Based on customer input, we have determined the
key areas you need to be aware of to get maximum
enjoyment from your spa. Please review this sum-
mary carefully. Refer to the userÕs manual for fur-
ther information if needed.
Location of the Spa
¥ The diameter of the tub is 69Ó
¥ Make sure there is room for the spa in your chosen
location.
¥ Make sure it is easy to get in and out of the spa
¥ Make sure you can access the mechanical
components
¥ Make sure the room can handle the extra humidity
released by the spa
See the section ÒChoosing a Location for the
Hydrotherapy SpaÓ in the userÕs manual for further
important information.
Plugging in the Spa
¥ Make sure your spa is plugged in to a dedicated
circuit capable of carrying at least 15amps
¥ Make sure no other electrical appliances or lights
are plugged in to the same circuit
¥ It may be necessary to install a new circuit with its
own breaker
¥ Do NOT use an extension cord of any kind with the
spa.
See the section ÒUsing the Hydrotherapy SpaÓ in the
userÕs manual for further important information.
Cleaning and Maintenance
To ensure your long-term enjoyment, the spa
requires a small amount of attention. The most
important factors are:
¥ Clean the filter on a weekly basis
¥ Replace the filter monthly or when necessary
¥ Keep the spa shell clean
¥ Maintain proper water chemistry
See the section ÒMaintenanceÓ in the userÕs manual
for further important information.
Heating the Spa
The heating system in your spa is designed to be
economical for long-term use. Combined with the
fact that water absorbs heat very slowly, the effect is
that it will take 1 to 3 days (depending on the room
temperature) to heat the water in the spa. The good
news is that once the water is heated, it will maintain
its temperature for a relatively low cost. You can
reduce the waiting period by filling the spa with hot
water, but be aware that the spa holds more water
than your water heater. Make sure the spa cover is
on, and that it is tight, while the water is heating. The
chart below shows approximate heating times for dif-
ferent air temperatures with a water temperature of
60û to 64û F.
Water Chemistry
It is important to recognize that maintaining the cor-
rect water chemistry is a fairly complex process,
because it depends on local water conditions and
user load. Since water conditions vary greatly, it is
necessary to consult your local pool and spa supply
store to determine your personal needs.
See the section ÒMaintenanceÓ in the userÕs manual
for further important information.
