14.WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury:

• Water temperatures between 100°F (38°C) and 104°F (40°C) are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended for extended use (exceeding 10 minutes) and for young children.

• Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during the early months of pregnancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit spa water temperatures to

100°F (38°C).

• Before entering a spa, the user should measure the water temperature with an accurate, waterproof, fever thermometer since the tolerance of temperature-regulating devices may vary as much as +/- 5°F (3°C).

• The use of drugs, alcohol, or medication before or during spa use may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.

• Persons suffering from obesity or with a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes should consult a physician before using the spa.

4

S A F E T Y I N S T R U C T I O N S

• Persons using medications should consult a physician before using a spa since some medication may induce drowsiness while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.

15.DANGER: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS. Do not remove the suction fittings.

16.DANGER: RISK OF INJURY: Never operate a spa if the suction guard(s) is broken or missing. Never replace a suction guard with one rated less than the flow rate marked on the original suction guard. The suction guard(s) in the spa are sized to match the specific water flow created by the pump. Should the need arise to replace the suction guard(s) or the pump, be sure that the flow rates are compatible.

17. DANGER: Children are especially sensitive to hot water. At no time should children have unsupervised access to the spa. Children must not be allowed to climb onto the spa cover. All Marquis spas are equipped with a locking cover that meets the ASTM F1346-91 Standard for Safety

Covers. Always lock the child resistant locks after using the spa for your children’s safety.

S A F E T Y I N S T R U C T I O N S

Other booklets about spa safety are: “Children Aren’t Waterproof,” “Pool and Spa Emergency Procedures For Infants and Children,” “Layers of

Protection” and “The Sensible Way to Enjoy Your Spa” published by APSP.

WARNING: The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in hot tubs and spas.

Persons taking medications which induce drowsiness such as tranquilizers, antihistamines, or anticoagulants should not use the spa. Pregnant women and persons with a medical history of heart disease, diabetes, or high blood pressure should consult a physician before using the spa.

PERSONAL SAFETY DOs:

• Be sure your spa is connected to the power supply correctly – only use a licensed electrical contractor.

• Shut off power supply (unplug 120V models) before draining the spa or servicing the electrical components.

• Test the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) monthly.

• Always test the water temperature with an accurate thermometer before entering the spa to be sure that it’s a safe temperature.

• Do not use the spa if water temperature is outside of set temperature.

Remember that wet surfaces can be very slippery. Take care when entering and exiting the spa.

• Lock the DuraCover when the spa is not in use, whether it is empty or full of water.

• Keep the water clean and sanitized with correct chemical care.

• Turn on the jets when adding ANY chemicals to the spa water.

• Clean the filter cartridge(s) monthly to remove debris and mineral buildup which affects the performance of the hydrotherapy jets, limits the flow, or trips the high limit thermostat which will turn off the entire spa.

PERSONAL SAFETY DO NOTs:

• Don’t use the spa with the equipment compartment door removed.

• Don’t use the spa for more than 10 minutes of time at water temperatures in excess of 102°F (39°C).

• Don’t allow the jet pump(s) to operate for an extended period of time with the cover in place. Extended pump operation causes a slow heat buildup due to water friction. The spa equipment controls are equipped with a built-in safety timer that automatically shuts off the jet pump(s) after 15 minutes of continuous operation should it have been left on inadvertently.

• Don’t operate the spa at any time with the filter cartridges removed.

• Don’t lift or drag the cover by using the tie-down straps; always lift and carry by using the external handles.

• Don’t store chemicals in the spa’s equipment compartment.

• Don’t hesitate to call your authorized dealer with any questions or maintenance concerns.

I N S T A L L A T I O N I N S T R U C T I O N S

LOCATION

For your portable spa to function properly and safely, it must be located on a hard, flat, level surface. Inground spas require special installation techniques and should be planned in conjunction with your authorized Marquis Spas ® dealer. Improper installation can result in structural damage to the spa and the voiding of your spa warranty. Items to discuss with your dealer include:

Local construction codes, electrical service requirements, serviceability of equipment, present underground obstructions such as gas, water, and telephone lines, safety measures such as fences and locks, and visibility of the spa installation from the home, street, and neighbors.

Do not shim your spa. If your pad is not level you must pour a top cap: contact a professional.

• Allow for sufficient water drainage around the spa to help preserve the equipment and support structure. This includes indoor installations.

• A filled spa can weigh up to 4,000 pounds and the location should support the weight of the filled spa.

• Locate the equipment compartment where it will be accessible. Your spa MUST be installed to permit access for servicing the equipment above and/or below any decks or floors. Access is essential and must allow adequate room for service. To facilitate repairs, Marquis Corp. or its agent may require access to spa equipment. It is your responsibility to provide unencumbered access. See spa diagrams for location of power supply.

• Leave access to the circuit breakers in the sub panel (240V models) or to the interrupter switch (GFCI, 120V models) on the end of the power cord.

• Be sure the spa is level and in the final position BEFORE filling with water. Check for power cords, tools, and hoses that may be caught underneath the spa. Do not apply power to the spa before it is completely filled with water. Damage to the pumps, heater and sensors may result.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT LET AN EMPTY SPA REMAIN EXPOSED

TO DIRECT SUNLIGHT.

Spa surface temperatures can reach in excess of 150°F (65°C) if left exposed to the sun. Significant damage can occur if this is allowed to happen, including warping and blistering of the surface. Damage, that occurs as a result of this exposure, is not covered under the warranty.

• CAUTION: Never try to move a spa that has not been fully drained. To do so could result in damage to the spa and physical injury to the mover. Cracks in the spa surface, exterior siding or DuraBase due to improper transport or support of the spa are not covered under the warranty.

8

OUTDOOR AND PATIO INSTALLATION

To install the spa outdoors, we recommend a reinforced concrete pad at least four inches thick. The reinforcing material should be attached to a #8

AWG bonding wire per national and local electrical code.

If you place the spa on the ground, even temporarily, place the spa empty of water on concrete pavers under the entire bottom of the spa. The concrete pavers should be a least two inches thick and level across the entire surface. The spa will inevitably settle and not remain level on this surface, thus it’s important to get the spa onto a solid foundation as soon as possible.

DECK INSTALLATION

Be sure the deck can support the weight of your filled spa by checking the deck’s maximum load capacity. Consult a qualified building contractor or structural engineer. Minimum requirement is 100 pounds per square foot.

INDOOR INSTALLATION

There are special requirements if you place your spa indoors. Flooring material must provide adequate traction when wet. Proper drainage is essential to prevent water puddling. Proper ventilation to the area is required. The addition of a ventilation system is recommended. Please see your contractor for details.

9

I N S T A L L A T I O N I N S T R U C T I O N S

Shut-off valve in open position

1) Center filter cartridge over canister

SHUT-OFF VALVES

Your spa is equipped with shut-off valves (see

EQUIPMENT DIAGRAM) that shut off the water flow to the equipment system for authorized Marquis

Spas ® dealer service. At times, a new spa or one that has recently been serviced, may have the shut-off valves partially closed which can restrict the water flow and hinder jet performance. Be sure the valves are fully open.

FREEZE PROTECTION

When a freeze condition is detected (which occurs when the temperature in the heater housing drops to 55°F, (13°C) the jet pump(s) is automatically activated. In areas with extremely cold winter conditions, your spa should be fine as long as it is left running at normal operating temperatures. For extra protection see your dealer for an optional freeze sensor. If you plan to turn the spa off, follow the instructions in this manual (see SUSPENDED USE OR WINTERIZING

YOUR SPA).

OVERHEATING

In the case of extended hot weather, the spa water temperature may reach and maintain 104°F to 106°F

(40°C to 41°C) or higher. This is due to the ambient temperature and the full insulation in the spa cabinet. You may have the option of shortening the pump-run time. See SPA CONTROL OPERATION for available options.

FILTER CARTRIDGES

Your portable spa is equipped with the Constant-

Clean™ Filtration system. It features one or two

Vortex filters.

NOTE: It is very important that the components of these filtration systems be installed properly in the proper part of the spa.

1. Hold the Vortex filter cartridge and center it in the opening of the filter housing.

2. Use the filter handle and turn the filter cartridge clockwise to screw it in place. (Use caution not to overtighten as damage may occur to threads and is not covered under warranty.)

3. Grasp the edge of the Vortex skimmer lid or

Waterfall, center it over the rings and gently snap in place.

2) Screw filter cartridge in place

10

Safety guard of suction fitting must remain in place.

I N S T A L L A T I O N I N S T R U C T I O N S

SUCTION GUARDS

The suction guard(s) in the footwell of your spa is an opening through which the jet pump(s) draws water.

Suction fittings are equipped with a safety guard.

Suction through the fittings can be strong. The safety guard(s) must remain in place and undamaged. A fitting with a damaged guard(s) can be dangerous, especially to small children or people with long hair.

Should any part of the body become drawn to a fitting, turn the jet pump(s) off immediately. Long hair should be restrained. Never allow long hair to float freely in the spa. Replace any missing or damaged suction guard(s).

NOTE: It is normal for the flow rates of the suction fittings to vary from strong to barely noticeable.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

It is the responsibility of the spa owner to ensure that all electrical connections are made by a qualified electrician in accordance with all national, state, and local electrical codes in effect at the time of installation.

The recommended spa operating environment is -

5°C to +45°C, at 20-80 percent of relative humidity.

Fuses are covered to be free of defect at time of installation only.

240 Volt

All connections must be made in accordance with the wiring diagram found on the inside of the control box cover. Connections must be made with copper conductors only – do NOT use aluminum wire. All conductors, circuit breakers, and fuses and the GFCI must be sized in accordance to the total amperage load as specified below.

Improperly wired spas can cause irreversible damage resulting in blown fuse and melted terminal block, and to other electrical components. Also, damage caused to components or equipment caused by high or low voltage, brown outs or electric surges is not covered under warranty.

• Permanently connected (Hard wired).

• Rated 240V, 60Hz, 50A, three wires (#6 copper) plus ground (#8 copper), [4 wires total].

• Circuit breaker or fuse size: 50A.

• A disconnecting means must be installed within sight from the equipment and at least 5 feet (1.52m) from the inside walls of the spa.

• Connect only to a circuit protected by a Class A ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).

11

I N S T A L L A T I O N I N S T R U C T I O N S

• For units used in other than single-family dwellings, a clearly labeled emer gency switch shall be provided as part of the installation. The switch shall be readily accessible to the occupants and shall be installed at least five feet (1.52

m) away, adjacent to, and within sight of the unit.

• A pressure wire connector is provided on the exterior of the control box to allow connection of a bonding wire to any metal ladder, metal water pipe, common bonding grid (reinforced concrete slab, ground plate beneath the spa), or any other metal within 5 feet (1.52 m) of the spa. The bonding wire shall be copper and at least #8 AWG (8.42mm²), #6 in Canada.

NOTE: Ensure the GFCI is properly installed. Failure to do so may result in spa malfunction or damage which is not warranted. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters are available from your Marquis Spas dealer.

!

A TTENTION

The Epic and Destiny models are equipped with a GFCI Trip Test that must be performed to assure safety and allow proper spa function.

AUTOMATIC TEST: Approximately 24 hours following startup, the spa will trip the

GFCI, testing it to insure it is functioning properly (do not call your dealer; this is a signal that the spa is wired correctly). After the trip test is complete, reset the GFCI as per the manufacturer’s instructions and the spa will function normally.

-OR- MANUAL TEST: The installer can manually initiate the GFCI Trip Test at start up with a button sequence on the control panel.

1. Press TEMP+, then JETS 1, then SPA LIGHT.

2.Press TEMP+ repeatedly until “gFC” is displayed, then press JETS 1.

3.Press TEMP+ until “Gt.n” is displayed, then press JETS 1 to initiate the test.

The GFCI should trip within several seconds and the spa should shut down. After the trip test is complete, reset the GFCI as per the manufacturer’s instructions and the spa will function normally. If the test does not trip theGFCI, manually shut down the power and verify that a GFCI breaker is installed and that the circuit,

GFCI, and spa are wired correctly. Restore power to the spa and verify the function of the GFCI with its own test button. Reset the GFCI and repeat the GFCI

Trip Test.

After passing the GFCI trip test, subsequent GFCI trips indicate a ground fault or other unsafe condition, requiring the power to the spa to be shut off. You can verify a successful test by navigating to the “gFC” item as described above, pressing JETS 1 and then pressing TEMP+ until you see “gS.P”, a code that signifies “GFCI Status – Passed”.

WARNING: The GFCI Trip Test does NOT take the place of locating, testing, and resetting the GFCI on a regular basis to verify its function.

If the spa is to be rewired, moved, or resold, the GFCI Trip Test should be reset so it will test the new GFCI. The “GFCI status – Passed” must be cleared before the test can be run.

12

I N S T A L L A T I O N I N S T R U C T I O N S

1.

Press TEMP+, then JETS 1, then SPA LIGHT.

2. Press TEMP+ repeatedly until “gFC” is displayed, then press JETS 1.

3. Press TEMP+ until “gC.n” is displayed, then press JETS 1 to clear the GFCI

Status; you will see gS.A” displayed verifying that the GFCI Status has been set to “Armed”. The system will exit this menu in 30 seconds if no buttons are pressed.

*When you enter the GFCI menu, it always shows you the current status first.

“gS.P” means that it’s Passed (and will do no further automated GFCI Trip Tests),

“gS.A” means that it’s Armed (and will do an automated GFCI Trip Test in 24 hours, unless a manual GFCI Trip Test is done before that). (“gS.t”, which you are unlikely to see unless you’ve just initiated a Trip manually, means that it’s about to

Trip within the next dozen seconds or so.)

120 Volt

120 Volt spas shall be plugged into a properly grounded, grounding type 15 amp receptacle on a dedicated circuit. A dedicated circuit is a circuit with no other components that consume power, such as lights, televisions, radios, computers, or other electronic devices. These could cause your spa to malfunction by any of the following: unusual text on the control panel, slow heating, poor jet action, tripping house breaker, or blown fuses. Failure to follow these instructions could lead to premature failure of spa components that would not be covered under the warranty. The dedicated circuit shall meet the following specifications:

• Rated 120V, 60Hz, 15A (2 wires plus ground)

• Circuit breaker or fuse size: 15A

• The receptacle must be at least 5 feet (1.52 m) from

the spa.

• The 15 foot GFCI power cord provided with the

spa must be plugged directly into the receptacle.Do

NOT use an extension cord or any other adaptor.

Actual exposed length of cord will vary by model,

but will never be less than 12 feet.

Convert 120 Volt to 240 Volt

120 Volt spas may be converted to operate on 240V, 50A. All connections must be made by a licensed electrician.

1. Disconnect the power by unplugging the power cord from the receptacle, removing the cord from the terminal block on the circuit board, and storing it with your owner’s manual.

2. Locate the white wire connecting J11 to J32 on the circuit board. Remove the wire and discard.

3. For 50A operation, move dip switch 10 to the OFF position.

4. Install 240V power as indicated in the 240 Volt section.

5. Rated 240V, 60Hz, 50A, three wires (#6 copper) plus ground (#8 copper), [4 wires total].

GFCIs are available from your authorized dealer.

Improperly wired spas are beyond Marquis Corp. control and are not covered under the warranty. Other items beyond Marquis Corp. control include, but are not limited to, damage resulting from: improper connections; accidents; failure to follow procedures and instructions defined in the Marquis Spas ® printed instructions; cleaning agents; and natural occurrences including but not limited to rodent or insect infestation, mold, lightning and other acts of nature.

START-UP PROCEDURE

Your spa is equipped with solid-state Comfort Controls specific to your spa model. (See SPA CONTROL OPERATION for your specific spa model.)

To start your spa, you need spa test strips. It is important to follow each of these steps when starting your spa. Once you have completed the following steps, see MARQUIS CARE AND ENJOYMENT GUIDE for proper water treatment.

NOTE: Your spa has been filled and test-run at the factory. The first time your spa is filled with water, some discoloration from residual test water may appear. This will disappear when the spa is completely filled and the filtration system is functioning.

WARNING: Spa must be completely filled with water before turning on power.

Test the water for the proper chemical balance and adjust as necessary.

SpaCare products are recommended. (See WATER TREATMENT.)

PROPER CHEMICAL BALANCE IS IMPORTANT for your safety and the longevity of your spa.

In the case of relocating your spa, it is imperative to follow the instructions in the owner’s manual. These instructions must remain with the spa. Damage caused by relocating spa is not covered under warranty.

THERAPY PUMP(S)

Allow the spa to circulate on high-speed (see SPA CONTROL OPERA-

TION) for four to five minutes to discharge air from the plumbing system.

Do not expect hot water immediately from the jets; the heater will take several hours to heat the water.

Start-up procedure for all models

1. Place spa on a hard, flat, level surface. Make sure the power supply is off.

2. Make sure the suction guard(s) in the footwell are in place and undamaged.

3. Open the equipment door. Tighten all disconnects and open all shut-off valves.

NOTE: Keep the drain valve closed at all times except when draining the spa (do not rely on the cap to stop the flow of water). Not doing so could result in damage to the drain valve due to freezing water.

Fill spa with water to two-thirds of the way up the Vortex skimmer opening.

Vent air by slightly opening pump unions.

Use TEMP pad to set water temperature.

4. Install filter cartridges. (See INSTALLATION

INSTRUCTIONS, Filter Cartridges.)

5. Fill the spa with water to two-thirds of the way up the Vortex skimmer openings. The use of a Fill Filter is recommended, especially in areas with high mineral content in the water.

6. Turn the power on.

7. Allow the spa to circulate on high-speed (see SPA

CONTROL OPERATION) for four to five minutes to discharge air from the plumbing system. Do not expect hot water immediately from the jets; the heater will take several hours to heat the water.

8. Your spa is now in “pump priming” mode and a “Pr” message displays in the LCD window of the control panel. While in this mode the spa appears idle, which lasts approximately four to five minutes if not exited manually. To exit manually, press the TEMP pad.

9. At this time the spa should have water flowing from the jets. If the pump has not primed andthe water is not flowing from the jets after two minutes

TURN OFF POWER TO THE SPA and vent air from the pumps by slightly opening the pump unions.

After turning the power on again, the spa initiates a new priming mode. Repeat steps above.

10. The system requires approximately two minutes of water flow to determine the water temperature.

After two minutes of water flow, the temperature is displayed as actual water temperature. After you have manually exited the priming mode (or allowed the spa to automatically exit) the LCD window momentarily displays 102°F (39°C) and then the display switches to - - °F.

11. The factory default setting for water temperature is

102°F (39°C). Use the TEMP pad on the control panel to set the water temperature to the desired level. (See SPA CONTROL OPERATION.) Your spa heats at the rate of approximately five degrees per hour for 240V systems.

DURACOVER™

When the spa is not in use, the DuraCover should be kept on the spa to retain the water’s heat and to keep out dirt, leaves, etc.

For your safety and convenience, the cover is equipped with adjustable straps, safety locks, and handles. Use the exterior handles to remove and replace your cover. Never attempt to open or remove the cover by grasping or pulling on the cover skirting or cover lock straps as the skirting will tear.

15

S T A R T I N G Y O U R S P A

Marquis suggests you use the safety locks to help keep out unintended users and prevent covers from being blown off in windy conditions. The cover and retractable cover system are not recommended for use in wind conditions reaching above 25 miles per hour. If your spa is located in an area susceptible to high winds, additional cover lock straps may be necessary to minimize cover damage.

Open the spa cover:

1.

Unfasten all cover lock straps.

2.

Place one hand under the cover skirting, between the spa and cover, to break the cover’s vacuum seal. Do not use cover handles to break vacuum seal.

3.

Fold the front half of the cover over onto the back half.

NOTE: Unlock and release all cover locks before attempting to open cover.

Damage caused by attempting to open the cover while locked or by wind is not covered under warranty. Do not walk, stand, climb, or sit on the vinyl cover or retractable cover system. Do not use hard, sharp, or metal objects, such as a windshield scraper, to remove ice. Such objects can cut, mar, or puncture the cover’s vinyl surface.

Close the spa cover:

1.

Place one hand on the upper corner of the cover and gently push forward in the direction of the spa. The cover will rotate forward to cover half of the spa.

2.

Unfold the cover by lifting the handle located on the top (front) half of the cover. Allow the unfolded half to fall down onto the spa.

3.

Secure the cover lock straps to the spa and lock them.

NOTE: When opening a cover with a cover removal mechanism, use one of the manufacturer’s recommended methods. Do not attempt to open the cover in any other way. Damage caused by improper opening or closing of the cover is not covered under the warranty.

Fading, staining, torn stitching of the spa cover and broken foam cores are not covered under the warranty if caused by improper use or maintenance.

Spa covers do not qualify for labor coverage under the warranty. These parts can be purchased or exchanged under warranty at your authorized

Marquis Spas ® dealer.

ATTENTION: If you have problems priming the pump use the black thumbscrew in the upper corner of the door area to relieve the air lock to the pump. Use this solution as you are filling the spa or if the pump is running but no water is coming out of the jets. Please refer to start up instructions in the Owner’s Manual.

1.

Make sure the spa power is off.

2.

Remove the door.

3.

Remove the thumbscrew while filling the spa. (If spa is full remove the thumbscrew and let all air purge.)

4.

Once air is purged replace the thumbscrew.

5.

Power up the spa.

6.

Make sure there are no leaks at the thumbscrew. Replace the door.

ALL SPA MODELS

PUMP PRIMING (Pr)

Pump priming feature begins at start-up. When your spa is energized, the LCD window displays a “Pr” message. This mode lasts approximately four to five minutes, if not exited manually by pressing the TEMP+- pad.

If pump is on but no water is coming out of the jets the system might be air locked. Use the following steps to resolve the lock.

1. Open equipment compartment.

2. Find the thumb screw on the elbow between the pump and the heater.

3. Turn thumb screw counter clockwise until air begins to come out. Do not fully remove thumb screw.

4. Wait until water starts to flow out of the thumb screw and then tighten it by turning clockwise until finger tight and no water is dripping.

5. Close equipment compartment and run spa as normal.

UNDERWATER AND ENTRYWAY LIGHTS

Press the LIGHT pad on bather’s panel or remote control

(optional) to turn the underwater and Entryway lights on and off. The low-voltage system produces a night light for evening use and makes entering and exiting the spa safer.

After being on for 60 minutes, the lights automatically turn off.

AQUA AMBIANCE™ AND CONSTELLATION™

Use SPA LIGHT pad. Step one: turn on light. Step two: turn off and then on within 2-3 seconds.

coverage. These parts can be purchased or exchanged under warranty at your authorized Marquis Spas ® dealer.

WATERFALL FEATURE

The Waterfall feature and Convenience Center attaches securely to the dual Vortex skimmer tops. The water flow is controlled by an independent valve. NOTE: Don’t remove the waterfall top while the pumps are running.

38

S P A C O N T R O L O P E R A T I O N

JETS

Use the JETS pad on the bather panel or remote control.

First press of the JETS pad activates pump on low-speed

(and starts soak timer). Second press of the JETS pad activates pump on high-speed. Third press of the JETS pad turns jets off for all-quiet mode. Fourth press of the

JETS pad turns pump back to low-speed. If the pump is already on low (heating, filter cycle) then the first press starts the soak timer. After running on low- or high-speed for 15 minutes, the pump automatically turns off (unless in heating or filtering cycle).

SOAK TIMER

The soak timer starts the first time you press a JETS pad. The LCD window displays the elapsed time (1-30) for 55 seconds then switches to the current water temperature for five seconds then back to the timer. It continues to alternate for the entire 30 minutes. The timer runs for 30 minutes regardless of other functions in use (jets, temperature, or light). You can manually cancel the timer by pressing the TEMP+- pad and then the LIGHT pad.

REMOTE CONTROL (OPTION)

NOTE: During times of inactivity, wireless remotes should always be stored in the cup holder on the lip of the spa or removed from the spa. By storing the wireless remote out of water, it will be less susceptible to water intrusion, a situation that can occur after extended water exposure. More often, water intrusion occurs when spa owners attempt to replace the batteries in their remote and then do not properly reseal the remote. Battery replacement should only be performed by spa care professionals. Batteries and water intrusion into remote controls is not covered under the warranty. Remote controls do not qualify for labor coverage. These parts can be purchased or exchanged under warranty at your authorized Marquis

Spas ® dealer.

CONSTANTCLEAN™ WATER MANAGEMENT

WITH BUILT-IN SANITATION SYSTEM

(See Built-in Sanitation System page 53)

Factory Default Settings:

• Filter Cycle Duration: F2 (2 hours)

• Filter Cycles: 2C (twice per day)

• Smart Logic: 1H (1 hour)

These settings represent the most commonly used settings, but your use may be different, depending upon many variables – frequency, number of bathers, duration, water capacity, etc. These variables affect the quality of water and the way it should be managed to

Marquis Ozonator reduces the need for chemical sanitizers.

S P A C O N T R O L O P E R A T I O N achieve the most effective cleansing. Selectable choices for the settings of the operation systems allows flexibility and ensures your Marquis spa remains easy to maintain for your particular set of circumstances.

SOLID-STATE OZONATOR (OPTION)

The ozone generator functions whenever the system is running on filter or clean up cycles.

CAUTION: Do not block ozone injector fitting (see spa diagrams). Blockage or partial blockage could result in back pressure that could flood the ozonator and result in failure.

SMARTCLEAN™ FILTRATION

Your spa is preset at the factory with a default setting to filter itself using the jet pump on low-speed for two hours twice in a 24 hour period. These settings represent the filter settings necessary for average use. The timing of the first filter cycle is determined by when the spa was initially energized. The first cycle begins six minutes after this initial power-up. The second filter cycle begins 12 hours after the first cycle.

To adjust the filter settings

Press the SETTING pad to display the filter time settings (F1, F2, F4, F6). Use the TEMP+- pad to scroll through the options. When desired selection has been reached, press the SETTING pad again to enter selection and advance to the filter cycle settings (2C,

1d, 1n). For example, if you select 2C and F2, your spa will filter two hours twice a day for a total of four hours of filtration daily.Use the TEMP+- pad to scroll through filter cycle options. When desired selection has been reached, press the SETTING pad to enter selection and advance to the smart logic settings.

Selectable filter cycles and cycle duration

• 2C: twice per day (once every 12 hours)

• 1d: once during the day

• 1n: once during the night

• F1: 45 minutes

• F2: 2 hours

• F4: 4 hours

• F6: 6 hours

SMARTCLEAN™

Your spa is preset at the factory with a default setting to filter for one hour (1H) every time your spa is used.

This SmartClean™ filtration cycle begins 30 minutes after the spa light or jet pump has been deactivated.

The pump runs on low-speed to filter the water for the cycle’s duration.

SOUNDSATIONS™ AUDIO-READY SYSTEM

Spa location and speaker cord routing

The factory-installed speaker cord located inside the spa’s equipment compartment is 100 ft. long. You must

locate the spa close enough to the audio source to allow the cord to be run so it is not exposed to damage and does not create a trip hazard. NOTE: A 200 ft. long speaker cord is available as an optional replacement for the supplied 100 ft. cord. Ask your authorized Marquis

Spas ® dealer for details.

Do not replace the supplied speaker cord with any other type of cord.

WARNING! Risk of electric shock: Audio source must be placed in a protected location at least five feet from the spa. Do not use a portable stereo. Do not use home audio equipment outside.

Decide on the best path for the speaker cord and then route the speaker cord out of the equipment compartment in the most appropriate manner for the installation.

The speaker cord must be installed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electric Code and all local building codes. Additional installation advise from an A/V technician may be helpful or necessary if there are any special circumstances, such as connecting to unique or complicated home theater systems.

Soundsations™ components come with a one-year warranty, 90-day labor coverage. Consult your Marquis

Soundsations™/Adagio™ Audio Systems Limited

Warranty for more information about coverage.

Connections

CAUTION! Risk of electric shock: The stereo cordconnection within the equipment compartment and the supplied 100 ft. cord which is used to conduct the audio signal to the spa are intended to carry a low voltage (12V) audio signal supplied by a conventional household-type audio system. The cord-connection and cord are not to be used for any other purpose.

CAUTION! Before making any connections, turn off the stereo receiver and unplug it from the power source.

Failure to do so may result in damage to the system.

1. To prepare the end of the speaker cord, strip approximately 2" off the outer jacket.

IMPORTANT CHEMICAL SAFETY PROCEDURES

1.

Always keep chemicals out of reach of children.

2. Read product labels carefully prior to use.

3. When dissolving, always add chemicals to water, do not add water to chemicals. Some dry chemicals should be dissolved prior to adding them to the spa. Using a clean container, dip some water from the spa. Mix until dissolved, then add to circulating water.

4. CAUTION: Do not mix chemicals together. Add them separately to the spa water.

5. All chemical products should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area where the average temperature does not exceed 90°F (32°C). Keep storage area clean of debris such as rags, newspaper, and combustible materials.

6. Keep chemicals away from open flame or other heat source. Do not smoke near chemicals. If a dry chlorine chemical fire should occur, use water only. Do not use a dry chemical fire extinguisher to attempt to put out the fire.

7. When adding chemicals, always keep the water circulating in the spa with jets in a downward circular pattern for better chemical distribution. Add chemicals to the spa water one at a time. Allow several minutes between any new chemical additions using the jet action to evenly distribute throughout the spa.

8. It is important to leave the spa cover open for 20-30 minutes while shock treating your spa to avoid damage. Do not leave spa unattended while cover is open. Damage such as discoloration or brittle vinyl due to chemical damage is not covered under the warranty.

9. After adding chemicals, wait the amount of time recommended on the chemical container before retesting your water for an accurate reading.

Retest your spa water before using.

10. If you have any questions or concerns about the correct procedures for handling chemicals, please contact your authorized Marquis Spas ® dealer.

WATER CARE

There are three things necessary for clean safe water:

1. CIRCULATE: Water has to be circulated regularly; it can not be stagnant.

2. FILTER: Water has to be filtered to remove particulate and debris.

3. SANITIZE: Water has to be sanitized to kill organisms like algae, bacteria and virus.

It is critical to maintain proper water balance to protect the spa heater and other components from damage. Damage to the spa surface and equipment caused by poor chemical or harsh chemical treatment is not covered under the warranty. Discoloration of jet faces, valves and controls are an indication of poor chemical maintenance or exposure to the sun.

Jet inserts and valves do not qualify for labor coverage. These parts can be purchased or exchanged under warranty at your authorized Marquis Spas ® dealer. Gaskets and seals are not covered under the warranty.

58

M A R Q U I S C A R E & E N J O Y M E N T G U I D E

The control system in your Marquis spa will automatically circulate and filter.

(See SPA CONTROL OPERATION, ConstantClean™ and SmartClean™ sections.) The sanitation requires minimal effort if done consistently and properly.

To sanitize spa water, three things are required:

1. BALANCE: The water must be balanced so the sanitizer can work and spa equipment is protected.

2. SHOCK: Shock to oxidize organics and maximize sanitizer efficiency.

3. SANITIZE: Maintain a proper level of sanitizer at all times.

UNDERSTANDING WATER BALANCE

Water balance is the interrelation of factors that determine the quality of the spa water. The effectiveness of chemicals and other additives are dependent on all these factors working together or “in balance”. The primary elements to water balance are the calcium hardness, total alkalinity and pH. Always use water treatment products recommended for use in a Marquis spa.

pH Balance

Keeping the pH balanced is the most critical component of water balance.

Calcium hardness and total alkalinity act as buffers to stabilize the pH.

When they are properly adjusted, the pH will be stable and easy to maintain. The pH is a measure of the relative acidity and basicity of the water.

The ideal pH range is 7.4 - 7.6. When the pH falls below 7.2, the water can become corrosive. Low pH can cause damage to metal in the control system and heater, excessive sanitizer consumption, and skin irritation. A pH above 7.8 can be scale-forming and allow metals or minerals in the water to form deposits and stain spa surfaces. pH above 7.8 can also cause eye and skin irritation.

Total Alkalinity

Alkalinity acts as a buffer to prevent the pH from changing as other substances are added to the water. Stability of the pH is directly related to the alkalinity. The alkalinity should be between 80 - 140 ppm. Alkalinity below 80 ppm makes it difficult to stabilize the pH. Alkalinity above 140 ppm may increase the pH and cause cloudy water, scaling, and decreased efficiency of the sanitizer.

Note: Alkalinity & pH Increase and Alkalinity & pH Decrease will affect both the pH and alkalinity. Generally, smaller additions will change the pH and have a very minor effect on the alkalinity. Larger additions will also affect the pH, but will have a much greater effect on the alkalinity. (Example: If the pH is very high and the alkalinity is within range, adding a few smaller doses of pH and alkalinity

Decrease instead of one large dose will reduce the pH with little effect on the alkalinity.)

59

M A R Q U I S C A R E & E N J O Y M E N T G U I D E

Calcium Hardness

Do not use soft water in your spa. It is critical to have calcium in your water.

The ideal range of calcium is between 200 – 300 ppm. The calcium hardness is normally adjusted when filling or refilling after draining the spa. High calcium levels can cause scale buildup on spa surfaces and equipment.

Your spa can be protected against high calcium by using Metal & Stain

Remover per the directions on the container. Low calcium levels can cause spa water to become highly corrosive and damaging to the equipment components and plumbing. To raise calcium levels, use Calcium Hardness

Increase.

BALANCE

When initially filling or refilling your spa, follow these steps to achieve proper water balance.

IMPORTANT! Always follow instructions on the chemical container when adding chemicals.

1. Test the spa water using a test strip or test kit. Determine the pH and alkalinity of the water.

2. If adjustments are needed for the pH and/or alkalinity, always balance the alkalinity before balancing the pH. The product(s) you should use to adjust pH and/ or alkalinity are pH Alkalinity Increaser or pH & Alkalinity

Decreaser. Make any additions per the directions on the bottle and then test and repeat if necessary until all readings are in the desired range.

3. Increase the calcium hardness if necessary.

SHOCK

Initial Treatment

Shock the spa using granular Chlorine Sanitizer or non-chlorine Spa Shock.

Add directly to the spa per the instructions on the container. For the initial treatment, Chlorine Sanitizer is preferred as it will also establish a residual of sanitizer.

Maintenance Treatment

Once bacteria and other wastes are neutralized by the sanitizer, they stay in the water unless oxidized or shocked. Often called chloramines or bromamines, they create dull, cloudy water and can cause odor and eye or skin irritation. Shock treatment rids your spa of these wastes for clear, sparkling water. Shocking with non-chlorine Spa Shock or granular Chlorine

Sanitizer is recommended once a week or whenever the water appears dull or cloudy or has a strong odor. Non-chlorine Spa Shock allows use of the spa 15 minutes after shock treatment.

NOTE: A strong bromine or chlorine odor typically indicates the spa needs to be shocked – not that there is too much bromine or chlorine in the water.

A properly balanced spa that is shocked regularly will not have an odor.

60

M A R Q U I S C A R E & E N J O Y M E N T G U I D E

SANITIZE

ConstantClean™ System (option)

The ConstantClean™ system utilizes a combination of sanitizers to increase water quality and significantly decrease maintenance. The combination of a Spa Frog® Mineral Cartridge* and the factory installed ozonator greatly reduce the amount of sanitizer required. Instead of the normal 3 - 5 ppm of bromine, you may only need to maintain 1 - 2 ppm of bromine.

NOTE: The use of Spa Frog® floating cartridges is recommended. Do not use other floating chemical dispensers or Biguanide. Damage to the spa shell and other internal components can occur.

* The built-in sanitation system is not available in some international markets. However, the ozone system is available on all spa models in all countries. Please see your dealer for recommended alternate treatment method if the built-in sanitation system is not available.

BUILT-IN SANITATION SYSTEM*

After shocking the spa water with Chlorine Sanitizer granules or nonchlorine Spa Shock, bring the spa water to operating temperature. Then install the Spa Frog® cartridges.

ADJUST THE MINERAL CARTRIDGE

Remove the protective cellophane wrap from the Spa Frog® mineral

cartridge. While holding the bottom of the cartridge, turn the top until the number six appears in the setting window.

NOTE: The mineral cartridge should be replaced every three to four months. You will still feel the “spent” minerals inside, but they are no longer effective and the cartridge needs to be replaced. It is recommended to drain and refill the spa at the same time you replace the mineral cartridge.

ADJUST THE BROMINE CARTRIDGE

Remove the protective cellophane wrap from the Spa Frog ® bromine

cartridge. Finding the right setting for the bromine cartridge will require monitoring your usage for the first few weeks. Begin with an initial setting based on the chart below and monitor bromine levels daily for the first week or so, adjusting the cartridge by one setting per day until a 3 - 5 ppm level has been achieved. To adjust cartridge, remove from system and turn to the next highest setting if the bromine level is low or the next lower setting if the bromine level is high. The bromine cartridge needs to be replaced when empty between two and four weeks. Always maintain 3 - 5 ppm of bromine.

INSTALL THE CARTRIDGES

Locate and remove the cartridge holder cap on the top lip of the spa. Push down and turn the holder counterclockwise to unlock. Lift holder out. Snap the Spa Frog ® mineral cartridge into the area of the holder marked “MINER-

ALS” (top portion), making sure to line up the indentation near the top of the cartridge with the raised line on the holder. Then snap the Spa Frog ®

bromine cartridge into the area of the holder marked “BROMINE”. Be sure to line up the indentation on the cartridge with the raised line on the holder.

After cartridges are snapped in,return the holder, push down, and then turn clockwise to lock into place. Replace the cap.

CAUTION: Hand-tighten only; avoid over tightening; avoid bending the holder to help prevent damage to the holder. Damage caused due to improper removal or installation of chemical cartridge holder is not covered under the warranty. Cartridge holder is warranted to be free from defects at time of delivery of spa. Chemical cartridge holders do not qualify for labor coverage. These parts can be purchased or exchanged under warranty at your authorized Marquis Spas ® dealer.

WATER CARE REGIMEN

Marquis SpaCare™ products are classified by easy to follow usage guidelines. The information below indicates whether the product should be used daily, weekly, monthly, when filling, or as needed – if special water conditions arise.

DAILY

Sanitizer

Maintain 1 - 2 ppm of bromine at all times.

WEEKLY

Spa Shock

Sanitizer combines with bacteria and neutralizes sanitizer/bacteria on contact. However, the used sanitizer/bacteria particle is still present in the spa water. Used sanitizer in the water emits an odor and causes cloudy water. To oxidize, or rid the spa of this used sanitizer, you must shock the spa once a week. NOTE: Additional shocking may be necessary if the spa is under heavy use.

AS NEEDED PRODUCTS pH & Alkalinity Increase pH & Alkalinity Decrease

These two products work to raise or lower the pH and alkalinity in the spa.

They are only needed if the test strip indicates the levels are not in the ideal ranges.

Water Clarifier

Microscopic particles can pass through the spa filter and create cloudy water. The use of Marquis SpaCare™ Water Clarifier combines these microscopic particles into larger particles that can be trapped in the filter to clear cloudy water.

Spa Defoamer

If foam appears in your spa, the action of the jets will keep it from dissipating. The use of Marquis SpaCare™ Spa Defoamer instantly rids your spa water of foam.

Metal and Stain Remover

Metal and Stain Remover will remove metals such as iron and copper from spa water.

WEEKLY MAINTENANCE

Removing Debris

Remove any debris and leaves from the Vortex skimmers and suction guard(s) on the inside of the spa. Blocked intakes can impede the flow of water through the jetting system.

Water Level

Replenish the water level if necessary so that it is approximately two-thirds up the

Vortex skimmer opening. (See STARTING YOUR SPA.) Low and high water levels can damage your spa. It is important to check your water level often.

MONTHLY MAINTENANCE

Filter Care

We cannot stress enough the importance of a clean filter for proper water filtration. Dirty filters can restrict water flow, cause hazy water, and prevent your chemicals from working properly. Dirty filters can also cause low flow from jets, poor water clarity and sensors to activate error codes. It is important to clean filters regularly. Many water treatment products clear or clarify the water by clumping microscopic particles and minerals together so that these larger particles can be effectively trapped in the filter. A filter clogged with debris and calcium deposits does not trap particles properly. Soak your filter cartridges in

Filter Cleaner monthly.

The Maintenance Reminder on the spa-side Control Panel indicates a CL every

30 days to remind you to clean your filter.

Removing the Filter

Turn off the spa breaker. Grasp the edge of the Vortex skimmer lid or Waterfall, pull up firmly, but gently, to remove it.

Turn the filter cartridge counterclockwise to unscrew it from its base. Lift out the filter cartridge.

Use a hose to clean the filter cartridge and Filter Cleaner to soak the filters.

NOTE: Keep an extra set of filters on hand so you always have a clean set ready for immediate spa enjoyment. Remember to replace the filter cartridges at least once a year.

Reinstalling the Filter

Repeat the steps above in reverse. Do not overtighten the filter as it may cause the threads on the bottom to strip and fail to hold the filter in place. When replacing the Waterfall, center the top over the raised filter ring and press down firmly until the top snaps into place. (See INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS, Filter

Cartridges.)

CAUTION: Over-tightening of the filter can cause the filter or filter housing to crack. Tighten filter until it is just snug.

NOTE: Filters and filter lids do not qualify for labor coverage. These parts can be purchased or exchanged under warranty at your authorized

Marquis Spas ® dealer.

M A I N T E N A N C E

Leakage Detection

Open the equipment door and check for signs of water leakage around the pump(s). Pump seals wear out over time, especially with improper water chemistry. Early detection of pump seal failure can significantly reduce repair costs.

Pump seals, heater gaskets and pump gaskets must be checked each month to ensure they are not leaking. Further damage caused by a leak from any component is not covered under the warranty.

EVERY THREE TO FOUR MONTHS

Draining and Filling the Spa

The average spa needs to be drained every three to four months. After months of continually adding chemicals to the water and introducing body oils and lotions, the water can be difficult to manage and chemicals are not as effective as usual. You may also notice excessive foaming. More frequent draining may be required depending on use.

Draining the Spa

1. Turn off the power to the spa.

2. Open the equipment compartment (see EQUIPMENT DIAGRAM). Remove the hose bib cap from the connection and attach a hose.

3. Open the drain valve. Gravity causes the water to drain out of the hose.

4. When the spa is empty, close the drain valve and remove the hose.

Reinstall the hose bib plug.

spa (do not rely on the cap to stop the flow of water). Not doing so could result in damage to the drain valve due to freezing water.

Ozonator Operation

Clean the ozone injector and fitting every six months. A mineral build up may clog the ozone injector, causing a lack of flow or low flow of ozone. To prevent this, perform the following:

1. Disconnect power to the spa.

2. Open the equipment compartment.

3. Locate the ozonator in the equipment compartment (see spa equipment diagrams) and unplug the ozonator from the control box.

4. Place 16 oz. of white vinegar (white vinegar will not damage the spa components) into a container such as a cup or bucket. Place the container on the equipment compartment floor.

5. Carefully loosen the long clear tube to the bottom of the ozonator. A liquid substance may be found inside the tubing. If it is present, be certain not to come into contact with the liquid.

6. WARNING: Nitric acid accumulates in the air lines of the ozonator and injector. Nitric acid will cause severe chemical burns if direct skin contact is made, so always wear protective gloves, glasses and clothing when working on the ozonator or injector lines. To prevent inhalation or ingestion of the nitric acid, DO NOT blow or inhale with your mouth to any of the adapters, fittings or tubing of the ozonator or injector air lines.

67

M A I N T E N A N C E

7. Place the end of the tubing into the vinegar, making certain that the end of the tubing sits at the bottom of the container.

8. Reconnect power to the spa.

9. Run the spa until all of the vinegar is gone. This should allow an ample low of vinegar to be run through the injector and clear the blockage.

10. Disconnect power to the spa.

11. Remove the empty cup or bucket.

12. Reinstall the tubing to the bottom of the ozonator.

13. Plug the ozonator into the control box.

14. Close the equipment compartment door.

15. Reconnect power to the spa.

Replacing the Mineral Cartridge

The Spa Frog ® mineral cartridge should be replaced every three to four months. You may still feel the “spent” minerals inside, but they are no longer effective and need to be replaced. (See ADJUST THE MINERAL CAR-

TRIDGES, Blue Mineral Cartridge.)

Clean the DuraShell ® Interior

Once the spa is drained, clean the DuraShell interior thoroughly – especially at the water line. We suggest the Glove Sponge to clean without scratching.

Bleach (diluted) is the recommended cleaning agent for DuraShell – other products should be avoided except as stated below.

To maintain the high gloss and elegant look of DuraShell ® , just follow these simple steps: For normal care and cleaning use a soft cloth or sponge and water. Rinse well and dry with a soft, clean cloth. Never use abrasive cleaners. Do not allow your acrylic surface to come into contact with products such as ketones or esters such as acetone or ethyl acetate (nail polish remover), Wintergreen oil (methyl salicylate), nail polish, dry cleaning solution or other chlorinated organic solvents, lacquer thinners, gasoline, aromatic solvents, citrus cleaners, pine oil, etc. Remove dust and dry dirt with a soft, damp cloth. Clean grease, oil, paint and ink stains with diluted isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol (do not let alcohol pool or remain on acrylic). Dry with a clean, soft cloth. Avoid using razor blades or other sharp instruments that might scratch the surface.

NOTE: Due to the high-gloss, fine finish of the acrylics, imperfections in the surface texture may occur. These in no way compromise the integrity of the spa shell.

NOTE: Do not leave an empty spa uncovered. Direct sunlight on the spa surface can cause severe damage or blemishing and can result in the voiding of any surface warranties.

68

M A I N T E N A N C E

Refill the Spa

Fill the spa with fresh water from a garden hose and balance the water as described in the Water Treatment section. The use of a Fill Filter is recommended when filling especially in areas of high mineral content in the water.

Attach to the end of a garden hose to filter out any grit and sediment that could accumulate in the spa and potentially scratch the spa surface.

AS NEEDED MAINTENANCE

Cover Care

It is recommended that you use Marquis Cover Cleaner to keep the Dura-

Cover™ clean and conditioned. Proper care of the cover increases the life and keeps it looking great in even the harshest conditions. NOTE: Do not use regular household products or products that contain silicone, alcohol, steel wool, or bleach.

1. Remove the cover from the spa and gently lean it against a wall or fence.

2. Use a garden hose to spray the cover and loosen and rinse away dirt or debris.

3. Use a large sponge and/or soft bristle brush with a very mild soap solution.

Scrub the vinyl top in a circular motion. Rinse vinyl clean before a soap film has a chance to dry.

4. Scrub the perimeter of the cover and side flaps. Rinse clean with water.

5. Rinse off underside of cover with water only (no soap) and wipe clean with a dry rag.

6. Use Cover Cleaner to condition the top of the cover after cleaning.

Cushioned Headrest Care

To increase the life of your cushioned headrest, remove and replace them with care only when necessary.

Remove Cushioned Headrest

Slip your fingers under each end of the interior cushioned headrest part and gently pull straight towards you. Damage caused to attachments due to improper removal is not covered under warranty. Pillows and attachments are warranted to be free of defects at delivery only.

DuraWood Care

Clean the exterior of the spa with a mild soap and water solution. Cleaners that contain alcohol or high levels of solvents, along with Acetone, Nitrobenzene, and Cyclohexanol, can dissolve and discolor the DuraWood exterior.

Excess Debris

Grit and debris tracked into the spa should be removed with a spa vacuum.

Water Line

To avoid buildup of oils and lotions at the water line, clean the interior when needed. We suggest the Glove Sponge to clean without scratching.

NOTE: Do not use the same brush or sponge to clean the exterior of the spa and the interior of the spa. Soap and other product residue used on the outside of the spa can cause foaming of the spa water and scratches to the spa surface if used on the inside of the spa.

69

M A I N T E N A N C E

Light Bulb Replacement:

1. Turn off the power to the spa.

2. Remove the equipment area door to find the light access. (See EQUIPMENT

DIAGRAM.)

3. Remove the lamp socket from the back of the light assembly by turning counterclockwise and pulling at the same time.

4. Gently pull the bulb out of the lamp socket and replace it with a 6 watt bulb only (GE #918) available from your spa dealer.

5. Install the lamp socket back into the light assembly and replace door.

SUSPENDED USE OR WINTERIZING THE SPA

If you decide to discontinue the use of your spa for any extended period of time, we suggest you follow the steps below.

NOTE: During long periods of inactivity, damage can occur to equipment from condensation within the equipment compartment. Failure to follow these instructions during freezing conditions will result in cracked fitting(s) and glue joints, and other damage.

1. Turn off the power to the spa.

2. Drain the spa. (See DRAINING AND REFILLING THE SPA.)

3. Remove all residual water from the seating and footwell. If necessary, bail out the remaining water then dry the spa with towels. A wet/dry vacuum is recommended for best results.

4. Using the wet/dry vacuum, place vacuum nozzle over each jet nozzle to remove water from plumbing lines, starting with the highest jet and finishing with the lowest jet. NOTE: The spa is equipped with a Tri-Zone control which is used to divert water between different jet zones. The valve must be

“open” to the particular jets you are vacuuming.

5. Unscrew the pump plug(s) from the pump(s). (See STARTING YOUR SPA.)

6. Again, using the wet/dry vacuum, place nozzle over the exposed pump opening(s) to remove excess water. The pump(s) should be removed from the spa and stored in a climate-controlled room.

7. Clean the spa interior.

8. Clean the filter cartridges.

9. Reinstall the DuraCover™ and lock in place. NOTE: Direct sunlight on the spa surface can cause severe damage or blemishing and can result in the voiding of any surface warranties.
