START UP STEPS

Make sure you have read and understood all of the previous instructions in this manual. Make

sure the spa has been installed correctly, including electrical wiring connections as specified in

the wiring diagram.

10.

Prior to filling your spa with water and turning on the power, perform the following steps:

Install the filter(s).

Ensure that none of the water or air lines have slipped under the footwell area of the spa shell during

shipment. Move them if they have.

Fill the spa with water to a level of 2” above the highest jet. The GFCI circuit breaker must be tested

before use of the spa. Press the “Test” button on the breaker, the circuit breaker should go to the tripped

position. Reset the GFCI and ensure it stays set.

Press the

Jet 1

button on your topside control. Within 15-30 seconds you should have water flowing from

the hydrotherapy jets in the side of your spa. The

Jet 1

LED on the topside control should be lit. If after 30

seconds you do not have water flowing freely, turn off the pump (press

Jet 1

button once more), and open

the drain valve to clear the system of air.

Try engaging the pump again and repeat the procedure. If after 3-4 tries you cannot get water to flow,

contact a service technician for instructions on how to purge the air from your plumbing lines.

To turn the air controls on, twist the air controls located on the top of the spa to the “Open” position and

verify that air starts coming out of the jets. To turn the air controls off, simply twist the air control to the

“Closed” position and verify that air stops coming from the jets. This may take a few minutes.

Press the

Jet 1

button on your topside control and verify that:

8.1. Rapid water movement stops and returns to the slower water movement (the low speed pump is

running).

8.2. The

Jet 1

LED on the topside control flashing.

Once the water is flowing freely from the hydrotherapy jets, you may adjust your temperature setting.

From the factory, the setting may be too low to come on by itself. It is recommended that you initially

operate the spa between 95ºF and 100ºF and increase the temperature setting over a few days as you

become accustomed to its effect. When the desired water temperature is reached, the heater will auto-

matically maintain that temperature. When either of the buttons is pressed and held, the “HEAT”

LED will blink and the set temperature will increase or decrease, depending on which button is pressed.

Release the button and after a short delay the window LED readout will automatically display the cur-

rent spa water temperature.

Install the insulated cover on the spa and allow the spa to heat for 24 hours to reach a stable tempera-

ture. After the spa runs for 24 hours, test the water temperature and adjust it to suit your needs.
