SKIMMER SIDE FILTER
All Viking spas have a skimmer side filter that does not require “air
bleeding” on initial startup. If an air lock develops, loosen the union
on return side of pump. See Diagram (A) below. Let small amount of
water drain from connection while the pump is running. Once the
water begins to flow out of the jets retighten the union. Make sure
Gate Valve is in the “open” position and the black retainer clip is
snapped into place.
Clean spa filters are critical for proper operation. Dirty filters cause
water restriction to the pump, which in turn may cause erratic heating
of the spa. A starving pump will degrade performance, result in dirty
or murky water and may cause the heater to malfunction.
ADD START-UP CHEMICALS
Ask your spa retailer to HELP you set up a chemical maintenance program.
The importance of chemical balance in your spa cannot be overem-
phasized.
SANITIZING
: Please refer to your dealer supplied sanitizing recom-
mendations for your start up procedures.
NOTE
: If you live in an area where city water is not available, or
your spa water shows signs of calcium content, you will need to add a
“stain n scale” chemical on initial fill and then once a week, thereafter.
* Staining of shell due to improper use of chemicals
(as recommended by chemical manufacturer) will not be
considered a warranty defect by Viking Spas.
