III. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

START-UP AND REFILL PROCEDURES

Your Solana

spa has been thoroughly tested during the manufacturing process to ensure reliability and long-term customer

satisfaction. A small amount of water may have remained in the plumbing after testing and, as a result, may have spotted the spa shell

or the spa siding prior to delivery. Before filling the spa, wipe the spa shell clean with a soft rag.

The following instructions must be read and followed exactly to ensure a successful start-up or refill.

1. Close the drain, attach the drain cap and fill the spa with water through the filter compartment. The water level of the TX Solana spa

should be maintained at seven (7) inches (18 cm) below the bar top (top of the spa), or even with the top of the filter. The water level

of the SX spa should be maintained at six (6) inches (15 cm) below the bar top.

RECOMMENDED: Use the Clean Screen

™

pre-filter to remove unwanted contaminants from the tap water.

IMPORTANT: Watkins Manufacturing Corporation does not recommend that the spa be filled with “softened” water, as this may

damage the spa’s equipment.

2. AFTER the spa has been filled with water and the equipment compartment door is secured, power must be applied to the spa.
