safety instructions SAFETY SIGN Each Marquis spa is shipped with a SAFETY SIGN in the spa’s Owner’s Package. Underwriters Laboratories (UL) recommends this sign be permanently installed where it is visible to the users of the spa. To obtain additional Safety Signs, contact your Marquis Spas dealer and request Part #710-0700. Replacement Owner’s Manuals are also available.
safety instructions PERSONAL SAFETY DO’s: • Be sure your spa is connected to the power supply correctly – only use a licensed electrical contractor. • Shut off power supply (unplug 120V models) before draining the spa or servicing the electrical components. • Test the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) monthly. • Always test the water temperature with an accurate thermometer before entering the spa to be sure that it’s a safe temperature. • Remember that wet surfaces can be very slippery.
installation instructions LOCATION For your portable spa to function properly and safely, it must be located on a hard, flat, level surface. Inground spas require special installation techniques and should be planned in conjunction with your spa dealer. Improper installation can result in structural damage to the spa and the voiding of your spa warranty.
installation instructions OUTDOOR AND PATIO INSTALLATION To install the spa outdoors, we recommend a reinforced concrete pad at least four inches thick. The reinforcing material should be attached to a #8 AWG bonding wire per national and local electrical code. If you place the spa on the ground, even temporarily, place concrete pavers under the entire bottom of the spa. The concrete pavers should be a least two inches thick and level across the entire surface.
installation instructions SHUT-OFF VALVES Your spa is equipped with shut-off valves (see EQUIPMENT DIAGRAM) that shut off the water flow to the equipment system for dealer service. At times, a new spa or one that has recently been serviced, may have the shut-off valves partially closed which can restrict the water flow and hinder jet performance. Be sure the valves are fully open.
installation instructions Safety guard of suction fitting must remain in place. SUCTION GUARDS The suction guard(s) in the footwell of your spa is an opening through which the jet pump(s) draws water. Suction fittings are equipped with a safety guard. Suction through the fittings can be strong. The safety guard(s) must remain in place and undamaged. A fitting with a damaged guard(s) can be dangerous, especially to small children or people with long hair.
installation instructions A pressure wire connector is located on the exterior of the control box. This pressure wire connector should be bonded with at least #8 AWG (8.42mm2, #6 in Canada) copper wire to any metal ladder, metal water pipe, common bonding grid (reinforced concrete slab, ground plate beneath the spa), or any other metal within five feet of the spa. 120 Volt: 120V units must only be connected to a properly grounded, grounding type 15 amp dedicated receptacle.
starting your spa START-UP PROCEDURE Your spa is equipped with solid-state Comfort Controls specific to your spa model. Please see SPA CONTROL OPERATION for your specific spa model. Marquis Spa Care products are recommended for proper chemical balance. Screw pump plug into face of pump. Close drain valve in equipment bay. Screw plug in hose connector.

Vent air by slightly opening pump unions. PAGE 16 MARQUIS SPAS 7. After a few seconds the spa should have water flowing from the jets. If the pump has not primed and the water is not flowing from the jets after two minutes TURN OFF POWER TO THE SPA and vent air from the pumps by slightly opening the pump unions. 8.
starting your spa Use TEMP pad to set water temperature. 9. The system requires approximately two minutes of water flow to determine the water temperature. After two minutes of water flow, the temperature is displayed as actual water temperature. After you have manually exited the priming mode (or allowed the spa to automatically exit) the LCD window momentarily displays 102°F (39°C) and then the display switches to - - °F. 10. The factory default setting for water temperature is 102°F (39°C).

troubleshooting PLEASE NOTE: The following corrective actions may be performed by the spa owner. If the trouble cannot be corrected in the steps below, please contact your Marquis spa dealer for service. (Improper servicing by an unauthorized service provider or spa owner could result in damage not covered by the warranty and could cause serious injury.) EQUIPMENT WILL NOT OPERATE • Check the control panel LCD window for diagnostic code. • 240V Spas: Check the circuit breaker on the main circuit panel.
troubleshooting LCD DIAGNOSTIC MESSAGES The advanced technology built into the spa allows it to perform a number of self-diagnostic system checks and it can display a variety of messages in the LCD window on the control panel. CL: This appears every 30 days as a reminder to clean the filter. (See INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS, Filter Cartridge(s).) CH: This appears every 90 days as a reminder to drain and refill the spa. (See SPA MAINTENANCE, Draining and Filling the Spa.
troubleshooting OHH or OHS: Over heat protection. If a malfunction occurs and the spa water reaches 112°F (44°C), the system completely shuts down. In such a condition, DO NOT ENTER THE WATER. Turn off all power to the spa and contact your dealer for service. Several conditions could lead to overheating, for example, low water level, shut-off valves closed while heater is on, dirty filter, and restriction in the plumbing lines.

Beginnings walks you through the initial elements of spa water care. After the initial start-up, your dealer can provide everything you need for ongoing care and familiarize you with specialty products you may need for the specific water conditions in your area.
marquis care and enjoyment guide Introduction To ensure the most enjoyment possible from your Marquis spa, we have compiled this easy to follow guide. Keep this guide by the spa for a day-to-day reference of Marquis spa care. water treatment Water Treatment This includes a step-by-step water treatment regimen and familiarization with the products that make Marquis spa water care a breeze. Important Chemical Safety Procedures….. 54 Understanding Water Balance……………... 55-56 Balancing the Spa Water …………………….
marquis care and enjoyment guide WATER TREATMENT Because Marquis cares about the life of the spa, your warranty, and your ultimate happiness, we have developed the Marquis Spa Care line of water treatment products with three things in mind: • Crystal Clear Water • Ease of Use • Peace of Mind The breeze™ Water Management Program was designed exclusively for Marquis Spa Care.
marquis care and enjoyment guide IMPORTANT CHEMICAL SAFETY PROCEDURES 1 Always keep chemicals out of reach of children. 2. Read product labels carefully prior to use. 3. When dissolving, always add chemicals to water, do not add water to chemicals. Some dry chemicals should be dissolved prior to adding them to the spa. Using a clean container, dip some water from the spa. Mix until dissolved, then add to circulating water. 4. CAUTION: Do not add chemicals together. Add them separately to the spa water. 5.
marquis care and enjoyment guide UNDERSTANDING WATER BALANCE Water balance is the interrelation of factors that determine the quality of the spa water. The effectiveness of chemicals and other additives are dependent on all these factors working together or “in balance”. The primary elements to water balance are sanitizing, monitoring pH and alkalinity levels, and oxidizing or shocking.
marquis care and enjoyment guide level (0.5 ppm). Bromine sanitizer is not recommended for use with Nature2. Important! The Nature2 cartridge should be replaced every four months. Only the use of ozone, Nature2, and chlorine or bromine are recommended. Use of other alternative sanitizer systems may void the warranty. The chlorine used in the Marquis spa should always be the Marquis Spa Care brand or a base of Sodium Dichloro (DiClor).
marquis care and enjoyment guide Balancing the Water When initially filling or refilling your spa follow these steps to achieve proper water balance. Important! Always circulate the water for at least 15 minutes after making any chemical additions, before retesting water, or adding any additional products. 1. Test the spa water using an AquaChek Test Strip (see label for easy dip and read directions). 2. Determine the pH and alkalinity level of the water using the color comparison chart on the bottle.
marquis care and enjoyment guide Calcium Hardness Increase It is critical to have some calcium in your water, however, the level of calcium should be between 200 – 400 ppm. High calcium levels can cause scale buildup on spa surfaces and equipment. Your spa is protected against high calcium by using Marquis Metal & Stain Control when initially filling your spa. Low calcium levels can cause spa water to become highly corrosive and damaging to the spa equipment and plumbing.
marquis care and enjoyment guide WATER CARE REGIMEN Marquis Spa Care products are classified by easy to follow usage guidelines. Labels indicate whether the product should be used daily, weekly, monthly, when filling, or as needed – if special water conditions arise. (Products classified as “Filling” are described on the previous page.) DAILY Sanitizer is the only product in this category. You should maintain the recommended sanitizer level at all times.
marquis care and enjoyment guide AS NEEDED PRODUCTS pH & Alkalinity Increase and pH & Alkalinity Decrease These two products work to raise or lower the pH and alkalinity levels in the spa and are only needed if the test strip indicates the levels are not in the ideal range. Crystal Clear Clarifier Microscopic particles can pass right through the spa filter and create cloudy water.
marquis care and enjoyment guide TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE C: Cause S: Solution CLOUDY WATER C: Inadequate filtration or dirty filter. S: Check that the filter is securely installed. Clean or replace filter. C: Water is not balanced. S: Treat water with Shock and test water with a Water Test Strip. Adjust sanitizer level, pH, and alkalinity levels as needed. C: Unfiltered particles or chemically saturated water. S: Use Crystal Clear Clarifier to combine particles; or drain, clean, and refill the spa.
marquis care and enjoyment guide FAILURE TO GET A SANITIZER READING ON TEST STRIP C: Sanitizer level is too low. S: Add chlorine or bromine until the sanitizer registers in the recommended range on the test strip. C: Algae present. S: Dirty water consumes the sanitizer as soon as it is added. Add more chlorine or bromine until the sanitizer registers and stays in the recommended range on the test strip. C: Test strip remains “white” even after sanitizer has been added. S: Sanitizer level is extremely high.
glossary TERMS AND PRODUCT DEFINITIONS Alkalinity – The concentration of alkaline materials in the water. Proper alkalinity is directly related to the stability of the pH. High alkalinity makes the pH impossible to adjust. Low alkalinity makes the pH unstable and difficult to maintain. Bacteria – The germs that contaminate your spa water. Balanced Water – The correct balance of alkalinity, pH and sanitizer. Bromamines – Created when bromine combines with bacteria. Bromine – A bromine based sanitizer.
glossary Chlorine Sanitizer – A fast dissolving, granular product used for sanitizing the spa water. Dispensed manually into the water as needed. Crystal Clear Clarifier – Restores clarity to dull water by combining unfilterable microscopic particles into larger particles that can be effectively filtered. Filter Revive – Keeps your filter operating efficiently by removing grease, grime, and other buildup that can impair the filtration process. Foam Eliminator – Instantly rids the spa of undesired foam.
glossary ppm – Parts per million. The measurement of chemical concentration in the water. Sanitizer – Any product or device that kills bacteria living in the water. Shock – Also known as shocking or oxidation. Shocking oxidizes used up chloramines and bromamines in the water that cause odor and irritation. Shock Treatment – Rids the water of chloramines or bromamines through oxidation (shocking). Spa Perfect – Naturally biodegrades body oils and grime that can cloud water, clog filter, and produce scum.
maintenance WEEKLY MAINTENANCE 1. Removing Debris Remove any debris and leaves from the Vortex skimmers and suction guard(s) on the inside of the spa. Blocked intakes can impede the flow of water through the jetting system. 2. Water Level Replenish the water level if necessary so that it is approximately two-thirds up the Vortex skimmer opening. (See STARTING YOUR SPA.) Paradise Spa Vac uses simple air and water pressure to suction matter from deep in the footwell.
maintenance MONTHLY MAINTENANCE 1. Filter Care We cannot stress enough the importance of a clean filter for proper water filtration. Dirty filters can restrict water flow, cause hazy water, and prevent your chemicals from working properly. Many water treatment products clear or clarify the water by clumping microscopic particles and minerals together so that these larger particles can be effectively trapped in the filter. A filter clogged with debris and calcium deposits does not trap particles properly.
maintenance EVERY THREE TO FOUR MONTHS Draining and Filling the Spa The average spa needs to be drained every three to four months. After months of continually adding chemicals to the water and introducing body oils and lotions, the water can be difficult to manage and chemicals are not as effective as usual. You may also notice excessive foaming. A maintenance reminder appears on the control panel as “CH” to remind you to change water. More frequent draining may be required depending on use.
maintenance 4. Clean the DuraShell® Interior Once the spa is drained, clean the DuraShell interior thoroughly – especially at the water line. We suggest the DuraMitt to clean without scratching. NOTE: Do not leave an empty spa uncovered. Direct sunlight on the spa surface can cause severe damage or blemishing and can result in the voiding of any surface warranties. 5. Refill the Spa Fill the spa with fresh water from a garden hose and balance the water as described in the Water Treatment section.
maintenance AS NEEDED MAINTENANCE Marquis Maintenance Kit includes: DuraWood Cleaner, Cover Care Cleaner, Fill Filter, Filter Revive, Swirl Away Plumbing Cleaner, interior DuraMitt, and a scrubby hand mitt for exterior cabinet and cover cleaning, all in a handy storage bucket. 1. Cover Care It is recommended that you use Marquis Cover Care Cleaner to keep the DuraCover cover clean and conditioned. Proper care of the cover increases the life and keeps it looking great in even the harshest conditions.
maintenance SUSPENDED USE OR WINTERIZING THE SPA Your spa was designed for year-round use and many people find the combination of hot water, therapy jets, and cool winter temperatures to be especially soothing. However, if you decide to discontinue the use of your spa for any extended period of time, we suggest you follow the steps below. NOTE: During long periods of inactivity, damage can occur to equipment from condensation within the equipment compartment.
