Spring Time Startup

Aquatic Fitness System

2003 Owner’s Manual

DO NOT USE AUTOMOTIVE COOLING SYSTEM ANTIFREEZE IN YOUR SYSTEM. IT IS TOXIC AND HARMFUL TO HUMANS AND ANIMALS. CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL SPA DEALER OR RV DEALER TO PURCHASE NON-TOXIC ANTIFREEZE THAT IS COMPATIBLE WITH DRINKING WATER SYSTEMS!

20.Replace all equipment access panels onto the system.

21.Replace thermal cover and secure locking tabs. If your system is located in an area of high snowfall, you may want to take one more extra precaution to safeguard the life of your system cover. Span the cover with (2 or more) 2x4’s cut to length to reach the outside edges of your cover. Be sure to place the 2x4’s on top of the cover parallel to the cover hinge. Next, place a sheet of plywood, cut to fit each half of the cover, over the 2x4’s; this will carry the load of a heavy snow load and prevent the cover from warping or breaking. You can even tarp the system at this point for maximum protection.

In the spring, or when you are ready to start the system back up, follow these instructions.

•Make sure o-rings for pumps are in place and undamaged.

•Make sure all the fittings that you had to loosen are tightened.

•Replace all jet fittings, pump drain plugs, hose bib drains and bleeder valves

•Fill the system up, as you would normally do.

•Turn the power back on.

•Run the jets on high speed for about 15 minutes.

•Drain the water.

•Put your filter(s) back in.

•Refill and treat chemically like you would during a normal water change.

Your system is equipped with automatic freeze protection. However, power outages can cause your system equipment to freeze. During freezing conditions, check your system frequently to ensure proper operation. Always check your system after any power failure to ensure that it is operational. Draining and not operating your system disables this feature.
