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 (circula-
tion/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.
