COMPONENT OPERATION
SPA COMPONENT OPERATION
AIR CONTROL VALVE
The air control valve serves to regulate the amount of air mixed with the water when the jets
are operational. Rotate all the air control valves counterclockwise and observe the increased jet
action. Rotating the air control in the opposite direction to turn air off and allow the jets to work
with water only. Turn the air controls off when the spa is not in use, this will prevent cold air from
entering the spa and will keep heating cost to a minimum. The ozone generator infusion jet, will
always produce air bubbles when pump is on.
DIVERTER VALVE (TRANSPORT™ MODEL ONLY)
The diverter valve on your spa allows you to direct the flow of water from the pump to one of two
combinations of jets. The function of the diverter valve can best be learned by experimentation.
Turn the large valve all the way to one side or the other to see which jets are on.
WHIRLPOOL JET (NEWPORTER MODEL ONLY)
The Whirlpool Jet is located below the water line at or near the control panel area, in the wall.
This jet is a diverter valve and high capacity jet that has a larger diameter than the hydrotherapy
jets. The whirlpool jet is turned on and off by rotating the jet face. Because, there is a substantial
amount of water pressure when the jet is in operation, you must turn the pump off or to low speed
before attempting to rotate the jet face. As the whirlpool jet open position is increased it will begin
turning off all of the hydrotherapy jets. One of the two air control valves is dedicated to the this jet.
HYDROTHERAPY JETS
The hydrotherapy jets are recessed in the wall of the spa. Rotate the medium jet faces counter-
clockwise to turn the jets on, clockwise to turn the jets off. Turning a jet on or off will increase or
decrease the effects of any jets “not” in the closed position.
LED MULTI-COLOR LIGHT (VERONA & TRANSPORT™ MODELS ONLY)
Your spa is installed with a LED multi-color light, pressing the light switch button on and off will
cause the light color to change to your desired color. If your spa is equipped with a standard 12V
light bulb you can purchase a multi-color light at www.AquaTerraspas.com.
OZONE GENERATOR (VERONA & TRANSPORT™ MODELS ONLY)
The ozone system greatly enhances the quality of the spa water when used to supplement
the spa owner’s regular water maintenance program. Contrary to some information circulated
throughout the pool and spa industry regarding ozone systems, ozone CAN NOT be used as
a single-source sanitizer, water clarifier, anti-foamer, and mineral chelating agent. A secondary
source sanitizer must be used to maintain 2.0 ppm (2.0 mg/L) of Free Available Chlorine (FAC).
Watkins Manufacturing Corporation recommends that a chemical maintenance program based on
recognized and documented industry standards still be followed when using an ozone purification
system to assure water sanitation and the highest quality purified water.
WATERFALL
Your spa has a control valve to operate the amount of flow through the waterfall from no flow to a
steady stream. This valve is located next to the waterfall.
Note: The air control valve and the waterfall flow valve may look and function exactly the same
and may operate in the same way, however; they will be separate components.
