USING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA
The hydrotherapy spa is designed to seat five adults.
The fifteen thera-jets can be regulated to provide a
relaxing massage to sooth away stress, and the
strength of the water massage can be adjusted by the
air control. The hydrotherapy spa holds 200 gallons of
water and offers an automatic, programmable heating
(41¡F to 104¡F) and filtration system.
The guidelines below explain how to properly use the
hydrotherapy spa. Follow these guidelines to maintain
the hydrotherapy spa for your long-term enjoyment.
STARTING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA
Start the hydrotherapy spa by pressing the pump but-
ton on the console; you should verify the water flow
from the pumping unit. Set the air control on the con-
sole to the lowest setting (see USING THE CON-
SOLE on page 14). The heat control unit will heat the
water as it is pumped. Cover the hydrotherapy spa
with the spa cover. The spa cover must be tight.
(See SECURING THE SPA COVER on this page.)
The water will heat at 6.0 to 8.0¡F an 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 5 to 7 hours for the water to reach the
set temperature.
The temperature and water flow can be set or
changed by the controls on the console (see USING
THE CONSOLE on page 14).
TESTING AND TREATING THE WATER
The hydrotherapy spa comes with a starter chemical
pack for maintaining the water in the spa. Disregard
the directions on the individual packages of ÒQUICK
pHix It DOWNÓ and ÒQUICK pHix It UP.Ó However, the
directions on the bottle of ÒNon-chlorine ShoxÓ and
ÒBromine BaseÓ are correct. Always keep the chemi-
cals away from children and pets.
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. Once you have verified that
the spa is functioning properly, and the water has cir-
culated for a while, remove the spa cover and add 1/3
of the ÒBromine BaseÓ bottle, and 1/3 of the ÒNon-
chlorine ShoxÓ bottle to the water. Allow the water to
circulate for five minutes. You should now test the pH
of the water. You will need a pH test kit (not included),
which can be obtained at a pool and spa supply store.
The pH reading should be between 7.2 and 7.8.
If the level is too low, add half of one of the ÒQUICK
pHix It UPÓ packets to the water. Let the water circu-
late through the spa for five minutes. Test the pH level
again. Repeat until the pH level is correct.
If the level is too high, add half of one of the ÒQUICK
pHix It DOWNÓ packets to the water. Let the water cir-
culate through the spa for five minutes. Test the pH
level again. Repeat until the pH level is correct.
See WATER CHEMISTRY on page 17 for information
concerning proper water maintenance.
SECURING THE SPA COVER
The spa cover can be secured by snapping the latches
on the spa cover into the buckles on the side panels.
The buckles can be
locked by inserting the
key and turning it
clockwise a quarter
turn. To unlock the
buckles, insert the key
and turn it counter-
clockwise a quarter
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.
