Fill Up and Start Instructions
The following procedures should be followed on initial startup and whenever the hot tub is drained for
routine maintenance.
FILLING THE HOT TUB WITH WATER
1.
Clear all the debris from your hot tub.
2.
Use a garden hose to fill your hot tub with water.
NOTE: do not use home water heater or
softened water.
3.
As the water level rises, check inside the equipment compartment for water leaks. It may be
necessary to tighten unions and/or fittings that may have loosened during delivery. There is no
need to call for service; this can easily be done by you. If assistance is required, your dealer or
service organization may charge a small fee.
4.
Under normal circumstances keep the water level at the texture level mark, where the rough
texture meets the smooth texture on the inside of the spa, at all times. Keep in mind that every
person who enters the spa will create a certain amount of water displacement, depending on their
size and weight—as a result you may need to reduce the amount of water you normally have in the
tub, so as to prevent the water from hitting your topside control or flowing over the top of the hot
tub. All jets must be under water at all times.
APPLYING POWER
Please review the following procedures and power-up events before applying voltage to the Power
System:
STEP I
1.
Check the voltage at the main power panel to be sure you have the correct voltage for the Power
System being used. Also, be sure the voltage is or – 10% of the mean voltage. For 120
VAC it should be between 108 VAC and 132 VAC. For 240 VAC it should be between 216 VAC
and 264 VAC.
2.
Test and reset the GFCI. If it does not operate properly, do not apply voltage to the Power System
until the problem has been corrected.
3.
Fill the hot tub to its correct operating level. Be sure to open all jets in the plumbing system before
filling to allow as much air as possible to escape from the plumbing and the Power System during
the filling process.
STEP II
Apply power by turning on your dedicated GFCI circuit breaker (120 VAC or 220 VAC). Your hot
tub has been specifically designed so by simply applying power, it will automatically heat to the
factory default temperature of 100
º
F (37º C).
1.
Press the Jets pad on the topside control panel to activate the spa. Rotate the air control valves to
“Max” and observe the increased jet action.
NOTE: Let the high-speed pump run for 10 minutes. This helps purge the air from the water lines.
2.
While the pump is running, check again for water leaks at the drain spigot, unions, or fittings in the
equipment compartment. If water is leaking from one of these areas, there is no need to call for
service. Simply tighten the fitting. If assistance is required, your dealer or service organization
may charge a small fee.
3.
After checking your spa for leaks it is now time to adjust your preferred temperatures and turn off
the high-speed pump.
