the spa cabinet is too
high, causing the internal temperature in the
in.xe to increase above normal limits.
Open the cabinet panel (located below the in.k200 topside
control on most models) and wait until error clears.
FLO
The system does not detect any water flow
while the primary pump is running.
Check and open water valves. Check for water level.
Clean filter. If the problem persists, call your dealer or
service supplier.
Prr
A problem is detected with the temperature
probe.
Call your dealer or service supplier
OH
The water temperature in the spa has reached
108°F (42°C).
Do not enter the water! Remove the spa cover and allow
the water to cool down to a lower temperature. Call your
dealer or service supplier if problem persists.
Air Control
The air control knob is located next to the spa control
panel. Turning the knob counterclockwise will
increase the air flow to the hydrotherapy jets. Turning
the knob clockwise will decrease the air flow.
Spa Care and Maintenance
It is recommended to completely drain the spa at least
every other month. Otherwise, the water becomes
chemically "saturated" and no longer responds to
regular chemical upkeep. The spa should also be
drained before long periods of disuse, or for
equipment repair.
Optional Draining of the Water
Shut off the main breaker to your spa equipment
pack.
Simply siphon water from spa with garden hose.
A sump pump may be used to pump water from
spa.
Use a wet / dry to remove remaining water.
Refilling your Spa
1. Make sure the main breaker to your spa
equipment pack is shut off.
2. Fill spa with water using a garden hose.
3. Turn power back on, spa will automatically
start to run and heat water to set temperature.
Your Water Care Program
Before adding chemicals to your spa, do a full water
analysis with a test kit or ask your QCA Spa dealer to
conduct the water test for you.
Step 1: Always have the circulation system running
before adding any chemicals. As you fill your spa to
the level recommended by the manufacturer, add
cleaning agent to prevent mineral staining and to
protect equipment against scale and corrosion.
Circulate for one hour.
Step 2: "Balance" the water so that it is neither
alkaline (scale forming) nor acidic (corrosive).
Balanced spa water should be 7.2 - 7.8 on the pH
scale, with total alkalinity (the measure of the ability
of water to resist a
change in pH) in the range of 80-120 parts per million
(ppm).
A. If pH is lower than 7.2, add pH UP.
B. If pH is higher than 7.8, add pH DOWN.
C. If total alkalinity is below 80, add ALKALINITY
UP.
Step 3: Shock treat the water with non
