Filling Your Spa WARNING: An empty spa (spa without water in it) must not be left exposed to sunlight as shell damage may occur. Once the spa is unwrapped, fill spa with water immediately or shade the spa with cover or wrapping to prevent direct exposure to sunlight. Step 3: Install Cover: The spa cover comes with tie -down straps and locking hardware that attaches the cover to the spa or decking.
Control System IMPORTANT : Your Bullfrog Spa is equipped with one of 3 types of control pads, A900 (5 Button), R600 (6 Button) and S600 (6 Button). Locate the control system on your spa by matching it with the photos provided and follow the specific instructions for operation of your specific control system. Your spa is pre-programmed with default filter cycles and temperature settings. The following control panel instructions will detail the procedures to alter such default settings.
A Series Spas- A900 Fill it up! Preparation and Filling Fill the spa to its correct operating level. Be sure to open all valves and jets in the plumbing system before filling to allow as much air as possible to escape from the plumbing and the control system during the filling process. After turning the power on at the main power panel, the top-side panel will display a splash, or startup screen.
Once the system has exited Priming Mode, the top-side panel will display the Main Screen, but the display will not show the temperature yet, as shown below. This is because the system requires approximately 1 minute of water flowing through the heater to determine the water temperature and display it. – – –°F– – –°C The Main Screen Spa Status The Main Screen Important information about spa operation can be seen quickly from the Main Screen.
Navigation Navigating the entire menu structure is done with the 5 buttons on the control panel. When a text item changes to white during navigation, that indicates the item is selected for action. Operating or changing a selected item is generally done with the center or “Select” button. The only item that can be changed on the Navigation left side of the Main Screen is the Set Temperature. Press the Left Arrow Navigating the entire menu structure is done with the 5 buttons on the control panel.
The Setting Screen Dual Temperature Range (High vs. Low) This system incorporates two temperature range settings with independent set temperatures. The specific range can be selected on the Settings screen and is visible on the Main Screen in the upper right corner of the display. These ranges can be used for various reasons, with a common use being a “ready to use” setting vs. a “vacation” setting. Each range maintains its own set temperature as programmed by the user.
Ready-in-Rest Mode READY/REST appears in the display if the spa is in Rest Mode and the Jets 1 Button is pressed. It is assumed that the spa is being used and will heat to set temperature. While Pump 1 High can be turned on and off, Pump 1 Low will run until set temperature is reached, or 1 hour has passed. After 1 hour, the System will revert to Rest Mode. This mode can also be reset by entering the Settings Menu and changing the Heat Mode.
Adjusting Filtration NOTE: Your spa’s factory default filter cycle start times are 8:00am and 6:00pm daily. When using the most economical “rest” mode, it is recommended that you adjust the filtration cycles to run just prior to the time of your usual spa use. Adjusting Filtration Purge Cycles In order to maintain sanitary conditions, as well as protect against freezing, secondary water devices will purge water from their respective plumbing by running briefly at the beginning of each filter cycle.
Back Panel OFF Hold Mode Hold Mode is used to disable the pumps during service functions like cleaning or replacing the filter. Hold Mode will last for 1 hour unless the mode is exited manually. If spa service will require more than an hour, it may be best to simply shut down power to the spa.

WATER CARE & CHEMISTRY Chemicals Properly maintaining your spa water is very important to ensure enjoyment in using your spa and to maximize spa shell and equipment life. Maintaining your spa water chemistry will require regular attention to prevent poor water quality, potential unhealthy conditions, and possible damage to your spa.
It is important to test and adjust the sanitizer and pH level of your spa on a frequent basis. If the spa is used 0-3 times weekly, we recommend that you test the water a minimum of 2-3 times a week. For each additional use, test the water one additional time. Test kits and supplies are available from your authorized Bullfrog dealer. pH Control: Proper pH balance is extremely important in controlling bacteria, providing water that is comfortable to the user, and preventing damage to the spa and equipment.
• Non-Chlorine Shock - 5 teaspoons of per 200 gallons (909.2l) of water Note: Super Sanitation may be required more than once per week for heavy usage. With ozone, it may not be necessary to shock the water on a weekly basis, contact your authorized Bullfrog Spa dealer for more information. Total Alkalinity (TA): Total alkalinity (TA) is the quantitative measurement of alkaline components (carbonates and bicarbonates) present in water to act as a buffer against rapid pH changes.
SPA MAINTENANCE WARNING: An empty spa (spa without water in it) must not be left exposed to sunlight as shell damage may occur. Once the spa is unwrapped, fill spa with water immediately or shade the spa with cover or wrapping to prevent direct exposure to sunlight.
To Refill Your Spa: WARNING: When refilling the spa, always Super Sanitize the new water by adhering to the instructions in the Water Chemistry section. Step 1: To avoid air pockets in the pump(s), refill the spa with water by placing the hose into the filter compartment through the Weir door. Fill to the water level indication on the faceplate of the filter assembly. Step 2: Restore electrical power supply. Step 5: Attach a standard garden hose. Push the drain spout in halfway to actuate the drain.
Step 1: Place the spa in hold mode. Step 2: Remove FilterCap™ and filter plate. Step 4: Using a garden hose with a nozzle or other high-pressure device, clean cartridge(s). Work top to bottom on each pleat. • To remove collected lotions or body oils, soak cartridge(s) in warm water Step 3: Remove cartridge(s) by turning counter clockwise. with a Filter Cleaner or detergent. • To remove calcium deposits, soak cartridge(s) in a plastic container using a 1:10 ratio of Muriatic acid to water solution.
Light Bulb Replacement Spa Shell Care Standard Replacement- SportX Series Only General Cleaning To replace a burned out or defective standard light bulb, complete the following: Step 1: Turn off the electrical power at the breaker box. Step 2: Remove the equipment compartment door. Step 3: Locate the back of the light fixture. Step 4: Grasp the light bulb holder (located on the back of the light fixture) and twist counter-clockwise to release the light from the fixture.
JetPak™ Plumbing Care Cleaning the Spa Cover For optimum spa care, each time the spa water is changed, remove all JetPaks. Clean the plumbing (piping) for Sport X or back manifold area on A & R series spas with a spa surface cleaner and a long, soft bristle brush. For cleaning the JetPak acrylic surface, refer to Spa Shell Care. At least monthly, clean the spa cover. Spa Cabinet Care The EternaWood™ cabinet components are made to provide many years of maintenance-free service.
IMPORTANT: Remove the pillows when shocking the spa or when sanitizer levels are high. Leave cover open for at least 30 minutes after shocking to ensure pillows are not affected. NOTE: Pillow discoloration is caused by accelerated by high sanitizer use and is not covered under the Bullfrog Spa Warranties. Vacuum the Spa Debris from wind, trees, and users will occasionally accumulate on the bottom of the spa.
tighten the unions or close the air-bleed valves until the spa is de-winterized. Step 5: Clean the entire spa. Step 6: Remove filter cartridge(s) and clean. Do not reinstall until they are completely dry. Step 7: Secure the cover to the spa utilizing the tie downs and locking system. In areas where heavy snow is anticipated, place a large piece of plywood (or its equivalent) on top of the spa cover to assist in supporting the cover with the added weight of the snow.
REFERENCE MATERIAL Before attempting to install or use your spa, please read Important Safety Instructions as well as all the installation instructions that follow. Site Selection and Preparation Your home most likely offers multiple sites where your spa may be installed. Use the information presented in this section to assist you in carefully selecting the site that works best for you.
Spa Location Service Access: Some people choose to install tile, stone, or custom wood around their spas. If you are installing your spa with custom trimming, remember to allow access for service. Should your spa need service, a technician may need to remove the spa’s equipment compartment door or side panels, or access the spa from beneath. Also, it is always best to design special installations so the spa can still be moved, or lifted from the ground.
level to serve as your spa’s foundation. A foundation that shifts or settles may cause stress to the spa shell. The foundation that your spa rests on must have a weight bearing load capability of supporting the weight of your spa, its water, and the people using it. The maximum filled weight of a spa can be as much as 6,000 lbs.
pants that use it. You must know the deck’s weight-bearing load capacity and ensure that it is greater than the maximum filled weight of your spa combined with the occupants using it or serious injury or structural damage could result. To find the weight bearing load requirement along with the maximum filled weight of your spa, refer to the Spa Technical Specifications Chart or contact an authorized Bullfrog Spas Dealer.
Delivery Basics To prepare for the delivery of your spa, make sure the delivery path is clear and no obstructions are present. Obstacles such as overhanging tree limbs, awnings, protruding gas meters, water meters, and A/C units can prevent easy access. It may be necessary to remove a gate, part of a fence, or other items in order to dolly the spa to the desired location. If there are more than six consecutive stairs without a landing, you may be required to find another delivery path.
Depending on access to the spa site, your spa may be dollied in either horizontal or vertical position. For your convenience, the following charts provide the dimensions of your spa in either the horizontal or vertical position.
