Laguna Bay Spas Spa Owner’s Guide Book

Laguna Bay Spas are designed to keep water warm and insulated against heat loss. Features include a topside control, a spa heater, a drain valve, a slice valve, a plumbing union, a filter assembly, suction drain covers, a diverter valve and an air valve. The Spa Pack is the computer that controls the spa. The Topside Control allows you to change what the spa does by pressing buttons. The Spa Heater heats the water in the spa. The Drain Valve is used to remove water from the spa. The Slice Valves close the plumbing lines allowing service on the spa without draining the water from the spa. The Plumbing Unions connect the plumbing lines to the spa components. The Filter Assembly consists of the filter, the filter basket and the floating weir. The Suction Drain Covers are on the sides in the foot well of the spa. The Diverter Valve is a large rotating dial on the topside of the spa used to control flow of the water between sections of the spa controlled by each pump in the spa. The Air Valve is a smaller rotating valve on the topside of the spa that looks like the Diverter Valve, but is smaller in size.

Frequently asked questions

The Spa Pack is the computer that controls the spa. Pressing buttons on the topside controls triggers a reaction in the spa pack. When the “jets” button is pressed, the spa pack triggers the pump to push water back into the spa through the jets. When the “temperature up” button is pressed, the spa pack triggers the heater and pump to begin circulating water until it reaches the desired temperature.

The Topside Control is like the keyboard for a computer. It allows you to change what the spa does by pressing buttons. Temperature, filtration, energy consumption and jets are all controlled by pressing the buttons on the spa controls. The options offered on the spa controls will vary depending on the model purchased. Please refer to the model specific controls for detailed instructions.

The Spa Heater heats the water in the spa. When the water temperature falls below the allowed temperature range, the heater comes on and heats the water to the preset temperature. When the heater is on, a light on top of the heater box turns on.

The Drain Valve is used to remove water from the spa. It is located at the base in the corner of the spa cabinet. The valve is attached to a hose inside the cabinet which allows you to drain all of the water from the spa. It moves outward to open the valve and inward to close the valve. After attaching a water hose to the drain valve, pull the valve gently outward 1 1/2”, remove the cap and attach a water hose. Push the drain inward 1/2” and allow the spa to drain completely. Gently pull the valve outward, remove the hose and replace the cap. Push the valve inward so it is flush with the frame. Check to be sure no water is draining from the drain valve as you refill the spa.

The Slice Valves (Gate Valves or “T” Stems), close the plumbing lines allowing service on the spa without draining the water from the spa. The slice valves are placed in the plumbing lines near the pump(s). When the spa is serviced, the lock is removed and the “T” stem is pushed down which creates a seal allowing parts between the “T” stems to be serviced. When service is complete, the “T” stems are raised and locked in the up position.

The Plumbing Unions connect the plumbing lines to the spa components. When you receive the spa and each time you fill the spa with water, you should hand tighten the plumbing unions, which loosen in transit and when seasons change. In many cases, when there is a leak inside the spa cabinet, it is from a plumbing union that needs to be tightened. Do not use tools or overtighten plumbing unions as you may damage the spa.

The Filter Assembly consists of the filter, the filter basket and the floating weir. Never use the spa without the filter assembly in place because it will not only damage the spa but is a drowning hazard. If any part of the filter basket assembly is damaged, do not use the spa until it has been replaced. To remove the filter basket when filling the spa or changing the filter, turn the basket counter clockwise until it stops to unlock the basket. Lift the basket assembly to remove. Lift the filter out of the filter housing. Replace the filter, place the basket assembly over the filter housing and turn the basket assembly clockwise until it stops and is locked in place. The filter basket catches large debris, the filter catches fine particulates and oil. You should check the filter assembly on a regular basis making sure the basket is free of debris and the filter is in good condition. If the filter assembly is obstructed, flow will be restricted and damage the spa. The manufacturer recommends that you replace the filter every three months. To prevent air getting into your spa, you should soak new filters in water for 30 minutes before installing.

The Suction Drain Covers are on the sides in the foot well of the spa. They are caps that cover the suction drains that prevent debris from being sucked into the plumbing lines. If the suction drain covers are obstructed, flow is restricted which can damage your spa. It is important to check them on a regular basis to be certain they are in good condition to help prevent risk of drowning. Keep hair, clothing and children away from the suction drains when using the spa. Do not use the spa if they need to be replaced. You should avoid contact with the suction drain covers when the GFCI is powered “on”.

The Diverter Valve is a large rotating dial on the topside of the spa used to control flow of the water between sections of the spa controlled by each pump in the spa. The diverter valve rotates right and left. Do not over turn the diverter valve which has built in “stops”. If turning the diverter valves is difficult when the jets are turned on, turn the jets off and rotate the diverter valve, then turn the jets back on. Forcing the valve to turn past it’s built in “stop” or when there is excessive pressure build up will damage the spa. When the diverter valve is positioned in the center, water flow will be spread evenly throughout each area of the spa controlled by a diverter valve. Turning the diverter valve all the way to one side will restrict the water flow from one section and force all of the flow into the other section. Turning the diverter valve all the way to the other side will reverse the flow of water to the opposite side of the spa.

The Air Valve is a smaller rotating valve on the topside of the spa that looks like the Diverter Valve, but is smaller in size. It is used to increase or decrease air flow through the jets. Increasing air flow creates “bubble action” as the water enters the spa. The air valve rotates right and left. Do not over turn the air valve which has built in “stops”. Forcing the valve to turn past it’s built in “stop” will damage the spa.
