GLOSSARY OF SPA TERMINOLOGY
8.
AIR CONTROL VALVE
These smaller valves are located around the top of your spa. You may increase or decrease
the force of your jets by opening or closing the air control valves. Each air control valve will
typically function 1 to 2 groups or seats of jets in the spa. When not in use the air controls
should be kept in the closed position as the air being introduced into the water can tend to
cool the water and increase the dissipation rate of sanitizer levels.
9.
TOPSIDE CONTROL PANEL
You may safely control spa functions from inside or outside your spa using the Topside
Control Panel. This panel is used to control the water temperature, pumps, the spa light,
automatic filtration cycles and other advanced functions. The digital display will give you a
constant temperature readout and will notify you in case of certain malfunctions. Several user
programmable functions are also available.
10. PERSONAL REMOTE CONTROL
(if equipped)
Select spa models may have an additional remote which allows the user to control the jet
therapy while remaining in the seat (if applicable). By pressing the control one time, you will
activate the pump. Press again for high speed and again to turn it off.
11. EQUIPMENT ACCESS PANEL
This is the skirt panel located below the Topside Control Panel. This area houses the majority
of components responsible for the spas operation. These components include the pumps,
heater, spa control system, ozonator (if equipped), and LED light system (if equipped). Pump
and equipment placement may vary by model.
12. ACCESS PANELS
These are the skirt panels located around all four sides of the spa. All of the skirt panels are
removable should service be required. Master Spas recommends at least 3 feet of access be
provided around the spa.
13. FILTER LID
This lid fits over the filter area and weir gate to cover the filters. Remove filter lid to access
filters for maintenance. For models equipped with a telescoping filter housing, simply lift up
to remove this floating assembly to access the filter. At low speed water flow or when the
filtering/heating pump is off, the telescoping part of the filter assembly will float at or near
the waterline. At high speed water flow, it will be drawn downward. See Accessing Filters in
the Regular Maintenance Procedures section for detailed instructions on filter assemblies.
14. WEIR GATE
The weir gate is the horizontal door located in front of the filters that helps keep debris
trapped in the filter area.
15. SPA CONTROL SYSTEM
This houses the wiring and electrical components necessary to operate the spa.
