that your spa is plugged into. Your 230 volt spa’s subpanel is rain tight when installed correctly with the door closed. Leave access to the equipment compartment for periodic spa care and maintenance. The spa should be placed a minimum of 3 feet from all structures to allow access to all sides for servicing and repair. If the spa cannot be serviced and repaired due to un-accessibility of sides, it is the customer’s obligation to have tub drained, moved, and placed in an accessible site.
Filling: Water level is centered in area of weir door or 1 inch above extended skimmer opening. Never fill past the recommended level. Check to see if all slice valves are open. The slice valves should have the handles pulled out as far as possible when open. The drain bib should be closed and drain cap installed. Fill your spa with water by removing you filter lid (all models may not have a lid) and place the garden hose into the filter housing.
General Maintenance Every two to five months, depending on frequency of use, drain your spa, clean with spa multi-purpose cleaner (found in your chemical maintenance kit) and polish with a silicone sealant polish. To temporarily remove foam, apply anti-foaming agent to foamy areas. To correct the condition, be sure the water is balanced. Be sure to add a metal build up inhibitor each time you are refilling your spa. Shock treat the water with a non-chlorine shock each week.
Electrical Requirements and Servicing The Spa shall be hooked up by a licensed electrician and observing all municipal codes. Codes may vary from state to state. Check with a local electrician to find out wiring requirements for your area. Minimum specifications: A # 6/3 wire ( this is a 4 wire system as the ground wire is not referred to) making up a #6 Black (hot), a #6 Red (hot), a #6 White (neutral), and a #6 Green (ground).

Select the power supply inlet you want to use and remove the cabinet panel from the front of the spa to allow you to feed the cable through to the control box. Install the cable with connectors through the conduit. 10.
Care of the Exterior Spa Shell Your spa shell is made of acrylic. Stains and dirt generally will not adhere to the surface. Using a soft rag or a nylon scrubber should easily remove most dirt. Most household chemicals are harmful to your spa’s shell. See your dealer for the best product to use. The only products which have passed the manufacture’s test are Soft Scrub and Windex. Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) can also be used for minor surface cleaning.
Chemicals Chemicals are used to sanitize the water and to balance the pH level. This is done to maintain clear and sanitary water at all times. When the water chemistry is out of balance, a number of things can happen: many types of bacteria form inside the warm waters of your spa and inside the plumbing and fittings. For this reason, the sanitized level must be constantly monitored and adjusted. The pH level affects how well the sanitizer works and the acidity level of the water. The closer to 7.
Ozonator First discovered in the 1840’s, ozone has been used to treat drinking water for more than 90 years. Then in 1937, the Mohawk Cruiser Swim & Tennis Club in Bryam, NJ became the first commercial swimming pool in the United States to utilize an ozone-only oxidation and disinfecting system. Despite its long history of use as a drinking water oxidizer and sanitizer, ozone has only seen significant use in pools and spas in the U.S. in the last 15 to 20 years.
What Does Ozone Do? Ozone destroys bacteria, viruses, mold and mildew. Ozone eliminates spores, cysts, yeast, and fungus. Ozone eliminates oils and other contaminants in water. Ozone keeps water clean and sparkling clear. Ozone keeps water fresh. CARE OF THE SPA PILLOWS The spa pillows will provide years of comfort if treated with care. They have been positioned above the water level to minimize the bleaching effects of chlorinated water and other spa water chemicals.
DO’S AND DON’TS DO Add all chemicals slowly with the hydro jets operating in high speed. DO Use care when handling chemicals. DO Store granulated chlorine in a cool, dry place to maintain the chlorine’s freshness. Granulated chlorine will degrade if stored improperly or for a long period of time. Do not store in sunlight. DO Maintain total alkalinity level within the recommended range of 80 to 120 ppm. The calcium hardness level should be maintained in the 120 to 250 ppm range.
care products can cause damage to spa and equipment. DO NOT Allow anyone to be in the spa while chemicals are being added or are dissolving. DO NOT Use incorrect products such as Trichlor, which has a very low pH (2.6), dissolves very slowly, is highly concentrated, and was designed for concrete or plaster swimming pools. It will cause damage to your spa! DO NOT Use the spa for long periods of time at temperatures over 104°F(40 C). DO NOT Operate the spa without water.
