Circulation
Pump
A pump that circulates the water in the spa continuously.
Dry Firing
Turning the heater element on when there is no water in the heater.
Equipment
Access Panel
Provides access to your spa’s equipment for a qualified service technician.
Filter Cartridge
Your spa’s filters have been designed so that you may repeatedly clean and
maintain the filter element as needed. The element is constructed of woven
polyester rather than paper to ensure long life and proper filtration.
GFCI-Ground
Fault Circuit
Interrupter
A type of Circuit Breaker that automatically disconnects power to the spa when
there is an electrical power leakage to ground.
Gravity Drain
Valve
Used to drain your spa
Halogens

sanitize water.
ICON Pad
This is a pad accessed by pressing the Dimension One Spas Logo on the far right
of the Top Side Control Panel.
Jets
Return the water into the spa from the equipment. The jets produce a turbulent
flow of water mixed with air to provide a concentrated body massage
Light
Illuminates the spa
Load Sharing
When the circuit breaker size is smaller than the total power needed to operate
both the heater and the jet pump at the same time, load sharing automatically
turns off the heater when a jet pump is turned onto high speed.
Lower Control
System
The electronic control system that governs all of the electrically operated
components of your spa utilizes an advanced microprocessor and solid-state
electronic devices to activate all user and maintenance options. A backlit, highly
reliable liquid crystal display gives you a complete update of the spa status at any
time of the day or night. Temperature setting, as well as control of the light, jets,
filtration, and time of day display, are all instantly available from, and controllable
at, the topside control panel.
Ozone
Generator
A specialized ultraviolet light that changes oxygen into ozone for use in the water
sanitation process.
Flow Switch
Safety device(s) that sends a signal to the electronic control system that there is
adequate water flow to turn the heater on.
Pump
Produces water flow through the heater, filter, sanitation system and the main
jets in the spa. The pump will operate automatically during filtration and heat
cycles. This pump can also be operated manually by depressing the “jets” pad on
the topside control panel which will allow you to choose between two speeds
•
Low speed for efficient water circulation during heating and filtration
modes, and for gentle jet resistance or massage action.
•
High speed for maximum jet action.
Selector Valve
Located on the top edge of the spa, it diverts jet power from one area of the spa
to another.
Serial Number
Please use the serial number (located on the left corner pedestal) in
communication with your dealer.
Slice Valves /
Shutoff Valves
Valves located within the spa’s internal plumbing, which are used by service
personnel to shut off water flow to the heater and pumps. All valves must be
30
