Operating Instructions
Now that your Venterra spa is in place, you are probably eager to take advantage of its unique designed-in
features—especially the patented Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath hydromassage performance. Besides being a beautiful
addition to your indoor decor or outdoor landscaping, your Jacuzzi whirlpool spa will provide you with the ultimate in
spa pleasure.

Basic Control Set-Up

The control set-up on your Venterra spa is designed to give you fingertip control of the heater, air induction, light
and whirlpool, filter, and blower systems of your unit from inside or outside your spa. Follow the basic control set-
up described below to familiarize yourself with the several functions of the control panels located on the top of the spa.

CAUTION

Do not turn on power to the spa unless it is filled with water to the normal water level. (See water line indicator
mark on skimmer frame.) When the power is on, the built-in timer may activate the system even though the
SYSTEM is turned off at the control panel. If the spa’s motor/pump is actuated when there is not sufficient
water in the unit, the circulation pump and heater could be irreparably damaged. Not heeding this caution
will nullify the warranty. In addition to damaging the unit, operating the spa with insufficient water could
cause a fire.
OPERATION
• Using a garden hose, fill the spa with water to the
water line indicator mark on the skimmer frame. (see
page 21 for information on using Water Rainbow as a
fill spout if desired.)
• At the house service panel, turn on the circuit breaker
or switch that controls the electrical service to your
spa. Plug the line cord into a 115 VAC 20 Amp
receptacle. (Make sure there is no other appliance on
that circuit.)
