CONVERTING THE SPA TO A 240 VOLT
POWER SOURCE
The hydrotherapy spa is designed to operate with either a 120v power source or a 240v power source. For your convenience, the spa is shipped ready to accept a 120v power source. However, you can great- ly improve the performance of the spa by converting the spa’s power supply to receive power from a 240v power source. If the spa is converted, it must be wired directly into an approved 240v GFCI in your home by
a licensed, qualified electrician in accordance with all local, state, and national electrical codes.
Call our Customer Service Department at 1-877-
Important: Only a licensed, qualified electrician should perform the conversion procedure.

Removing and Cleaning the Filter Cartridges:

3.Stick two fingers into the holes in the diverter and lift the diverter and the upper filter cartridge directly upwards until the edge of the diverter clears the housing. Then, tip the diverter towards yourself and pull it out. Note: If the diverter comes off the filter cartridge, reach into the hous- ing and lift out the upper filter cartridge.

7.Inspect the filter cartridges for damage. Replace
the filter cartridges if there is any sign of damage.
8.Put one filter cartridge back into the housing.
9.Push the tube on the diverter into the other filter cartridge as far as it will go. Put the other filter cartridge into the housing.
10.Put the basket back into the housing and press it down until it snaps into place. Close the filter door.
ADJUSTING THE FILTER DIVERTER
The diverter regulates the flow of water to the filter in order to make the pump run smoothly. Open the
diverter fully to begin with. If the pump runs smoothly, no further adjustment is necessary.
If the pump begins to cavitate (if you hear a “cracking” sound or if the speed of the pump surges up then
slows down repeatedly), turn the valve slightly to reduce the water flow. Keep adjusting the valve in small increments until the pump runs smoothly.
