Using the Hydrotherapy Spa
The hydrotherapy spa is designed to seat seven adults. The spa holds approximately 375 gallons of water and offers a heating system (80°F to 104°F), a filtration system, and adjustable hydrotherapy jets. Follow the guidelines below to use and maintain the spa for your
Once the spa is filled with water, the power can be turned on. Note: If this is the first time the spa has been turned on, or if the pumps have been drained, the pumps must be primed before the spa can be used.
PRIMING THE PUMPS
To prime the pumps, follow the steps below.
1.Remove the access panels (see ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE ACCESS PANELS on page 18).
2.Make sure all of the gate valves in the plumbing system are open to allow as much air as possible to escape from the plumbing and the controller during the filling process (see step 2 on page 9). Fill the spa to the level shown in step 3 on page 10. Use towels to soak up any water that leaks from the plumbing and the pumps.
3.Loosen the indi-
cated collar on one of the
pumps to vent the air from the pump. Repeat for the other pump.
Allow a small 
amount of water
and air to escape from the pumps and related plumbing. Then, retighten the collars.
4.Turn the power on at the breaker. The spa will begin an automatic priming sequence.
A countdown from “005” to “000” will appear in the display of the console.
Once the countdown has reached “000,” “Pr” will be displayed. “Pr” indicates that the controller is in the
5.As soon as “Pr” is displayed, push pump button 1 once to start the pump on low speed and then push the button again to switch to high speed. Repeat for pump button 2.
If water is not flowing from the jets after two min- utes, turn the power off. Important: Do not allow the pumps to run without priming for more than two minutes. Under no circumstances allow a pump to run without priming beyond the end of the four to five minute priming mode. Doing so may cause damage to the pump and cause the spa to go into an overheat condi- tion.
Repeat the process of venting the air from the pumps and the controller and priming the pumps until water flows from the jets.
6.When the priming sequence is completed, the spa will automatically return to the normal heating and filtering mode. During the priming process, the heater is disabled to allow the pumps to be primed without activating the heater under low flow or no flow conditions.
Once the pumps are primed, push pump button 1 and pump button 2 to turn the pumps off.
7.The console will display “100F” and then
