CONVERTING THE SPA TO A 240 VOLT POWER SOURCE
The hydrotherapy spa is designed to operate with either a 120v or 240v power source. For your conve- nience, it is shipped ready to be plugged directly into a 120v/15 amp home outlet.
However, you can greatly improve the performance of the spa by converting the spaÕs power supply to receive power from a 240v power source. If the spa is converted, it must be wired directly into a 240v GFCI in your home by a qualified electrician.
You will need to call our Customer Service Department
WARNING: Only a qualified electrician should per- form the conversion procedure.

10.Put the basket back into the housing and press down until it snaps into place. Close the weir door.
ADJUSTING THE FILTER DIVERTER
The diverter regulates the flow of water to the filter in order to make the pump run smoothly. Start by leav- ing the valve wide open. If the pump runs smoothly, no further adjustment will be necessary.
If the pump begins to cavitate (if you hear a cracking sound or if the speed of the pump surges up and down), turn the valve slightly to reduce water flow. Keep adjusting the valve in small increments until the pump runs smoothly.
