Important safety instructions Avoiding/reducing the risk of injury and/or drowning: 1. The temperature of the water in the spa must never exceed 40 °C. This temperature is considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended for young children and the elderly and whenever the spa is to be used for longer than 10 minutes. Consult your doctor or paediatrician about safe temperatures. 2.
• • • • • • • Get a qualified engineer to carry out the electrical connections. Replace damaged electrical cables immediately. Keep an eye on the water condition. Untreated water not only causes problems for your spa and equipment, but is also a health risk. Clean the filter element monthly or as often as you consider necessary (see filter maintenance (page 24). Position the spa so that it can be accessed for maintenance from all sides. Use a bathing cap is you have long hair.
3. 4. 5. 6. 7. would otherwise cause damage or someone to slip. The floor must be flat with an anti-slip finish. Carpet is not recommended. The walls, ceiling and woodwork must be constructed of a material with high resistance to damp. Check whether the floor can carry the full weight of the spa and water. The spa must be checked for leaks before installation to avoid any possible water damage. This service may also be part of your supplier’s installation service.
Spa system components A. Skimmer: Removes floating dirt from the surface of the water, creates a point for the water to flow back to the pump and contains a filter element. B. Top side control panel: Used to set the temperature, the jet pump and the lighting. C. Air Controls: Used to increase or decrease the amount of air in the jets. When heating the water, it is a good idea to keep the Air Controls closed for maximum energy savings. D.
Spa components Purely for reference. The equipment may look different from what is shown in the picture. N OT E : The equipment contains no user-serviceable components. We recommend that you have your spa maintained and repaired only by an experienced engineer. A. Pumps (one or two pumps, depending on the model): Low speed for efficient water circulation when filtering and heating; high speed for maximum jet operation. The pump functions are activated using the buttons on the operating panel. B.
Jets and air controls Jets All the jets are designed so that each of them provides a unique hydro-massage. All the large jets are adjustable, from a fully open to a fully closed position. NEVER CLOSE ALL THE LARGE JETS AT THE SAME TIME! Cleaning or replacing the jets Hard water can cause the accumulation of limescale or minerals, which can constrict or block the jets. Each jet consists of a backplate and a spout.
N OT E : Before you carry out any repairs to the spa, DISCONNECT the electricity supply at the main switch or the distribution board. Electrical specifications Warning: risk of electric shock Read and follow all instructions Important safety regulations All electrical connections of this spa system must ONLY be carried out be a qualified and experienced engineer, in compliance with the prevailing standards valid at the time of installation.
Starting procedures Operating systems 1. Fill the spa with tap water via the filter opening up to the mark on the skimmer. Never use softened water in your spa. Softened water can affect the chemical balance of the spa water and result in damage to metal components. Powerworks™ operating system 630/736 series (430/432 series) 2. Connect the spa to the electricity supply. 3. Open the Air Controls, which are on the top edge of the spa and rotate the jets downwards.
PANEL 630/736-SERIES: Push buttons The push buttons are the knobs that are located on the operating panel on the top of the spa. You can use them to program the various spa functions (e.g. turn on the lights, set the temperature).
Temperature The highest temperature that can be set is 40 °C and the lowest is 26 °C. The actual water temperature is shown on the display. If the pump is not used, two stripes can be seen. If stripes are displayed, you must first start the pump by pressing on the JETS 1 button. Then wait until the water temperature is displayed (this takes about 2 minutes). The set temperature of your spa can be easily increased or decreased at any time by pressing on the SET UP or SET DOWN buttons.
Press SET UP to lock the temperature and the display will then show: Next, press SET UP. You will now see the following in the central locked display: 1 1 You have two seconds to carry out this procedure in the correct sequence. The temperature of the spa and the lock symbol are shown together in the centre of the display. The buttons used to set the temperature are deactivated. If you press on these buttons, the set temperature is displayed with a double arrow next to it.
Standard/Economy/Sleep modes You can switch between Standard, Economy and Sleep modes by pressing the MODE/PROG button (430/432 series: MODE). If you place the spa in Standard mode, the low speed of pump 1 and the heating are automatically set to keep the water at the set temperature. If you set your spa in Economy mode, the heater ONLY works during the filter cycles. In this case, pump 1 activates several times per day for about two minutes to check the water temperature.
MODE/PROG and the display will show SET FILTER 1. Each time you press MODE/PROG, the filter start time, the status of the heater and the filter stop time are show on the LCD display. When the filter start or stop times are shown, you can adjust them by pressing SET UP or SET DOWN. When the message Set Heat is show, press SET UP or SET DOWN to turn the central display ON or OFF. In the ON position, the spa is heated to the set temperature during the filter cycles.
Press on UP or DOWN to set the duration of the cycle.
The different lighting options are: Mode 1: Random colour changes with a flowing, smooth transition from one colour to the next. Mode 2: One colour - red Mode 3: One colour - green Mode 4: One colour - blue Mode 5: One colour – red and green Mode 6: One colour – red and blue (violet) Mode 7: One colour – green and blue (aqua) If you press the button one more time it goes back to Mode 1 N OT E : If the power is turned off for longer than ten seconds, the lighting automatically resets itself to Mode 1.
Equipment Safety Features Automatic cut-off Your spa comes with an automatic time-out function. This is for the protection of the equipment and the user. In the interests of your safety and to limit the unnecessary use of the pumps and lighting, the selected equipment is automatically switched off by the time-out function as follows: Accessory Mode Shuts off in...

Maintenance Chemical composition of the water The chemical composition of the water in a spa system is extremely important. Chemicals are used to clean the water and regulate the pH balance. High water temperatures combined with a small volume of water requires careful monitoring of the chemical balance of the water. We recommend that you get a starter kit with chemicals from your supplier as well as any extra materials that you will need to maintain the correct/ideal chemical balance.
combination with water cleaning and balancing chemicals results in a clean, healthy spa, ensures the minimal use of chemical products and protects you against irritation caused by chemicals. Cleaning the water with ozone The size of spas varies, as does the frequency and conditions of their use. Therefore, it is best to arrange your cleaning schedule to suit your personal level of use. When you use ozone, you must first balance the chemical composition of the water as you would normally do.
The internal drainpipe(s) is/are behind the front panel. Remove the screws from the access panel, and then the panel itself. Locate the drainpipe(s). Remove the cap from the valve of each drainpipe, couple the garden hose and turn the handwheels of the valve 90° anti-clockwise. The water will start to flow. Once the water has been drained from the spa, turn the handwheel of the valve clockwise until it stops. Remove the hose and replace the cap. Do this for each internal drainpipe.
every year. How often you have to clean the filter depends on how intensively the spa is used. Getting your spa ready for winter In cold climates, where the temperature drops below freezing, special care is needed to prevent the spa and accessories from being damaged by frost. If you intend to use your spa in winter, you need to ensure that the pump and heater are working properly. The outside of the spa is insulated so that it works efficiently in cold regions.
Protect the varnish of your spa - always cover the spa when not in use. Lights The lights in the spa can be replaced via the housing. Remove the side panel and the insulation, which is thickest around the lighting units. Look for the light fitting. Turn the black holder 90° anti-clockwise and remove from the fitting. Take out the bulb and replace it. Replace the lamp-holder in the fitting and tighten the holder by turning it through 90° clockwise.
Common problems with the spa water Problem Cause Solution Cloudy water • Insufficient filtration / dirty filter • Too much oil / organic material • Unsuitable cleaning method / bacteria • High pH value and/or high alkalinity • Floating particles / organic material • High content of dissolved materials • Check whether the filter is working properly; clean the filter with a special filter cleaner or degreaser.
Problem Cause Solution Ring of scum/dirt on the spa walls • Build-up of cosmetic oils, lotions and chemicals from soap or cleaning agents • Remove the scum with a hand net, or change the water. Algae • pH value out of balance • Low content of available chlorine • Adjust the pH value • Shock treatment with chlorine Eye irritation • Low pH value • Insufficient chlorine • Increase the pH value using sodium bicarbonate.
Problem Cleaning agent disappears too quickly Cause Solution • Excessive organic growth in the water • Temperature too high • Low pH • Low pH corrosion of metal connections • Low calcium hardness • Low total alkalinity • Increase shock dosage; add cleaning agent; shower before using the spa • Reduce the temperature • Increase the pH using sodium bicarbonate. • If metals are present, use a chelate. Keep the pH value at the right level (7.0 to 7.5). • If metals are present, use a chelate.
Problem Usual cause Solution Abnormal water consumption • Very strong condensation and/or splashes • Use the cover and refill as necessary Low water stream from the jets • Running in FILTER mode - slow speed • Block wall suctions or skimmer • Dirty filter • Jets are OFF • Sliding valves closed • Select High Speed jets • Clean the wall suction/skimmer.
Tips for use 1. Wash well with soap and water before and after you use the spa. Showering before you use the spa ensures that common bacteria, sweat, lotions, deodorants, creams, etc. are removed, so that they do not undo the effect of the cleaning agent and the ability of the filter to work efficiently. Showering after use reduces the risk of skin irritation that can arise from being in contact with the chemicals in the spa water. 2. Sit down slowly and carefully in the spa.
