Introduction Your choice of a Moonlight Spas™ hot tub indicates that you are devoted to excellence. The management and staff appreciate your patronage and takes pride in the tradition of quality hot tubs that our company represents. To properly acquaint yourself with your hot tub, we suggest that you take time to read through this manual before hook up and operation. Doing so will familiarize you with important operating and safety procedures, thereby ensuring an enjoyable experience right from the start.
Important Safety Information IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Your physiological response to hot water depends on subjective factors such as age, health, pregnant women, temperature sensitivities, chemical sensitivities, and medical history. Always consult a physician before using a hot tub to understand your particular tolerance and limitations.
Warnings TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY: The water in a spa should never exceed 40˚C (104˚F). Water temperatures between 38˚C (100˚F) and 40˚C (104˚F) are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended for young children and when spa use exceeds 10 minutes. Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during the early months of pregnancy, pregnant or possible pregnant women should limit spa water temperatures to 38˚C (100˚F).
Warning Sign Warning Sign Must Be Posted – The red WARNING sign like the one shown is packed with your new hot tub. This sign must be posted in a prominent place in close proximity to the hot tub installation site immediately upon completion of hot tub installation. Important: It is extremely important that this sign be permanently placed in clear view of persons using the hot tub.
Persons under the influence of medication, drugs, or alcohol should not be allowed into your hot tub. Remove all jewelry, metal, and watches from your person before entering your hot tub. Do not allow children to use your hot tub without continuous supervision of an adult. Do not use your hot tub alone. Test the ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) breaker prior to using your hot tub each time to ensure it operates properly.
Site Selection and Installation Proper planning is an important consideration when installing your new hot tub. Site selection is a critical step and requires serious thought. Planning ahead makes the installation process easier. The following information is provided to assist you in site preparations. 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) 9) Always comply with local building codes and obtain any necessary permits. You may also need to consult with an engineer to address your specific design needs.
The following dimensions can be used to determine the proper location of submerged conduits in concrete slab installations. All dimensions are made from the outside of the hot tub’s frame with the access panels removed. The topside control panel is shown at bottom of diagram for reference.
Electrical Specifications Important – Qualified and licensed electricians must perform all electrical hookups. The following specifications must be followed in order to ensure proper performance and safety. WARNING: Starting an incorrectly wired hot tub could cause severe damage to the mechanical equipment or even bodily harm. Have your licensed electrician verify GFCI (or RCD) wiring with the diagrams on pages 10-18 prior to starting the hot tub or call the technical support line at 727.573.9611.
Parts with extra low voltage not exceeding 12v must be inaccessible to a person in the hot tub. Earthed appliances must be permanently connected to fixed wiring. Parts incorporating electrical components, except remote control devices, must be located or fixed so that they cannot fall into the hot tub. Means for disconnection must be used in fixed wiring in accordance with wiring rules.

Startup Important – Read these step-by-step startup procedures before starting your hot tub. Failure to follow any of these steps listed may result in damage to the equipment and may void your warranty. Note: If you are unsure of any of the above startup procedures, please call our customer care center, at 727.573.9611. For best results, read each step in its entirety before proceeding.
Before Adding Water Before adding water, go through these simple steps now to prevent common issues when setting up your hot tub for the first time. Verify that the following have all been rechecked. 1. Turn off all power to the hot tub at the main breaker panel. 2. Open the side panels to access the internal components. 3. Check that all slide valves are opened (Thandles pulled out) to the heater and all pumps. 4. Check that there are no obvious signs of loose wires or broken pipes.
Filling Your Hot Tub Now it's time to fill your hot tub with water. Do not turn on the electricity yet until the hot tub is completely filled. To properly fill your hot tub: 1. Make sure that the filters (in the filtration canister) are gently screwed into place. Turn them clockwise until they stop being careful not to over-tighten them (this avoids cracking the filter). 2. Connect a standard garden hose to a faucet with regular cold tap water (not softened water or hot water).
1. Turn on the breaker and test the operation of the Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) breaker by pushing the small button. This should automatically trip the hot tub's circuit breaker. DANGER: If this breaker does not trip, immediately call your electrician. Do not use your hot tub! Only if pushing this button successfully trips this circuit breaker should you reset this breaker and proceed to the next step. 2. Go to the topside control panel.
Water Balancing Note: Perform water balancing weekly and whenever your water is changed (or when the hot tub is first filled) to assure proper water condition. Once your hot tub reaches 95ºF, use our Bromine Test Strips (not included) and add the necessary chemicals (not included) to stabilize your water chemistry. Turn Pump 1 on high speed before starting your tests to distribute chemicals evenly. Wait 5 minutes between measurements to allow added chemicals to mix thoroughly.
Topside Control Programming Instructions VL600S Figure 20 – Topside Callouts for VL600S Controls Initial Start Up When your hot tub is first actuated, it will go into Priming mode, indicated by “Pr.” The priming mode will last for less than five minutes. Press “WARM” or “COOL” to skip Priming Mode and then the hot tub will begin to heat and maintain the temperature in “Standard Mode.” Warm/Cool Buttons (Set Temperatures between 80°F - 104°F / 26°C - 40°C) The startup temperature is set at 100°F/37°C.
15 minutes and the low speed of Pump 1 automatically will turn off after 4 hours. The low speed of Pump 1 runs when the “AUX” Blower (if equipped) is on. It may also active for at least two minutes every half hour to detect the hot tub temperature and then to heat to the set temperature if needed (depending on mode). When the low speed turns on automatically, it cannot be deactivated from the panel, however the high speed may be activated.
If the system (sensor located inside heater) detects ambient conditions below 44ºF/6.7ºC, it automatically enters the Smart Winter Mode for period of four minutes after it detects the hot tub temperature has risen to 45ºF/7.2ºC. Programming Summary Figure 21 – VL600S Programming Summary Page 26 For HELP, call 727.573.
Cover Place the insulated cover on your hot tub. Keeping the cover in place anytime the hot tub is not in use reduces the heating time and minimizes operating costs. The time required for initial heat-up varies depending on the starting water temperature, ambient temperature, and the capacity of your hot tub. Figure 22 - Cover Callouts 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
