SLATE CABINETS
Optional Slate cabinets are custom-built and painted in our factory. We
recommend lightly brushing the cabinet with a SOFT bristle brush to
remove any dirt or stains. For more information on the care of your Slate
cabinet, please contact your Local Dealer.
COVER CARE
A well cared for spa cover is a thing of beauty in its own right. Be sure to
clean and condition your cover at least once a month – more often if
needed. Your cover needs to be cleaned and conditioned because vinyl
can be dry and become brittle, spoiling your spa’s appearance. Dry,
brittle vinyl can also tear at the seams and stress points. Quality materi-
als, internal sewn reinforcing and careful workmanship can only go so
far against the ravages of Mother Nature. See the specific Warranty card
enclosed with your cover for further details.
When you shock your spa you need to remove the cover for a minimum of 30
minutes to ensure that the chemical gas off can escape from the spa.
You are required to keep the spa covered at all time when not in use to protect
the shell from harmful UV rays.
A covered spa will use less electricity when maintaining the desired water
temperature
See the manual that comes with the cover for proper mounting of the cover
locks
The cover should remain locked at all times to prevent unauthorized entry into
the spa and potential drowning.
Do not Sit, Stand or Lie on your cover. Nor should you place any heavy object
on top of the cover as this may damage the structure.
VERY IMPORTANT:
We recommend a vinyl conditioner for your spa
cover. Your local dealer carries a wide variety of care and maintenance
products. Choose a pleasant day each month to remove your cover from
the spa and lay it on a flat surface accessible by garden hose. Douse
the cover with a healthy amount of water from the hose or a bucket to
rinse away loose dirt or debris. Using a soft bristle brush and a mild
solution of dishwashing liquid (about one teaspoon of detergent to two
gallons of water), and with a gentle circular motion, scrub the cover
clean. Be careful not to let any areas of the cover dry before they’re
thoroughly rinsed. Now apply the vinyl conditioner as directed on the
container. Massage the conditioner into the cover in a gentle but firm
manner. Before replacing the cover on your spa, wipe and rinse any dirt
from the bottom of the cover. When you are ready, put the cover on the
spa.
NOTE:
To remove tree sap, use lighter fluid (not charcoal lighter but the
fluid used in cigarette lighters). Use sparingly, then immediately apply
conditioner to that area.
GLOSSARY OF TERMS
AIR CONTROL VALVE:
Mounted generally on the lip of the spa, it in-
duces warm air from the equipment enclosure into the jet stream through
venturi action.
WATER DIVERTER VALVE:
The large diverter is used to divert water to
various seats in the spa.
OWNER’S MANUAL
2017
ON/OFF DIVERTER VALVE:
The smaller diverter is used to control
water flow and to turn on/off the neck jets and/or waterfalls.
FILTER AIR RELIEF VALVE:
Located on top of dome filter lid. Used to
release air from the filter.
SKIMMER BLEEDER VALVE:
Located in the skimmer area, needs to be
loosened while filling the spa. This will help eliminate air from being
trapped in the spa equipment.
OZONATOR:
Available as an option. The ozonator produces natural
ozone through the Corona Discharge process. Continuous use of an
ozonator can dramatically reduce sanitizer consumption.
CONTROL BOX (Pack):
Basically the “heart” of the spa. Power is distrib-
uted to any/all functions of the spa: pumps, ozonator, LED lighting,
heater element, etc.
CONTROL PANEL:
Mounted on the top lip of the spa and controls the
functions of the spa.
DRAIN VALVE:
Used in draining of the spa. Normally located in the
equipment area.
EQUIPMENT ENCLOSURE:
An enclosure that houses the control box,
pump(s) and other electrical components.
FILTER:
The filter cleans the spa by passing water through a filter car-
tridge where debris and impurities are removed. Top load filter means the
filter cartridge is accessible through the top of the spa. Front access
skimmer means cartridge is accessed through door of skimmer.
FLOOR DRAIN:
The floor drain is covered by a grate-type cover and is
utilized when draining the spa. It also acts as the return for the ozonator.
You will see bubbles emitted from this drain, which is the result of water
mixing with the ozone output.
GATE VALVES:
Red with a grey handle is located at the inlet and outlet
of the pumping system. Used while servicing the spa equipment, the
valves open or close the water flow to the equipment. To remain open for
normal use, turn fully counterclockwise.
KNIFE VALVES:
A white “T”-handled valve, same functions as Gate
valve (see above), except to open them you pull up on handle.
HEATER:
The electronically controlled heater raises the temperature of
the spa to the desired setting.
LEDs:
LEDs and their special lenses can be used to achieve the desired
mood lighting in the spa and spa jets.
SKIMMER:
This is the rectangular outlet at the water level. The skimmer
removes surface debris to the filter. The water level in the spa should be
kept ½ to ¾ up on the skimmer for optimum operation.
