Operate Your Spa
Filling and Starting
1.
Place spa on an approved surface and have it
properly wired by a licensed electrician.
2. Before filling spa test spa's electrical. Do not
allow electrical to remain on longer than 30
seconds. If PR is displayed, tun off spa and fill.
Locate drain hose before filling.
3.
Remove exterior spa panel near Service Acces
s
side
4
. Make sure plumbing unions are secure and did
not loosen during shipping. There will be 4
unions on a 1-pump spa; 6 unions on a 2-pump
spa; and 8 unions on a 3-pump spa. Hand-
tighten any loose unions.
5
. Verify all gate valves
in the equip-ment
area are open.
Before operation,
these valves must
be in the UP/
OPEN po-sition
and have plastic
clips in-serted.
Never run the spa
with the gate
valves closed or
without water
circulating for any
period of time.
6.
Remove the filter(s) (weir and basket also, if
e
quipped) from filter chamber. Photos may vary
from your particular spa model.
7.
All of our spas are winterized using a
biodegrad-able antifreeze in case a spa were to
sit idle in
cold weather prior to initial use. Use
a garden
hose to
rinse your spa with regular
tap water. The hose should be placed over jets
and filter canister to push out any remaining
antifreeze from the lines. Fill the foot well
completely and drain using the guidelines stated
in the “Draining Your Spa” section. Repeat this
step if water draining out does not appear to
be clear.
Place a garden hose in the filter chamber and fill
your spa with regular tap water to 2” higher than
the highest jet (excluding neck / shoulder jets). If
the water is too high, it will overflow when people
enter the bathing area. If the water is too low, air
will enter through the fil-ter and possibly cause
airlock or even damage to the unit over time.
Install the filter(s) (weir and basket, if equipped)
into the filter chamber.
Once the water is at the correct level , turn on
the
power at the GFCI breaker.
Note: When the power is turned on, the controls will
per-form a diagnostic check for a few minutes. When
com-plete, the spa will automatically operate at filter
speed
and continue heating until water reaches 100ºF.
If water does not flow from jets when the
pump is
running, there could be an air pocket. See
Priming
the Pump
, for methods of removing air
pockets
from the pump(s).
