Featured Operations 

 

AIR CONTROL VALVE (when equipped)

 

 

If your hot tub is installed with an Air Control Valve (Units equipped with a whirlpool will have two air control valves.  
The additional air control is for the whirlpool on the Mirage model.  The air control valve serves to regulate the amount of 
air mixed with the water when the jets are operational.  Rotate the air control in one direction to achieve the maximum jet 
pressure and therapeutic action.  Rotating the air control in the opposite direction to turn air off and allow the jets to work 
with water only.  Turn the air controls off when the hot tub is not in use.  This will prevent cold air from entering the hot 
tub and will keep heating cost to a minimum. 

 

HYDROTHERAPY JETS 

 

The Hydrotherapy jets are recessed and located in the wall of the hot tub.  Rotate the jet face counterclockwise to turn the 
jets on, clockwise to turn the jets off.  Not all jets have a rotational face to turn off and on the jets.  Turning off or on a jet 
will increase or decrease the effects of any jets “not” in the closed position. 

 

LED MULTI COLOR LIGHT (when equipped) 

 

If your hot tub is installed with a LED Multi Color light at factory, firmly and quickly turning the light switch on and off 
will cause the light color effect mode to change to your desired program.  
 

OZONATORS (when equipped) 

 

If your hot tub is installed with an ozonator at the factory, your hot tub will automatically filter water at preset times.  
Please note that ozonator and chemicals work together to kill bacteria.  An ozonator cannot totally eliminate the need for 
chlorine.  Ozone is a bactericide.  A tube links the ozone compartment with the ozone jet.  During the filter cycle, when 
the water pump is on low speed, the water movement through the ozone jet draws the ozone out of the compartment, 
mixes with and purifies the water in the process. 

 

WHIRLPOOL JET (when equipped) 

 

If your hot tub is installed with a whirlpool jet at the factory it will be located below the water line at or near the control 
panel area, in the wall.  This jet is a combination valve or diverter valve and high capacity jet, and has a larger diameter 
than the hydrotherapy jets.  The whirlpool jet is turned on and off by rotating the jet face. Because, there is a substantial 
amount of water pressure when the jet is in operation, you must turn the pump off or to low speed before attempting to 
rotate the jet face.  As the whirlpool jet open position is increased it will begin turning off all of the hydrotherapy jets.  
Units installed with a whirlpool will have an additional air control valve dedicated to the whirlpool.  The whirlpool must 
be in the completely off or completely on position to provide accurate heating or when the spa is unoccupied. 

 

WATERFALL (when equipped) 

 

If your hot tub is installed with a waterfall from the factory there will also be a control valve to operate the amount of flow 
through the waterfall from no flow to a steady stream.  This valve will be located in various positions on the tub 
depending on the model. 

*note:

 The air control valve and the waterfall flow valve may look and function exactly the same 

and may operate in the same way, however; they will be separate components.  If the flow of your water fall seems 
uneven there is a clean out located under the water fall.  This clean out can be slid from one side to the other to evacuate 
any foreign objects that may have entered into the flow of the water fall.  Never run your spa without the filter in place as 
this helps to prevent foreign objects from entering your system.  Any clogging in system due to foreign objects will not be 
covered under warranty.
