OWNER’S MANUAL
220-240V AC, 50 Hz:
Connections shall be made in accordance with the wiring diagram found on the
inside of the control box cover. Connections should be made with copper
conductors only – aluminum wiring should not be used with this system. All
conductors, circuit breakers, and/or fuses must be sized in accordance to the
input ratings shown below:
220-240 V AC, 50 Hz:
• Permanently connected
• Rated 220-240V AC – 50 Hz
• One and two pump spas are rated 16A for low amp setting (heater off
during high-speed) and 32A for high amp setting (heater on during high-
speed).
Improperly wired spas can cause irreversible damage resulting in blown fuse
and melted terminal block, and to other electrical components. Also, damage
caused to components or equipment caused by high or low voltage, brown outs
or electric surges is not covered under warranty.
Electrical Service Connections at Terminal Block, Inside Spa Controller:
The spa must be supplied through a single MCB with a certified residual current
device (RCD) with a rated current trip not exceeding 30 mA. Means for spa
disconnection from supply must be incorporated in the fixed wiring.
Recommended supply conductor nominal cross sectional area is 4mm2 for 16A
rating, 6 mm2 for 32A rating.
NOTE: If the power cord on any piece of electrical equipment, such as a jet
pump or ozone generator, becomes damaged, do not use the spa until the cord
has been repaired. Consult your authorized Marquis Spas® dealer for
assistance on such repair.

Improperly wired spas are beyond Marquis Corp. control and are not covered
under the warranty. Other items beyond Marquis Corp. control include, but are
not limited to, damage resulting from: improper connections; accidents; failure to
follow procedures and instructions defined in the Marquis Spas® printed
instructions; cleaning agents; and natural occurrences including but not limited
to rodent or insect infestation, mold, lightning and other acts of nature.
STARTING YOUR SPA
START-UP PROCEDURE
Your spa is equipped with solid-state Comfort Controls specific to your spa
model. (See SPA CONTROL OPERATION for your specific spa model.)
To start your spa, you need a spa water test kit or test strip and an underwater
thermometer. It is important to follow each of these steps when starting your spa.
Once you have completed the following steps, refer to the instructions in your start-
up kit for proper start-up water maintenance, or see MARQUIS SPA CARE.
NOTE: Your spa has been filled and test-run at the factory. The first time your
spa is filled with water, some discoloration from residual test water may appear.
This will disappear when the spa is completely filled and the filtration system is
functioning.
WARNING: Spa must be completely filled with water before turning on power.
Test the water for the proper chemical balance and adjust as necessary.
Marquis SpaCare™ products are recommended. (See WATER TREATMENT.)
PROPER CHEMICAL BALANCE IS IMPORTANT for your safety and the
longevity of your spa.
In the case of relocating your spa, it is imperative to follow the instructions in the
owner’s manual. These instructions must remain with the spa. Damage caused
by relocating spa is not covered under warranty.
THERAPY PUMP(S)
Start-up procedure for all models
1. Place spa on a hard, flat, level surface. Make sure the power supply is
off.
2. Make sure the suction guard(s) in the footwell are in place and
undamaged.
3. Open the equipment door. Tighten all disconnects and open all shut-off
valves.
NOTE: Keep the drain valve closed at all times except when draining the spa
(do not rely on the cap to stop the flow of water). Not doing so could
result in damage to the drain valve due to freezing water.
4. Install filter cartridges. (See INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS, Filter
Cartridges.)
5. Fill the spa with water to two-thirds of the way up the Vortex skimmer
openings.
The use of a Fill Filter is recommended, especially in areas with high
mineral content in the water.
6. Turn the power on.
7. Allow the spa to circulate on high-speed (see SPA CONTROL
OPERATION) for four to five minutes to discharge air from the
plumbing system. Do not expect hot water immediately from the jets;
the heater will take several hours to heat the water.
8. Your spa is now in “pump priming” mode and a “Pr” message displays
in the LCD window of the control panel. While in this mode the spa
appears idle, which lasts approximately four to five minutes if not exited
manually. To exit manually, press the TEMP pad.
9. At this time, the spa should have water flowing from the jets. If the
pump has not primed and the water is not flowing from the jets after
two minutes, TURN OFF POWER TO THE SPA and vent air from the
pumps by slightly opening the pump unions. After turning the power on
again, the spa initiates a new priming mode. Repeat steps above.
10. The system requires approximately two minutes of water flow to
determine the water temperature. After two minutes of water flow, the
temperature is displayed as actual water temperature. After you have
manually exited the priming mode (or allowed the spa to automatically
exit), the LCD window momentarily displays 37°C and then the display
switches to - - °C.
11. The factory default setting for water temperature is 37°C. Use the
TEMP pad on the control panel to set the water temperature to the
desired level. (See SPA CONTROL OPERATION.) Your spa heats at
the rate of approximately 3°C per hour.
