LOCATION
For your portable spa to function properly and safely, it must be located on a hard, flat,
level surface. In-ground spas require special installation techniques and should be
planned in conjunction with your spa dealer. Improper installation can result in structural
damage to the spa and the voiding of your spa warranty. Items to discuss with your
dealer include: Local construction codes, electrical service requirements, serviceability
of equipment, present underground obstructions such as gas, water and telephone lines,
safety measures such as fences, locks and visibility of the spa installation from the home,
street and neighbors.
You must allow for sufficient water drainage around the spa to help preserve the
equipment and support structure.
Your spa MUST be installed to permit access for servicing the equipment above and/or
below any decks or floors. Access is essential and must allow adequate room for
service.
Be sure the spa is in the final position BEFORE filling with water. Check for power
cords, tools, and hoses that may be caught underneath the spa.
CAUTION:
Never try to move a spa that has not been fully drained. To do so could
result in damage to the spa and physical injury to the mover.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT LET AN EMPTY SPA REMAIN EXPOSED TO DIRECT
SUNLIGHT FOR MORE THAN A FEW MINUTES. Spa surface temperatures can reach
in excess of 150° F (65°C) if left exposed to the sun. Significant damage can occur if this
is allowed to happen, including warping and blistering of the surface. Damage, which
may occur as a result of this exposure, is not covered under the warranty. All warranties
have exclusions to this type of damage.
SHUT-OFF VALVES
Your spa is equipped with shut-off valves (see equip-
ment diagram on spa model page) that shut off the
water flow to the equipment system for dealer service.
At times, a new spa or one that has recently been
serviced, may have the shut-off valves partially closed
which can restrict the water flow and hinder jet
performance. Be sure the valves are fully open.
FREEZE PROTECTION
When a freeze condition is detected (which occurs
when the temperature in the heater housing drops to 40° F) the jet pump(s) is
automatically activated.
In areas with extreme cold winter conditions, your spa should be fine as long as it is left
running at normal operating temperatures. If you plan to turn the spa off, you must
follow the instructions in this manual for winterizing your spa.
