Using the Hydrotherapy Spa

The hydrotherapy spa is designed to seat five adults. The spa holds 295 gallons of water and offers a heat- ing system (80°F to 104°F), a filtration system, and adjustable hydrotherapy jets. Follow the guidelines below to use and maintain the spa for your long-term enjoyment.

WIRING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA

The hydrotherapy spa is designed to operate with a 240-volt power source. It must be wired directly into a grounded circuit with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) capable of carrying 30 amps. No other appliance should be on the same circuit.

Connection of the spa to the 240-volt power source must be performed by a qualified, licensed electrician and must comply with all local, state, and federal electrical codes. The qualified, licensed electrician can refer to the instructions on the inside of the electronics package for information about con- necting the spa to a 240-volt power source.

Once the spa is filled with water, the power can be turned on. Note: The first time the power is turned on, the spa will start automatically.

TESTING AND TREATING THE WATER

The first time you use the spa, you should test and

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 CONTROLS on page 12). The pumping unit will heat the water as it pumps. Cover the hydrotherapy spa with the spa cover. The spa cover must be tight (see SECURING THE SPA COVER ON THE SPA on this page). The water will heat at about 6°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 6 to 8 hours for the water to reach the set temperature.

The temperature and the water flow can be set or changed with the controls on the console (see USING THE CONTROLS on page 12).

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

STARTING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA

You should always test the GFCI before using the hydrotherapy spa. First, turn on the spa by pressing the jet button on the console (see USING THE CON- TROLS on page 12). Once the spa is running, press the GFCI “test” button. The spa should shut off. Press the “reset” button. The spa should resume normal operation. If the spa continues to run after the “test” button is pressed, the GFCI is damaged. Do not use the spa until the GFCI has been repaired or replaced by a qualified electrician.
