User’s Guide INSTALLATION SITE PREPARATION 1. Structure: Your spa should always be installed on a structurally sound, relatively smooth, and level surface. 2. Electrical: Your spa should be connected to a grounded outlet within eight feet of the spa. For 120 V units, there should be easy access to the plug for periodic testing of the cord mounted GFCI. 3. Bonding: A copper wire connector is located inside the spa power pack to permit connection of a minimum No. 8 A.W.G. (No.
Comfort Line Products OUTDOOR INSTALLATION Your spa may be installed on any level, smooth surface that is strong enough to support the filled unit. Observe the following considerations when deciding where to place your spa: 1. Make sure there are no sharp objects under the spa. 2. Do not install the spa on grass or dirt, as this will greatly increase the amount of debris entering the spa.

User’s Guide 6. When installing the caps on the inflation fittings, make sure the sealing flaps on the fittings are not pulled out through the inflation fittings. This will prevent the flaps from sealing properly, and may damage the inflation fittings. 7. Check the fit of the nylon outer cover on the spa. The openings in the side of the nylon skin should be centered on the power pack connections. If not, let some air out of the side tubes and adjust the nylon skin to center the power pack fittings in the openings.
Comfort Line Products 10. Line up the water connections on the back of the power pack with the fittings on the side of the spa. 11. Remove the two labels from the bottom, large fitting of the spa. Make sure the oring inside the fitting is in place. 12. Attach the bottom, large fitting on the back of the power pack to the corresponding fitting on the spa, being careful not to cross-thread the fitting. Make sure the o-ring inside the fitting is properly seated. Tighten the nut handtight. 13.
User’s Guide 15. Wrap the five inch wide vinyl power pack connector cover around all three connections between the power pack and the spa. FILLING THE SPA 1. Ensure the power pack is not plugged in. 2. Remove the protective caps from the suction and discharge fittings inside the spa. Place the caps in a safe location. 3. Using a garden hose, fill the spa to approximately one inch above the top of the second air chamber ring. Be careful not to over fill the spa, or the spa may overflow during use.
Comfort Line Products Plug the spa into a properly grounded electrical outlet. 5. Plug the power pack into the electrical outlet. The water pump will turn on and begin pumping water. Water should flow from the small return nozzle on the bottom inside wall of the spa behind the power pack. If water is not flowing from the return nozzle, repeat the air bleeding instructions provided in step 4. Unplug the power pack while bleeding air.
User’s Guide 8. Connect the eight clips to secure the cover in place. The clips may be locked using the small keys provided in the patch kit.
Comfort Line Products OPERATION • Test the GFCI before each use. (Refer to the instructions provided in the Maintenance section of this manual.) • Plug into properly grounded receptacle. • Do not use extension cords. Temperature Control 1. During normal operation, the control display on the top of the power pack displays the current water temperature. 2. To set the desired water temperature, press and release the up or down heat button. The display will flash the desired water temperature set point.
User’s Guide Turbo Operation To turn the turbo wave pump on or off, push the on/off button. Look to see if the spa blows bubbles uniformly all the way around the spa. If action seems to fade as bubbles circle the spa and are weak on one side, then the lower air chamber is over-inflated. Let some air out of the lower chamber to correct this. The turbo wave pump will automatically shut off after 15 minutes of operation.
Comfort Line Products MAINTENANCE Vinyl Care - Interior 1. While the spa is empty, clean the spa interior with a mild soap solution to remove any soil or stains on the vinyl. Rinse thoroughly before refilling the spa. Do not use cleaning aids such as steel wool, metal brushes, or abrasive cleansers such as Comet or Ajax. 2. Remove and clean the filter twice a month, or more often if necessary. Vinyl Care - Exterior Clean the exterior with a mild soap solution then rinse with clean water.
User’s Guide Avoid punching too many holes in the bromine feeder, as this could cause over bromination. This could bleach the vinyl, and will void your warranty. If the bromine level in the spa reaches 5 ppm or higher, remove the bromine feeder from the spa until the bromine level drops to the correct 2-3 ppm range. Adding Chemicals 1. Always activate the turbo wave blower when adding chemicals to the spa. Add only one chemical at a time.
Comfort Line Products Cleaning the Filter 1. Unplug the power pack from the electrical outlet. 2. Using the three caps provided, cap the suction and discharge fittings on the inside of the spa. 3. Open the air bleed fitting on the top of the filter tank. 4. Unscrew the retainer ring from the filter housing and remove the filter housing cover. 5. Lift the filter out of the filter housing. Clean the filter with the spray from a high pressure garden hose. 6. Place the filter back in the filter housing.
User’s Guide Winterizing and Vacationing If you are taking a vacation or leaving your spa unused for more than a week, you should take a few simple precautions. Leave the spa covered with the plastic clips locked. Leave the turbo wave pump off and set the temperature set point low. This will allow the water pump and heaters to turn on occasionally to filter the water and protect it from freezing. Upon returning, and before using the spa, check the bromine and pH levels.
Comfort Line Products GFCI (120 volt units only) The GFCI, or Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt, fitting on the power pack electrical cord should be tested monthly. There are no user serviceable parts inside the GFCI. Do not open the GFCI as this will void your warranty. To test the GFCI, use the following procedure. If the GFCI device does not function properly, do not use your spa. Call the dealer or factory immediately for instructions. Do not bypass the GFCI device. 1. Turn on the turbo wave blower. 2.
User’s Guide SERVICE AND TROUBLESHOOTING Your spa was designed to minimize service requirements. If you encounter problems with your spa carefully go through the following steps. Air Pump Blower 1. Turbo wave pump will not turn on: A. Make sure the power pack is plugged into the electrical outlet, and that there is power to the outlet. Plug another electrical item into the outlet such as a hair dryer or lamp. If you do not have power, check the breakers at the main electrical panel. B.
Comfort Line Products No Heat 1. Dirty filter: Clean the filter per the instructions provided in the Maintenance section of this manual. If the filter is more than two months old, replace it. After cleaning or replacing the filter, cover the spa, turn the temperature set point all the way up, and leave the spa for 24 hours. If the spa still will not heat, contact the manufacturer for instructions. 2. No circulation, water pump air bound: Unplug the power pack from the electrical outlet.
User’s Guide Leaks 1. The two small connections between the power pack and the spa are leaking: Ensure the garden hose style washer inside each of these fittings is still in place and undamaged. If the washers are in place and the connection is still leaking, there may be a small piece of plastic behind the hose washer. Remove the small piece of plastic with a utility knife or needle-nose pliers. 2.
