Spa Functions
If your new spa pump does not prime (flow) on the initial start-up you may be experiencing an “air lock”.
This normal occurrence can be easily corrected by loosening the plumbing union on the suction side of the Jet or Pump until water
flows into the pump and all air is expelled.

Airlock warning messages
If you receive any of these error messages on your spa you could have an airlock:
FLO
How to release an airlock
Air Lock Release Valves
To bleed air from the pump valves (
see photo opposite)
:
• Turn one of these valves slightly until you can here a hissing noise
• Once water comes out tighten the valve back up, pump has been bled of the trapped air
Pumps
Press the “Jets 1” button once to turn pump 1 on
or off, and to shift between low- and high-speeds
if equipped. If left running, the pump will turn off
after a time-out period. The pump 1 low-speed will
time out after 30 minutes. The high-speed will time out after
15 minutes.
The low-speed of pump 1 runs when the other pump is on. If
the spa is in Ready Mode, Pump 1 low may also activate for
at least 1 minute every 30 minutes to detect the spa tem-
perature (polling) and then to heat to the set temperature if
needed. When the low-speed turns on automatically, it cannot
be deactivated from the panel, however the high speed may be
started.
Filtration and Ozone
Pump 1 low and the ozone generator will run during filtration.
The system is factory-programmed with two filter cycles that
will run 10 minutes after power-up. The filter duration is
programmable.
Freeze Protection
If the temperature sensors within the heater detect a low
enough temperature, then the pump automatically activate to
provide freeze protection. The pump will run either
continuously or periodically depending on conditions.
In colder climates, an optional additional freeze sensor may
be added to protect against freeze conditions that may not be
sensed by the standard sensors. Auxiliary freeze sensor
protection acts similarly except with the temperature
thresholds determined by the switch. See your dealer for details.
Clean-up Cycle
When a pump is turned on by a button press, a clean-up cycle
begins 30 minutes after the pump is turned off or times out.
The pump and the ozone generator will run for 30 minutes or
more, depending on the system.
Temperature and Temp Range
Adjusting the Set Temperature
When using a panel with Up and Down buttons (Temperature
buttons), pressing Up or Down will cause the temperature to
flash. Pressing a temperature button again will adjust the set
temperature in the direction indicated on the button. When the
LCD stops flashing, the spa will heat to the new set
temperature when required.
Pressing the button again will cause the temperature to
change in one direction (e.g. UP). After allowing the display to
stop fl ashing, pressing the Temperature Button will cause the
temperature to flash and the next press will change the tem
-
perature in the opposite direction (e.g. DOWN). The tempera-
ture can be set between 16°C and 40°C (60°F and 104°F).
Press-and-Hold
If a Temperature button is pressed and held when the
temperature is flashing, the temperature will continue to
change until the button is released. If only one temperature
button is available and the limit of the Temperature Range is
reached when the button is being held, the progression will
reverse direction.
LIGHTS
Press light button to turn on and off the lights.
Each consecutive press will alternate through
different lighting modes and colours.

Chlorine Granules - Disinfection
To protect your health, ensure that your spa water is disinfected thoroughly on a regular basis. This is particularly
important in spas, as the high water temperatures provide an ideal breeding ground for bacteria. To prevent water care
problems, there must always be sufficient levels of disinfectant in the water.
The use of Chlorine granules is the traditional method of disinfecting spas. Chlorine granules dissolve quickly, without
residues, and do not bleach the surfaces. The granules are pH-neutral, i.e. the pH value of the water does not change
with the dosing of the granules.
Check the pH value using the 3 function test strips at least once a week, and, if necessary, adjust it to 7.2 – 7.6. Add
10 g/m³ of Chlorine granules after each bathing session. Let the circulation pump run for 10 minutes, and then check
afterwards using 3 function test strips that the ideal value of 1.0 – 1.5 ppm (mg/L). is reached. If necessary, continue
to dose. The granules are dosed directly into hot tub water.

pH Up and pH Down
The pH value is the basis for reliable disinfection. The care
products only work perfectly when the levels are correct,
meaning the water is not harmful to skin, hair or eyes. The ideal
pH value is between 7.2 and 7.6. The pH value is influenced
by various factors. For example it increases when fresh water
is added. Increasing the water temperature or using the jets
changes the pH value. Therefore, check the value at least once
a week and, if necessary, increase the levels using pH Up or
decrease with pH Down. The granules are dosed directly into
the spa water.

Foam Free
If your spa water has a tendency to foam,
then we recommend you add Foam Free.
The product is added directly to the spa
water. If the water continues to foam,
even after the product has been added,
replace the water.
KA-10054
Alkalinity Booster
Alkalinity booster will prevent erratic
changes in the pH level of the spa/hot
tub water. Alkalinity Booster will help the
bromine or chlorine in the spa/hot tub
work more efficiently. Alkalinity Booster
raises the total alkalinity of the spa/
hot tub water preventing any corrosion
that could be cause by low alkalinity.

Spa Clear
Super highly Concentrated Clarifier
• Adds brilliance back to spa water
• Aids filter in removing suspended
particles
• Non-toxic. Will not affect pH level.
• Reduces chlorine demand when
used regularly
• Restores water clarity
KA-10053
Scale Control
The overall hardness is a measure of the amount of calcium
and magnesium in the water. Scale Control prevents calcium
precipitations forming on the walls and in the pipes of your spa. You
can find out the overall hardness level of your water by contacting
your local water supplier. With a level over 200 ppm (mg/L).,
heating the water can cause lime-scale deposits on the walls,
creating rough surfaces. To prevent lime-scale deposits, always
use Scale Control after refilling.

Test strips
Canadian Spa 3 Way Test strips to check the levels of Chlo-
rine, PH and Total Alkalinity. Simple and easy to use. Ensure
your spa is always safe to use. Pack of 50 strips. Dip a test
strip into the water and compare to the colour chart to take
readings for: - Chlorine, pH, Total Alkalinity.
TIP:
Chlorine and pH should be checked EVERY TIME the spa
is used to ensure that the water is safe to use! Go to App, put
in your test results and it will tell you what to add and how
much.

Spa Flush
Annually flush the spa to
remove bio-film that has
attached to the interior of
the spa pipes.
