READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY 1. DANGER: Risk of Injury. The suction fittings in this hot tub are sized to match the specific water flow created by the pump.
• Persons suffering from obesity or a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems or diabetes should consult a physician before using a hot tub. 4. SAFETY INFORMATION: When using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following: WARNING: Children should not use hot tubs without adult supervision. WARNING: Do not allow children to submerge their head under water.
If you sense any of the symptoms of hyperthermia, safely exit the hot tub immediately. Cautions • Observe a reasonable time limit when using the hot tub. Long exposures at higher temperatures can cause high body temperature. Symptoms may include dizziness, nausea, fainting, drowsiness, and reduced awareness. These effects could possibly result in drowning. • Always test the hot tub water temperature before entering the hot tub. Enter and exit the hot tub slowly. Wet surfaces can be very slippery.
• Provide adequate drainage away from the equipment and adequate elevation to allow draining by syphon. • Location of electrical supply. Both 120 volt and 240 volt systems require hard wire installed from the electrical source to the spa support pack terminal. • Locations at least 5 feet (1.52 m) from all metal surfaces.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS: All Self Contained Volt Electric Spa Packs • Extension cords are not to be used in conjunction with the operation of the spa. Low voltage damage could result, which is not covered by warranty. • Your 240 volt spa will require a 50 amp dedicated circuit breaker, GFCI, with proper wire size for length of run. The circuit must have 4 wires, 2 hots, a neutral and a ground. • If you have any doubts, have your electrical system checked by a certified electrician.
North America - GFCI Installation Important Note: Installation of the GFCI - Circuit Breaker, including ampere sizing and selection of conductor size and type, must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code, or the Canadian Electrical Code, and all Federal, State/Provincial and local codes and regulations in effect at the time of installation.
Europe - R.C.D. Installation - Typical Important Note: Installation of the R.C.D. - Circuit Breaker, including ampere sizing and selection of conductor size and type, must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with National, Regional and Local Codes and Regulations in effect at the time of installation.

Start-Up Instructions Filling Your Spa • Your new spa has left the factory cleaned and polished. You may have to clean out any dirt that has accumulated during shipping. Use warm water and sponge or cloth. • Be sure all fittings are connected, secure and hand tightened in the equipment enclosure. In cold weather months your Futura Spa is shipped with fittings disconnected to ensure no damage or freezing occurs during the spa’s route from our factory to your home.
• Adjust water balance (pH, TA, calcium hardness) to recommended levels and add sanitizer. See section Hot Tub Water Maintenance • The hot tub will require 8-10 hours to reach the desired temperature for 240 volt installations. in.k300 TechBook • Keep insulated safety hard cover on the hot tub, and the air controls closed during the entire heat up process. 3 in.k300 2 Pump Solid State Control System in.

Cold Weather Conditions In the case of a power failure or equipment breakdown the spa's freeze protection can not be activated. If the spa will not be running for an extended period in freezing conditions steps must be taken to prevent ice damage to the spa. Damage caused by freezing is not covered by any warranties. Drain the spa and place a small 100 watt lamp or small heater inside the spa cabinet. The heat will help prevent freezing for a short time.
• Reinstall filter and lid and turn power ON to the spa. Tighten air relief valve once any trapped air has been bleed off. Jets Types of Jets Your Futura Spa comes with different types of jets and jet configurations. Each type of jet has a specific purpose and operates differently than the others. All jets with the exception of the fixed ozone jet in the footwell are adjustable and can be turned on or off. They all combine to create a luxurious and invigorating hydrotherapy environment.
Jet Water Flow Adjustment Your Futura Spa features adjustable water flow on specific hydrotherapy jets. To reduce the flow: grasp the outer flange of the jet, and turn clockwise approximately a 1/4 turn. When it hits the stop, the jet is considered closed, and flow will be restricted. To increase the flow: from the closed position, turn the jet counter-clockwise approximately 1/4 turn. When it hits the stop, the jet is open, and there is maximum jet flow.
9-Bulb LED Underwater Light (If Equipped) The 9-Bulb LED Underwater Light replaces the standard underwater light. Pressing the "Light" button on the top side control will turn the light on. Each subsequent press will change the mode of the light. After all the lighting modes are cycled through, the next press of the "Light" button will turn the LED lighting off. Motion Glow Lighting (If Equipped) Motion Glow Lighting is 16 - 20 individual LEDs placed around the top of the spa.
pH is a measure of relative acidity or alkalinity of water and is measured on a scale of 0 to 14. The midpoint of 7 is said to be neutral, below which is acidic and above which is alkaline. In hot tub water, it is ideal to keep the water between 7.2 to 7.8. A low pH will be corrosive to metals in the hot tub equipment. A high pH will cause minerals to deposit on the interior surface (scaling).
If your spa is to be used during the winter months in cold climate where the danger of freezing exists, certain precautions should be taken to avoid damage. An increased circulation cycle, and use of a rigid foam cover are suggested. Contact your dealer for advice. Many spa owners find that outdoor wintertime soaking is quite enjoyable, and we certainly suggest the use of a spa year-round, although certain situations do require closing the unit for the winter months (i.e., vacation homes).
Safety Hard Cover When a hot tub is uncovered, over 90% of heat is lost from the water surface. Safety Hard Covers are designed for maximum thermal efficiency. They are hinged in the middle for easier handling, and the zip fastener allows the tapered foam inserts to be changed if damaged. The skirt of the safety hard cover hangs over lip of the spa to protect the acrylic. The locks, with one part fastened to the cabinet, prevent small children or animals from entering the hot tub.
• Check if pump is running. No light • Check “light” button. • Check G.F.C.I. “test” and “reset” buttons. • Check if light is plugged into spa pack • Check for burnt out bulb Water is cloudy • Increase filtration cycle. • Test water chemistry. • Clean/replace filter cartridge.
