OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
PERMASHELL®, FILTER, COVER & CABINET CARE MAINTENANCE
Whirlpool Diverter Jet(s):
Your hot tub (except Cove Products) is equipped with at least one Whirlpool
Diverter jet (2, 3, or 4 position), located on filter wall on most models. These
jets when turned will divert water to different groups of jets. Each position is
reached with a 90 degree turn of the whirlpool jet face. Always turn the collar of
the diverter jet clockwise when possible. Remember, turning your diverter will
affect the flow of water to different seat jets. Adjust to suit your personal needs.
Air Control(s):
Your hot tub has at least one air control. This air control allows air to mix with
the water that streams out of your jets. Each air control is responsible for a
section of jets or a whirlpool diverter jet. In order for the air control to have any
effect the jet(s) that it controls must be on and have water flow.
Western Red Cedar
As with any wood product, maintaining the “new” look requires a consistent
schedule of treating your cabinet with a quality CEDAR sealing product.
Permawood® – Mahogany, Dark Teak, Pecan, Charcoal, Black
Maintenance for Permawood® is to use mild soap and water. Some strong
household cleaners/solvents can cause damage/fading to the surface of the
cabinet. All cleaners should be tested on an out-of-the-way section of cabinet
before cleaning.
PermaShell®
PermaShell® cleans very easy because of its durable poly material. A spray
cleaner that is low in “suds” and is applied then wiped off will most of the time
be sufficient. With stubborn stains or marks, a “soft” scrub cleaner with very
low abrasion (elements) will help when used with a non-abrasive cleaning pad.
Cover or Hot Tub Lid
See manufacturer’s warranty and maintenance procedures.
When using a spa or hot tub “shock” water treatment, the cover must be
removed for 30 minutes. Failure to remove cover may cause damage to
cover.
While we feel that some of the best times to use your spa can be
during the colder months,
we understand that there can be a need
for some owners to close their tubs during the winter months.
Topside Control Pad:
Your hot tub is equipped with an electronic topside control pad. The topside
control pad wil allow you to control the speed of the pump, the light, and
the temperature setting, as well as some programming options. Familiarize
yourself with the topside control by viewing the Operation Guide in this
manual.
Deluxe L.E.D. Lighting System:
This LED Lighting System consists of individual light nodes that are in
coordination with the LED light housed in the light lens within the vessel of the
spa. The light varies in color and function by pressing the light button. To turn
on the system, simply press the button once. To turn it off, re-press the light
button. To change the color or light function, press the light button quickly in
succession. If the light has been off for more than 3-5 seconds it will resume at
the last color setting selected.
Filters
Periodic filter maintenance is required in order to maintain proper hot tub
water quality and performance of equipment supplied with this hot tub. The
manufacturer recommends cleaning your filters with high pressure water
flow once a week. Once a month it is recommended that filters be soaked
in a quality filter cleaning solution before high pressure spraying of the filter
cartridge is applied.
Water Quality
As the owner of a Nordic Hot Tub it is important to maintain proper water
quality to keep your hot tub and equipment in excellent condition. Please
consult your Spa and Pool Professional on how to maintain proper water
quality. If your spa is equipped with an Ozone Generator it will produce ozone
only when the hot tub is running on low speed, but it cannot be used as the
sole means to maintaining safe spa water.
Sanitation
Sanitizers are intended to kill bacteria and keep water clean.
Nordic recommends Di-Chlor Granular Chlorine as a sanitizer. You will need to
decide which chemical sanitizer you wish to use. Please consult with your spa
retailer for what is available and its proper use. Spa owners with the ozonator
still need to use a chemical sanitizer.
We feel that winterization should be left to the professionals, but if
done carefully using the following instructions your risk of damage
from freezing can be minimized. Please note, we do not warrant
against freezing damage in a tub that has been winterized, either
by the owner of by a professional service center.
WARNING: The improper use of any sanitizer or sanitizing system including Di-Chlor Granular Chlorine could negate your warranty. The improper use of Bromine
can potentially damage (fading) the shell of your hot tub. Failure to maintain water quality could also negate your warranty.
