GENERAL PRE-OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS Priming Pump For Electric Packs The Power pack system is located under the skirting. The equipment can be serviced by simply removing the door. The door is located on the side of the spa where three panels are located, usually on the side of the spa with the lounger, or the side where the topside control panel is located. It is important to make sure that all of the air is out of the pump(s) before operating.
CONTROLS AND VALVES Air Control Each spa is equipped with air controls (venturies). The purpose of these controls is to regulate the mixture of air and water that flows through the jets. If an optional blower is installed, air is also pushed through the air controls (venturies) for maximum output. If your spa has a master massage jet located in the foot well, the spa will be equipped with an air control specifically for the master massage jet. This third control operates the same as the others.
OTHER GENERAL CONTROLS Individual Jet Operation Individual jets can be turned on and off. This is done by simply turning the outer jet housing. Turning clockwise will turn the jet on, and turning counterclockwise will turn the jet off. Individual jet control can be done independently from normal diverter valve settings. Water feature Control All spas are equipped with water features, they are controlled with a Mini Diverter Valve.
WATER CARE 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 contamination 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. We accomplish this with a simple three step process: 1) Balance 2) Filtration 3) Sanitation The water that comes from your tap at home is fine for showers or bathing, because it is drained immediately after use.
WATER CARE Balance Spa water must have the correct chemical balance. Unbalanced water can irritate eyes, corrode the equipment, leave mineral deposits, and decrease the effectiveness of the sanitizer. Balanced water means establishing proper balance among Total Alkalinity, pH, Calcium Hardness and Total dissolved solids. (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.

FILTER LOCATION Enclosed Filter Location Enclosed Style • • • • Turn off power at the breaker. Pull the top floating weir assembly out exposing the filter. Unscrew filter cartridge(s) and remove. Clean with a garden hose equipped with a high pressure nozzle, or soak in filter cartridge cleaner if necessary, or at every other regularly scheduled cleaning. Rinse filter thoroughly before installing. Screw clean cartridge back into filter enclosure and return filter door to original position.
FILTER LOCATION Dual Filter Location Filter Maintenance Filtration starts as soon as water flow is steady through the filter. The filter cartridge removes body oil and debris from the spa water, as they can cause flow resistance. A dirty cartridge will decrease flow and may prevent the spa from heating properly. Therefore, regular filter cleaning is essential. Cleaning and Replacing Filter Cartridge Your spa filter(s) have been designed for quick and easy maintenance. NOTE! Note: The filter location may vary.

DRAINING YOUR SPA Because your spa holds a relatively small amount of water, contaminant’s 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 on the exterior drain of the cabinet to access the hose bib, please pull the cap out and turn counter clock wise to remove the cap, attach hose to the drain.
WINTERIZING YOUR SPA WARNING! In areas of the country where the temperatures drop below 32° F (O˚ C), it is important to follow these directions: When winterizing the spa, we recommend putting RV Antifreeze in the spa and running it before draining the spa. 1) If the spa is not going to be used, drain completely. Be sure all water is removed. Break or loosen unions at each end of pump to ensure water from pump area is removed. Remove pump freeze plugs if so equipped.
MAINTAINING YOUR SPA COVER Proper Maintenance For Your 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. Household lubricating oil 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 the first snow or ice. If possible, treat during the winter too. 4) Monitor your water chemistry.
