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, ll spa
with water immediately or shade the spa with cover or wrapping to prevent
direct exposure to sunlight.
IMPORTANT: Do not turn power on to the spa without water in the spa.
Serious damage to the pump and heater may occur.
Step 1: Fill the Spa: Use a garden hose to ll the spa to the water level indica-
tion mark on the faceplate of the lter weir assembly.
NOTE: For complete lling instructions, refer to Changing Spa Water (page
55).
IMPORTANT: Never ll the spa with soft water unless an appropriate
mineral supplement is immediately added (see your authorized Bullfrog Spas
Dealer). If your water is extremely hard, it is preferable to either dilute the
water’s hardness by blending the water with water from a water softener, or
by the addition of a special water softening chemical (see your authorized
Bullfrog Spas Dealer).
Step 2: Check for Leaks: After the spa is lled, check all ttings and equip-
ment in equipment compartment for signs of leakage before turning on the
spa. Turn on pump(s), once again, check for leakage. If a leak is detected,
tighten the tting by hand. If the leak persists contact your authorized Bull-
frog Spas Dealer.
Filling Your Spa
Step 3: Install Cover: e spa cover comes with tie -down straps and locking
hardware that attaches the cover to the spa or decking. If your dealer did not
install the cover, refer to the Cover Installation Instructions included with the
cover.
Cover locks are an essential component for compliance with the ASTM
F1346-91 safety standard for spa covers.
