SECTION 2 Stay Safe And Enjoy Your Beachcomber Hot Tub It is our desire to have you enjoy the highest level of safety with your new Beachcomber Hot Tub. There are precautions you can take to make sure your family and friends enjoy a pleasurable soak every time. Take a few minutes to read and understand the following pages regarding safety.
A BEACHCOMBER HOT TUB OFFERS YOU MANY BENEFITS BODY MOLDED HAND GRIPS FOR SAFETY Your new Beachcomber Hot Tub offers you many benefits that you will discover in the months and years to come. One of them is Hydrotherapy. With the regular use of your hot tub, you can relieve aches and pains and enjoy the pleasure of total relaxation. We recommend that you use your Beachcomber Hot Tub for about 20 minutes every other day. Your hot tub has been molded from the factory with ergonomically designed hand grips.
THE CONVENIENCE OF DIGITAL CONTROLS HEATSHIELD COVER CHILD PROOF LOCKS Beachcomber’s “Energy Saver” controls transmit your command to the pump and motor with a tiny, electrical charge. This control panel is completely sealed by a tough, impenetrable plastic product called Lexan. Your hot tub may be equipped with a reversible display (Digital 3000) so that you can read it from in or out of the hot tub.
SUPERIOR COMFORT BODY MOLDS Not only is your Beachcomber Hot Tub comfortable, it is safe in another way - by having soft, body molded curves. You won’t find any hard, angular edges to bump your knees on. Every hot tub that goes through our design room is tested not only for durability, strength and performance, but also for ultimate comfort. BEACHCOMBER HOT TUB SAFETY TIPS It’s easy to remove or replace your filters with Beachcomber’s Microfilter.
This will eliminate the chance of hair entrapment by either the Microfilter or the suction fitting(s). Don’t forget that altering (apart from the service technician from your Beachcomber store) your hot tub could void your warranty. Never allow your children to submerge themselves in your hot tub. With the higher temperatures of the hot tub (100 F or 38 C), it is not recommended for your children (or yourself) to submerge deeper than your collarbone.
Avoid using your Beachcomber Hot Tub alone. Longer exposure could cause a condition called Hyperthermia (elevated body temperature). Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches several degrees above normal (98.6 F or 37 C). Symptoms include dizziness, fainting, drowsiness and lethargy (sluggishness). If you feel any of these symptoms, exit the hot tub immediately.
SECTION 3 How To Use And Maintain Your Beachcomber Hot Tub Follow these easy steps to get your hot tub up and running. Your dealer will come and start your hot tub with you, and walk you through its operations. And if you ever have a question or concern, you can call your local dealer for support, or call Beachcomber’s North American Customer Care line at 1.800.663.6557.
STARTING YOUR BEACHCOMBER HOT TUB After your hot tub is installed by a qualified installer, your Beachcomber dealer will come and start up your hot tub for you. But before they arrive at your home to do the “wet start” with you, you can fill your hot tub - it does not require special water - it is designed to be filled with water directly from your garden hose. sure the filters are in place in the microfilter / upfront system (See illustration on page 3 - 3).
DRAINING YOUR HOT TUB AIR BLEED NOZZLE Once the sputtering has stopped and a steady flow of water is coming out, close the air bleed valve (hand tighten only). Hand tighten any unions if needed, and visually check the equipment for drips. STEP 3: STARTING THE PUMP Switch the power at the main power supply panel to the “ON” position. Your pump will come on at a low speed automatically. You will hear some bubbling as air is forced out of the lines.
AFTER DRAINING IS COMPLETED BEACHCOMBER’S FILTRATION SYSTEM Remove the garden hose from the drain fitting. The knife valves should still be in the open position. This is your opportunity to care for your hot tub to maintain its appearance and cleanliness. Remove your filters and clean with Filter Pure / Cure (alternately). Clean the Acuralux acrylic surface of your hot tub with a few drops of Tub Clean to remove scum lines. Your hot tub cover can be cleaned and protected with a damp cloth using CoverAll.
CLEAN FILTERS MEAN CLEAN WATER FILTER CLEANING MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE Extend the life of your filters with monthly cleaning. Your filters should last for several years if maintained properly. After your hot tub is drained, place your filters in a bucket with enough water to submerge the filters. Beachcomber offers a specialized cleaning canister, available from your local store (shown at right). Use the handy schedule on the following page to keep a record of your hot tub filter cleaning.

GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR HOT TUB JETS QUALITY CONSTRUCTION MAKES SMOOTH OPERATION Your Beachcomber Hot Tub jets are fully adjustable. You can personalize your own massage in your favorite seat, by turning the outside ring either counterclockwise for a stronger flow, or clockwise for a smaller flow. To turn them off, simply turn all the way clockwise to stop the flow of water. The outer ring is grooved for you to give a quick and easy grip for adjustment.
WHAT ARE WATERPORTS? EASE OF USE OF THE MASSAGE INSERTS What you need and deserve is information and education, because awareness for hot tubs is still very low. We are in a young industry - that’s why we are committed to the education process. Your dealer can provide that knowledge by educating you about massaging and body therapy with WaterPortsTM. Here’s a quick look at the terminology for Beachcomber’s WaterPortsTM. Beachcomber massage inserts come in Small, Medium, Large and Extra Large.
Jet orifice (seven jet model shown here) Threaded WaterPortsTM opening in the hot tub acrylic, allowing interchangeability of massage inserts Massage Insert As you get to know your Beachcomber Hot Tub, you’ll develop favorite seating arrangements with customized massages. Experiment with your WaterportsTM to find the massage that best meets your needs.
SECTION 4 Caring For Your Beachcomber Hot Tub Investment It’s very important to us to show you how to get the most from your new Beachcomber Hot Tub. With proper care, your hot tub will perform and give you countless hours of enjoyment.
CARING FOR THE HOT TUB CABINETRY Native to North America, western red cedar is one of the most highly prized woods in the world. West Coast First Nations called western red cedar “long life giver” because its wood, bark and roots supplied so many of their artistic and material needs. Builders admire its long, straight grain and resistance to natural decay. That’s why it’s so important to keep it looking new. You can do that by applying Nu Wood two step process to the cabinetry once a year.
A SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT HEATSHIELDS When shocking your Beachcomber Hot Tub, we recommend that you open one side of your cover to allow your sanitizer to oxidize and gas off. Doing this will help to protect the underside of your cover, and it will allow your sanitizer to clean your hot tub water. CARING FOR YOUR HOT TUB’S ACRYLIC SURFACE acrylic surface can occur. Overexposure to sunlight will void your factory warranty. Always leave your hot tub protected with the cover on when you are not using the hot tub.

SECTION 6 How To Keep Your Hot Tub Water Clean And Fresh Every Beachcomber store offers you a complete water treatment program. From free computer water analysis, to all the treatment products you’ll need, your local store can help you keep your water clean and fresh for every hot tub party you’ll have! This section gives you useful tips on how to care for your hot tub water.
CLEANING YOUR HOT TUB WATER WARNING You need to keep your hot tub clean and ready to use. When you enter your hot tub, you bring in as much contaminant as 50 people would in a normal sized swimming pool! Because your hot tub is such a small, enclosed environment, it needs to be a sanitary place.
WATER TESTING Your Beachcomber Store is equipped to perform a thorough analysis of your hot tub water. Take a one liter sample to your store and they will advise you on the products necessary to properly balance and care for your hot tub. Unbalanced hot tub water can quickly damage your equipment. Your Beachcomber store will advise you on how to protect your investment. BALANCE Hot tub water must have the correct chemical balance.

SECTION 7 Questions And Answers About Your Beachcomber Hot Tub It’s very important to us to give you the information you need to enjoy your hot tub experience. Following are some of the most common questions that have come across our customer service desk over the last year, and we wanted to give them to you to help you understand how to avoid service calls.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS FOR THE HOT TUB OWNER How do we get our Beachcomber Hot Tub into our backyard? Your Beachcomber dealer will deliver your hot tub to your yard. Prepare for your delivery - clear the way of toys, bikes, barbecues and wood piles. If you need more information about your hot tub such as weight and dimensions, check Section 9, “Details Reference Chart”. Your Beachcomber Hot Tub is double wrapped from the factory to protect it from any damage during shipping.
Do we use anything to treat the wooden cabinet on our hot tub? Beachcomber makes a very good product called Nu Wood. It’s applied in an easy two step process, and will keep your cabinet looking new for years to come. We recommend that you apply Nu Wood within 6 months to a year of the first year of ownership. If your hot tub is exposed to the elements, such as on a lakefront, you will need to apply Nu Wood every 3-6 months.
How often do we clean our filters? This can depend on usage. If you have lots of friends that are enjoying the hot tub with you, you will need to clean them more often. Inspect your filters to check for leaves and other debris that may impair their ability to filter the water. We recommend that you clean them once a month with Filter Pure or Filter Cure. You should have two sets; rotating them so that one is always ready and clean.
If your diaphragm is in good shape, there may be another problem. There is a clear hose attached to this diaphragm that links on to the back of the Management System (the black metal box on top of the motor). See that this clear tubing has not popped off the pneumatic switch. If it has, it may have become stretched; simply cut off a half inch of the hose and replace it back onto the switch nipple. What is the best surface finish used in making a hot tub? Cast acrylic.
What happens after I pay for my hot tub? How do I know I’ll receive after-sale service? Good question. Does the store have a service centre? Is there more than one location? Is there a dealer network? Is there a toll-free 800 number to contact the manufacturer? How long has the company sold the hot tub brand it carries? Where is the hot tub made? And how long has the manufacturer been in business? These are good questions to ask. At Beachcomber, we believe we have the answers - and all positive.
