5 Each Solana® spa is shipped with a SAFETY SIGN in the owner’s package. The sign, which is required as a condition of Product Listing, should be permanently installed where it is visible to the users of the spa. To obtain additional SAFETY SIGNS, contact your Solana Spa Dealer and request Part #70798. Safety Sign • To reduce the risk of injury, before entering a spa the user should measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer.
Save These Instructions 6 • Leave the Solana® spa exposed to the sun without water or the cover in place. Exposure to direct sunlight can cause solar distress of the shell material. • Roll or slide the spa on its side. This will damage the siding. • Lift or drag the cover by using the tie-down straps; always lift or carry the cover by using the handles. • Attempt to open the electrical control box. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
7 WARNING: Damage to the spa’s equipment compartment components or internal plumbing as a result of rodent infestation is NOT covered under your warranty! • If your spa is going to be installed in a location known to be frequented by mice, rats or other nocturnal creatures, Watkins Manufacturing Corporation recommends covering the access opening to the spa’s equipment compartment with a heavy gauge screen material available at your local hardware store.
WARNING 8 • Check to make sure you have proper circulation throughout your spa water system. • Have spa users bathe before entering the spa water. • Clean the filter(s) at least once per month. WARNING: Please keep the area around your spa well ventilated when it is installed indoors or in a confined area. Inadequate ventilation around the spa could cause a build-up of a higher-thannormal concentration of spa chemicals and/or bacterial fragments.
Removal of the front access panel 9 Your TX spa uses three panels that are attached to the frame. These panels are referred to as side panels and a front panel. The front panel is located below the control panel. Behind the front panel, you’ll find all the electrical components.

24 • Do not fill the spa with hot water, as tripping of the high-limit thermostat may result. • Do not connect power to an empty spa. Power to the spa automatically activates critical components within the spa, such as Controls, the Heater and other systems. If power is supplied to these components prior to the spa being filled, the components will be damaged, and this may result in a non-warranty component failure. • Do not use your spa after filling until all of the steps listed below are completed.

To check the operation of the jet system and remove any remaining air from the heating system, push the JETS button twice to make the jet pump run on high speed for one minute. Once the jet system is fully operational (as indicated by strong, non-surging jets), priming of the spa is complete.
26 The Solana spa uses a two-speed jet pump to operate its hydromassage jets and to circulate the spa water through the heating system. The low-speed mode of the pump, which is activated automatically by the control thermostat, will cause the spa water to be drawn slowly in through the filter and into the pump. The pump, in turn, will push the water back into the spa through the heater and jets.

34 1. Disconnect the spa from the power supply by the appropriate method: Standard 115 volt, 20 amp model - Disconnect the power cord from the house receptacle. Converted 115 volt, 30 amp models - Trip the GFCI breaker located in the sub-panel. 2. On the SX, remove the screws from the equipment access door and remove the door completely. Locate the main drain valve for the spa and remove the drain cap.
Remove the filter cartridge and clean as required (see the Filter Maintenance section). Replace the filter cartridge. Close the drain valve and reinstall the drain cap. Reattach the equipment access door on the SX spa. Refill the spa through the filter compartment BEFORE restoring power. IMPORTANT: Always clean the filter cartridge each time the spa is drained for cleaning. Always sanitize and chemically balance the spa water after cleaning and refilling the spa. 35 Disconnect power to the spa.
36 Stains and dirt generally will not adhere to your spa’s surface. Most household chemicals are harmful to your spa’s shell. Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) can be used for minor surface cleaning. A soft rag or sponge should easily remove most dirt. Always thoroughly rinse off any spa shell cleaning agent with fresh water. Cleaning of the surface at the waterline to remove any body oil or “bathtub ring” can be done easily with baking soda and a soft sponge.
use: use: 37 1. Using a large sponge and/or a soft bristle brush, and using a very mild soap solution (1 teaspoon dishwashing liquid with 2 gallons or 8 liters of warm water) or baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), scrub the vinyl top in a circular motion. Do not let the vinyl dry with a soap film on it before it can be rinsed clean. To clean and condition the vinyl cover: Indoor spa use: The Solana spa comes with a vinyl cover. The vinyl spa cover is an attractive, durable foam insulation product.
use: reminders: 38 • DO lock cover straps to secure the cover when the spa is not in use. • DO NOT drag or lift the spa cover using either the flaps or the tie-down straps. • DO NOT walk, stand, sit, or place heavy objects on the cover. • DO NOT place any metal or heat transferring object on the cover or place any type of plastic tarp or drop cloth over the cover as this may result in a melted foam core, which would not be covered under the warranty.
39 1. Adjust the Total Alkalinity, Calcium Hardness and pH by following the instructions outlined in the Water Quality and Maintenance section. 2. Sanitize the water by following the shock procedures also listed in the Water Quality section. Make sure the air control is turned to the OFF position. 3. Lock your cover in place using the cover-locks. 4. Upon your return, sanitize the water by following the shock procedures, and balance the pH.
return: 40 Danger: Use only Propylene Glycol as your anti-freeze (available at most RV or marine supply stores). This is non-toxic. Never use an automobile anti-freeze (Ethylene Glycol) since it is toxic! Warning: Failure to follow these instructions correctly can lead to freeze damage not covered by warranty.
41 1. Remove plywood and plastic sheet. Open the spa cover by unfastening the cover tie downs. Opening Instructions: 1. Drain your spa following the Draining Your Spa section in the owner’s manual. 2. Remove the filter cartridge, clean and store in a dry place. IMPORTANT: These additional instructions must be utilized when draining and winterizing your spa in climates where the temperature falls below 32°F (0°C).
• Water Filtration • Chemical Balance/pH Control • Water Sanitation 42 The Three Fundamental Areas of Water Maintenance: General Information It’s important to have clean water. Water maintenance is one of the least understood, yet most important areas of spa ownership. Your dealer can guide you through the process of achieving and maintaining perfect water in your spa, given your local conditions.
43 When using chemicals, read the labels carefully and follow directions precisely. Though chemicals protect you and your spa when used correctly, they can be hazardous in concentrated form. Always observe the following guidelines: • Allow only a responsible person to handle spa chemicals. Keep them out of the reach of children. • Accurately measure the exact quantities specified, never more. Do not overdose your spa. • Handle all containers with care. Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated place.
water chemicals: 44 1. Fold back the cover. Carefully remove and set aside the filter compartment cover. 2. Push the JET button twice to turn the jet pump on in its high speed mode. 3. Carefully measure the recommended amount of chemical and slowly pour it into the filter compartment. Use care not to splash chemicals on your hands, in your eyes, on the spa shell surface or on the siding. 4. Replace the filter compartment cover.
45 A. The recommended Total Alkalinity (TA) for your spa water is 40-120 ppm. B. Total Alkalinity is a measure of the total levels of carbonates, bicarbonates, hydroxides, and other alkaline substances in the water. TA is referred to as the water’s “pH buffer”. In other words, it’s a measure of the ability of the water to resist changes in pH level. C. If the TA is too low, the pH level will fluctuate widely from high to low. Fluctuations in pH can cause corrosion or scaling of the spa components.

47 A. The ideal pH level for your spa water is 7.4-7.6. B. The pH level is the measure of acidity and alkalinity. Values above 7 are alkaline; those below 7 are acidic. Maintaining the proper pH level is extremely important for: • Optimizing the effectiveness of the sanitizer. • Maintaining water that is comfortable for the user. • Preventing equipment deterioration. C. If the spa water’s pH level is too low, the following may result: • The sanitizer will dissipate rapidly.
Add one (3) tablespoon of monopersulfate (MPS)* per 250 gallons TX - 1½ tablespoon SX -3¾ tablespoon Add one (1) tablespoon of monopersulfate (MPS)* per 250 gallons TX - ½ tablespoon SX -1¼ tablespoon 48 Add one and one half (1 ½) teaspoons of sodium dichlor per 250‑gallons (950 liters). TX - ¾ teaspoon SX - 1¾ teaspoon Drain and refill your spa. Replace the FreshWaterAg+® silver ion purifier. NOTE: Use the Clean Screen™ pre-filter when filling the spa to remove unwanted contaminants.
49 The Silver Ion system is comprised of the following products: • Clean Screen™ Pre-filter • Sodium Dichlor • Monopersulfate (MPS) • FreshWater Ag+ Silver Ion Purifier Clean Screen™ Pre-filter is used when filling a spa for the first time or at refill. It attaches to a garden hose and filters out rust, dirt, detergents, algae and chemicals. Sodium Dichlor (chlorine) is the only recommended sanitizer that will work in conjunction with all of the other products in this system.
50 When replacing the Silver Ion Purifer (every four months), it is highly recommended that the spa be drained and refilled at the same time. After refilling the spa with water, balance the Total Alkalinity (TA), Calcium Hardness (CH) and pH to the recommended levels. Shock the spa by adding sodium dichlor. 1. Fold back the cover. 2. Carefully remove and set aside the filter compartment cover. 3. Remove any floating items within the filter compartment.
51 Question: How are the silver ions actually added to the water? Answer: The silver ion cartridge contains ceramic beads that are infused with silver. By placing the cartridge in the filter standpipe, it is subjected to the flow of water created by the jet pump’s operation. The flowing water, through a chemical erosion process, carries with it the silver ions necessary to add a sanitizing residual to the spa water.
52 A. Sanitizing chemicals, such as chlorine, are oxidants that kill bacteria and viruses in the water. The Free Available Chlorine (FAC) is a measure of the amount of unused chlorine available to sanitize the spa. The recommended FAC for your spa water is 3.0-5.0 ppm. B. Watkins Manufacturing Corporation recommends the use of Hot Spring FreshWater® Concentrated Chlorinating Granuals (sodium dichlor) for sanitizing the water.
53 During the first month of ownership, measure the sanitizer residual daily in order to establish standards for User Load and Usage Time versus Sanitizer Needed. • The User Load of the spa is the number of times anyone enters the spa. • The Usage Time is simply the amount of time a user spends in the spa. • Sanitizer Needed is the amount of Free Available Chlorine (FAC) needed to accommodate the number of users and their combined usage time.
deposit inhibitors 54 The FreshWater® III high output ozone system is the only ozone purification system Watkins recommends in your Solana spa. The FreshWater III ozone system utilizes Corona Discharge (CD) technology to produce a higher concentration of ozone than is produced by competing ultraviolet light (UV) ozone systems. Ozone (optional) Spa water requires changing due to the buildup of soap in the water. Typically, soap will cause the spa water to foam when the jets are used.
WARNING 55 4. Place 16 ounces of white vinegar into a container such as a cup or bucket. Place the container on the equipment compartment floor. NOTE: White vinegar will not damage any of the spa components. Nitric acid will cause severe chemical burns if direct skin contact is made, so always wear protective gloves, glasses and clothing when working on the ozonator or injector lines.
56 • DON’T use swimming pool (muriatic) acid to lower pH. • DON’T splash pH increaser additives on the siding. • DON’T use Compressed Sanitizers. The use of bromine sticks or tablets in floaters, which may become entrapped in a lounge or cooling seat (or sink to the spa floor), have been shown to cause discoloration of or surface distress to a spa’s shell. • DON’T use a floater type sanitization system as a low or no maintenance solution to your spa maintenance program.
57 Question: Why can’t I use a floater to sanitize my spa water? Answer: Watkins does not recommend the use of a floater for three reasons. 1. The floater is unable to control the rate at which sanitizer is dissolved into the water. When a floater is first placed in a spa, the sanitizer level can be extremely high. High sanitizer levels can chemically burn or discolor the spa’s shell or the underside of the cover.
58 The following chemical terms are used in this Water Quality and Maintenance section. Understanding their meaning will help you to better understand the water maintenance process. Bromamines: Compounds formed when bromine combines with nitrogen from body oils, urine, perspiration, etc. Unlike chloramines, bromamines have no pungent odor and are effective sanitizers. Bromine: A halogen sanitizer (in the same chemical family as chlorine). Bromine is commonly used in stick, tablet, or granular form.
59 Chlorine: An efficient sanitizing chemical for spas. Watkins Manufacturing Corporation recommends the use of Sodium Dichlor-type granulated chlorine. This type is preferred because it is totally soluble and nearly pH neutral. Chlorine (or Bromine) Residual: The amount of chlorine or bromine remaining after chlorine or bromine demand has been satisfied. The residual is, therefore, the amount of sanitizer which is chemically available to kill bacteria, viruses and algae.
60 If your spa fails to operate at any time, the following items should be checked: 1. Check the power supply to the spa. 2. Check the GFCI (located at the end of the cord in standard models or in the electrical sub-panel in 30 or 50 amp converted models) and see if it has tripped. If a GFCI has tripped, reset it. If it will not reset, this may be an indication of a ground fault (short circuit) within the electrical components. Contact an Authorized Service Technician for a complete diagnosis. 3.
61 If the unit is plugged in and power is connected to the spa, then the fuse (for the ozone generator) should be checked. WARNING: Contact your Solana® Spa Dealer if your spa requires troubleshooting beyond the scope of this manual. Freshwater III high output ozone systems should only be serviced by a qualified technician. WARRANTY NOTE: Cleaning of the ozone injector is not covered under the warranty. Refer to the Ozone section of this manual for ozone injector cleaning instructions.
62 The limited warranty is void if the Solana Spa has been subjected to alteration, misuse or abuse, or if any repairs on the spa are attempted by anyone other than an authorized representative of Watkins Manufacturing Corporation. Alteration is defined as any component or plumbing change, electrical conversion, or the addition of any non-approved sanitation or water purification device or heating system which contributes to a component failure, unit failure or unsafe operating condition.
63 Watkins Manufacturing Corporation strives to provide the most trouble-free spas on the market. Should you experience any problem whatsoever, do not hesitate to contact your authorized Solana Spa Dealer. Here are some tips to help you to diagnose and rectify some more common sources of trouble yourself, if you choose to do so.
