START-UP INSTRUCTIONS
FILLING THE SPA
Clear all debris from inside the spa. At the factory your spa shell was cleaned and polished but you may want to treat it with a
specially formulated spa cleaner available from your dealer prior to filling it for the first time.
Make sure the spa has been installed correctly, including electrical wiring connections as specified in the wiring diagram, and that the
spa is level.
Do Not Over Fill. Never fill your spa with water from a water softener, or use hot water while filling. Be certain that your spa drain
is shut off. Remove your filter lid. Place your garden hose into the filter housing and begin filling with clean water see (figure 5) Page
8. Continue filling spa until the water level is 3 inches above the filter housing see figure 4. Remember every person entering a spa
displaces a given volume of water, so adjust water level to number of people who will be entering spa.
If your water is extremely “hard,” it is preferable to fill half-way with hard water and the rest of the way with softened water. Or, you
may fill the entire spa with hard water if you use a special water additive available from your spa dealer.
Always refill spa through one filter housing to purge any trapped air from pump intakes. Failure to do so may cause air to be trapped
in pump #1intake creating an air lock, preventing the pump from circulating water. Be sure that both shutoff valves are fully open.
Make sure the filter cartridge is clean before installing. See “Cleaning the Filter” for specific cleaning procedures (see page 14 ).

Remove filter lid and rotate top filter housing counterclockwise and remove assembly. Remove filter cartridge upward and inspect
element for cleanliness. With the cartridge element removed is the spa is now ready to be filled using a common garden hose. Once
the spa is filled with water 3 inches above the filter housing, re-install filter cartridge and housing assembly then lock it back in place
and replace filter lid.
