Fill it up
• Place a garden hose into the filter area. Let your
hose run for five minutes before putting it in
to clear out any stagnant water in the hose. It
is advisable to use a hose-ended filter/water
softener (if you are in a hardwater area). This will
fill your hot tub from the pumps and pipework
first to prevent any airlocks in the system. It will
also make balancing water easier and to reduce
the amount of impurities that can contaminate
your water. At this point your hot tub should be
turned off at the isolator.
• Fill water to recommended water level as
indicated by the minimum water level. Low water
levels can cause damage to the pump and heater
element so is good practice to top up your hot
tub on a weekly basis. If there is no water level
indicator, you should fill your hot tub to 1 inch
above the top of the back jets.
• Remove side panel and check for any leaks around
the plumbing. Occasionally fittings may come loose
during shipment. If you do detect any small leaks,
you will need to hand-tighten them straight away.
Do not use a wrench, as it can easily crack the nut
and cause the leak to worsen.
Power up
You can now re-fit the side panel and turn the power
on at the isolator point. Read the control panel
section on how to operate it. Hot tubs can take
approximately 12–24 hours to rise to temperature.
Heat time depends on size, voltage and other factors
such as outside temperature. Plug & Play hot tubs
take longer to heat than 32AMP.
Balance your water
Test and balance your hot tub water before you
introduce any sanitizers. It is important to balance
prior to adding sanitizers to avoid unwanted problems
such as cloudiness, discolouration or foul-smelling
water. Also, keeping your water balanced is crucial
for longevity of the hot tub and to keep your water
clean and clear. Poor water management can result
in components degrading/failing which can invalidate
your warranty. More information on treating your
water can be found in the Maintenance section.
