MOTO-MASSAGE
(SX & TX MODELS ONLY)
The
MOTO-MASSAGE
jet automatically travels up and down in a
sweeping motion, simulating the natural stroking effects of a manual
massage. The intensity of the
MOTO-MASSAGE
jet may be adjusted by
turning the
AIR CONTROL
lever.
The
MOTO-MASSAGE
jet has been factory adjusted to provide
maximum hydromassage, and to achieve full vertical travel with its
AIR CONTROL
lever in the full air volume position. Should the
MOTO-
MASSAGE
jet not achieve full vertical travel and the problem is not
a closed air control valve or clogged filter cartridge, then your
HOT
SPRING
Service Center should be contacted.
IMPORTANT:
A slow or non-moving
MOTO-MASSAGE
jet may indicate
that the filter cartridge pores are obstructed with dirt, body oils, or
calcification. Follow the filter cartridge cleaning procedures in the Spa
Care and Maintenance section of this manual.
HYDROMASSAGE JETS
The larger jets in your spa allow you to re-direct the jet stream by
changing the position of the nozzle.
Regulate the force of the massage by rotating the jet face clockwise to
reduce the force or counter-clockwise to increase the force. Notice that
turning off the flow to some jets increases the flow to the other jets. To
avoid damage to your spa’s plumbing and components,
do not turn off
more than half of these jets at the same time.
PRECISION JETS
PRECISION
jets are small. They are designed to perform a soft,
soothing massage on your feet, calf, back and shoulders. The Air Control
levers are used to change the air intensity of a group of
PRECISION
jets
simultaneously.
AIR CONTROL SYSTEM
AIR CONTROL VALVE: Turning the air control lever to the left position
allows for the same volume of air to flow to all individual jets and
PRECISION
jets simultaneously. The jet faceplate on the larger jets is
then used to control the water intensity of each hydromassage jet.
NOTE:
Always turn the air control lever to the right position anytime the
spa is not being used. This will help make the spa operate more quietly
and heat more efficiently when the vinyl cover is in place.
WATERFALL VALVE (TEMPO, RELAY &
RHYTHM MODELS ONLY)
The
TEMPO
,
RELAY
&
RHYTHM
spas are equipped with a cascading
water feature. It is activated by pressing the JETS button up to 3 times
when the jets are off and turning the waterfall valve clockwise. The flow
is regulated by turning the valve to the desired position.
When not in use turn the on/off valve to the OFF position.
QUICK START-UP INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE YOU FILL YOUR SPA
Make sure your spa has been properly installed per all local codes, this
includes the location of the spa, the foundation of the spa as well as the
electrical installation of the spa. Installation instructions in the form of a
Pre-Delivery Instruction booklet can be obtained from either your
HOT
SPRING
dealer or online at:
www.
HotSpring
.com/planning-tools/pre-delivery-instructions
DO:
• Know which water treatment system you will be using and make sure
you have necessary chemicals available. Read all of the instructions
that come with the system.
• Have
FRESHWATER
5-way Test Strips Available.
• Have pH/Alkalinity Up & Down available.
• Know the "Hardness" of your water, contact your dealer to help you
with this information. See Water Quality and Maintenance for more
information.
IMPORTANT:
Watkins Manufacturing Corporation does not
recommend that the spa be filled with “softened” water, as this may
damage the spa’s equipment.
• Purchase the Clean Screen
®
pre-filter to remove unwanted
contaminants from the tap water. This is recommended, not required.
DON'T:
• Power up the spa until it has been filled with water!
Power to the
spa automatically activates critical components within the spa, such
as controls, heater, circulation pump, and other systems. If power
is supplied to these components prior to the spa being filled, the
components will be damaged, and this may result in a non-warranty
component failure.
• Fill the spa with hot water or cold water with cold water temperature
below 50º F (10º C)! Tripping of the high-limit thermostat may result
causing your spa to stop functioning.
DON'T:
• Use your spa after filling until all of the steps listed below START-UP
are completed!
• Add chlorine if treating your spa with polyhexamethylene biguanide
(Biguanide, PHMB, eg. BaquaSpa
®
) sanitizer.
