The hydrotherapy spa is designed to seat seven adults. The spa holds approximately 375 gallons of water and offers a heating system (80??F to 104??F), a filtration system, and adjustable hydrotherapy jets. Follow the guidelines below to use and maintain the spa for your long-term enjoyment.

WIRING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA

The hydrotherapy spa is designed to operate with a 240 volt AC power source. It must be wired directly into a grounded circuit with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) capable of carrying 45 amps. No other appliance should be on the same circuit. Test the GFCI before connecting the power cord to the spa. Connection of the spa to the 240 volt power source must be performed by a qualified, licensed electrician and must comply with all local, state, and federal electrical codes. Please refer to the instructions on the inside of the controller for informa- tion about connecting the spa to a 240 volt power source.

Once the spa is filled with water, the power can be turned on. Note: If this is the first time the spa has been turned on, or if the pumps have been drained, the pumps must be primed before the spa can be used.

PRIMING THE PUMPS

To prime the pumps, follow the steps below.

1.Remove the access panel (see ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE ACCESS PANEL on page 17).

2.Make sure all of the valves in the plumbing system are open to allow as much air as possible to escape from the plumbing and the controller dur- ing the filling process. Fill the spa to the level shown in step 5 on page 9. Use towels to soak up any water that leaks from the plumbing and pumps during the priming process.

3.Loosen the indi-

cated collar on one of the pumps

to vent the air from the pump.

Repeat for the

other pump. Allow a small

amount of water

and air to escape from the pumps and related plumbing. Then, retighten the collars.

4.Turn the power on. The spa will begin an auto- matic priming sequence.

A countdown from ???005??? to ???000??? will appear in the display of the console.

Once the countdown has reached ???000,??? ???Pr??? will be displayed. ???Pr??? indicates that the controller is in the two-pump priming mode. This mode will last

for four to five minutes.

5.As soon as ???Pr??? is displayed, push pump button 1 once to start the pump on low speed and then push the button again to switch to high speed. Repeat for pump button 2.

If water is not flowing from the jets after two min- utes, turn the power off. Important: Do not allow the pumps to run without priming for more than two minutes. Under no circumstances allow a pump to run without priming beyond the end of the four to five minute priming mode. Doing so may cause damage to the pump and cause the spa to go into an overheat condition.

Repeat the process of venting the air from the pumps and the controller and priming the pumps until water flows from the jets.

6.When the priming sequence is completed, the spa will automatically return to the normal heating and filtering mode. During the priming process, the heater is disabled to allow the pumps to be primed without activating the heater under low flow or no flow conditions.

Once the pumps are primed, push pump button 1 and pump button 2 to turn the pumps off.

7.The console will display ???100F??? and then ???--F,??? for approximately one minute. The spa requires one minute of water flowing through the heater to determine the water temperature.

8.After one minute, the current temperature of the water will be displayed. Push the temperature up or down button to set the temperature of the water. If the water temperature is below the set temperature, the heat indicator light will turn on to show that the water is now being heated.

The controller will automatically heat the water and all of the features of the console will be avail- able. To use the console, see USING THE CON- TROLS on page 13

9.Remove the towels and re-attach the access panel (see ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE ACCESS Panel on page 17).

TESTING AND TREATING THE WATER

Once you have tested the GFCI, verify that water is flowing from the jets. Set the air controls to the lowest setting (see USING THE CONTROLS on page 13). Cover the hydrotherapy spa with the spa cover. The spa 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 13).

SECURING THE SPA COVER ON THE SPA

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 16 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 jet button on the console (see USING THE CONTROLS on page 12). Once the spa is running, press the GFCI ???test??? button. The spa should shut off. Press the ???reset??? button. The spa should resume normal opera- tion. 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.

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.

Q.The waterfall valve turns the waterfall off and on.

Air Control 1 determines the amount of air flowing through the hydrotherapy jets labeled 1 in the drawing above. If the control is turned counterclockwise, the amount of air will increase; if the control is turned clockwise, the amount of air will decrease. Air controls 2, 3, and 4 function in the same manner.

Air Controls 2, 3, and 4 determine the amount of air flowing through the hydrotherapy jets labeled 2, 3, and 4 in the drawing above.

The Mode Button switches the console between Standard, Economy, and Sleep modes.

???Standard Mode maintains the desired temperature. Note: The last measured temperature displayed is

Pump Button 1 controls the spa jets labeled 3 and 4 in the drawing at the left. If the button is pressed once, the jets will run, providing gentle hydrotherapy. If the button is pressed again, the jets will shut off.

Pump Button 2 controls the spa jets labeled 1 and 2 in the drawing at the left. If the button is pressed once, the jets will run, providing soothing hydrothera- py. If the button is pressed again, the jets will shut off. The spa also features an automatic mode that heats and filters the water when the spa is left unattended. When the power to the spa is first turned on, or if the water temperature is below the set temperature, the water will be heated as required. Note: To keep the filter and heat cycles from running, the power to the spa must be turned off.

The Light Button turns the underwater light on and off.

The Temperature Buttons control the temperature set- ting of the water. The temperature setting can be from 80??F to 104??F. The water heats at about 6??F per hour with the cover on. Use a medical or other accurate thermometer to check the temperature of the water. Note: The word ???COOL??? will appear in the console display if the temperature of the water is more than

20??F cooler than the set temperature. When this hap- pens, the heater will automatically activate to warm the water. The word ???ICE??? will appear in the display if the temperature drops below 40??F. If this happens, the pump will automatically circulate the water and warm the plumbing to keep the water from freezing.

The Blower Button turns the ten air injectors, labeled 6 in the small drawing on page 13, on and off.

Maintenance

The hydrotherapy spa is designed to provide years of enjoyment. Please follow the guidelines below to properly maintain your spa.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

Daily

???Check the water level and refill the spa to the level shown in step 5 on page 9.

???Check the pH balance and sanitizer level. Make adjustments if necessary (see WATER CHEM- ISTRY on page 16).

Weekly

MAINTAINING THE SPA COVER

The spa cover should be cleaned monthly. To clean the spa cover, use water and a non-abrasive cleaner on the entire cover. Rinse the cover with a garden hose to remove any cleaner residue. Dry the cover entirely. Use a non-silicone-based vinyl conditioner on the cover after you clean it. This will help protect the cover from sun damage.

CHECKING AND CLEANING THE FILTER

The filter should be checked periodically for build-up of dirt and oil. If the filter needs to be cleaned, follow the steps below:

Monthly

???Clean the spa cover (see MAINTAINING THE SPA COVER on this page).

???Soak the filter for two hours in a trisodium phos- phate (TSP) solution. Rinse the filter in clean water.

???Replace the filter if needed (see ORDERING REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover of this manual).

Every Three Months

???Drain the spa and refill it with clean water. Sanitize and test the pH of the water.

???Check for any leaks around the pump or joints in the pipes. The seals will wear out over time; detect- ing leaks early can reduce repair costs.

???Clean the interior of the spa. Do not use solvents or waxes.

MAINTAINING THE SPA EXTERIOR

The surround is maintenance free. The surround should be cleaned with a mild soap solution; do not use solvents or waxes.

CLEANING THE SPA SHELL

WATER CHEMISTRY

Maintaining the pH level of the water is very important to the operation of the spa. To maintain the proper pH level and to sanitize the spa, you can purchase a chemical starter kit from your local pool and spa sup- ply store.

CAUTION: The chemicals used to maintain the pH balance of the water and to sanitize the water can be dangerous. Always follow these basic guide- lines when handling the chemicals:

1.Always read and follow the directions on the label, unless directed otherwise.

2.Never mix different chemicals.

3.Do not exceed the recommended amounts of chemicals???follow the directions on the label.

4.Keep all chemicals out of the reach of children and pets.

5.Keep all containers closed tightly when not in use.

6.Never add water to the chemicals???always add the chemicals to the water as directed.

7.Always store chemicals in a cool, dry place.

MAINTAINING THE PROPER PH BALANCE

The pH factor is a measure of the relative acidity or alkalinity in the water, and is measured on a scale of 1 to 14. Pure water has a value of 7, which is neutral. Any value above 7 is alkaline, and any value below 7 is acidic. You should maintain a slightly alkaline pH level, between 7.2 and 7.8, in the hydrotherapy spa.

Severe problems can occur when the pH balance is not maintained within this range. If the pH level exceeds 7.8, dissolved minerals can build up and clog the plumbing in the spa jet unit. If the pH level falls below 7.2, the acid level in the water will begin to cor- rode the metal parts in the spa jet unit. Also, the sani- tation agents in the water will not be effective if the pH level is not properly maintained. Damage caused by improper pH levels is not covered under the warranty.

To maintain the proper pH level, test the pH of the water regularly. To test the water, purchase a pH test kit at a pool and spa supply store. The pH reading should be between 7.2 and 7.8. If the level is too low, add a pH increaser (usually soda ash). If the level is too high, add a pH reducer (usually sodium bisulfate). Test the water again after five minutes. See the instructions with your pH test kit for additional infor- mation about testing and adjusting the pH.

SANITIZING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA

The most common sanitizing agent is a solid bromine concentrate. The amount required varies according to several factors, such as user load, temperature, and water conditions. Proper water maintenance is a com- plex process. Contact your local pool and spa supplier for information concerning which chemicals you should use in your area to sanitize the spa.

CHANGING THE FILTER CYCLE

The spa will filter the water every 12 hours. The dura- tion of the cycle can be adjusted to last 2, 4, 6, or 8 hours or run indefinitely. Press the temperature up or temperature down button on the console. When the display begins to flash, press pump button 1. The dis- play will read ???F2.??? To change the time, press the temp up button until the desired time is reached. Press pump button 2 to confirm the selection.

Pump 2 purges for five minutes and the blower purges for 30 seconds at the beginning of each filter cycle. Pump 1 will run on low during filtration and the ozone generator will be enabled.

As spa usage increases, the duration of the filter cycle may need to be increased.

ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE ACCESS PANEL

Turn off the spa power. To remove the indicated Access Panel (25), remove the four #10 x 2??? Machine Screws (46) that secure the Access Panel to the spa. Carefully remove the Access Panel and set it aside.

To replace the Access Panel, hold the Access Panel in place and secure it with the four #10 x 2??? Machine Screws (46). Be careful not to overtighten the

Screws.

DRAINING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA

The hydrotherapy spa should be drained at least four times per year and refilled with clean water. You may need to drain the spa more often, depending on the user load. This must be done because after repeated chemical treatment the water becomes chemically saturated. Once this happens, additional chemical treatment of the water is no longer effective. The spa should also be drained if you will not be using it for long periods of time. The spa must always be drained before major repairs are made.

The hydrotherapy spa should always be covered when it is empty. Direct sunlight can cause exten- sive damage. The surface of the spa shell can reach temperatures as high as 150??F in a matter of minutes if exposed to the sun while it is empty. These high temperatures can cause significant damage, such as blistering of the shell surface and warping of the spa shell. Any damage caused by sun exposure is not covered under warranty.

To drain the hydrotherapy spa, follow the steps below:

1.Using the console, adjust the temperature to the lowest setting.

2.Shut off the power to the spa, at the circuit break- er or GFCI.

3.Remove the access panel from the spa (see

ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE ACCESS PANEL on this page).

4.Pull the hose out and hold it above the waterline. Remove the cap, open the valve knob, and attach a garden hose to the drain hose. Lower the hose and drain the spa.

5.When the spa is empty, remove the garden hose, close the valve knob, and re-attach the cap and return the drain hose inside the spa.

6.Re-attach the access panel.

7.Refill the spa and treat the water with chemicals (see pages 11 and 16).

After the hydrotherapy spa is drained, the jet pumps should also be drained if the spa will be stored for more than thirty days or if it may be exposed to freez- ing temperatures.

If the underwater light burns out, you will need to remove the access panel to replace it (see ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE ACCESS PANEL on page 17). Make sure the spa power is turned off. Next, locate the light housing. Turn the light housing counterclockwise

Turn off the power to the spa. To drain the jet pumps, remove the access panel from the spa (see ATTACHING

AND REMOVING THE ACCESS PANEL on page 17). Locate the jet pumps inside the spa. Loosen the indicated collar on each of the pumps.

The hydrotherapy spa is designed for year-round use. If you decide to store the spa for the winter, store it in a warm, dry location. Follow the steps below to winter- ize the spa.

1.Make sure the power to the spa is turned off.

2.Drain the spa (see DRAINING THE HYDROTHER- APY SPA on page 17).

3.Remove all remaining water from the spa shell. Dry the spa shell with towels.

4.Set the air controls to the lowest setting. Use a wet/dry vacuum to pull any remaining water from the system. To do this, place the vacuum nozzle over each jet, starting with the highest jet and fin- ishing with the lowest jet.

5.Set the air controls to the highest setting and repeat step 3.

6.Drain the pumps (see DRAINING THE PUMPS on this page). Once the water is drained from the pumps, place the vacuum nozzle over the drainage hole in the pumps and vacuum any additional water from the pumps. Note: For additional pro- tection, remove the pumps/motors from the spa and store them in a climate-controlled room.

7.Clean the spa shell (see page 15).

8.Clean the filter (see page 15).

9.Shut the power off at the breaker. Label the breaker in such a way that the breaker will not be turned on accidentally.

10. Re-attach the access panel and the spa cover.

To replace the LED light, pull the old LED light out of the housing and insert a new LED light. Re-attach the light housing to the spa shell. Re-attach the access panel to the spa.

1.SYMPTOM: THE SPA WILL NOT OPERATE

a.Check to see if the GFCI breaker is tripped or was not turned on. Reset the GFCI breaker.

2.SYMPTOM: THE CIRCUIT BREAKER OR THE

GFCI TRIPS WHILE THE SPA IS OPERATING

a.Reset the circuit breaker or the GFCI. If the cir- cuit breaker or the GFCI trips again, contact a qualified electrician for service.

3.SYMPTOM: THE PUMP HUMS

6.SYMPTOM: THE WATER DOES NOT HEAT

a.Make sure that the hydrotherapy spa is fully covered with the spa cover. The spa cover must be tight for the water to heat. Set the air control to low. The water will heat at a rate of 6??F per hour. If you are using the spa indoors and the room temperature is main- tained at 70??F, it will take approximately 6 to 8 hours for the water to reach the set temperature.

b.If you are using the hydrotherapy spa outdoors, it may take longer for the water to heat. See the chart below for the approximate heating time.

b.If the water still has not heated after four days, contact our customer service department.

7.SYMPTOM: THE WATER IS NOT BEING

CLEANED BY THE FILTER

a.The pump may be jammed. Contact our cus- tomer service department. If your spa is no longer under warranty, contact a local spa and pool service provider.

5.SYMPTOM: THE PUMP IS NOISY WHILE

OPERATING

a.There may be debris in the pump. Contact our customer service department.

b.The pump may have a bad bearing. Contact our customer service department.

a.Check to see if the filter are in place. Clean the filter if they are dirty.

b.Check the chemical balance of the water. If the pH is incorrect, the sanitizing agents will not function properly. See the section on maintain- ing the proper pH balance on page 16.

8.SYMPTOM: THE WATER PULSATES OR

THERE IS MINIMUM WATER FLOW

a.This usually occurs only when the water level is low. Add water until it is 2??? to 4??? above the skimmer basket.

b.The filter cover may not be tight. Make sure the filter cover is tight.

9.SYMPTOM: THE WATER LEVEL DROPS

a.A clamp or seal inside the pump compartment may be loose. Check inside the pump compart- ment for excess water and watch the pump unit while it is operating to see if water drips from any of the plumbing. If you can identify the location of the leak inside of the spa jet unit, tighten the clamp or replace the damaged seal.

b.Some water loss due to evaporation is normal. If rapid water loss occurs, or if you notice wet- ness on the floor around the hydrotherapy spa, the spa shell may have a leak. Contact your local pool and spa service provider for repairs.
