GLOSSARY OF SWIM SPA TERMINOLOGY 1. THERAPY JETS Your new swim spa features a variety of jet styles. All jets, regardless of style return the water to the swim spa. Air is mixed with the water by using the air controls creating a gentle to most vigorous massage. Water flow is adjusted by simply turning the outer face of the jet. 2. JET DIVERTER VALVE Located on the topside of the swim spa, this valve physically diverts the flow of water from one jet zone of the swim spa to another jet zone.
GLOSSARY OF SWIM SPA TERMINOLOGY 8. ACCESS PANELS These are located on all four sides of the swim spa. All of the panels are removable should service be required. Panel “C” Panel “D” Panel “E” Panel “A” Panel “B” Panel “H” Panel “G” Panel “F” NOTE: Note: The above drawing illustrates the panel placement on the swim spa. WARNING: Do Not Remove Access Panels Without Turning Off Power To The Swim Spa. 9.
GLOSSARY OF SWIM SPA TERMINOLOGY 14. SLICE VALVES These valves are used by service personnel to shut off water to the heater, main pump system and secondary pump system so that the water does not need to be drained should the swim spa require service. *NOTE: Slice valves must be completely open during normal operation. 15. MAIN PUMP The main pump produces water flow through the jets and has a high and low speed.
SITE PREPARATION / GENERAL GUIDELINES Swim spa installation is simple when properly planned. It is important that you read the following information carefully and consult with your Master Spas dealer. 1. A ccess - The actual dimensions of your new swim spa will determine the amount of space that is needed in moving the swim spa from curbside to its final installation area. Be sure to measure side yard dimensions, gates or doors and vertical obstructions such as roof overhangs and overhead cables.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 1. Put swim spa in final position that allows for access to equipment and swim spa components. 2. Remove front skirt panel "A" to access the electrical connections. 3. Be sure all pump and heater unions are secure. Each pump has 2 unions and the heater has 2 unions. A newly delivered swim spa may have loose unions caused in transporting the swim spa. Check that all slice valves are open, in the up position.
WATER CHEMISTRY TERMS YOU SHOULD KNOW Before jumping into the Swim Spa Water Maintenance, here are some terms to help you. 1. Parts per million, or ppm: This is a form of measurement used in most pool or swim spa chemical readings. Best described as any one million like items of equal size and make up, next to one unlike item, but of equal size. This would be one part per million. 2. Total Alkalinity: This is a measurement of the ability of the water to resist changes in pH.
WATER CHEMISTRY TERMS YOU SHOULD KNOW 8. Total dissolved solids (TDS): Materials that have been dissolved by the water. i.e. Like what happens when you put sugar in coffee or tea. 9. Useful life of water (in days): Water should be drained at least once every 180 days. Useful life may vary by usage and bather load. 10. Defoamer: Foaming may be caused by body oils, cosmetics, lotions, surface cleaners, high pH or algeacides as well as other organic materials.
THE ADVANTAGES OF ECO PUR™ Filtration Eco Pur™ water filter system is designed to reduce the use of chemicals in your spa. You will still be required, periodically, based on usage to add a small amount of chlorine to oxidize organic compounds in the water. The Eco Pur™ filter system will not eliminate the need to maintain proper water chemistry but can make the maintenance a more natural experience.
WATER QUALITY MAINTENANCE START-UP For eco Pur™ Water Filter system Step 1: Your spa should be filled using a Pre-filter, which can be obtained from your local dealer. This Pre-filter will help remove many of the minerals existing in the water, which will make adjusting the water balance easier after a new fill. Never use more then 50% softened water when filling the spa. Step 2: During the initial filling of the spa, add a sequestering agent to combat suspended minerals in the water.
WATER QUALITY MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE - ECO PUR™ BeFOre eaCH use Check spa water with a test strip for proper sanitation levels and adjust accordingly to the proper levels. Free chlorine level should be 1-3 ppm. ONCe a WeeK Add 1 ounce of non-chlorine shock/oxidizer* or chlorine* to spa to help maintain the water quality. 3 tIMes a WeeK Test water using chemical test strips. Adjust sanitizer, pH and Alkalinity accordingly. The total alkalinity should be between 80 - 150 ppm and the PH should be between 7.
WATER QUALITY MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE ECO PUR™ (continued) as NeeDeD If water looks hazy, check PH and Total Alkilinity, and treat with 1 ounce of chlorine*. Always refer to the chemical manufactures dosage recommendations listed on the container. These are general recommendations for water quality maintenance that may vary by usage and or bather load. Depending on bather load and frequency of use, drain and refill times may vary as well as the frequency of cleaning your filters.
SWIM SPA WATER MAINTENANCE TROUBLE-SHOOTING GUIDe Problem Possible Causes How To Fix It Chlorine / Bromine Odor • E xcessive Chlorine or bromine levels • S hock water with non-chlorine shock treatment • Low pH • Adjust pH if necessary • Low levels of sanitizer • S hock water with non-chlorine shock treatment or adjust sanitizer levels • pH out of range • Adjust pH level if necessary • Bacteria or algae growth • Adjust sanitizer if necessary •D irty filters or inadequate filtration •C l
WHY CHEMICALS ARE IMPORTANT IN A SWIM SPA 1. Evaporation: As water evaporates, only pure water evaporates, leaving the salts, minerals, metals, and any unused chemicals behind. Adding water adds more salts, minerals, and metals. In time, the water can become saturated with these dissolved solids and can cause stains or scale to form on the walls of the swim spa or a scale build up inside the equipment. Colored or cloudy water, and possible corrosion of plumbing and fittings may also occur. 2.
MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS Your swim spa requires periodic draining and cleaning to ensure a safe, healthy environment. It is recommended that you clean your swim spa at least every 180 days. Heavy bather load will require cleaning it more often. DRAIN YOUR SWIM SPA • See page 12. CLEAN YOUR SWIM SPA SURFACE •W ith a soft cloth, wipe down the swim spa surface with a non-abrasive swim spa surface cleaner that may be purchased through your local dealer. Do not use paper towels.
MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS CARE OF LAMINAR FLOW JETS: • In order to keep your Laminar Flow Jets operating properly, follow these instructions in sequence: - Turn off Laminar Flow Jets - Remove outer ring by turning face counter clockwise - Remove internal Jet insert with a pair of needle nose pliers - Clean plastic filter at the back of the Jet insert so all holes are free of debris - Reinstall Jet insert and outer ring NOTE: To prevent premature failure of your spa cover, always turn Laminar Flow Jets d
WINTERIZING YOUR SWIM SPA Your swim spa is designed to be used year round in any type of climate. *H owever, if you decide you don’t want to use your swim spa in the winter, you must drain it and follow the winterizing steps listed below: 1. Due to the physical size of the swim spa, we recommend draining your swim spa with a submersable sump pump. Draining your swim spa with a conventional swim spa drain is not a reasonable option. 2. Use a shop vac to get all standing water out of your unit. 3.

SWIM SPA TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE NOTHING ON THE SWIM SPA OPERATES1. C heck the control panel display for any messages. If there is a message, refer to the diagnostic section on that model swim spa. There you will find the meaning of the message and what action is to be taken. 2. I f there is no message on the control panel, check and reset the GFCI breaker. GFCI breaker will be located external to the swim spa.
SWIM SPA TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE SWIM SPA NOT HEATING * I f the swim spas heater has failed, the majority of the time it will trip the GFCI breaker. If the swim spa is not heating and has not tripped the breaker, please follow these steps: 1. C heck the control panel for diagnostic messages. Refer to your swim spa models diagnostic message area in previous sections. Follow steps to alleviate message. 2. Check water set temperature at control panel. 3. Check for dirty filters. Clean if necessary. 4.
REGULAR MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES Note: These are maintenance procedures are the responsibility of the swim spa owner to perform. These procedures are not covered by the swim spa warranty. CLEANING JETS The majority of jets in your swim spa can individually be turned on/off. If any of these jets become hard to turn, it will be necessary to remove the jet to clean it as grit/sand and mineral deposit may be present.
REGULAR MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES CARE OF YOUR SWIM SPA COVER Always cover your swim spa when not in use. This will greatly reduce energy consumption and will cause swim spa water to heat more rapidly. Water loss and chemical usage will also be reduced. • Be sure to lock down all straps on cover after each use to prevent wind damage. •D o not allow swim spa to sit uncovered in direct sunlight. This may cause damage to exposed surfaces of swim spa and possible discoloration of swim spa fittings.
REGULAR MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES Stainless Steel Master Spas uses stainless steel in a number of our spas. Its lasting beauty and resistance to corrosion make it an excellent material for handrails and jets faces. With the proper care it will keep its luster for many years. All stainless steel can corrode given the right circumstances so we have provided a guide to help you keep the stainless components in your spa looking nice.
