Normal Operation

Whirlpool System

You can enjoy your spa with or without activating the

whirlpool.  Either way, bathing in your spa can be pleasur-
able, as well as therapeutic.

For a more invigorating spa experience, you can take

advantage of the built-in whirlpool system.  To do this,
select the WHIRLPOOL  mode.  Sit or recline in the spa so
you are comfortable.   Since  the whirlpool jets are adjust-
able, you can  direct a jet toward any location on the body,
particularly toward any area that feels tense or stiff.  The
warmth of the water and the stimulating water flow from the
jet will pleasantly increase circulation.

Filtration

When you are ready to leave the spa, select the HEATER/

FILTER mode  to maintain the water quality  and tempera-
ture.  If you want to filter the water without heating, select
the FILTER ONLY  mode.

The filter pump should be run at least one hour per day

to allow filtration of the water and to maintain water clarity.
Select the FILTER mode and run the filter each day.  If the
HEATER/FILTER mode is selected and the spa heater
operates at least one hour per day, it will be filtering at the
same time, and it will not be necessary to operate the spa
in the filter mode in addition.

Silent Air Induction

The intensity of the whirlpool action is determined by

how much air is inducted into the water.  You have control
of this by adjusting the five air induction control knobs
located on the control panels.  For maximum air induction,
rotate each control knob fully counterclockwise to the
largest dot.  For fewer air bubbles, decrease the amount of
air induction by rotating the control knob clockwise.  When
the knobs are turned to the smallest dot, only water is being
circulated.
