FILL THE SPA WITH WATER
a. Clear all debris from your spa.
b. Remove filter element
c. Using a garden hose, place hose in filter chamber
for filling. Do not fill higher than three quarters of
the way up the skimmer opening
d. We
DO NOT
recommend the use of softened
water due to the potential harm of damaging
equipment.
e. As water level rises, check inside equipment
compartments for water leaks. It may be
necessary to tighten loose unions and/or fittings.
f. Make sure T-Handled Gate VALVES at pump and
heater are open, and the valve handle retaining
clips are in place. (Fully extended up position).
SKIMMER SIDE FILTER
All Viking spas have a skimmer side filter that does
not require “air bleeding” on initial startup. If an air
lock develops, loosen the union on return side of
pump. See Diagram (A) below. Let small amount
of water drain from connection while the pump is
running. Once the water begins to flow out of the
jets retighten the union. Make sure Gate Valve
is in the “open” position and the black retainer clip is
snapped into place.
Clean spa filters are critical for proper operation.
Dirty filters cause water restriction to the pump,
which in turn may cause erratic heating of the spa.
A starving pump will degrade performance, result in
dirty or murky water and may cause the heater to
malfunction.
ADD START-UP CHEMICALS
Ask your spa retailer to HELP you set up a chemical
maintenance program.
The importance of chemical balance in your spa
cannot be overemphasized.
SANITIZING:
Please refer to your dealer supplied
sanitizing recommendations
for your start up procedures.
NOTE:
If you live in an area where city water is not
available, or your spa water shows signs of calcium
content, you will need to add a “stain n scale”
chemical on initial fill and then once a week,
thereafter.
* Staining of shell due to improper use of chemicals
(as recommended by chemical manufacturer) will
not be considered a warranty defect by Viking Spas.
