GLOSSARY OF SPA TERMINOLOGY 1. NECK JETS 2. SHOULDER JETS 3. THERAPY JETS 4. MASTER BLASTER FOOT THERAPY JET Your new Master Spa features a variety of jet styles. All jets, regardless of style return the water to the spa. Air is mixed with the water by using the air controls (if equipped) creating a gentle to most vigorous massage. Water flow is adjusted by simply turning the outer face of the jet.
GLOSSARY OF SPA TERMINOLOGY 6. AquaTerrace Waterfall / AquaKrystal Valve Located on the topside of the spa, this valve adjusts water flow to the AquaTerrace waterfall and the AquaKrystal Jets. NOTE: When water features are not going to be used for an extended period of time, turn valve slightly to allow some water to flow when pump is on to prevent stagnent water from developing in the water lines.
GLOSSARY OF SPA TERMINOLOGY 9. PERSONAL REMOTE CONTROL The Legend Series spas have additional remotes which allow the user to control the jet therapy while remaining in his/her seat (if applicable). By pressing the control one time, you will activate the pump. Press the pad again for high speed and again to turn it off. Personal Remote Control 10.
GLOSSARY OF SPA TERMINOLOGY 14. WEIR GATE The weir gate is the horizontal door located in front of the filters that trap debris in the filter area 15. EQUIPMENT CONTROL SYSTEM This houses the wiring and electrical components necessary to operate the spa. 16. SPA HEATER This element is an electric heater housed in a stainless steel tube. It is thermostatically controlled and equipped with a high-limit temperature safety shut-off sensor.
GLOSSARY OF SPA TERMINOLOGY 19. SECONDARY PUMP This produces water flow through the other jet system in the spa (if applicable). The second pump operates similar to the main pump and is controlled by the “Jets II” or “Aux” button on the Topside Control Panel or by using the Personal Remote Control. 20. CIRCULATION PUMP This produces water flow through the heater in the spa and provides the water flow necessary to actuate the ozone generator.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS HAVE YOUR ELECTRICIAN READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BEFORE INSTALLATION BEGINS Electrical connections made improperly, or the use of wire gauge sizes for incurring power which are too small, may continually blow fuses in the electrical equipment box, may damage the internal electrical controls and components, may be unsafe and in any case will void your warranty.

SITE PREPARATION / GENERAL GUIDELINES Portable spa installation is simple when properly planned. It is important that you read the following information carefully and consult with your Master Spas dealer. 1) Access - The actual dimensions of your new spa will determine the amount of space that is needed in moving the spa from curbside to its final installation area. Be sure to measure side yard dimensions, gates or doors and vertical obstructions such as roof overhangs and overhead cables.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 1. 2. Put spa in final position that allows for access to equipment and spa components. Remove front side panel (This is the side where the main topside control panel is located) so electrical can be hooked up to the spa system pack. Panels are removed by unscrewing the screws in the corner sections and then lifting up the panels out of the retaining tracks. 3. Be sure all pump and heater unions are secure. Each pump has 2 unions and the heater has 2 unions.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 7. I t may be necessary to bleed air from the pump(s) on your spa if, after start up, your spa pumps do not operate. Due to the nature of water flow and hydro-therapy pumps, please be advised that air locking of pumps may occur. Master Spas has taken measures to reduce the possibility of this, but it still may occur, especially after refilling a spa. This is not a service covered under warranty.
WATER CHEMISTRY TERMS YOU SHOULD KNOW Before jumping into the Spa Water Maintenance, here are some terms to help you. 1. Parts per million, or ppm: This is a form of measurement used in most pool or spa chemical readings. Best described as any one million like items of equal size and make up, next to one unlike item , but of equal size. This would be one part per million. 2. Average size spa: What is it? The national spa and pool institute (NSPI) states; 350 to 400 U.S. gallons is average.
WATER CHEMISTRY TERMS YOU SHOULD KNOW Before jumping into the Spa Water Maintenance, here are some terms to help you. 8. Sanitizers: This is what kills the germs and bacteria that enter the water from the environment and the human body. A. Chlorine 1. Only one type is approved for spa use. Sodium dichlor which is granular, fast dissolving and pH neutral chlorine. 2. Chlorine is an immediate sanitizer. B. Bromine (Note: Bromine use is not recommended with Eco Pur filters.) 1.
THE ADVANTAGES OF ECO PUR™ Filtration Eco Pur™ water filter system is designed to reduce the use of chemicals in your spa. You will still be required, periodically, based on usage to add a small amount of chlorine to oxidize organic compounds in the water. The Eco Pur™ filter system will not eliminate the need to maintain proper water chemistry but can make the maintenance a more natural experience.
WATER QUALITY MAINTENANCE START-UP For eco Pur™ Water Filter system Step 1: Your spa should be filled using a Pre-filter, which can be obtained from your local dealer. This Pre-filter will help remove many of the minerals existing in the water, which will make adjusting the water balance easier after a new fill. Never use more then 50% softened water when filling the spa. Step 2: During the initial filling of the spa, add a sequestering agent to combat suspended minerals in the water.
WATER QUALITY MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE - ECO PUR™ BeFOre eaCH use Check spa water with a test strip for proper sanitation levels and adjust accordingly to the proper levels. Free chlorine level should be 1-3 ppm. ONCe a WeeK Add 1 ounce of non-chlorine shock/oxidizer* or chlorine* to spa to help maintain the water quality. 3 tIMes a WeeK Test water using chemical test strips. Adjust sanitizer, pH and Alkalinity accordingly. The total alkalinity should be between 80 - 150 ppm and the PH should be between 7.
WATER QUALITY MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE ECO PUR™ (continued) as NeeDeD If water looks hazy, check PH and Total Alkilinity, and treat with 1 ounce of chlorine*. Always refer to the chemical manufactures dosage recommendations listed on the container. These are general recommendations for water quality maintenance that may vary by usage and or bather load. Depending on bather load and frequency of use, drain and refill times may vary as well as the frequency of cleaning your filters.

WHY ARE CHEMICALS IMPORTANT IN A SPA 1. Evaporation: As water evaporates, only pure water evaporates, leaving the salts, minerals, metals, and any unused chemicals behind. Adding water adds more salts, minerals, and metals. In time, the water can become saturated with these dissolved solids and can cause stains or scale to form on the walls of the spa or a scale build up inside the equipment. Colored or cloudy water, and possible corrosion of plumbing and fittings may also occur. 2.
MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS Your spa requires periodic draining and cleaning to ensure a safe, healthy environment. It is recommended that you clean your spa at least every 180 days. Heavy bather load will require cleaning it more often. DRAIN YOUR SPA • See page 13. CLEAN YOUR SPA SURFACE •W ith a soft cloth, wipe down the spa surface with a non-abrasive spa surface cleaner that may be purchased through your local spa dealer. Do not use paper towels. Be sure to rinse residue from spa surface.
MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS StainleSS Steel Master Spas uses stainless steel in a number of our spas. Its lasting beauty and resistance to corrosion make it an excellent material for handrails and jets faces. With the proper care it will keep its luster for many years. All stainless steel can corrode given the right circumstances so we have provided a guide to help you keep the stainless components in your spa looking nice.
WINTERIZING YOUR SPA Many people find they enjoy using their spa more in the winter than any other time. Your spa is designed to be used year round in any type of climate. * However, if you decide you don’t want to use your spa in the winter, you must drain it and follow the winterizing steps listed below: 1. Drain your spa completely using the drain valve (see “To Drain Your Spa”) or use an inexpensive submersible pump that you can buy from your dealer or your local hardware store. 2.
