FILLING UP YOUR HOT TUB/ SPA
IMPORTANT: Before fi lling the spa, it is important to read and unders-
tand the water chemistry section of this manual. Do not proceed until the
water chemistry section is understood and the source water is tested.
Verify that the spa is in the desired fi nal location. Refer to the 'Choosing a
Location' section - once fi lled, the spa cannot be moved without draining.
Follow these fi lling instructions to avoid damage to the spa pumps:
1. Leave power to the spa off until spa is completely fi lled.
2. Never leave an unfi lled spa exposed to direct sunlight without the Spa
Cover
installed. Resulting damage such as bubbles and wrinkles in the spa shell
and fading of the jet faces is not covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
3. Never operate spa pumps without water because this could result in
permanent pump and/or heater damage which is not covered by the
manufacturer's
warranty.
4. Remove all warning labels from spa shell.
5. Apply Acrylic Surface Protection solution if desired to keep the spa
shell clean, especially around the water line. Follow package instructions.
6. Remove the fi lter lid, basket and fi lter cartridge.
7. Inspect all Jets (shipping may cause jets to become loose or detached).
Check to see that the Black Drain Valve (located to the left or right of
the front access panel) is closed and that all barrel unions are tight. The
slice valves should be open.(valve is open when the handle is pulled up,
closed when it is pushed in).
IMPORTANT: Follow the next steps closely to prevent damage to the Spa
Pumps.
8. Insert garden hose or other clean water source directly into fi lter
housing. Push hose pipe into fi lter housing until it stops. Fill up to bottom
of spa pillows. Secure hose placement and turn on water. The spa can be
fi lled with tepid water. If warm water is used, the spa will be available for
use in a shorter period of time.
starting your spa
Filling spa through the fi lter housing prevents air lock in the spa pumps,
which is an air pocket preventing the fl ow of water through the pump.
Permanent damage caused by running the pump with an air lock (or
without water) is not covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
9. Check for leaks! Although spas are fully checked at the factory, ship-
ping and delivery might cause a leak.
10. Before power is applied familiarise yourself with the spa control
operations.
11. Adding a Scale Control during the fi lling process to reduces limesca-
le. Follow package instructions.
12. Fill the spa until water is 1 inch (25mm) above the waterline on the
spa shell or 1 inch (25mm) above the mid point of the fi lter housing. Do
not overfi ll the spa. If needed, more water may be added after the power
is turned on and the plumbing is fi lled. See Powering Up Spa section.
13. Turn water off and remove hose.
14. Reinstall fi lter cartridge, basket and fi lter lid.
15. Add Start-up Chemicals after power is turned on. Refer to Powering
Up the Spa section.
DRAINING YOUR HOT TUB/ SPA USING THE DRAIN VALVE
1. Start by shutting off the electrical breaker connected to your spa
2. Open the drain valve located at the side of the spa and let the water
drain out.
This valve has a straightforward locking mechanism that stops the water
from fl owing out while you attach a garden hose to the cap. Here are the
steps to operate your valve:
3. With the valve extended, unscrew the cap from the middle of the valve.
4. Screw in the male end of the garden hose to the valve and run the
hose to your drain location. When ready, push the valve back in and twist
it to empty the water from the spa.
5. Once the water has stopped fl owing out of the drain valve, use the
wet/dry vacuum to suck out any remaining water from each jet head
(NOTE: If your spa is equipped with a blower, briefl y turn the power to
the spa back on and run the blower for 10 seconds to remove excess
water. Shut off the power when fi nished).
6. Twist valve and pull out to CLOSE.
