TESTING AND TREATING THE WATER
The first time you use the spa, you should test and
treat the water.
You must also treat the water each
time you refill the spa.
A test strip and a chemical
pack are available at your local pool and spa store.
Follow the directions carefully on the chemical pack to
test and treat the water. Always keep the chemicals
away from children and pets.
See WATER CHEMISTRY on page 17 for information
concerning proper water maintenance.
STARTING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA
You should always test the GFCI before using the
hydrotherapy spa. First, turn on the spa. Press the
blower button on the console (see USING THE CON-
TROLS on page 14). Once the spa is running, press
the GFCI “test” button. The spa should shut off. Press
the “reset” button. The spa should resume normal
operation. If the spa continues to run after the “test”
button is pressed, the GFCI is damaged. Do not use
the spa until the GFCI has been repaired or replaced
by a qualified electrician.
Once you have tested the GFCI, verify that water is
flowing from the jets. Set the air controls to the lowest
s
etting (see USING THE CONTROLS on page 14).
Cover the hydrotherapy spa with the spa cover. The
s
pa cover must be tight
(
see SECURING THE SPA
COVER ON THE SPA on this page). The water will
heat at about 6°F per hour with the cover on. If you
are using the spa indoors, and the room temperature
is maintained at 70°F, it will take approximately 6 to 8
hours for the water to reach the set temperature.
The temperature and the water flow can be set or
changed with the controls on the console (see USING
THE CONTROLS on page 14).
SECURING THE SPA COVER ON THE SPA
To secure the spa cover,
snap the latches on the
spa cover into the buckles
on the panels. To lock the
buckles, insert the key and
turn it clockwise 1/4 turn.
To unlock the buckles,
insert the key and turn it
counterclockwise 1/4 turn.
Always keep the buckles
locked when the spa is
not in use. Keep the
keys in a safe place, out
of the reach of children.
