The hydrotherapy spa is designed to seat seven per-
sons. The spa holds approximately 375 gallons of
water and offers a heating system (80°F to 104°F), a
filtration system, and adjustable hydrotherapy jets.
Follow the guidelines below to use and maintain the
spa for your long-term enjoyment.
WIRING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA
The hydrotherapy spa is designed to operate with a
240 volt AC power source. It must be wired directly
into a 40 amp, Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI)-protected circuit breaker. No other appliance
should be on the same circuit. Connection of the
spa to the 240 volt power source must be per-
formed by a qualified, licensed electrician and
must comply with all local, state, and federal elec-
trical codes. Please have the electrician refer to the
instructions on the inside of the electronics package
for information about converting the spa to 240 volt
operation.
Once the spa is filled with water, the power can be
turned on. Note: The first time the power is turned on,
the spa will start automatically.
TESTING AND TREATING THE WATER
The first time you use the spa, you should test and
treat the water. You must also treat the water each
time you refill the spa. A test strip and a chemical
pack are available at your local pool and spa store.
Follow the directions carefully on the chemical pack to
test and treat the water. Always keep the chemicals
away from children and pets.
See WATER CHEMISTRY on page 13 for information
concerning proper water maintenance.
STARTING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA
You should always test the GFCI before using the
hydrotherapy spa. First, turn on the spa by pressing
the pump button 1 on the console (see USING THE
CONTROLS on page 12). Once the spa is running,
press the GFCI “test” button. The spa should shut off.
Press the “reset” button. The spa should resume nor-
mal operation. If the spa continues to run after the
“test” button is pressed, the GFCI is damaged. Do not
use the spa until the GFCI has been repaired or
replaced by a qualified electrician.
Once you have tested the GFCI, you should verify the
water flow from the pumping unit. Set the air control
on the console to the lowest setting (see USING THE
CONTROLS on page 12). The pumping unit will heat
the water as it pumps. Cover the hydrotherapy spa
with the spa cover. The spa cover must be tight
(see SECURING THE SPA COVER ON THE SPA on
this page). The water will heat at about 6°F per hour
with the cover on. If you are using the spa indoors,
and the room temperature is maintained at 70°F, it will
take approximately 6 to 8 hours for the water to reach
the set temperature.
The temperature and the water flow can be set or
changed with the controls on the console (see USING
THE CONTROLS on page 12).
SECURING THE SPA COVER ON THE SPA
To secure the spa cover, snap the latches on the spa
cover into the buckles on the premium cedar panels.
To lock the buckles, insert
the key and turn it clockwise
1/4 turn. To unlock the buck-
les, insert the key and turn it
counterclockwise 1/4 turn.
Always keep the buckles
locked when the spa is
not in use. Keep the keys
in a safe place, out of the
reach of children.
