Operate Your Spa
Filling & Starting Spa
1. Place spa on an approved surface. For North
American installation, plug your spa’s GFCI cord
into a 120V/15A weatherproof outlet or have it
properly hardwired to run on 240V by a licensed
electrician. For European installation, see previous
page.
2. Open access door OR remove exterior spa pan-
els by prying off panel plugs with a flathead screw-
driver and removing screws with a Phillips head
screwdriver.
3. Make sure white
plumbing unions
are secure and did
not loosen during
shipping. There will
be 4 unions. Hand-
tighten any loose
unions.
4. Open all gate
valves in the equip-
ment area. Before
operation, these
valves must be in the UP/OPEN position and have
plastic clips inserted. Never run the spa with the
gate valves closed or without water circulating for
any period of time.
5. Remove the filter and filter plug (and weir and
basket, if equipped) from filter chamber. Photos
may vary from your particular spa model.
6. Place a garden hose in
the filter chamber and
fill your spa with regular
tap water to 2” higher
than the highest jet.

to maintain proper water chemistry with soft water.
Also, the water may foam, which will eventually
harm the finish of the spa and void your warranty.
7. If you have an automatic bromine generator, turn
it off.
8. Once the water is at the correct level and air is
bled, turn on the power at the GFCI breaker.
Note: When the power is turned on, the controls will per-
form a diagnostic check for a few minutes. When com-
plete, the spa will automatically operate at filter speed
and continue heating until water reaches 100ºF.
9. If water does not flow from jets when the pump
is running, there could be an air pocket. See next
page, Priming the Pump, for methods of removing
air pockets from the pump(s)l
10. Install the filter plug and filter (and weir and bas-
ket, if equipped) into the filter chamber.
