The hydrotherapy spa is designed to seat seven
adults. The spa holds 375 gallons of water and offers
a heating system (80°F to 104°F), a filtration system,
and adjustable hydrotherapy jets. Follow the guide-
lines 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 grounded circuit with a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) capable of carrying 40 or more
amps. No other appliance should be on the same cir-
cuit. Connection of the spa to the 240V power
source must be performed by a qualified, licensed
electrician and must comply with all local, state,
and federal electrical codes. Please refer to the
instructions on the inside of the electronics package
for information about connecting the spa to a 240V
power source.
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 hydrotherapy spa comes with a starter chemical
pack for maintaining the water in the spa. Disregard
the directions on the individual packages of “QUICK
pHix It DOWN” and “QUICK pHix It UP.” However, the
directions on the bottle of “Non-chlorine Shox” and
“Bromine Base” 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 have allowed the
water to circulate for a while, you should remove the
spa cover and add 1/3 of the “Bromine Base” bottle,
and 1/3 of the “Non-chlorine Shox” bottle to the water
in the spa. Allow the water to circulate for five min-
utes. You should now test the pH level of the water by
using the included test strips. Refer to the test strip
packaging for instructions on using the test strips. The
pH reading should be between 7.2 and 7.8.
If the level is too low, add half of one of the “QUICK
pHix It UP” 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 “QUICK
pHix It DOWN” 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 14 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 jet button on the console (see USING THE CON-
TROLS 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 normal
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 clock-
wise 1/4 turn. To unlock the
buckles, 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.
