POWERING UP YOUR SPA
Once the spa is properly wired and filled with water, the spa power can
be turned on and Start-up chemicals added.
1. Turn on RCD breaker. If breaker trips immediately check
Neutral and Ground Wire connections. Upon initial power up,
4 sets of numbers flash on the LED display of the topside
Console. The last number in the sequence is the incoming
power meter which can be used to verify that the spa is wired
correctly.
2. The spa begins an automatic priming routine which will last 6
minutes (
“Pr”
is on the LED display).
3. The priming routine will automatically run each spa pump to
prime. When the
“Pr”
is displayed, press any PUMP button
to prime that pump or wait for the priming routine to turn
on the Pump.
IMPORTANT:
To avoid pump damage, do not run
pumps for more than 1 minute without moving water. If no water
is moving, turn the power off and perform air lock procedure.
4. The Topside Console display flashes
“38C/100F”
then press
“--C/F”
for approximately 2 minutes to determine water
temperature as it flows through the heater.
5. The default pre-set temperature is 36.5°C. The last measured
temperature is constantly displayed on the LCD readout. This
temperature will be current only when the pump has been
running for at least 2 minutes. Set the desired temperature
between 26- 40°C (80-104°F) by pressing the temp button(s).
If the water temperature is below the set temperature, the spa’s
heater and heat indicator light will turn on. All features of
the Topside Console will be available. The spa will heat
approximately 1° every 30 minutes per 1,000 litres.
6. Check for leaks! Although spas are fully checked at the factory,
shipping & delivery might cause a leak. Remember to pay
particular attention to barrel unions adjoining the heater.
Contact your Canadian Spa dealer directly if there is a problem.
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.

How your spa functions
BASIC:
Water is drawn through the drains in the foot well and the
skim filter on the side of the spa. Water is pumped through a filter,
over the heater, into the Ozone Reaction Chamber and returns to the
jets. Water entering the spa has been filtered, heated and mixed with
air ready for use.
Note:
A sensor on the heater ensures water flow
over the heater before allowing the heater to energise.
JETS:
All regular jets can be flow adjusted by rotating the face of the
jet. As the jet is turned clockwise the air at the jet is gradually re-
duced, then the water. As the jet is rotated counter-clockwise, water
flow is increased then the water and air mix is increased.
FILTER:
A weir is located on the skimmer. It is used to skim oils and
floating pieces of debris from the surface of the spa. (If applicable,
the weir should be facing into the skimmer opening).
AIR CONTROLS:
Air Controls inject air into the jets via a venturi
system. Rotating the left or right control from Min. to Max. activates
the air control.
NOTE: The system functions when your jets are at full power only.
