General Pre-Operation Instructions Priming Pump For Electric Packs The power pack system is located under the foam skirt. The equipment can be serviced by simply opening the door. It is important to make sure that all of the air is out of the equipment pack before operating. To do this, follow the procedures below: Turn off power at the breaker. Make sure the gate valves are open. Fill the spa with water going through the filter. Turn the power on at the breaker.
Top Side Control Instructions The operations of your hot tub can be enjoyed at the touch of a button. This section is designed to walk you through the details of the operation. To start the pump: Press the Pump key to turn the pump on at low speed. A second press will turn the pump to high speed. A third press will turn the pump off. A built-in timer will shut the pump off after 20 minutes unless it has been manually deactivated.
Top Side Control Instructions HOW TO PROGRAM THE FILTER CYCLE DURATION The system will automatically perform two filtration cycles per day, 12 hours apart. During a filter cycle, the pump runs at low speed for a predetermined number of hours. The ozonator is also activated. The "Filter" indicator light will be on when a filter cycle is in progress. To set the filter cycle duration: 104 104 Press and hold the Light key for 5 seconds. The display will show the currently set filter cycle duration in hours.
Top Side Valve Controls Air Venturies Each Spa is equipped with 2 air venturies, located on the topside lip. The purpose of these controls is to regulate the mixture of air and water that flows through the jets. Diverter Valve This valve controls the output of the pump to either side of the spa, or it may operate all jets if left in the middle position.
Filter Maintenance Filtration starts as soon as flow is steady through the filter. The filter cartridge removes the dirt from the spa water, the accumulated dirt causes flow resistance. A dirty cartridge will prevent the spa from heating properly. Therefore, regular filter cleaning is important. Cleaning and Replacing Filter Cartridge Your Garden Leisure Spa filter has been designed for quick and easy maintenance. Turn off power at the breaker.

Keeping Your Spa Water Clean & Fresh Cleaning Your Spa Water You need to keep your spa clean and ready to use. When you enter your spa, you bring in as much contaminants as 50 people would in a normal size swimming pool! Because your spa is such a small, enclosed environment, it needs to be a sanitary place.
Keeping Your Spa Water Clean & Fresh 4) pH STABALIZER - It will properly adjust and hold the pH for up to 3 months. Water Testing Your Garden Leisure dealer is equipped to perform a thorough analysis of your spa water. Take a one liter sample to the store and they will advise you on the products necessary to properly balance and care for your spa. Unbalanced spa water can quickly damage your equipment. Your Garden Leisure dealer will advise you on how to protect your investment.
Keeping Your Spa Water Clean & Fresh An Overview Monthly - For Equipment Protection CALCIUM BOOSTER (If Needed) - Calcium booster treats the water if low calcium hardness is a problem in your area. It will help prevent equipment corrosion and foaming by raising the spa's water hardness level to an acceptable range of 120 ppm. Filter Cleaning To keep your filter free of grease, grime, and oil. Clean the filter with SPA CARTRIDGE FILTER CLEAN. One 16 oz. bottle treats a 55 square foot filter.
Keeping Your Spa Water Clean & Fresh An Overview As Needed (cont.) Skin Conditioning To prevent dry skin, pour SKIN SOFTNER directly into the spa. It smoothes and moisturizes. Algae Control For spas with green or yellow algae, use SPA ALGAECIDE to kill and prevent further algae growth. Do not leave your water treatment products outside. If they are subject to extreme heat or cold, their effectiveness can be impaired making them unusable. Always keep these and other chemicals OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
Draining Your Spa Because a spa holds a relatively small amount of water, contaminants such as body oil, perspiration, dirt, hair, etc., may become quite concentrated. For this reason, the water should be drained and replaced every three months depending on use. Turn off power at the breaker. Hook up a garden hose to the hose bib located in spa equipment area or on the exterior side cabinet. When water begins to drain out of the hose, be sure to drain the water to a convenient place.
Winterizing Your Spa O In areas of the country where the temperatures drops below 32 F, it is important to follow these directions 1) If the spa is not going to be used, drain completely and store in garage or some type of storage facility. Be sure all water is removed. 2) Do not turn unit off with water in the spa. Frozen water may rupture plumbing, and will not be covered under warranty. 3) In areas where sub-freezing temperatures can be expected, the filter and equipment should be drained of all water.
Winterizing Spa Covers Proper Maintenance For Your Garden Leisure Spa Cover 1) Use a soft broom to remove accumulation after every snowfall or ice storm 2) Splash cool tap water on the hardware to free them if they become frozen shut. WD-40 will keep the lock free, but apply carefully because it can damage the cabinet finish. 3) We recommend a good treatment with Vinyl Conditioner before your first snow or ice fall. If possible, treat during the winter too. 4) Monitor your water chemistry.
