TESTING AND TREATING THE WATER

For water maintenance, the hydrotherapy spa comes with a starter chemical pack for maintaining the water in the spa. Additional chemicals can be purchased at a pool and spa supply store. Always keep the chem- icals away from children and pets.

The first time you use the spa, you must test and treat the water. You must also treat the water each time you refill the spa. Once you have verified that the spa is functioning properly and the water has circulat- ed for a while, remove the spa cover and follow the instructions contained in your starter chemical pack. Allow the water to circulate for five minutes. Next, test the pH of the water. You will need a pH test kit (not included), which can be obtained at a pool and spa supply store. The pH reading should be between 7.2 and 7.8. Follow the instructions contained in your starter chemical pack to achieve the proper pH level.

See WATER CHEMISTRY on page 14 for information concerning proper water maintenance.

STARTING THE RENEW 207

Once you have tested the GFCI, you should verify the water flow from the pumping unit. Set the air control on the console to the lowest setting (see USING THE CONSOLE on the next page). The pumping unit will heat the water as it pumps. Cover the RENEW 207 with the spa cover and liner. The spa cover must be tight. (See SECURING THE SPA COVER on page 12.) The water will heat at about 3.0¡ F per hour with the cover on. If you are using the spa indoors and the room temperature is maintained at 70¡ F, it will take approximately 10 to 20 hours for the water to reach the set temperature.

The temperature and water flow can be set or changed by the controls on the console (see USING THE CONSOLE at the right).

USING THE CONSOLE

The function of each console control is explained below:

Temperature	Air
Control	Control
	Pump Control

Temperature Control: This control is used to set the temperature of the water. The water heats at about 3.0¡ F per hour with the cover on. The thermostat can be set to heat the water from 70¡ F to 104¡ F. Always use an accurate thermometer to check the tempera- ture of the water.

Note: The RENEW 207 features automatic freeze pro- tection. If the water temperature falls below 40¡ F, the pump will begin circulating and heating the water to prevent the water from freezing.

Pump Control: This control turns the thera-jets on and off. To turn the thera-jets on, press the control once. To turn the thera-jets off, press the control again. The thera-jets will remain off for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, the pump will begin cycling to heat the water if the temperature falls below the minimum setting. Note: To keep the heat cycle from running, the power cord must be unplugged.

Air Control: This control determines the amount of air flowing through the thera-jets during operation. If the control is turned counterclockwise, the amount of air will increase; if the control is turned clockwise, the amount of air will decrease.
