IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS To reduce the risk of drowning from hair and body entrapment, install suction fitting(s) with a marked flow rate that is not less than the flow rate marked on the remote packaged unit.(note: these are factory installed). Do not operate the tub with any of the suction fitting covers off. These covers are there to prevent hair or objects from being sucked into the plumbing. See Figure 1. IMPORTANT! READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
Warning: Any person with the following conditions should consult their Physician before using a hot tub. Diabetes, High blood pressure, Heart disease, Circulatory problems, Pregnant women or those taking medication prescribed by their Physician. Do not allow electrical devices to such as portable stereos, TVs, hair dryers within 5 feet/1.5 meters of the tub. Failure to do so could result in death due to electrocution should the device fall in the water.
3. Fill the hot tub to half way up the skimmer opening. Note: If your hot tub is Hush Pump equipped your level can be lowered to one third up the skimmer opening. This will allow for more displacement if the hot tub is subjected to use by more than the recommended amount of people for that model. See Figure 5. how many times a day the filter hours occur.

one pump to the front of the other pumps. There is also a 1 minute, low speed purge cycle that happens at the start of each filter cycle. Note: If refilling your hot tub during winter, most source water is colder than 50ºF / 10ºC. This means your freeze protection will activate as soon as the system is turned on. On 700 Series hot tubs, we recommend that you do not use the economy setting during freezing weather.
HOT TUB OPERATION TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Problem Symptom Control panel display is alternating between FL or FLO and the water temperature. The pump is running.
