Filling Your Spa
Now it's time to fill your
spa / hot tub
with water. Do not turn
on the electricity yet until the
spa /
hot tub is completely
filled. To properly fill your
spa / hot tub
:
1. Make sure that the filter (in the filtration canister) is
gently screwed into place. Turn it clockwise until it stops
being careful not to over-tighten it (this avoids cracking
the filter).
2. Connect a standard garden hose to a faucet with regular
cold tap water (not softened water or hot water).
Figure 8 - Filtration Canister
CAUTION:
The water from your hot water tank should not be used to fill
the spa / hot tub.
3. Put the pre-filter* on the other end of the hose, point the pre-filter into a suitable
drain, turn on the water, and allow any sediment to be flushed down the drain.
Once the water stream runs clear, turn off the hose.
4. Put the pre-filter (if equipped) into the filtration canister and turn on the hose.
5.
Fill slowly
. If too much water pressure is used, foaming water can force air into
the pipes and cause startup problems.
* Pre-filters are available at most dealers
Important:
To assure that the pump is properly primed,
fill the
spa / hot tub
through
the filter area only
.
6. Fill the spa / hot tub until the water level is about 1” above all hydrotherapy jets (or
about 6” below the lip of the spa / hot tub). Do not over fill.
Note
: Every person entering a spa / hot tub displaces a given volume of water, so
adjust water level to the number of people regularly using the spa / hot tub.
Turn off the hose and check again for any small leaks.
