Getting Started
4.
SET THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL
to the desired temperature
between 38°C (100°F) and 40°C (104°F), then place the spa
cover on the spa and allow the water temperature to stabilize
(approximately 24 hours). Make sure you secure the cover in place
using the cover locks. Periodically check the spa water temperature.
When the water temperature climbs above 32°C (90°F), proceed
to the next step. The spa temperature is pre-programmed to reach
38°C (100°F), and will normally do so within 18 to 24 hours. You may
change the water temperature by pressing the OPTION hard button
then press the soft button next to
Temperature,
(press soft button
next to
on the control panel to raise the temperature, or lower
temperature by pressing soft button next to ▼). After a few hours,
the water temperature will remain within 1.5°C (3°F ) of your selected
temperature.
5.
USING A TEST STRIP AND APPLICABLE CHEMICALS
adjust
Total Alkalinity (TA) to 80 ppm, Calcium Hardness (CH) between
75 - 150 ppm
(if using
Salt System
between
25 - 75 ppm
), then
spa water pH to between 7.4 and 7.8. These procedures are listed in
the “Water Quality and Maintenance” section.
OPERATION NOTE:
Adjusting the Total Alkalinity as the first step is
important, as out-of balance TA will affect your ability to adjust the pH
correctly and will prevent the sanitizer from operating effectively.
When using the
FRESHWATER
Salt system the Calcium Hardness
must be between
25 - 75 ppm
, if hardness is above 75 ppm use
VANISHING ACT
(see pg. 11).
IMPORTANT:
Activate the Clean cycle (Press the soft button next
to CLEAN on the home screen)
before adding spa water chemicals
directly into the filter compartment. Make sure all diverter valves are
set to the middle position.
6.
SUPERCHLORINATE THE SPA WATER
by adding 1½ teaspoons
of
FRESHWATER
chlorine (sodium dichlor) per 950 liters (250
gallons) of spa water, then activate the Clean cycle.
7.
TEST THE SPA WATER FOR CHLORINE RESIDUAL.
If the
residual is between 1 and 5 ppm on the test strips, go on to the next
step. If the residual is less than 1 ppm, activate the Clean cycle, and
then retest, add more chlorine as necessary.
WARNING:
High sanitizer levels can cause discomfort to the user’s
eyes, lungs and skin. Always allow the sanitizer level to fall to the
recommended range before using the spa.
8.
RECHECK
the Total Alkalinity (TA) 40 - 120 ppm, Calcium
Hardness (CH) 75 - 150 ppm (25 - 75 ppm with salt), then spa water
pH between 7.2 and 7.8.
OPERATION NOTE:
Make sure you adjust your Total Alkalinity and
pH correctly, this will affect the sanitizers effectiveness.
The spa is ready for use when the spa water has circulated and
the chlorine level remains between 1 and 5 ppm.
OPERATION NOTE:
For proper water circulation during the ten-minute
Clean cycle the following steps should be performed.
• Place the diverter valve in the middle (split flow) position
• Place air control levers in OFF position by rotating clockwise
