Filling and Powering Up Your Portable Spa

Never fill your spa with soft water.

Soft water makes it impossible to maintain the proper water chemistry and may cause the water to foam, which will ultimately harm the finish of the spa and void your warranty.

Preparing forYour New

1.Once the spa has been placed on an approved surface and has been correctly wired by a licensed electrician, inspect all plumbing connections in the equipment area of your spa. Ensure that these connections are secure and that they did not loosen during shipment.

2.If equipped, open all gate valves in the equipment area. Before operating the spa, these valves must be in the up or “open” position.

VERY IMPORTANT!

Never run the spa with the gate valves closed or without water circulating for long periods of time. Be careful not to over-tighten the plumbing fittings.

3.Remove the cartridge from filter canister.

4.Place a garden hose in the filter canister and fill your spa with regular tap water about six inches from the top.

VERY IMPORTANT!

Always fill the spa through the filter canister! Failure to do so may cause air to be trapped in the filtration system and prevent the pumps from operating properly.

5.Presoak the filters in spa water.

VERY IMPORTANT!

You must presoak the filters before inserting them in the filter canister. Dry filters can allow air into the filtration system which can cause pump failure.

6.Once the water is at the correct level and air is bled, plug in the spa into a dedicated electrical outlet.

Note: When the power is turned on to the spa, the controls will perform a diagnostic check for approximately five minutes. When the diagnostic is complete, the spa will automatically operate at filter speed and continue heating until the spa water temperature reaches the default temperature of 100˚F.

8.If no water is flowing when the pump is running, there could be an air pocket at the suction side of the pump. Shut off power to the spa and loosen the pump union on the suction side of the pump to bleed the air. When air is bled, turn power back on.

9.Install the pre-soaked filters into the filter canister.

The spa is now ready for use.
