Diagnostic Messages
OH
“Overheat” (Spa is deactivated)
DO NOT ENTER THE WATER. If the spa water has reached 112° F, remove the spa cover to
cool the water. At 110° F, the spa should reset itself. If the high-limit sensor detects 118° F,
the spa will shut down. When the spa cools to 110° F, press any button to reset the spa. If the
spa will not reset, then shut off power to the spa and call your dealer or service organization.
Sn
“Sensor” (Spa is deactivated)
The high-limit sensor or water temperature sensor is not working. Call your dealer or service
organization.
Air Control
The air control knob is located next to the spa control
panel. Turning the knob counterclockwise will
increase the air flow to the hydrotherapy jets. Turning
the knob clockwise will decrease the air flow.
Spa Care and Maintenance
It is recommended to completely drain the spa at least
every other month. Otherwise, the water becomes
chemically "saturated" and no longer responds to
regular chemical upkeep. The spa should also be
drained before long periods of disuse, or for
equipment repair.
Optional Draining of the Water
Simply siphon water from spa with garden hose.
A sump pump may be used to pump water from
spa.
Use a wet / dry to remove remaining water.
Refilling your Spa
1.
Shut off the main breaker to your spa
equipment pack.
2.
Fill spa with water using a garden hose.
3.
Turn power back on, spa will automatically
start to run and heat water to set temperature.
Your Water Care Program
Before adding chemicals to your spa, do a full water
analysis with a test kit or ask your QCA Spa dealer to
conduct the water test for you.
Step 1:
Always have the circulation system running
before adding any chemicals. As you fill your spa to
the level recommended by the manufacturer, add
cleaning agent to prevent mineral staining and to
protect equipment against scale and corrosion.
Circulate for one hour.
Warning! Shock Hazard! No User
Serviceable Parts.
Do not attempt service of this control. Contact your
dealer or service organization for assistance. Follow
all owners’ manual power connection instructions. A
licensed electrician must perform installation and all
grounding connections must be properly installed.
Step 2:
"Balance" the water so that it is neither
alkaline (scale forming) nor acidic (corrosive).
Balanced spa water should be 7.2 - 7.8 on the pH
scale, with total alkalinity (the measure of the ability
of water to resist a
change in pH) in the range of 80-120 parts per million
(ppm).
A. If pH is lower than 7.2, add pH UP.
B. If pH is higher than 7.8, add pH DOWN.
C. If total alkalinity is below 80, add ALKALINITY
UP.
Step 3:
Shock treat the water with non
chlorine shock to destroy any organic
contaminants that may have
accumulated in the spa during filling.
Step 4:
A bromine residual of 2.0 - 4.0
ppm, as determined by your test kit,
should be maintained at all times.
We suggest you follow a regular maintenance
program to keep your spa water fresh and crystal
clear.
