OPERATING

YOUR SPA

THERAPY PUMP(S)

Allow the spa to circulate on high-speed (see Spa Side Controls) for 4-5 minutes to discharge air from the plumbing system. Do not expect hot water immediately from the jets; the heater will take several hours to heat the water.

Pr Diagnostic Message

NOTE: Coastal and Ultimate Series spas have a “pump priming” feature which begins at start-up. When the spa is energized, the LCD panel will display a “Pr” message. This mode will last approximately four to five minutes if not exited manually. To exit manually, press the TEMP SET pad. At this time the spa should have water flowing from the jets. If the pump has not primed and water

is not flowing from the jets after two minutes, TURN OFF POWER TO THE SPA. Vent air from the pumps by slightly opening the pump ▶ unions (see TROUBLESHOOTING section, Water Flow). After turning the power on again, the spa will initiate a new priming mode. Repeat steps above.

After you have manually exited the priming mode (or you allowed the spa to automatically exit) the LCD display will momentarily display 102° F and then the display will switch to - -°F. The system requires approximately one minute of water flow to

determine the water temperature. After one minute of water flow, the temperature will be displayed as actual water temperature F. Press the TEMP SET pad to adjust the desired set temperature for the spa.

NOTE: Your spa has been filled and test-run at the factory. The first time your spa is filled with water, some discoloration from residual test water may appear. This will disappear when the spa is completely filled and the filtration system is functioning. Test the water for the proper chemical balance and adjust as necessary. Marquis Spa Care™ Products are recommended. PROPER CHEMICAL BALANCE IS IMPORTANT.

SAFETY ENERGY COVER

When the spa is not in use, the Safety Energy ▶ Cover should be kept on the spa to retain the water’s heat and to keep out dirt, leaves, etc. Your heater will maintain a constant water temperature between uses.

For your safety and convenience, the cover is equipped with adjustable straps with safety locks. Marquis suggests that you use them to help keep out unintended users and prevent covers from being blown off in windy conditions. For high wind areas, Secure Straps are available. Duralift cover lifts

are also available to assist you in cover removal. See your Marquis Dealer.
