Operating instructions

Starting up a Beachcomber Hot Tub
Once the Protec equipment is hooked up using
the separate instructions provided with the Protec
Equipment box, and the electrical connection is
made by a qualified electrician, do the following:
1. Check all union fittings on the Protec or
Portable equipment to ensure that they are
tight. Hand-tightened is sufficient. If leaking
is noted at these fittings you may need to
tighten further or the gasket may be missing
or not seated properly. Unscrew the union
and check.
2. Open all knife valves that are pointing up.
See figure 4. Leave all valves that are facing
down in the closed position. Fill the hot
tub with water from a garden hose. You can
hang the hose over the edge of the hot tub
or hook it up to the drain/fill valve located
down by the pumps and fill from the bottom.
It is recommended you run your water
through your garden hose to waste for a few
seconds before filling the hot tub.
3. Fill the hot tub to half way up the
skimmer opening. Note: If your hot tub
is HushPump™ equipped your level
can be lowered to one third up the
skimmer opening. This will allow for more
displacement if the hot tub is subjected to
use by more than the recommended amount
of people for that model. See Figure 5.
OVER FILLING WILL NOT ALLOW ROOM
FOR DISPLACEMENT FROM PEOPLE
ENTERING THE HOT TUB. UNDER FILLING COULD CAUSE AN
AIRLOCK IN THE SYSTEM AND COULD LEAD TO PUMP AND
HEATER DAMAGE NOT COVERED BY YOUR GUARANTEE.
WARNING
ENSURE YOUR HOT TUB IS SITUATED ON
A LEVEL, HARD SURFACE CAPABLE OF
SUPPORTING BOTH THE WEIGHT OF THE HOT TUB, AND THE
WATER IN IT. SEE PAGE 31 FOR DETAILS.
