Disclaimer
This spa is insulated with high-density urethane foam for structural support and energy efficiency.
When empty of water and left in the direct sunlight without the spa cover in place, the spa is
vulnerable to ultra violet light or solar damage. Temperatures generated by sunlight can become
concentrated in the shell surface causing the shell material to delaminate from the urethane foam
packing. This occurrence is not covered under warranty
. The spa cover must be kept on the spa while
empty of water.
Glossary of Terms
Term Definition
Dry Firing
Turning the heater element on when there is no water in the heater.
Equipment
Access Panel
Provides access to your spa’s equipment for a qualified service technician.
Filter Cartridge
Your spa’s filters have been designed so that you may repeatedly clean and maintain the
filter element as needed. The element is constructed of woven polyester rather than
paper to ensure long life and proper filtration.
Floating
Skimmer
Removes floating debris from the water surface. This inlet provides a water return path
to your spa’s equipment and flow through the filter element.
GFCI-Ground
Fault Circuit
Interrupter
A type of Circuit Breaker that automatically disconnects power to the spa when there is
an electrical power leakage to ground.
Gravity Drain
Valve
Used to drain your spa
Halogens
Free chlorine, bromine or iodine ions that are very strong oxidizers used to sanitize
water.
Jets
Return the water into the spa from the equipment. The jets produce a turbulent flow of
water mixed with air to provide a concentrated body massage
Light
Illuminates the spa
Lower Control
System
The electronic control system that governs all of the electrically operated components
of your spa utilizes an advanced microprocessor and solid-state electronic devices to
activate all user and maintenance options. A backlit, highly reliable liquid crystal display
gives you a complete update of the spa status at any time of the day or night.
Temperature setting, as well as control of the light, jets, filtration, and time of day
display, are all instantly available from, and controllable at, the topside control panel.
Pressure Switch
Safety device(s) that sends a signal to the electronic control system that there is
adequate water flow to turn the heater on.
Pump
Produces water flow through the heater, filter, sanitation system and the main jets in the
spa. The pump will operate automatically during filtration and heat cycles. This pump can
also be operated manually by depressing the “jets” pad on the topside control panel
which will allow you to choose between two speeds
Low speed for efficient water circulation during heating and filtration modes, and for
gentle jet resistance or massage action.
• High speed for maximum jet action.
Selector Valve
(Cove model
only)
Located on the top edge of the spa, it diverts jet power from one area of the spa to
another.
Serial Number
Please use the serial number (located on right corner of the pedestal) in communication
with your dealer.
Temperature
Sensor
Measures the temperature of the water inside the spa. This temperature sensor is used
to control the spa heater and the temperature is displayed on the spa side control panel.
