INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Site Selection/Preparation The spa must be installed on a structurally strong, solid and reasonably level surface.The site should allow for drainage away from the equipment compartment in which the electrical components are housed. Take into account the following when considering prospective sites: LOCAL CODES: There may be certain restrictions and/or requirements that are particular to your locality. DELIVERY PASSAGEWAY: Doors, halls, stairs, etc.
Getting Started: NOTE: For best results, read each step carefully and entirely before proceeding to the next. FILL YOUR SPA Wipe the interior of the spa with a damp, soft cloth to remove any residue that may be on the surface. Fill with a garden hose. As the spa is filling check in the equipment access area for any leaks. On occasion, it may be necessary to hand tighten a union fitting that may have come loose during transit.
CONTROLS & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS This new electronic system control provides reliability, user settings, and simple operation at the touch of a button. PROGRAMMING YOUR SPA Note that this electronic system comes ready with factory defaults that will filter and heat to a preset temperature of 102º F. To program your new spa controller, follow the simple steps below: 1.) Hold down the PROG button for 5 seconds. Note the display will start to flash 102 F. Then release the button. 2.
SPECIAL FEATURES: AUTOMATIC FILTRATION: This spa is set to filter your water anytime the Jet/Pump is running. AUTO HEAT: Heat is generat ed and transferred into the wat er by capturing the heat emitting from the motor. This economical transference of heat will continue until the desired temperature is achieved. The spa control system will monitor the water temperature twenty-four hours a day and will cycle the jet/pump on and off whenever the need for heat is called for.
SPA MAINTENANCE Your spa is manufactured with the highest quality and most durable materials available. A spa care and maintenance program is recommended to increase your comfort, maintain the spa’s reliability and protect your investment. 1) DRAINING YOUR SPA De te rg e nt residues from bathing suits as well as soap film from your body may gradually accumulate in the water. Foam inhibitors will suppress the foam but will not remove the soap from the water.
3) FILTER MAINTENANCE Maintenance is the most critical factor in keeping your spa water clean. To clean the filter: NEVER RUN SPA WITHOUT FILTER A. Remove the cartridge and spray it with a garden hose. It will be necessary to rotate the cartridge while spraying so as to thoroughly remove the debris lodged between the filter pleats. B. After allowing to dry, inspect the cartridge for calcium deposit (scaling) or an oil film.
6) CARE OF ACRYLIC SURFACE To maintain the surface of your spa, simply clean with a soft damp cloth (a mild detergent is okay) or with any glass cleaner. DO NOT clean the surface with any type of abrasive as it will dull the surface and natural luster of the acrylic. DO NOT use any type of oil based solvent. Such products can be very harmful to the surface of the spa and will void the surface warranty of the spa. 7) CARE OF SPA PILLOWS The spa pillows will provide years of comfort if treated with care.

There is no one formula to be followed because of the variables, i.e. quality of the water used to fill the spa, water temperature user load, etc.
