INITIAL SPA SETUP
SETUP STEPS
1.
Put spa in final position that allows for access to equipment and spa components. Master
Spas recommends that at least 3 feet of space be provided around all sides of the spa for
access. This provides adequate space for regular maintenance and service.
2.
Remove front skirt panel (this is the side where the topside control panel is located) so
electrical can be hooked up to the spa control system. This panel is removed by unscrewing
the screws securing the skirt corners and the front skirt panel.
3.
With the front skirt panels removed allowing access to the equipment, be sure all pump and
heater unions are secure. Each pump has 2 unions and the heater has 2 unions. A newly
delivered spa may have loose unions caused in transporting the spa. Check that all slice valves
are open, in the up position. The slice valves may become closed during transportation of
the spa.
4.
Fill spa to the minimum water level label indication located on the spa shell near the filter
area or at least 1" above the filters or filter housing opening. We recommend filling the spa
through the filter area to help reduce air locks from occurring in the filter and heating pump.
Maximum water level should always be maintained below any spa controls (i.e. air controls,
diverters, topside control panel) to prevent water overflowing and leaking into the equipment
area.
NOTE:
In below freezing temperatures, caution should be taken when planning to install a spa
and fill it with water. As it takes time for the water to fill the spa and reach the proper
minimum water level, the water entering the various plumbing lines and equipment
may begin to freeze up when done in winter weather conditions. This could result in
pumps being seized until thawed or other potentially worse freeze damage occurring
to the equipment and plumbing lines.
5.
Turn the power on to the spa. Spa will initially display Priming Mode or “Pr”. This lasts
approximately 5-6 minutes. This time is provided to allow each of the pumps to be activated
and checked to ensure they are not air locked from the spa being filled.
6.
Be sure the adjustable jets in your spa are open by turning the face of the jet. Most of the jets
in your spa are adjustable and removable by turning the face of the jet.
