I Installation Instructions Location Pr eparation Your Saratoga Spa is totally self-contained and portable.You can install the spa outside or inside. Preferable places are on a patio, deck or indoors.The spa should always be placed on a structurally strong, level surface. Other items you need to consider are the following: • Verify that the location chosen can support the weight of the spa, the water of the spa and its occupants.
E Electrical Requir ements and Pr ecautions: Your Saratoga Spa has gone through numerous tests to verify that all the spas functions operate. Beyond the tests, your Saratoga Spa has been designed to provide the maximum safety against electrical shock. Read and follow the electrical installation requirements and instructions completely.The next few pages will assist you in properly connecting the electrical input. Follow the electrical instructions for your specific spa model.
Note: The GFCI breaker must be placed in sight of the spa, at a minimum distance of five feet (1.5m) away. Note: As of January 1, 1996 the National Electric Code (NEC) requires GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) on all spa installations.
110 / 220 Volt Convertible Models - Polo - Adelphi - Putnam 110 Volt Electrical Requir ements: The above models are manufactured with the SC-MP 110V/220V convertible spa pack.The units are factory wired for 220 Volt applications with 4 kW heater operation.The models can be converted for 110 Volt applications and to run with a 1 kW heater operation. The 110 Volt models must be connected to a “dedicated” 110 Volt 20Amp grounded circuit.
Before servicing the spa, make sure all power to the spa is disconnected. Follow the following instructions for a successful electrical installation. 1. Unscrew the screws on the front access panel. 2. Carefully pull access panel towards you (away from spa) and pull upward. Set access panel aside. 3. Locate the blue SC-MP 110V/220V spa control box. Loosen the screws on the front of the control box. Lift the control box cover upward and the terminal block will be exposed. 4.
I Initial Operating Instructions: Start-Up and Refill Pr ocedur es Your Saratoga Spa has been tested at the manufacturing plant to ensure that all the spas functions operate. During the test procedure, a small amount of water may have remained in the spas plumbing.Through the shipping process water may have spotted the spas shell.You may need to wipe down the shell with a soft cloth. Please read and follow the start-up instructions to ensure a successful start-up or refill.
Start-up Pr ocedur es 1. For a successful start-up, fill the spa with water through the Whisper Clean® cartridge.The Whisper Clean® cartridge is the cartridge with the coarse threaded yellow ACME style adapter. a. Locate the filter compartment area. Note: The Lincoln model uses three filters. b. Pull up and remove filter cover. c. Remove the filter cartridge and screen adapter by turning them counter clockwise. d.
4. At this point, turn power on to the spa control system by turning on the GFCI breaker.The MSPA operations center will begin heating the spa to the factory set temperature of 95ºF (35ºC). 5. The next step is to check that the jet system(s) are operational. Press on the Jet(s) button to turn on the pump(s). A strong force of water flowing through the jets indicates the pump(s) are primed. Weak or surging jet(s) indicates the pump(s) still need to be primed (see Troubleshooting section). 6.

S Spa Car e and Maintenance General Information Your Saratoga Spa is manufactured from the highest quality, most durable materials available today.We recommend that a spa maintenance program be followed.The care you take will ultimately determine how long your spa or its individual components will last.This section will help you maintain your investment.
Filter System Saratoga Spas are equipped with two standard filter cartridges, except on the Empire and Broadway, which have two long filters and the Lincoln which has three standard filters. As with any filtering system, the filter cartridges may become clogged with particles, body oils or calcification resulting in poor water quality and reduced water flow. It is important to maintain a clean, unobstructed filtering system.
3. To reinstall the spa pillow, carefully bend the pillow slightly to allow the pins to slip into the pin retainer on the spa shell. 4. Keeping the pillow slightly bent, slide the other pins (opposite end) onto the pin retainer on the spa shell. 5. After all the pillow pins are in place, press the pillow down into the recess in the spa shell. Important: Just pulling the pillow straight up, and out of the shell recess, will eventually damage the pillow. This abuse is not covered under warranty.
Important reminders: • DO unlock and release all cover locks before attempting to open cover. • DO remove snow buildup to avoid damage of the foam core from the additional weight of the snow (not covered under warranty). • DO lock cover lock straps to secure the cover when the spa is not in use. • DO NOT drag or lift the spa cover using either the flaps, or the cover tie downs. • DO NOT walk, stand, or sit on the cover.
Important: Do not use ethylene glycol based antifreeze. This type of antifreeze is toxic and can damage the spa surface. 11. Place the vacuum hose down the filter cartridge openings and vacuum up any water from filter compartment. 12. Disconnect the unions at the circulation pump from both the return and suction side of pump. 13. Remove circulation pump. 14. Vacuum up both suction and return side of the circulation pump. 15. Reverse vacuum and blow out each side of circulation pump.
W Water Quality Maintenance General Information As the owner of a spa, endless hours of entertainment, recreation, and relaxation await you. Caring for your spa will become a routine and pleasant part of your daily activities.You will be able to maintain your spa water and keep your spa equipment in excellent condition.To do so you first must balance your spa’s water. Balanced Water Balanced water ensures spa bathers’ safety as well as protecting the spa heater and components from corrosion.
Example: At low total alkalinity levels, the water’s pH easily drifts, making frequent pH adjustments necessary and the added expense of multiple chemical treatments. On the other hand, a high total alkalinity level keeps the waters pH rigidly fixed. If pH adjustment is necessary, you will need unusually large amounts of treatment chemicals to change the water’s pH. RECOMMENDED RANGE - 80 to 120 PARTS PER MILLION (PPM) Potential Problems: 1. 2. pH difficult to maintain.
Shock Treatment with Granular Disinfectant Adding granular chlorine or bromine disinfectant to the water in amounts much larger than normal is called “shocking” the spa and should not be confused with non-chlorine shock. An occasional shock treatment destroys algae, bacteria, and chloramines. After shocking your spa, do not allow bathers to enter the spa until disinfectant levels drop to normal. What Causes Loss of Disinfectant? • Algae: The presence of algae will consume large amounts of disinfectant.
O Operations Tr ouble Sho oting Guide Problem Probable Cause Solutions Spa is not operating • Power failure • Check power source • GFCI breaker tripped • Try resetting GFCI breaker. If breaker continues to trip, contact your dealer. • Heater Hi-Limit tripped • Check for dirty filters. Check to see if circulation pump is air locked.
Operations Tr ouble Sho oting Guide Cont...
Indoor Mode: When the water temperature is 2ºF greater than set temperature the circulation pump and ozone generator will turn off for 3 hours. After 3 hours the circulation pump and ozone generator will turn on again for 1 hour but pump 1 will not operate in the indoor mode.This cycle will keep repeating.When the circulation pump and ozone generator are off,“SSEt” and the water temperature are alternately displayed on the panel (SSEt=summer setting).
S Service and Warranty Information General Service Information Your Saratoga spa has been designed to provide years of trouble-free use. As with any appliance, problems may occasionally occur that require the expertise of a qualified service person.Though such simple repairs as resetting a GFCI switch or breaker, resetting a high limit thermostat or replacing a light bulb may not require a service call, they may indicate that a more serious condition exists.
