The Air Control(s) located next to your spa-side control panel allows you to change the power of the jets by regulating the amount of air that is mixed with the water
coming out of the jets.
HYDRO JETS
Magna
TM
Jets – The larger jets in your spa allow you to re-direct the jet stream by changing the position of the nozzle.
You can also regulate the force of the massage by rotating the jet face clockwise to reduce the force or counter-clockwise to increase the force. Notice that turning
off the flow to some jets increases the flow to the other jets. To avoid damage to your spa’s plumbing and components, do not turn off more than half of these
jets at the same time.
MagnaSsage
TM
rotating nozzles are available from your dealer, to replace the directional adjustable nozzles in the Magna Jets.
Euro Directional Jets – The small euro jets deliver a direct, precision massage. You may also purchase Euro-Pulse
®
assemblies from your dealer that would replace
the Euro directional jets to provide a pulsating, rotary massage. This can be accomplished by simply twisting off the Euro jet face, adding the nozzle and nozzle
retainer, then reinstalling the Euro jet face.
DIVERTER VALVE
The diverter valve allows you to direct the flow of water from the pump to several combinations of jets. The functions of this diverter valve can best be learned by
experimentation as follows:
1. Set all air controls to the “ON” position by rotating counterclockwise.
2. Turn on the pump.
3. Turn the handle on the diverter valve and see which groups of jets are affected. (Note that you can adjust the diverter valve to any position between the two
possible extremes to achieve the jet pressure that feels best to you.)
IMPORTANT: Your spa is not designed to provide full power to all jets when the diverter valve is in the “mid” position
It’s important to have clean water. Water maintenance is one of the least understood, yet most important areas of spa ownership. Your dealer can guide you
through the process of achieving and maintaining perfect water in your spa, given your local conditions. Your program will depend on your water’s mineral content,
how often you use your spa, and how many people use it.
WATER FEATURE VALVE
Your spa is equipped with a cascading waterfall feature. It is activated by pressing JETS and opening the valve, located on the left back interior wall,
counterclockwise. The flow is regulated by turning the waterfall valve in the desired position.
ATLAS
®
NECKJET VALVE
Your spa is equipped with 4 directional neck jets located in the EcstaSeat
®
. The flow of the neck jets is regulated by turning the Atlas NeckJet valve on the inside
wall of the spa.

GENERAL INFORMATION
THE THREE FUNDAMENTAL AREAS OF WATER MAINTENANCE:
Water Filtration
Chemical Balance/pH Control
Water Sanitation
Water Sanitation is the responsibility of the spa owner, achieved through the regular and periodic (daily, if necessary) addition of an approved sanitizer. The sanitizer
will chemically control the bacteria and viruses present in the fill water or introduced during use of the spa. Bacteria and viruses can grow quickly in under sanitized
spa water.
The water’s chemical balance and pH control are also the responsibility of the spa owner. You’ll have to add chemicals to maintain proper levels of Total Alkalinity
(TA), Calcium Hardness (CH) and pH. Proper water balance and pH control will minimize scale buildup, extend the life of the spa, and allow the sanitizer to work at
an optimum level.
