20 amp service
the heater
is rated
at 1.5 KW which
will
heat
the water
approximately
one to three
degrees

function
only.
On 220 volt
50 amp service
the heater
is
rated
at 6 KW which
will
heat
the water
aproximatly
seven

how best
to install
your
new spa,
what
electrical
power

preparation
must
be a.ccomplished.
The
spa
must
be installed
in
such
a
manner
as to
provide
drainage

You need
to
pick

ELECTRICAL
REQUIREMENTS:
All
MT series
spas,
with
the
exception
of
the
MAXIMA
model,
are
equipped
with
an MT10
equipment
pac.
The MT10
pac
is
capable
of
operating
on
either
110 volt
20 amps
or
220
volts
50 amp service.The
difference
between
110
or
220 volt
service
is
the
amount
of
heat
the
heater
produces
and
at
which
selection
the
heater
will
operate.
On 110v
20amp
the
heater
is
rated
at
1.5
KW
which
produces
approximitly
5000
BTU'S
(1-3
degrees/hour)
of
heat
and
only
will
operate
on the
low
speed
(Filtration)
function.
When operated
on 220V
50 amp service,
the
heater
produces
approximitly
20000
BTU'S
(7-10
degrees/hour)
of heat
and will
operate
on all
functions
except
blower
only
function.
The MAXIMA
series
spa
is
equipped
with
a MT15
equipment
pac
which
can
only
be operated
on 220v

service.
2.2.1
MT10 110 VOLT 20 AMP SERVICE:
The MT10 110v pac comes with
a
heavy duty
(NO.12)
power
cord.
The power
cord
is designed
to
be the ONLY power
cord
connection
between
the equipment
and
the 20 amp 110v dedicated
outlet.
NEVER USE AN EXTENSION
CORD!
Extension
cords
create
resistance
and will
cause
the
equipment
to operate
on insufficient
levels
of voltage.
Low
voltage
causes
amperage
to increase
which
damages
the
equipment.THE
USE OF AN EXTENSION CORD WILL VOID WARRANTY!
After
you have selected
your
level
surface
and have placed
the spa in the position
you desire,be
sure
the power
cord
provided
with
the spa will
reach
your
20 amp grounded
receptacle.CONNECT
ONLY TO A GROUNDED, GROUNDING TYPE
RECEPTACLE THAT IS A MINIMUM OF FIVE FEET AWAY FROM ANY PART
OF THE SPA.Should
this
cord
fail
to reach
the receptacle,
it
will
be necessary
to have an electrician
run a dedicated
20
amp 110 volt
grounded
receptacle
to an area
that
the spa cord
will
reach.
Once the electrical
inspection
has been completed
and any deficiency
corrected
you are

JET OPERATION:
Every
MT series
spa
contains
at
least
three
directional
massage
jets.
These
jets
can
be adjusted
for
both
pressure
and direction.
The direction
of the
water
flow
may be adjusted
by rotating
the
"EYEBALL"
to
whatever
position
is
desired.
The
amount
of
water
pressure
can
be
adjusted
by rotating
the
entire
outer
rim
of
the
jet
itself.
Turning
the
jet
clockwise
decreases
the
pressure.
Turning
the
jet
counter-clockwise
will
increase
the
pressure.
Also
contained
in
the
spa
is
a rotational
massage
jet.
This
jet
can
be adjusted
for
pressure
in
the
same manner
as the
directional
massage
jet,
but
it
can
not
be adjusted
for
direction.
NOTE:
The
jets
cannot
close
completely.
You will
always
have
some
amount
of
pressure,
however
slight.
CAUTION:
CLOSING MORE THAN TWO JETS AT A TIME WILL RESTRICT
THE WATER FLOW AND MAY CAUSE YOUR HEATER AND PUMP TO
OVERHEAT.
3.4.1
AIR CONTROL OPERATION:
The air
control,
when it
is turned
"ON",
takes
in air
from the outside
and mixes
it
with
the jet
water
to give
more pressure.
When the spa is not in use,
the
air
controls
should
be in the
"OFF"
position.
3.4.2
AIR FINGER MASSAGE JETS:
These
jets
are located
in the seats
throughout
the spa.
They will
operate
when the BLOWER
function
is on.
The jets
generate
thousands
of tiny
air
bubbles
that
follow
your
body contour
and provide
you with
a
overall
soothing
and relaxing
massage.
4.1
GENERAL
4.1.1
WOODEN SKIRT:
Depending
on what
type
of exposure
the
spa
has
to
the
elements
will
determine
the
amount
of maintenance
that
will
be needed
to keep
the
wooden
skirt
looking
new.
It
is
recommended
that
a clear
wood
preservative
be used
at
least
once
a year
and
should
be increased
depending
on the
type
of
exposure.
The use
of
varnish,
shellac
or
urethane
type
finishes
are
NOT recommended.
These
types
of
finishes
have
a tendency
to
peel,
flake
and
yellow.
Please
ask
your
dealer
for
assistance
if
you
have
any
type
of
questions.
4.1.2
SPA COVER:
The spa
cover
should
be cleaned
with
mild
soap,
water
and soft
bristle
brush.
Rinse
thoroughly
to avoid
any
soap
residue
being
left
on its
surface.
A conditioner
like
saddle
soap
is
recommended
to
keep
the
outer
surface
soft,
pliable,
and
resistant
to UV rays.
Avoid
dragging
the
cover
when
removing
it
from
the
spa.
Never
allow
anyone
to
sit
on the
cover.

4.1.4
FILTER:
The spa
filter,
along
with
proper
chemical
usage;
is
critical
to maintaining
clean
and sanitary
water.
High
water
temperature
accelerates
the
release
of
body
oils
into
the
water.
As the
water
is being
filtered,
these
oils
along
with
any other
suspended
material
will
become
entrapped
within
the
filter
medium.
Prolonged
periods
without
cleaning
of
the
filter
will
restrict
the
flow
of
the
water.
The
amount
of
use,
the
user
load,
and the
water
temperature,
will
determine
the
frequency
of
recommended
cleanings.
Using
a garden
hose
will
remove
the
larger
debris
on the
filter
but
it
will
not
dissolve
the
body
oils.
Filter
cleaners
are
available
from
your
dealer.
The
filter
also
may be cleaned,
if
necessary,
with
a solution
of
one
cup
dishwasher
detergent
with
five
gallons
of
warm
water.
Let
the
filter
soak
overnight,
then
rinse
thoroughly
and
let
dry
before
using
again.
Never
run
the
spa
without
the
filter.
A spare
filter
is
a good
investment
for
uninterrupted
use
of
the
spa.
