COMPONENT OPERATION
SPA COMPONENT OPERATION
AIR CONTROL VALVE
The air control valve serves to regulate the amount of air mixed with the water when the jets are
operational. Rotate the air control in one direction to achieve the maximum jet pressure and thera-
peutic action. Rotating the air control in the opposite direction to turn air off and allow the jets to
work with water only. Turn the air controls off when the spa is not in use, this will prevent cold air
from entering the spa and will keep heating cost to a minimum. The ozone jet (when equipped),
will always produce air bubbles.
DIVERTER VALVE (WHEN EQUIPPED)
The diverter valve on your spa allows you to direct the flow of water from the pump to one of two
combinations of jets. The function of the diverter valve can best be learned by experimentation.
Turn the large valve all the way to one side or the other to see which jets are on.
HYDROTHERAPY JETS
The hydrotherapy jets are recessed in the wall of the spa. Rotate the jet face one direction or the
other to turn the jets on or off. Not all jets have a rotational face to turn the jets on or off. Turning a jet
on or off will increase or decrease the effects of any jets “not” in the closed position.
OZONE GENERATOR (WHEN EQUIPPED)
The ozone system greatly enhances the quality of the spa water when used to supplement the spa
owner’s regular water maintenance program. Contrary to some information circulated throughout
the pool and spa industry regarding ozone systems, ozone CAN'T be used as a single-source
sanitizer, water clarifier, anti-foamer, and mineral chelating agent. A secondary source sanitizer
must be used to maintain 2.0 ppm (2.0 mg/L) of Free Available Chlorine (FAC). LIFESMART
recommends that a chemical maintenance program based on recognized and documented
industry standards still be followed when using an ozone purification system to assure water
sanitation and the highest quality purified water.
WATERFALL (WHEN EQUIPPED)
If your spa has a waterfall, there will also be a control valve to operate the amount of flow through
the waterfall from no flow to a steady stream. This valve will be located in various positions on the
spa depending on the model and some models have the valve attached to the waterfall.
Note: The air control valve and the waterfall flow valve may look exactly the same, however; they
are separate components.
