Hyperthermia Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above the normal body temperature of 99°F. The symptoms of hyperthermia include drowsiness, lethargy, and an increase in the internal temperature of the body.
Placement of your Apollo spa. Your spa must be properly situated and supported to ensure longevity of the cabinet, acrylic shell, and its components. It is mandatory that your spa sit on a flat, hard, unitized surface that is level to within one inch over 8 feet of a slope. Hard and unitized means that the surface must be a stable, tied together platform that will withstand the rigors of use and your local climate extremes. Examples of the above would be: a 3.

Electrical Specifications WARNING! All electrical hookups must be performed by a licensed electrician! There is a shock hazard. DO NOT PROCEED with connecting this spa unless you are a licensed electrician. Any and all information contained herein is for reference only. IMPORTANT CONNECTIONS: Neutral of the GFCI must be connected to the neutral bus. Sub Panel Wiring Diagram Example Neutral from the spa must be connected to the breaker.
Start-Up Instructions Once the spa is placed on a solid foundation and supplied with power, the spa should be filled and prepared for use. For the best results, read each step completely before proceeding with the following steps. 1. Prepare the spa for filling. Clear all the debris from the inside of the tub. Wipe off and clean the acrylic with a wet towel to remove dust. Remove the service door and tighten all the hand unions at the pump(s) and heater.
3. Turn on the power. Engage the breaker at the main panel, and then the GFCI sub panel and other switching devices installed by your electrician. If wired correctly, the control panel will blink, showing the current water temperate. At this time you should also see water movement through jets, if not you may have an air lock in the pump. The quickest way to rid an air lock is to turn power off, then locate pump one and loosen the top union to let the air bleed out.
Note: Having a hardcover on whenever the spa is not in use will greatly reduce the cost of operating the spa. When the spa is not in use, the cover must be in place at all times. This reduces the risk of thermal distress. This is caused by leaving the spa uncovered in the sunlight. Which allows the spa to absorb the heat, causing damage to the surface of the spa. This form of damage is not covered under your Limited Warranty.
Filtration System Apollo Spas are equipped with balanced filtration, meaning that the filter cartridges are sized to meet the needs of the pump system. As with any water filtration system, the filter cartridge may become clogged, resulting in reduced water flow. It is important to maintain a clean, un-obstructed filter system.
Care of the Spa Shell Your Apollo Spas has a fiberglass reinforced, cast acrylic shell. Stains and dirt generally will not adhere to your spa’s surface. A soft cloth or sponge should easily remove most dirt. Most household chemicals are harmful to your spa’s shell. Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) or vinegar can also be used for minor surface cleaning. Always thoroughly rinse off any spa shell cleaning agent with fresh water. Service Notes: 1.

Water Maintenance It’s important to have clean water. Water maintenance is one of the least understood, but very important areas of spa ownership. Your dealer can guide you through the process of achieving and maintaining perfect water in your spa, given your local conditions. Your program will depend on your water’s mineral content, how often you use your spa, and how many people use it. Here is our suggested step-by-step program: General Information There are three fundamental areas of water maintenance.
Basic Chemical Safety When using chemicals, read the labels carefully and follow directions precisely. Though chemicals protect you and your spa when used correctly, they can be hazardous in concentrated form. Always observe the following guidelines: • ALWAYS KEEP CHEMICALS OUT OF CHILDREN’S REACH. • NEVER MIX CONCENTRATED CHEMICALS TOGETHER. • ALWAYS THOROUGHLY RINSE ANY CONTAINER USED TO MIX CHEMICALS AFTER USE. • ALWAYS RINSE OUT ANY EMPTY CHEMICAL STORAGE CONTAINER BEFORE DISPOSAL.
Using Chlorine System Start-Up: 1. Let water reach 90°F. 2. Add 1 tablespoons (14 grams) of Apollo Spas Chlorinating Granules per 200 gallons of water. 3. Add 1 tablespoon (14 grams) of Spa Oxidizing Shock per 200 gallons of water. 4. Wait 24 hours and then test and balance Alkalinity and pH levels of the water using Alkalinity Increaser, pH Up or pH Down respectively. Note: Have jets on high speed for 1-2 minutes when adding chemicals to mix the chemicals through the water more effectively.

Troubleshooting Spa Problems 1. Nothing functions: The GFCI Breaker has tripped or there is a power failure. Test GFCI Breaker. Turn breaker back on and see if spa powers up, if not contact your factory authorized dealer. 2. Spa does not heat: Check to see if the heat indicator is on or there are any error messages on the topside control panel. If the heat indicator is on and no error message appears contact your factory authorized dealer. 3.
