surfaces when each metal surface is permanently earth bonded. Do not permit any external electrical appliances, such as a lights, telephone, radio, television and etc., within 5 feet (1.5m) of the hot tub. Never attempt to operate any electrical device from inside the hot tub. WARNING -- TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY The hot tub water should never exceed 40˚C (104˚F). Water temperatures between 38˚C (100˚F) and 40˚C are considered safe for a healthy adult.
• Failure to recognize the need to exit hot tub • Unawareness of impending hazard • Foetal damage in pregnant women • Physical inability to exit the hot tub • Unconsciousness WARNING: The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia. AVOID RISKS OF BURNS • Before entering a hot tub, measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of temperature-regulating devices may vary by as much as ±5°F (2°C).
General Hot Tub Tub Guidelines Your new hot tub is meant to be enjoyable, healthful and relaxing. The following operating and maintenance instructions are very important and must be followed carefully. • Always check the water temperature by hand before entering your hot tub. High water temperatures can be hazardous to your health. • Children should not use hot tubs without adult supervision. • Do not use your hot tub alone. • Keep all glass and other breakables away from the hot tub area.
• Covered hot tubs use less electricity while maintaining a set temperature. • Covering your hot tub will protect your hot tub's finish from the sun's ultraviolet rays. • You are required to keep the hot tub covered to maintain warranty coverage. • Covering and locking your hot tub helps prevent children from drowning in the hot tub. Your new hot tub comes equipped with an electric heater.
WARNING: DO NOT USE SALT, SOFTENED or HARD WATER IN YOUR HOT TUB! Refer to the following pictures for an explanation of your hot tub's controls, components, and technical terms. Please note that not all models have the features and components as shown in the following pictures.
Feature Operations DIVERTER VALVE Your hot tub is equipped with a diverter valve (See Figure 2). This valve can be used to divert jet power from one area in the hot tub to another area. This valve is fully adjustable and can be used to suit the user's desired effect. The valve may be slightly harder to turn when the water pump is operating. This is normal due to high rate of water flow and pressure present in the valve.
inside wall to fall into the body of water in the hot tub. Multi-Color of HOT TUB Light This feature allows the hot tub owner to retain a favorite color operation mode. There are 13 modes.
Draining Your Hot tub Your hot tub needs to be drained, cleaned, and refilled approximately every 4 - 6 weeks. For heavier hot tub use or if the water has been contaminated you may wish to change the water more frequently. The following is the recommended method for draining your hot tub. 1) Turn off the power to your hot tub at the isolation switch. NOTE: Do not leave an empty hot tub exposed for long periods of time in hot and sunny weather.
3) Grasp the hose bib cap and turn it counterclockwise. The hose bib fitting will then be able to be pulled out slightly and the cap can be removed. Attach a garden hose to the end of hose bib and allow the water to drain away from your hot tub. It will take most hot tubs 3-4 hours to drain using the hose bib. 4) When all water has been evacuated, turn the hose bib fitting clockwise until it stops. Remove the garden hose, and then screw the cap onto the end of hose bib.
Filling & ReRe-Starting Your Hot tub FILLING YOUR SPA WITH WATER Caution: DO NOT fill your hot tub with hot water straight out of your water heater or tap. This water may be as hot as 82.2˚C (180˚F) and will cause damage to the surface and plumbing of the hot tub. This will void your warranty. Now it's time to fill your hot tub with water. Do not turn on the power to the hot tub until your hot tub is completely filled.
7) Turn off the hose, and then verify there are no leaks at the pump unions during filling your hot tub. 8) Reinstall the filter cartridge and basket into the filter canister. TURNING THE POWER ON WARNING: Do not turn on any pump until your hot tub is properly filled with water.
water through the circulation pump. If there is no water flowing from the jets, the pumps need to be primed to eliminate air lock. Caution: Make sure that all pumps are free of air locks when power is turned on. When filling your hot tub for the first time or, after draining and refilling your hot tub, E6 error message may appear on the LCD display of topside control panel. Please be advised that air locking of the pumps may occur in this case. This is uncommon, but you need to bleed air from the pumps.
Hot tub Care and Maintenance FILTER CLEANING Your new hot tub has been designed for quick and easy filter maintenance. On initial start-up, the filter should be cleaned every other day for the first two weeks of operation. We recommend the filter to be cleaned once a week to avoid a decrease in jet performance. We also recommend having an extra replacement filter on hand, which is to install when cleaning the filter.
CARE FOR HOT TUB COVER Proper care and cleaning of your hot tub cover is an important part of routine maintenance. Dirt acts as an abrasive to the vinyl topcoat of hot tub cover, and can also cause wear to folds, seams, and stitching. Mildew growing on damp, dirty vinyl will begin to actually rot the fabric, accelerating failure. Your cover will last much longer if you heed the following suggestions: 1) Rinse the vinyl topcoat with cool water.
CARE FOR PILLOWS Remove and clean the pillows with water and a soft cloth when needed. Use an approved vinyl conditioner once a month. Remove pillows when doing chemical shock treatment. WARNING: Do not use non approved oil-based vinyl protectants on the pillows. These products will cause severe water clarity issues that are difficult to correct. CARE FOR JETS We recommend that you clean your jets when you drain your hot tub.
Caution: NOTE: Do not use any abrasive cleaners or chemicals. Do not use any alcohol or acetone to clean the surface. To avoid the surface cracking, please don’t leave hot tub shell in direct sunlight. Failure to comply with the above will void your warranty. CARE FOR HOT TUB CABINET Your hot tub comes with a beautiful wood-looking WeatherGuard™ synthetic cabinet. This synthetic cabinet requires little or no maintenance of any kind.
energy and chemical consumption. WATER TREATMENT CHEMICALS Caution: Shoreline Hydrotherapy offer long warranties on the hot tub shell and equipment due to the varying quality of water treatment and cleaning chemicals on the market.
