• DO
unlock and release all cover locks before attempting to open cover.
• DO
lock the cover when the hot tub is not in use.
• DO
cover the hot tub with the vinyl cover when the hot tub is not in use, whether it is empty or full.
• DO
remove snow build-up to prevent vinyl cover damage.
• DO
keep the cover open during super-chlorination or shock treatment of the hot tub water.
• DO NOT
walk, stand, climb, or sit on the vinyl cover or retractable cover system.
• DO NOT
lift the cover or operate the retractable cover system by using the cover locks. They are not designed to be used as handles.
• DO NOT
use any chemicals or cleaners except those recommended by Watkins Manufacturing Corporation, or its Authorized Sales and
Service Dealer.
• DO NOT
use hard, sharp, or metal objects, such as a car windshield scraper, to remove ice. Such objects can cut, mar, or puncture the
vinyl surfaces.
WARNING:
Keep unsupervised children away from the cover. Always lock the cover in place after use! Keep hands away from the hinging
points. Do not allow anyone to climb, sit, or stand on the cover when in the open position. Injury may occur, as well as damage to the cover and
mechanism.
VACATION CARE INSTRUCTIONS
If you plan to be away from home, follow these instructions to ensure that the water quality of your hot tub is maintained:
SHORT TIME PERIODS (3-5 DAYS):
1. Adjust the pH by following the instructions outlined in the Water Quality and Maintenance section.
2. Sanitize the water by following the shock procedures also listed in the Water Quality section.
3. Lock your cover in place using the cover lock straps.
4. Upon your return, sanitize the water by following the shock procedures, and balance the pH.
LONG TIME PERIODS (5-14 DAYS):
Prior to leaving:
1. At least one day before you leave, set the temperature to its lowest level. This setting should be 80°F (26°C).
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Hot tub water oxidizers such as sodium dichlor (chlorine) maintain their level of effectiveness substantially longer in
warm water (80°F, or 26°C) than in hot water (101°F to 104°F, or 38°C to 40°C).
2. Adjust the pH as required. Sanitize the water by following the shock procedures.
Upon your return:
3. Sanitize the water by following the shock procedures. Return the set temperature to its original setting. The hot tub water will be safe for you
to use once the Free Chlorine Residual level has dropped below 5.0 ppm.
NOTE:
If you will not be using your hot tub for an extended period of time (in excess of 14 days) and an outside maintenance service (or
neighbor) is not available to assist with the water maintenance, draining or winterizing of the hot tub is recommended. Hot tubs equipped with
our FreshWater
®
III ozone system can extend this to 4 weeks. The FreshWater III ozone system does not guard against possible freezing
damage, however.
PREVENTION OF FREEZING
Your Limelight
™
hot tub has been designed and engineered for year-round use in any climate. In some areas, extremely cold temperatures (below
10°F, or -23°C), combined with strong wind, may cause partial freezing of the jet pump, even though the water inside the hot tub remains at the
selected temperature. The energy efficiency of the hot tub may also decrease during these cold periods, as the heater will cycle more frequently.
To avoid most problems associated with component freezing, the 24-hour continuous filtration system has been designed with bleed lines
connecting the jet pump with the heating/filtering system. Since the heating system’s circulation pump runs continuously, cooler water in the
heating and filtering systems is continually being replaced by warm water from the hot tub. As an additional precaution against partial freezing of
some of the components, the equipment compartment can be insulated with an insulating kit (available from your Limelight dealer). This insulating
kit will also help to maximize the hot tub’s energy efficiency.
NOTE:
When warmer weather returns (approx. 60°-70°F, or 16°-21°C), the insulating kit must be removed to prevent overheating of the jet pump.
Please contact your Limelight dealer for additional information, or to order the insulating kit .
WINTERIZING
In very cold weather you may not want to venture outside to use your hot tub. In this case, you may move it to a heated area, or leave it as is until
the weather warms. If you do leave the hot tub unused for a long period of time in severely cold weather, you should drain the hot tub to avoid
accidental freezing due to a power or equipment failure.
