Owner`s manual

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. 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.
8. 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.
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 100°F (38°C) and then the
display switches to - - °F.
11. The factory default setting for water temperature is
100°F (38°C). Use the TEMP pad on the control
panel to set the water temperature to the desired
level. (See SPA CONTROL OPERATION.) It takes up
to 24 hours to heat the water to desired tempera-
ture depending on the water temperature and
voltage of your spa.
DURACOVER™
When the spa is not in use, the DuraCover should be
kept on the spa to retain the water’s heat and to
keep out dirt, leaves, etc.
For your safety and convenience, the cover is
equipped with adjustable straps, safety locks, and
handles. Use the exterior handles to remove and
replace your cover. Never attempt to open or remove
the cover by grasping or pulling on the cover skirting
or cover lock straps as the skirting will tear.
Vent air by slightly
opening pump unions.
Use TEMP pad to set
water temperature.
Fill spa with water to
two-thirds of the way
up the Vortex skimmer
opening.
