FILL UP AND START-UP INSTRUCTIONS
The following procedures should be followed on initial startup and whenever the spa is drained for
routine maintenance.
FiLLiNg THE SPA WiTH WATER
1. Clear all the debris from your spa.
2. Be sure to open all jets to allow as much air as possible to
escape from the plumbing during the filling process.
3. Use a garden hose to fill your spa with water.
NOTE: Do not use hot or softened water.
4. As the water level rises, check inside the equipment
compartment for water leaks. It may be necessary to
tighten unions and/or fittings that may have loosened
during delivery. There is no need to call for service; this can
easily be done by you. If assistance is required, contact a
customer service representative at (888) 961-7727
5. Under normal circumstances keep the water level half
way between the top of the spa and grey filter ring or just
above the highest jets (whichever is higher). Keep in mind
that every person who enters the spa will create a certain
amount of water displacement, depending on their size and
weight; as a result you may need to reduce the amount of
water you normally have in the spa. To prevent the water
from hitting your topside control or flowing over the top edge
of the spa. Additionally, failure to keep enough water in your
spa may result in damage to your system & invalidate your
warranty. If your spa filter is sucking in air causing the pump
to cavitate, you need to add water!
6. Check the filter installation and make sure the filter is not
loose.
APPLYiNg POWER
1. Plug the spa into the 15 amp dedicated, grounded wall
outlet, or turn on power from Main Panel and 230V Sub-Panel.
2. Press the jets button on the topside control panel to activate the spa. Rotate all the air control
valves counterclockwise and observe the increased jet action.
3. While the pump is running, leaks may have occurred during transit. Check again for water
leaks at the drain spigot, unions, or fittings in the equipment compartment. If water is leaking
from one of these areas, there is no need to call for service. Simply tighten the fitting. If
assistance is required, call a customer service representative at (888) 961-7727.
4. After checking your spa for leaks it is now time to adjust your spa settings. Press the “Up”
or "Down" button on your topside control panel until the display indicates your desired
temperature is set.
