Basic Spa Information
The following operating and maintenance instructions are
very important and must be followed carefully. With the
proper care and maintenance, your spa will provide you with
years of satisfaction and performance.
Do not be afraid to push buttons or turn knobs to learn
about your new spa, as it is built with quality materials and
excellent craftsmanship.
Your new spa has been engineered with a high-powered
water pump that pushes water through various therapy jets,
which will relax even the tightest muscles. In addition to the
water pressure, you can add air into the spa water with air
rockers located seat-side that increase the intensity of your
massage.
The filtering of this spa is very important. It will minimize
cleaning time and the amount of chemicals needed to keep
your spa water balanced. The two daily pre-programmed
filter cycles of two hours in duration can be increased to
six hour cycles if the need arises. This can be accomplished
through the topside control panel.
IMPORTANT: Keep the spa covered when not in use!
• Covered spas use less electricity while maintaining a set
temperature.
• Covering your spa will protect your spa’s finish from the
sun’s ultraviolet rays.
• You are required to keep the spa covered to maintain
warranty coverage.
• Covering your spa helps prevent children from drowning
in the spa.
Your new spa comes equipped with an electric heater.
Following the directions listed below will ensure the most
efficient operation:
NOTE: This method is only for spa usage under two
hours a week.
Keep the spa’s operating temperature 5˚F below the desired
usage temperature when not in use. One or two hours
before use, set the temperature to the desired temperature.
If the spa usage exceeds two hours a week, the set
temperature should remain at the desired usage temperature.
The air rockers should be used sparingly. When open, water
temperature drops quite rapidly and can also dissipate
chemicals.
Allowing the water temperature to lower more than 10˚F
below the desired usage temperature and reheating it prior
to usage will cause the heater to operate longer than it
normally would maintaining the desired temperature. Doing
this will increase your operating cost and makes your heater
work more than necessary.
The filter needs to be cleaned or changed on a regular
basis. This process takes only a few minutes and the result
is increased water clarity and equipment longevity.
Water level is very important to the operation of your spa.
If the water level is too low or too high, your spa will not
operate properly. The water level should be to the middle of
the skimmer area when the spa is not being used.
We recommend that your spa water be changed every 4 to
6 months. You may find the need to change your spa water
more frequently with heavy use. When empty, your spa
should be cleaned with a non-abrasive cleaner and rinsed
thoroughly.
See the section “Cleaning and Maintaining Your Spa” for
instructions on draining your spa.
When filling your spa, always fill through the skimmer filter
canister. Use only regular tap water.
WARNING: DO NOT USE SOFT WATER.
