START-UP PROCEDURE
4. Fill the spa with water to two-thirds of the way up the
Vortex skimmer opening(s). The use of a
Fill Filter,
#5039, is recommended, especially in areas with high
mineral content in the water.
5. Turn the power on and wait five seconds.
6. At this time the spa should have water flowing from the
jets. If the pump has not primed and water is not
flowing from the jets after two minutes
TURN OFF

and vent air from the pumps
by slightly opening the pump union. (See TROUBLE
SHOOTING, Water Flow.)

SHOCK
the water and test the water chemistry following the instructions in
your Marquis Spa Care Water Treatment Guide, included with the spa. (Also see
WATER CHEMISTRY GUIDELINES below.)
9. Place the cover on the spa. It will take 12 to 24 hours for the water to heat to set
temperature.

WATER CHEMISTRY GUIDELINES
There are several methods available to sanitize the spa water. We recommend using
chlorine or bromine and ozone. No other oxidizing agents are suggested. Use of other
oxidizing agents may damage equipment and void the warranty.
Shock Sanitation:
Shock sanitize your spa water after filling it before using the spa. This treatment provides
initial sterilization as well as kills any algae spores that may be present and oxidize
undesirable minerals and organic matter in the raw water. Repeat shock treatment
anytime the spa is refilled or the water has lost its chemical control due to neglect.
We recommend the use of sodium dichloracyanurate (DyCloro) or lithium hypochlorite.
Calcium hypochlorite is used for swimming pools and is not recommended for spas. Tri-
Cloro is not recommended either.
Its important that you read and follow the safety tips for chemical usage and storage
listed in the
Water Treatment Guide
. (Also see RECOMMENDED CHEMICAL LEVELS
under TROUBLESHOOTING.)
