Dimension One Spas Sarena Bay manual Spring Time Startup

2003 Sarena Bay™

Export Owner’s Manual

17.Using a long funnel, begin pouring non-toxic swimming pool or recreational vehicle water system antifreeze into the filter canister fittings, bleeder valve fittings and jet fittings of your system. Continue adding antifreeze until it comes out of the drain fittings or from the opening you are pouring it into. You must complete this task for every jet fitting in the system. Some of the antifreeze will seep into the system from the drain or jet fittings, which is okay, the goal is to have anti-freeze collect in the areas of the plumbing that would normally trap water. Use the funnel to also place antifreeze into the pump housing(s).

Note

Danger

When pouring antifreeze into the rear-most bleeder valve fitting, you may see antifreeze pouring from one or both of the circulation system return fittings.

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!

18.Replace all equipment access panels onto the system.

19.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. 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.

Spring Time Startup

In the spring, or when your 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 quickly. 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.
