HEATING AND HYDROMASSAGE SYSTEMS

The Hot Spot® Spa uses a two-speed jet pump to operate its hydromassage jets and to circulate the spa water through the heating system (the Mallorca® & La PalmaTM are also equipped with a single speed jet pump used for jets only). The low speed mode of the pump, which is activated automatically by the control thermostat, will cause the spa water to be drawn slowly in through the filter, the heater, and into the pump. The pump, in turn, will push the water back into the spa through the jets. When the JETS button is pushed one time, the spa user can activate the low speed of the jet pump. (The heater may or may not be on, depending on whether the control thermostat has indicated a demand for heat.) When the JETS button is pushed a second time, the high speed of the jet pump will be activated. (This will automatically deactivate the heater if it is operating in a standard 115 volt 20 amp system.)

In the 230 vollt electrical system, if a drop in the water temperature has occurred, the spa heater will operate simultaneously when the jet pump is operating on high speed. On the other hand, in a standard 115 volt 20 amp electrical system, the spa heater will not operate simultaneously when the jet pump is operating on high speed, even if a drop in the water temperature has occurred. In either electrical configuration, when the high speed mode of the jet pump is turned off, the spa will enter a ten-minute “tranquil mode.” During this time the heating system (and simultaneous operation of the jet pump at low speed) will not operate (unless the JETS button is pushed), even if the water temperature has dropped below the control setting. Once the ten-minute period has expired, the spa controller will switch to the maintenance mode and the heating system will be automatically activated.

The Hot Spot Spa is equipped with a state-of-the-art heating system. The system uses an exclusive “flow through” No-Fault®stainless steel heater.

HYDROMASSAGE JETS

The larger jets in your spa allow you to re-direct the jet stream by changing the position of the nozzle. The Air Control lever is used to change the air intensity of all jets simultaneously.

You can also regulate the force of the massage by rotating the jet face clockwise to reduce the force or counter-clockwise to increase the force. Notice that turning off the flow to some jets increases the flow to the other jets. To avoid damage to your spa’s plumbing and components, do

not turn off more than half of these jets at the same time.

Directional nozzles come standard on the Hot Spot models, however, a dual port rotary nozzle can be placed in any jet location desired. The directional nozzles can be removed by rotating the tabs to either side of the nozzle then grasping the nozzle and gently pulling away from the jet faceplate.

ACCESSORY NOTE: dual port rotating nozzles are available from your Hot Spot dealer to replace the directional adjustable nozzles.

PRECISION® JETS

Precision jets are small. They are designed to perform a soft, soothing massage on your back and shoulders. Adjust their pressure using the Air Control lever.

AIR CONTROL SYSTEM

AIR CONTROL VALVE: Turning the Air Control lever to the left position allows for the same volume of air to flow to all individual jets and Precision jets simultaneously. The jet faceplate on the larger jets is then used to control the water intensity of each hydromassage jet.

NOTE: Always turn the Air Control lever to the right position anytime the spa is not being used. This will help make the spa operate more quietly and heat more efficiently when the vinyl cover is in place.

DIVERTER VALVE (LA PALMATM & SORRENTO® MODEL ONLY)

The diverter valve on your spa allows you to direct the flow of water from the pump to several combinations of jets. The functions of this diverter valve can best be learned by experimentation as follows:

1.Set all air controls to the “ON” position by rotating counterclockwise.

2.Turn on the pump.

3.Turn the handle on the diverter valve and see which groups of jets are affected. (Note that you can adjust the diverter valve to any position between the two possible extremes to achieve the jet pressure that feels best to you.)

IMPORTANT: Your spa is not designed to provide full power to all jets when the diverter valve is in the “mid” position.
