Startup Preparations

-Make sure that if spa is equipped with gate valves, that valves are opened. (These gate valves are easily noticed in your access area by the distinct “T” shaped handle.)

-When filling your spa remove the filter, and place hose into filter area.This will fill the plumb- ing first, and hopefully reduce the chance of air lock.

-Fill your spa above top jets (excluding neck jets).

-Spa capacity: 349 gallons/1319 liters

POWERING SPA

A - Most spas do not require pump priming

B - Purge will clear lines of un-desired air pockets

C - If pump makes inconsistent sounds, “cavitations”,then it will need primed (this can be done by loosening the unions)

Due to the variations in spas and outside conditions, spas may take up to 24 hours to reach desired temperature.
