SWIM SPA COMPONENTS
Skimmer:
The skimmer is where the water begins its travel
through the filtration system. The water is pulled into the
skimmer and passed through a basket, which needs to be
cleaned periodically. If your swim spa is outdoors, this basket
may need to be cleaned more frequently.
Circulating Pump:
This compact and efficient pump circu-
lates water through the filter, heater and UV Sanitizer 24 hours
a day. Keeping the water circulating is one of the best ways to
help you keep your swim spa clean while requiring very little
attention from you.
Heater Controller:
The heater controller warms the water
before it goes through the filter and re-enters your swim spa. It
also controls the operation of the UV sanitizer, lights, and jets.
As in the case of the motor, the heater does not need much
maintenance.
UV Sanitizer:
The water then passes through the UV Sanitizer.
Although Bromine and Chlorine are the most commonly used
sanitizers, we also use a UV sanitizer. Water is pumped through
a chamber that contains a bulb that produces ultra-violet light.
Algae, bacteria, and other microorganisms pass through the
chamber and are eradicated by the UV light. A UV system dras-
tically reduces the need for a chemical sanitizer (chlorine or
bromine). Since the high-efficiency circulating pump is running
continuously, your swim spa is being filtered, heated, and sani-
tized 24 hours a day reducing the likelihood of bacterial growth.
Cartridge Filter:
The circulating pump then moves the water
through the filter. The filter is a 25 square foot cartridge-type
filter located at the front of the pool. The filter needs to be
cleaned or replaced periodically to ensure that your swim spa
stays sparkling clear. Please refer to the “Recommended
Maintenance Schedule” portion of this manual for more infor-
mation on your filter.
Jet Pump:
Your swim spa has a larger jet pump, which feeds
the two-jetted seats. The jet pump pulls from two ports under
the seats and then pushes the water through 6 jets in each of
the two seats. Pushing the pump 1 button twice turns the jets
on. Pressing the pump 1 button once turns the jets off.
Electrical Disconnect Box:
The electrical disconnect box,
which is attached to the hydraulic power unit is where your
incoming 220volt 60amp GFCI service is attached. If you are
going to bury your electrical conduit, please refer to the above
drawing for ideal placement of the conduit inside of the spa
skirting. Please refer to the “Electrical Requirements” for
more information.
Hydraulic Power Unit:
The hydraulic power is the heart of
your swim current system. It pumps high-grade vegetable
based hydraulic fluid to the underwater hydraulic motor to
create the swim current.
Keypad:
The keypad is how you change the desired tempera-
ture of the swim spa as well as controlling the lights and jets.
Please refer to the, “Spa Functions” section in this manual for
more information.
Electrical Supply Conduit:
If bringing power to the swim
spa through underground conduit it should penetrate the floor
at the swim spa 8" from the back and side of the swim spa
(220V, 60Amp GFCI).
