EMPTYING THE SPA
If you intend emptying the water from the spa, disconnect the Portapac from the power supply
(e.g. at the wall socket) to ensure the Portapac will not be accidentally switched on while the
spa is empty. If the Portapac is run without water in the spa, serious damage or injury may
result.
OVER-TEMPERATURE DEVICE (45˚)
There are two Over-Temperature devices which are safety mechanisms ensuring the water
in the spa will not rise above 45˚C. If for any reason the water inside the Portapac reaches
45˚C, the Over-Temperature device will automatically shut down the Portapac and the Power
Indicator Light (1) will begin blinking.
If this scenario occurs, the cause of the problem must be identified and repaired (refer to
Troubleshooting on page19). Once resolved the small RESET button located on the side of
control box on top of the Portapac (shown in figure 8) should be pressed. The second reset
button located on the side of the control box (shown in figure 9) for the mechanical over
temperature device in behind the acorn nut. To access the reset button remove the acorn nut
and depress (shown in figure 10).
This should be done whilst power to Portapac is off and only done after water in Portapac has
cooled below 45˚C. After a short delay the Portapac will be ready for operation again. If the
problem has not been resolved, the Over- Temperature device will automatically shut down the
Portapac again.
This safety device indicates a significant fault in the spa system and should not be ignored or
tampered with.
