TESTING AND TREATING THE WATER
Once you have tested the GFCI, verify that water is flowing from the jets. Set the air controls to the lowest setting (see USING THE CONTROLS on page 14). Cover the hydrotherapy spa with the spa cover. The spa cover must be tight (see SECURING THE SPA COVER ON THE SPA on this page). The water will heat at about 6°F per hour with the cover on. If you are using the spa indoors, and the room temperature is maintained at 70°F, it will take approximately 6 to 8 hours for the water to reach the set temperature.
The temperature and the water flow can be set or changed with the controls on the console (see USING THE CONTROLS on page 14).
SECURING THE SPA COVER ON THE SPA
The first time you use the spa, you should test and treat the water. You must also treat the water each time you refill the spa. A test strip and a chemical pack are available at your local pool and spa store. Follow the directions carefully on the chemical pack to test and treat the water. Always keep the chemicals away from children and pets.
See WATER CHEMISTRY on page 17 for information concerning proper water maintenance.
