The symptoms of hyperthermia include drowsiness, lethargy and an increase of internal temperature of the body.
Starting up a Beachcomber Hot Tub Once the Hybrid equipment is hooked up using the separate instructions provided with the Hybrid Equipment box, and the electrical connection is made by a qualified electrician, do the following: 1. Check all union fittings on the Hybrid or Portable equipment to ensure that they are tight. Hand-tightened is sufficient. If leaking is noted at these fittings you may need to tighten further or the gasket may be missing or not seated properly. Unscrew the union and check. 2.
4. Open the air bleed valve to release any air trapped in the external plumbing (see equipment configuration diagrams in this guide). There is one on the 300 and 500 series hot tubs, two on a 500 series with Hush Pump™ and a standard 700 series and three on a 700 series with Hush Pump™. Once all air is bled from the system, open any knife valves that are facing down. 5. With the air bled from the system, you can now turn on the power at the GFCI.

If calcium build-up is present, soak the parts in Filter Cure to loosen the calcium and then scrub with a brush and rinse off. If a lot of hair and debris is present on suction covers located in the foot well, this can reduce water flow to the pumps.
Turbo will come out of the 4 salt shaker relief jets found in the foot well of the hot tub. figure 11 Quintessential Surround Sound System™ (Optional) If your hot tub is equipped with the QSS feature, simply lift up the front cover, insert your CD or select a radio station, then select a volume level between 28-34.

ClearTech UV WATER CARE SYSTEM (Optional) Your hot tub may be equipped with ClearTech. This unit uses a specialized ultra violet light bulb which produces UV light. Bacteria are destroyed as the water passes through the tube and under this light. The UV bulb is rated at 15,000 hours. The glass sleeve covering the bulb should be inspected and cleaned (if necessary) at each drain and fill. For service or replacement, consult your Beachcomber store.
