Preparing the Spa for Use
Your new Home & Garden Spa has been put through rigorous testing during
the manufacturing process. It is not uncommon that some water may remain in
the plumbing aer testing and may leave spots on the acrylic nish or cabinet.
Wipe the spa and cabinet with a clean so rag. Do not use household cleaners
that contain bleach or ammonia (cleaners that are manufactured to clean glass)
because they may have an adverse eect on the surfaces of the spa and have
a negative reaction with chemicals used to maintain water chemistry. Never
use abrasive cleaners on the cabinet, cover or acrylic surface. ey may do
permanent, irreversible damage.
With the drain valve open, rinse the inside of the spa with clear water. With
the lters removed and the drain valve open, run water through the ltration
canister and jet lines until the water runs clear. is will remove any incidental
dust, dirt and debris that may have accumulated during shipping and installation.
Filling the Spa with Water
Check to be sure the GFCI is turned o. Never attempt any kind of
service or cleaning when power is applied to the spa. Each time you
remove the spa cabinet for any reason, check to be sure the GFCI is
turned o.
Never leave the spa unattended while the exterior panels or cover are o the
spa.
Remove the entire cabinet panel with the sticker that says “REMOVE THIS
PANEL FOR ELECTRICAL”. In most models you will remove the panel
underneath the spa’s top side control pad by removing all screws attaching the
cabinet panel to the spa frame. Check for obvious signs of damage including
loose wires or broken pipes. If you see damage inside the spa cabinet, call a
technical service associate at 877-722-4097 for assistance and repair
Hand tighten the plumbing unions and check to be sure the slice valves are
locked and in the “up” position. If the slice valves are not in the up position,
pull the “T” stem all the way up to open the slice valves. Lock the “T” stem and
attach the clip locks. e slice valves allow service to the spa without draining
water by stopping the ow of water. Never operate the spa when the slice valves
are closed. is will damage the pumps and seals. Damage that occurs because
the spa was powered on when the slice valves were closed is not covered by the
manufacturer’s warranty.
With the slice valves are locked in the up position and the unions hand
tightened, remove the oating weir, skimmer basket and lters from the ltration
canister of your new Home & Garden Spa.
Do not use water that has been ltered or soened. Do not use hot water when
you ll your spa.
