POSITIONING YOUR SPA
Because your spa is completely self-contained, you can locate it just
about anywhere you wish... on a deck, patio or even indoors. Just be sure
to position it above ground, in an area with good drainage, and on a level,
continuous surface that contacts the bottom of the spa fully. A concrete
slab is best but not required. Locate your spa so that the equipment is
above grade and not subject to flooding. WATER SHOULD ALWAYS
DRAIN AWAY FROM THE SPA.
SAFETY DEVICES
Your spa is equipped with the following safety features:
1) A water flow sensor that prevents the heater from activating unless
there is sufficient water flow, thus preventing “dry firing” of the
heater.
2) Automatic spa shutdown timers that shut off the spa jet pump after 30
minutes of operation. The Diplomat, Chairman, Californian,
Nautilus, Aurora I and Aurora II can be programmed to shut off after
longer intervals (I.E. 45, 60 minutes). The spa light automatically
shuts off after 4 hours.
3) An electronic high limit switch that automatically shuts off the heater
if the spa temperature exceeds 112˚ F.
4) An automatic freeze sensor which turns the spa on if the water tem-
perature in the heater manifold drops below 40˚ F and turns the sys-
tem off when the temperature rises above 45˚ F.
