safety instructions The following instructions are required to be printed by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) as a condition of the listing of this product. They contain important safety information. We strongly encourage you to read and apply them. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WHEN INSTALLING AND USING THIS ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT, BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING: 1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS 2.
safety instructions 240 VOLT, PERMANENTLY INSTALLED OR CONVERTED MODELS 9. A ground terminal is provided on the terminal block (TB-1, terminal 7) located inside the control box. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect this terminal to the grounding terminal of your electrical service or supply panel with a continuous green, insulated copper wire. The wire must be equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying the equipment.
safety instructions • Persons using medications should consult a physician before using a spa since some medication may induce drowsiness while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation. 15.DANGER: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS. Do not remove the suction fittings. 16.DANGER: RISK OF INJURY: Never operate a spa if the suction guard(s) is broken or missing. Never replace a suction guard with one rated less than the flow rate marked on the original suction guard.
safety instructions SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR FRENCH SPEAKING SPA OWNERS AVERTISSEMENT: Ne pas placer d’appareil électrique (luminaire, téléphone,radio, téléviseur, etc.) moins de 1.52 m de cette cuve de relaxation. AVERTISSEMENT: Ne pas laisser les enfants utiliser une cuve de relaxation sans surveillance. AVERTISSEMENT: Pour éviter que les cheveux ou une partie du corps puissent être aspirés, ne pas utiliser une cuve de relaxation si les grilles de prise d’aspiration ne sont pas toutes en place.
safety instructions PERSONAL SAFETY Prolonged immersion in hot water can result in HYPERTHERMIA, a dangerous condition which occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level above normal (98.6°F, 37°C). The symptoms of hyperthermia include dizziness, fainting, drowsiness, lethargy, and a body temperature above 98.6°F (37°C).
safety instructions PERSONAL SAFETY DO’s: • Be sure your spa is connected to the power supply correctly – only use a licensed electrical contractor. • Shut off power supply (unplug 120V models) before draining the spa or servicing the electrical components. • Test the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) monthly. • Always test the water temperature with an accurate thermometer before entering the spa to be sure that it’s a safe temperature. • Remember that wet surfaces can be very slippery.
installation instructions LOCATION For your portable spa to function properly and safely, it must be located on a hard, flat, level surface. Inground spas require special installation techniques and should be planned in conjunction with your spa dealer. Improper installation can result in structural damage to the spa and the voiding of your spa warranty.
installation instructions OUTDOOR AND PATIO INSTALLATION To install the spa outdoors, we recommend a reinforced concrete pad at least four inches thick. The reinforcing material should be attached to a #8 AWG bonding wire per national and local electrical code. If you place the spa on the ground, even temporarily, place concrete pavers under the entire bottom of the spa. The concrete pavers should be a least two inches thick and level across the entire surface.
installation instructions SHUT-OFF VALVES Your spa is equipped with shut-off valves (see EQUIPMENT DIAGRAM) that shut off the water flow to the equipment system for dealer service. At times, a new spa or one that has recently been serviced, may have the shut-off valves partially closed which can restrict the water flow and hinder jet performance. Be sure the valves are fully open.
installation instructions SUCTION GUARDS The suction guard(s) in the footwell of your spa is an opening through which the jet pump(s) draws water. Suction fittings are equipped with a safety guard. Suction through the fittings can be strong. The safety guard(s) must remain in place and undamaged. A fitting with a damaged guard(s) can be dangerous, especially to small children or people with long hair. Should any part of the body become drawn to a fitting, turn the jet pump(s) off immediately.
installation instructions A pressure wire connector is located on the exterior of the control box. This pressure wire connector should be bonded with at least #8 AWG (8.42mm2, #6 in Canada) copper wire to any metal ladder, metal water pipe, common bonding grid (reinforced concrete slab, ground plate beneath the spa), or any other metal within five feet of the spa. 120 Volt: 120V units must only be connected to a properly grounded, grounding type 15 amp dedicated receptacle.
starting your spa START-UP PROCEDURE Your spa is equipped with solid-state Comfort Controls specific to your spa model. Please see SPA CONTROL OPERATION for your specific spa model. To start your spa, you need a spa water test kit and an underwater thermometer. It is important to follow each of these steps when starting your spa.
starting your spa Screw pump plug into face of pump. Close drain valve in equipment bay (shown in open position). Screw plug in hose connector. Fill spa two-thirds of the way up the Vortex skimmer opening. Vent air by slightly opening pump unions. PAGE 16 MARQUIS SPAS 7. After a few seconds the spa should have water flowing from the jets.
starting your spa Use TEMP pad to set water temperature. 9. 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 102°F (39°C) and then the display switches to - - °F. 10. The factory default setting for water temperature is 102°F (39°C).
operating your spa MAXIMUM THERAPY JETTING SYSTEM PERSONAL THERAPY JETS This small jet provides a targeted stream of water. Power Swirl Jet CASCADE NECK JETS The Cascade Neck jets are turned on and off (when the jet pump is on) using the small teardrop neck jet control lever. POWER BOOST JET The direction of water flow can be changed by redirecting the central nozzle. The water flow can be adjusted by turning the jet face using the four tabs.
spa models The following section provides valuable information regarding your specific spa model, including location of jets and components, and how to operate the jets with the Tri-Zone control(s). Marquis Spas is celebrating 25 years of manufacturing spas with the development of two special spa models – Silver Anniversary Reward and Silver Anniversary Euphoria. We have strived to make this information as concise and easy to understand as possible.
