STARTING
YOUR SPA
START-UP PROCEDURE
Your spa is equipped with solid state preprogrammed Comfort Controls specific to your spa model. Please see the CONTROLS section listed under your particular spa series model.
To start your spa, you will need a spa water test kit and an underwater thermometer. It is important to follow each of these steps when starting your spa.
Start-up procedure for all models:

2.Make sure that the suction fittings in the
footwell are in place and undamaged. 3. Open the equipment door. On one
