Service Guide
1. Refer to Balboa controls guide (in the back of this manual) and be familiar with the keypad operations.
2. To connect the heater to 220 volts refer to the directions on the inside cover of the Balboa Spa control pack in the Spa side
compartment.
3. Spa cover must be closed for the Spa to heat up. Heating time depends on air temperature but generally a Tuff Spa will
take 24 to 48 hours to heat up on 110v. The Spa will automatically cycle on for 2 hours each day for filtration. Jets must
all be open when the Spa is not used for proper heating and filtration. The Spa pump will continue to run until reaching
the set temperature.
The spa is equipped for 220 volts conversion for faster heating if desired.
4. Use a dedicated circuit (20 Amp recommended for all spas) within the 15’ cord distance.
5. The Spa cord has a G.F.I. protection device, if it repeatedly trips, disconnect the plug from the receptacle until the fault
has been identified and corrected.
6. If an extension cord is used, it must be as short as possible and at least 10 gage. Inferior cords will cause Spa controls to
mal-function and Void your equipment warranty.
7. The heating Spa will cause condensation to form on the outside and bottom of the Spa and can be reason to believe the Spa
is leaking. Small apparent leaks should be given a few days before further investigation is started. Condensation on the
cover underside may drip down the Spa sides.
8. The Spa pump motor has an automatic high temperature shut off switch. If the motor stops it will auto start when it
cools.
9. Leaks can occur if a Jet body is not properly tightened. If a leak is suspected, remove the panel with a screwdriver. The
insulation covering the jets are foam blocks which are easily taken out for seat jet access. If a jet is leaking and does not
stop with tightening than back off the nut and apply a silicone sealant.
10. Other tubing, manifolds, valves, etc. can be accessed throughout the Spa by removing other panels.
11. In the unlikely event that the shell develops a hole, it can be sealed only by melting the plastic into the hole. This is best
done carefully using an electric soldering iron to soften the surrounding plastic and work it into the hole. Spa must be
thoroughly dry before applying the heat, so that there will be no steam formed as it will limit the temperature to 212 F, not
hot enough. Do not attempt to apply glues, fiberglass, caulking or other patches as the Spa shell is made of polyethylene
which cannot be glued.
