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.
To start your spa, you need a spa water test kit and
an underwater thermometer. It is important to follow
each of these steps when starting your spa. Once
you have completed the following steps, refer to the
instructions in your “beginnings™ Kit” for proper start-
up water maintenance.
NOTE: Your spa has been filled and test-run at the
factory. The first time your spa is filled with water,
some discoloration from residual test water may
appear. This will disappear when the spa is com-
pletely filled and the filtration system is functioning.
Test the water for the proper chemical balance and
adjust as necessary. Marquis Spa Care products are
recommended. (See WATER TREATMENT.)
PROPER CHEMICAL BALANCE IS IMPORTANT
for your safety and the longevity of your spa.
THERAPY PUMP(S)
Allow the spa to circulate on high-speed (see SPA
CONTROL OPERATION) for four to five minutes to
discharge air from the plumbing system. Do not
expect hot water immediately from the jets; the
heater will take several hours to heat the water.
Start-up procedure for Spirit, Mirage, and Wish:
1. Place spa on a hard, flat, level surface. Make
sure the power supply is off.
2. Make sure the suction guard(s) in the footwell
are in place and undamaged.
3. Open the equipment door. Screw the pump
plug (supplied in packet) into the face of the
pump. (SEE EQUIPMENT DIAGRAM.) Close the
drain valve in the equipment bay. Screw the plug
in the hose connector located on the external
DuraBase. Tighten all disconnects and open all
shut-off valves.
4. Install filter cartridge. (See INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS, Filter Cartridge.)
5. Fill the spa with water to two-thirds of the way
up the Vortex skimmer opening. The use of a
Fill Filter (part #5039) is recommended,
especially in areas with high mineral content in
the water.
6. Turn the power on and wait five seconds.
