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 overempha-
sized.
SANITIZING
: Please refer to your dealer supplied sanitizing recom-
mendations 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.
