Using the Hydrotherapy Spa
The RENEW 815 is designed for up to three adults. The RENEW 815 holds 268 gallons of water and offers an automatic, programmable heating (70¡F to 104¡F) and filtration system.
The guidelines below explain how to properly use the RENEW 815. Follow these guidelines to maintain the RENEW 815 for your
PRIMING THE SPA JET UNIT
The water pump in the spa jet unit must be primed before you use the RENEW 815 the first time. You must also prime the pump before using the unit each time you
To prime the spa jet unit, install the provided jet plugs into the four hydrotherapy jets. Remove the filter cap. Fill the filter housing with water. Note: Leave the filter in the housing while filling with water. Replace and tighten the filter cap tightly. Remove the jet plugs and store them in the pouch inside the cover.
IMPORTANT: The spa jet unit may be seri-
ously damaged if the pump is not properly
primed, or if the filter cap is not replaced and fully tightened.
PLUGGING IN THE RENEW 815
Once the RENEW 815 is filled with water up to the fill line, and the pump has been primed, the power cord can be plugged in and the spa jet unit can be turned on. Note: The first time the power cord is plugged in, the spa jet unit will turn on automatically after a 5 to 10 second delay.
When connecting the power cord, plug the power cord directly into a grounded circuit capable of carrying 15 or more amps. No other appliance should be on the same circuit. Replace the power cord immediately, if it becomes damaged.
The power cord is equipped with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), located at the end of the
power cord. You should always test the GFCI before using the RENEW 815.

First, turn on the RENEW 815 by pressing the power button on the console. Once the unit is running, press the GFCI ÒtestÓ button. The RENEW 815 should shut off. Press the ÒresetÓ button. The RENEW 815 should resume normal operation. If the RENEW 815 contin- ues to run after the ÒtestÓ button is pressed, then the GFCI is damaged. Do not use the RENEW 815 until the GFCI has been repaired or replaced by a qualified electrician.
STARTING THE RENEW 815
Once you have tested the GFCI, you should verify the water flow from the pumping unit. Turn the console on (see USING THE CONSOLE on the next page). The pumping unit will heat the water as it pumps. Cover the RENEW 815 with the spa cover. The spa cover must be tight.
The temperature can be set or changed by the control on the console (see USING THE CONSOLE on page 12).
