IMPORTANT! Choose an installation site with the front control
panel side pointing towards your home’s Wi-Fi router.
CAUTION: You must make sure that the spa control panel side
has a clear unobstructed line-of-site of the home Wi-Fi router.
This action ensures maximum signal strength between the spa
and your home’s Wi-Fi router.
Verify your home router’s Wi-Fi strength at the proposed spa loca-
tion. Front control panel side of spa must point towards your ho-
me’s Wi-Fi router in your home as illustrated.
Stand near the proposed front control panel side of the spa with
your cell phone, then login to the internet using your home Wi-Fi
router signal (not 3G or 4G) and verify results as follows:
If the home Wi-Fi router signal is strong (3-4 bars) and Internet
access is stable, the proposed installation site is a good choice.
If the home router’s Wi-Fi signal is weak and Internet access is
slow or produces an error, the proposed installation site is not a
good choice.
It may be necessary to choose another spa installation site.
Relocate your home Wi-Fi router closer to the spa.
Install a “repeater” device in the room closest to the spa to boo-
st the home’s router Wi-Fi signal at the proposed spa installa-
tion site.
Electrical connections
Refer to the pre-installation information sheet for
instructions and electrical input of the various models.
To gain access to the spa’s power terminal block, you will need
to remove the corner and center cabinet panels.
Grab one of the corner panels, from the bottom, where it tou-
ches the bottom pan. Then gently pull the panel forward to un-
snap it from the holding clip,
Place the corner panel in a safe location to prevent from da-
maging it. Repeat the steps to remove the other corner panel.
Now you need to remove the center panel. Grab the sides of the
panel and gently pull the cabinet forward until all the clips ha-
ve been release then pull up to remove.
Place the panel in a safe location to prevent from damaging it.
Select the power supply entrance you want to use. Make sure
to install a 3/4" electrical fitting and conduit through the large
opening provided in the bottom of the control box so you can
feed the cable through to the terminal block.
Then remove the 6 door screws for the access door on the con-
trol box.
- Connect the power supply line, making reference to the wiring dia-
gram and the chapters
“Connecting the electrical power supply” and
“Electronic board connections-Setting the dip switches”.
