CIRCULATION PUMP ( CIRC P UMP ) – This produces water flow through the heater in the spa
and provides the water flow necessary to activate the ozone generator. This fractional HP pump
runs silently for 24 hours of efficient filtration and heating. This is an optional feature on East
Hampton, Portsmouth, Exeter, and Cape Cod models.
PUMP - The water pump(s) in your system produce flow through your hydro-therapy jets, heater
and filtration system. In most systems pumps will consist of two speeds - high or low.
Generally, low speed is used for maintaining a constant temperature or for filtering the water,
while high speed operates your hydro-therapy jet functions.
HEATER – Down East Spas are equipped with a 5.5 KW 220 volt electric heater,
thermostatically controlled and equipped with a high limit temperature safety shut-off switch.
Should your spa water temperature exceed 112° F, the high limit switch will trip and will need to
be re-set. Should your high limit switch repeatedly trip, please contact your authorized service
center.
CONTROL PANEL/REMOTE - Your new Down East Spa is equipped with a solid-state spa-
side control system. You control all functions from safely inside the spa. The digital display will
give you a constant temperature read-out and will notify you in case of certain malfunctions.
Several user programmable functions are also available.
JETS - Your new Down East Spa features a variety of jet styles. All jets, regardless of style,
return the water to the spa. Air is mixed with the water creating a gentle to vigorous massage,
adjusted by simply turning the outer face of the jet. Your Down East Spa will have a
combination of rotating and directionally adjustable jets.
AIR CONTROL DIALS - You can decrease or increase the velocity of your jets by opening or
closing the air control valves. Typically, one dial controls the air to water ratio and mix to a
group of jets. When not in use the air controls should be kept in the closed position, as air
bubbles tend to cool the water.
FILTRATION - Your cartridge filter elements are located under the floating weir and are
designed to remove any debris and oils from your spa water.
SPA LIGHT - Your spa light is designed for safety and is located in the footwell of your spa.
The on/off switch is located on the topside of the control panel.
EQUIPMENT COMPARTMENT - Located behind the door below the spa-side control panel.
This area houses the major components responsible for spa operation. Those components
include the pumps, heater, control panel box and ozonator (if applicable). Before operating spa,
all valves should be fully open and hose bib should be closed.
