Filling and Powering Up Your Portable Spa
Once the spa has been placed on an approved 1.
surface and has been correctly wired by a licensed
electrician, inspect all plumbing connections in the
equipment area of your spa. Ensure that these
connections are secure and that they did not
loosen during shipment.
If equipped, open all gate valves in the equipment 2.
area. Before operating the spa, these valves must
be in the up or “open” position.
Once the water is at the correct level and air is
6.
bled, plug in the spa into a dedicated electrical
outlet.
Note: When the power is turned on to the spa,
the controls will perform a diagnostic check for
approximately ve minutes. When the diagnostic
is complete, the spa will automatically operate at
lter speed and continue heating until the spa water
temperature reaches the default temperature of
100˚F.
If no water is owing when the pump is running, 8.
there could be an air pocket at the suction side of
the pump. Shut off power to the spa and loosen
the pump union on the suction side of the pump
to bleed the air. When air is bled, turn power
back on.
Install the pre-soaked lters into the lter 9.
canister.
The spa is now ready for use.
Never ll your spa with soft water.
Soft water makes it impossible to maintain the proper water chemistry and may cause the
water to foam, which will ultimately harm the nish of the spa and void your warranty.
VERY IMPORTANT!
Never run the spa with the gate valves
closed or without water circulating for
long periods of time. Be careful not to
over-tighten the plumbing ttings.
Remove the cartridge from lter canister.3.
Place a garden hose in the lter canister and ll 4.
your spa with regular tap water about six
inches from the top.
VERY IMPORTANT!
Always ll the spa through the lter
canister! Failure to do so may cause
air to be trapped in the ltration
system and prevent the pumps from
operating properly.
Presoak the lters in spa water.5.
VERY IMPORTANT!
You must presoak the lters before
inserting them in the lter canister.
Dry lters can allow air into the
ltration system which can cause
pump failure.
