Aquatic Fitness System 2002 Owner’s Manual Swim Jet Pumps Air Volume Controls Produce water flow through the swim jets. The swim jet pumps are high-speed pumps only. The second and third pump buttons control these pumps. Regulate the amount of air that mixes with the water in the swim jets to create more volume in the swim flume. The more air you add to the jets, the stronger the current becomes.
Aquatic Fitness System 2002 Owner’s Manual Using Your Aquatic Fitness System Before you Start To complete the installation of your Aquatic Fitness System you must add water. Your dealer cannot complete safety checks, test equipment operation, or conduct initial training until you have added water. The Aquatic Fitness System should be filled until the water level is approximately two inches above the bottom of the tile line.
Aquatic Fitness System 2002 Owner’s Manual Pump 1 Button: Press the button once to turn on Pump 1 to Low Speed. A second press will turn it to High Speed. A third press will turn the pump off. A built-in timer will shut the pump off after 20 minutes of operation unless done so manually. The Pump 1 Arrow Indicator will appear on the display while the pump is running. If the filter icon appears, a filtration cycle has begun and you will not be able to turn the pump off.
Aquatic Fitness System 2002 Owner’s Manual Start-Up Procedures 1) Test source water for Calcium (Hardness), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and metals (i.e. Iron, Copper, and Manganese). Consult with an authorized Dimension One Spas Dealer if you need assistance testing your source water. Knowing these three water conditions is important to properly balancing your Aquatic Fitness System water.
Aquatic Fitness System 2002 Owner’s Manual b) Water Condition: Total Alkalinity below 80 ppm Add 4 ounces of Dimension One Spas -- pH/Alkalinity Increaser (Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate) with the jets turned on high speed. Continue running jets on high speed for at least 5 minutes. Turn jets off, retest and repeat procedure until the TA reads close to 80 ppm. When Total Alkalinity is below 80 ppm the pH will change faster than the Total Alkalinity. c) Water Condition: pH above 7.
Aquatic Fitness System 2002 Owner’s Manual WATER TESTING: We recommend testing Aquatic Fitness System water twice a week with Dimension One Spas -- Spa Test Strips. These are available from an authorized Dimension One Spas Dealer. Adjust total alkalinity first, when TA is in the proper range, adjust the PH, then check and adjust the sanitizer level. TOTAL ALKALINITY: Total Alkalinity is a measurement of the water’s ability to resist changes in pH.
Aquatic Fitness System 2002 Owner’s Manual CHLORINE (SODIUM DICHLORO-S-TRIAZINETRIONE): Chlorine can be used as a water sanitizer for Aquatic Fitness Systems. However, it is pH sensitive. To be effective, a Aquatic Fitness System’s pH range must be maintained between 7.2 – 7.8. pH levels above 7.8 reduce Chlorine’s efficiency and pH levels below 7.2 causes Chlorine to dissipate rapidly.
Aquatic Fitness System 2002 Owner’s Manual SUPER CHLORINATION: Super chlorination also quickly oxidizes the contaminants and burns out body waste such as perspiration, hair spray, lotions, etc. that cannot be removed by the filter. This waste build-up reduces the power of the sanitizer making the water dull and irritating to the eyes and skin. This waste build-up may also produce an unpleasant odor. When this occurs, “Free – Chlorine” has become “Chloramine” which is ineffective for sanitizing.
Aquatic Fitness System 2002 Owner’s Manual SEQUESTERANTS (AGENTS FOR CONTROLLING STAINS AND SCALE): A weekly dose of Dimension One Spas -- Sequestrant should help minimize staining caused by metals, and scale caused by excessive Calcium (over 500 ppm). Dimension One Spas -- Sequestrant should be added to the water upon initial fill or whenever changing the water. This will suspend metals and Calcium in the water and increase the life of the equipment.
Aquatic Fitness System 2002 Owner’s Manual Care For Your Aquatic Fitness System Draining Your Aquatic Fitness System Your Aquatic Fitness System is drained by way of a gravity drain that you connect to a garden hose.
