Operating Instructions

Now that your Santina  spa is in place, you are probably eager to take advantage of its unique designed-in features—

especially the patented Jacuzzi  Whirlpool Bath hydromassage performance. Besides being a beautiful addition to your
indoor decor or outdoor landscaping, your Jacuzzi

®

 whirlpool spa will provide you with the ultimate in spa pleasure.

Basic Control Set-Up

The control set-up on your Santina  spa is designed to give you fingertip control of the heater, light, air induction, and

whirlpool/filter pump and blower systems of your unit from inside or outside your spa.  Follow the basic control operation
described on page 9 to familiarize yourself with the several functions of the control panels located on the top of the spa.

CAUTION

Do not turn on power to the spa unless it is filled with water to the normal water level.  (See waterline indicator mark
on skimmer frame.) When the power is on, the built-in timer may activate the system even though the SYSTEM is
turned off at the control panel. If the spa’s motor/pump is actuated when there is insufficient water in the unit, the
circulation pump and heater could be irreparably damaged.  Not heeding this caution will nullify the warranty.  In
addition to damaging the unit, operating the spa with insufficient water could cause a fire.

SYSTEM CONTROL MODULE

• Using a garden hose, fill the spa with water to the water

line indicator mark on the skimmer frame (See page 20
for information on using the Water Rainbow  spout as a
fill spout if desired.)

• At the house service panel, turn on the circuit breaker or

a switch that controls the electrical service to your spa.
(Make sure there is no other appliance on that circuit.)

• Open the skirt door giving access to the System Control

Module.

OPERATION

• Your spa is provided with a ground fault circuit interrupter

(GFCI).  At initial start-up and at least once a month
thereafter, with power on, push the test button located on
the spa System Control Module.  The reset button should
pop out.  Push this button in to reset.  If the interrupter fails
to operate in this manner, there is a ground current
flowing or a device malfunctioning, indicating the possi-
bility of electric shock.  Turn off power and do not use
the spa until the source of the problem has been
identified and corrected.

HIGH TEMPERATURE SAFETY SWITCH

High temperatures above the thermostat range
will cause the high temperature safety switch to
trip and the system to turn off.  See operating
instructions.  When water temperature is less
than 100

°

 F., reset by pressing the safety switch

reset button located on the cover of the heater
enclosure.

CAUTION

This system is GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) pro-tected for your
safety.  Bypassing the GFCI or tampering with the system in any way may
cause electrical shock, in-jury or death and will void the warranty.  GFCI
protection does not extend to 230 VAC circuit conversion.  If test indi-cates
that the GFCI is not functioning, DO NOT USE THE UNIT until the electrical
problem has been corrected. (See installation instructions.)  TEST THE GFCI
ONCE A MONTH.

TEST PROCEDURE
Unit must be filled to proper water level and correct power supplied.

1. Push TEST button of GFCI.
2. RESET button should pop out.  This should cut off power

to the system.  CAUTION: if RESET button does not
pop out, or if RESET button does pop out and system
is still on, DO NOT USE YOUR SPA.

3. If the GFCI tests okay, restore power by pushing in the

reset button.  The RESET button must be pushed until
it locks into place and remains depressed.

IF THE GFCI FAIL TO RESET PROPERLY, DO NOT USE
THE SPA!  CONTACT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
