Owner`s manual

The equipment compartment houses the "nerve center" of the spa and includes the following system components.
Pump(s)
Emerald Spas have different pump systems, depending on the spa model. Emerald Base, Classic and Special
Edition spas have a two-speed (circulation/jets) pump and provide:
- Filtration, circulation and heat on low speed.
- Hydrotherapy jet action on high speed for 120V. For 240V, the spa will also heat in high speed.
The Emerald Elite and Cygnus series have a two pump system which uses an additional booster pump to
enhance jet action.
Blower
Emerald Classic, Elite, Special Edition and Cygnus spas include a blower to provide bubble therapy and an
enhanced force of air to the water jets called High Performance-Jet Select.
Caution:
T-valves must be open when spa is in use. See Fig. 1.
T-valves must be in closed position before any plumbing is disassembled for service. See Fig. 2.
T-valves
All one-pump systems have two T-valves, located in the water circulation lines on either side of the power pack.
Some models have two pumps, which include two additional T-valves located on either side of the booster pump.
To operate T-Valve:
- To close, temporarily remove security clip and push
T-handle down.
- To open, pull T-handle up and secure
with security clip.
