INSTALLATION AND
QUICK START UP GUIDE
5.
FILLING THE SPA:
To fill your spa, remove the filter cover and the filter cartridge by turning it counter clockwise.
If your source
water contains metals, such as iron, it is recommended that you attach a pre filter to your garden hose. This will help to remove any
precipitated metals and to make start up easier.
Put your garden hose into the threaded hole where the filter cartridge is located
and begin to fill your spa through this hole. This will purge air from the water lines and it will make priming the pump easier. Fill
your spa approximately 6 inches (15 cm) from the top of the spa. The level that you keep your spa water at will be determined
by your personal use and preferences.

PRIMING THE PUMP:
When your spa is full of water, plug the power cord into your wall outlet or switch your 220 volt GFCI breaker
to the on position. The top side control display will sequence through a numbered test pattern. When you see the initials PR,
press the jets button to start the pump. If there is air in the line and the pump sounds like it is straining, you may have to depress
the jets button to off and on several times before the pump will start. Be aware that it may take a few minutes for the pump to
prime and for water to start flowing. When your pump starts to flow, and the jets begin to operate, press either the temperature
up or down arrow to exit priming mode.
7.
SETTING THE TEMPERATURE:
The top side control will display dashes until the current water temperature is detected and displayed.
This may take up to one minute. To set your desired temperature, press either the temperature up or down arrow. The set
temperature will begin to flash. To change the set temperature, press either the up or down arrow until you reach your desired
setting. When the temperature reading stops flashing, your desired temperature is set.
8.
SETTING THE FILTER CYCLE:
Your spa should be factory programmed to circulate twice a day, 4 hours at a time. This setting
should be sufficient for normal usage. Your first filter cycle begins 6 minutes after you connect power to your spa. The second
cycle will begin 12 hours later. Your spa is capable of circulating for 1-8 hour intervals, twice a day. To ensure that the cycles
are properly set or to change this setting, press either the temperature down or up arrow, then press the «Jets» icon. The top
side control display should show F4. Press either the temperature up or down arrow to increase or decrease the filtration cycle
time. Press the «Jets» icon to exit the filter cycle program.
9.
CONTROLLING THE TEMPERATURE:
If your spa is not operating in a filter cycle, but the water requires heating, the spa pump and
the heater will turn on until the set water temperature has been reached. Both components will then shut off automatically. This
prevents your water from cooling down. Your spa is also equipped with freeze protection. If the water temperature drops below
45°F (7°C), the pump will automatically turn on. It will turn itself off 4 minutes after the water temperature has risen back to 45°F
(7°C).
IMPORTANT: Your spa automatically checks the water temperature for 1 minute, every 30 minutes, to increase the temperature
if it has dropped. If you are operating your spa using a 110V electrical supply, the heater will disengage when your pump is turned on
to high speed. If your set temperature has dropped during usage, the heater may not come on automatically when you change your
pump from high speed to low speed. To turn the heater back on, decrease your set temperature to one (1) degree below the current
temperature and wait for the display to stop flashing. After stopping, raise the set temperature back to your original setting. This should
reengage the heater within one (1) minute.
