Electrical Power Efciency
Your new spa comes equipped with an electric
heater. Following the directions listed below will
ensure the most efcient operation:
NOTE: This method is only for spa usage under two
hours a week.
Keep the spa’s operating temperature 5˚F •
below the desired usage temperature when not
in use. One or two hours before use, set the
temperature to the desired temperature.
If the spa usage exceeds two hours a week, the •
set temperature should remain at the desired
usage temperature.
The air venturis should be used sparingly. When •
open, water temperature drops quite rapidly
and can also dissipate chemicals.
Allowing the water temperature to lower more than
10˚F below the desired usage temperature and
reheating it prior to usage will cause the heater to
operate longer than it normally would maintaining
the desired temperature. Doing this will increase
your operating cost and makes your heater work
more than necessary.
Jets
Almost all of the jets in your spa are adjustable.
Rotating the face of an adjustable jet to the left
(counter-clockwise) will decrease the amount of
water ow through the jet. Rotating the face of an
adjustable jet to the right (clockwise) will increase
the amount of water ow through the jet. (See
example shown below.)
Neck jets adjust in the opposite directions (counter-
clockwise to increase, clockwise to decrease).
Press the LIGHT button on the topside control panel
to turn the spa light on. If your spa has perimeter
LED lights, they will also light up at the same time as
the spa light.
The perimeter lights operate in three modes:
Cycle: 1. The rst time you press the LIGHT button,
the lights will cycle through all the colors in this
order:
White
Cyan
Magenta
Blue
Yellow/green
Green
Red
To cycle through the different color choices, press
the button repeatedly. Each time you press the
button, you advance to the next color.
Flashing white: 2. When you have cycled through
all the colors, the next time you push the LIGHT
button, the LED lights will ash white.
Fading cycle: 3. The next time you push the
LIGHT button, the lights will gradually fade from
one color to the next in the order shown above.
Spas with exterior corner LED lighting work in the
same modes as described above but do not light up
when the interior perimeter lights are yellow/green,
green or red.
