TESTING AND TREATING THE WATER
For water maintenance, the hydrotherapy spa comes
with a starter chemical pack for maintaining the water
in the spa. Additional chemicals can be purchased at
a pool and spa supply store.
Always keep the chem-
icals away from children and pets.
The first time you use the spa, you must test and treat
the water.
You must also treat the water each time
you refill the spa.
Once you have verified that the
spa is functioning properly and the water has circulat-
ed for a while, remove the spa cover and follow the
instructions contained in your starter chemical pack.
Allow the water to circulate for five minutes. Next, test
the pH of the water. You will need a pH test kit (not
included), which can be obtained at a pool and spa
supply store. The pH reading should be between 7.2
and 7.8. Follow the instructions contained in your
starter chemical pack to achieve the proper pH level.
See WATER CHEMISTRY on page 14 for information
concerning proper water maintenance.
STARTING THE RENEW 207
Once you have tested the GFCI, you should verify the
water flow from the pumping unit. Set the air control
on the console to the lowest setting (see USING THE
CONSOLE on the next page). The pumping unit will
heat the water as it pumps. Cover the RENEW 207
with the spa cover and liner.
The spa cover must be
tight.
(See SECURING THE SPA COVER on page
12.) The water will heat at about 3.0¡ F per hour with
the cover on. If you are using the spa indoors and the
room temperature is maintained at 70¡ F, it will take
approximately 10 to 20 hours for the water to reach
the set temperature.
The temperature and water flow can be set or
changed by the controls on the console (see USING
THE CONSOLE at the right).
USING THE CONSOLE
The function of each console control is explained
below:
Temperature Control:
This control is used to set the
temperature of the water. The water heats at about
3.0¡ F per hour with the cover on. The thermostat can
be set to heat the water from 70¡ F to 104¡ F. Always
use an accurate thermometer to check the tempera-
ture of the water.
Note: The RENEW 207 features automatic freeze pro-
tection. If the water temperature falls below 40¡ F, the
pump will begin circulating and heating the water to
prevent the water from freezing.
Pump Control:
This control turns the thera-jets on
and off. To turn the thera-jets on, press the control
once. To turn the thera-jets off, press the control
again. The thera-jets will remain off for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, the pump will begin cycling to heat
the water if the temperature falls below the minimum
setting.
Note: To keep the heat cycle from running,
the power cord must be unplugged.
Air Control:
This control determines the amount of air
flowing through the thera-jets during operation. If the
control is turned counterclockwise, the amount of air
will increase; if the control is turned clockwise, the
amount of air will decrease.
