of any spa to assure safety, compliance with national, state and local building, electrical and plumbing codes and to account for local geotechnical and environmental conditions. For further assistance, please contact your authorized TidalFit

™ Dealer.

1. Place the swim spa and exercise pool on a structurally sound and level surface that is large enough for the entire spa. Allow additional space for easy access to equipment compartments and circuit breakers. The location must allow for electrical connections and components to remain dry and away from external sources of water. An adequate drainage system containing proper drainage away from the spa to deal with overflow water and prevent water from entering the electrical equipment areas is necessary in both semi-inground and above ground installations in order to prevent damage to electronics and tripping circuit breakers. The foundation and/or floor must be able to bear the weight of the expected load consisting of both the filled spa and occupants. Please contact your local authorized dealer and/or contractor to get the maximum weight value for the corresponding spa model.

2. If the swim spa and exercise pool is placed on the ground, even for a short period of time, it must be supported by stones that are at least 2 inches (5.1 cm) thick and 12 inches (30.5 cm) square. Placing the spa on a solid foundation as soon as possible is recommended.

3. The swim spa and exercise pool must be on a solid, level foundation which may include a concrete pad, concrete pavers or bricks, pea gravel, crushed rock 1.5”

(4 cm) or less, or a reinforced deck. Concrete foundations must be a minimum 6 inch (15 cm) cement slab that has properly cured for at least 72 hours (this duration may vary due to local conditions and cement properties) and should be reinforced with rebar or mesh. Rebar or mesh reinforcement in the pad should be attached to a #10 AWG bonding wire per national electrical codes. Contact your local building department or electrical code compliance inspector for more information and to determine whether an inspection for proper grounding is required before pouring the concrete slab. The swim spa and exercise pool warranty will be voided if an improper installation is performed. Structural damage due to an inadequate or improper foundation is not covered under warranty.

4. Ensure ample space is provided for any required servicing, that equipment access panels are not blocked and easy access to electrical panels or Ground

Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) is available. Installation of all swim spas and exercise pools must be in accordance with national, state and local electrical codes and rules. A licensed Electrician must perform the electrical installation of models without a preinstalled cord and conduct a GFCI test procedure in accordance with applicable codes and approved building

15

plans if required. Fixed wiring requires a disconnect device to be incorporated into the wiring in accordance with national, state and local electrical codes and rules. When permitted by applicable codes and rules, a GFCI or Residual-Current Device (RCD) sub-panel may be used in place of a disconnect device. All TidalFit™ Dual Temp FitSpa swim spas and exercise pools are manufactured and tested to all required codes and standards providing maximum protection against electrical shock. Swim spa and exercise pool safety features may not operate properly due to improper wiring and could result in risk of fire, electrical shock, injury, or death. In accordance with all pertinent national, state and local codes and rules, all metal components within the maximum specified distance must be bonded and connected to the ground lug on the exterior of the swim spa and exercise pool control pack.

5. Ensure the equipment compartment is in a location where it will not be damaged by water infiltration due to drainage or constant exposure. Cover the equipment compartment with a heavy screen if rodents are a problem. Damage due to rodents is not covered under warranty .

Outdoor Swim spa and exercise pool Installation Guidelines

WARNING: To prevent serious damage to the spa, support surfaces, support structures and/or injury, it is important that the spa foundation be supported by a stable and consistent subsurface.

Swim spa and exercise pool placement must take into consideration national, state and local building, electrical, plumbing and safety codes, as well as local environmental and geotechnical conditions.

Proof of code compliance for the proposed design plans by a qualified licensed contractor, engineer and/or architect prior to installation may be required for issuance of construction permits.

The swim spa and exercise pool must be positioned at the minimum horizontal and vertical distances from all overhead power lines as required by national, state and local codes. Further factors to consider are the desired proximity to the home, environmental exposures such as wind and sun (ultraviolet radiation), location of trees and other vegetation (falling leaves, grass and dirt tracked into swim spa and exercise pool, roots, shade, etc.), dressing area, landscaping design, lighting, etc. when selecting a location

Since ambient humidity will rise around the swim spa and exercise pool, materials and components in the surrounding area must be able to withstand elevated humidity levels.

Some chemicals for use in sanitation of the swim spa and exercise pool may corrode metals or degrade other materials in the surrounding area. To avoid potential water damage to the cabinet and frame, the swim spa and exercise pool must be located on a

16

site away from automatic sprinklers, drains, gutters, etc. and/or sources of frequent external water exposure.

For installations on a deck or elevated surface, the maximum filled weight of the swim spa and exercise pool and occupants must be determined.

The adequacy of the structural support for a swim spa and exercise pool placed on a deck or an elevated structure must be determined by a licensed structural engineer, architect or contractor depending on local and state requirements. Inadequate structural support may result in structural damage to the swim spa and exercise pool and/or serious injury or death to occupants. Have the swim spa and exercise pool deck installed by a knowledgeable contractor to ensure proper support.

Indoor Swim spa and exercise pool Installation Guidelines

Swim spa and exercise pool placement must take into consideration national, state and local building, electrical and plumbing codes, local geotechnical conditions affecting the structure of the building, indoor environmental conditions, etc. The surrounding floor surface must have sufficient traction to prevent slips and falls when wet. It is recommended that a floor drain and/or catch basin is present to remove water that accumulates in the area with a capacity up to the total volume of the swim spa and exercise pool model. Since ambient humidity will rise due to the swim spa and exercise pool, ample ventilation is required to prevent mold, mildew, rot, fungus, bacteria and other conditions related to high humidity. Materials and components in the surrounding area must be able to withstand elevated humidity levels. Some chemicals for use in sanitation of the swim spa and exercise pool may corrode metals, or degrade other materials in the surrounding area. A ventilation design incorporating suction, fresh air intake, cross ventilation and/or dehumidifiers may be required and should be determined by an appropriately licensed professional. Ensure ample room is provided for any required servicing and that equipment access panels are not blocked. Strong foundational support is vital, particularly if a second story site is selected. The adequacy of the structural support for a swim spa and exercise pool placed on a floor above ground level or an elevated surface must be determined by a licensed structural engineer, architect or contractor depending on local and state requirements. Have the swim spa and exercise pool deck installed by a knowledgeable contractor to ensure proper support.

Electrical Wiring

WARNING: The swim spa and exercise pool must be wired by a certified electrician in accordance with local codes and regulations, as well as with these instructions. Failure to do so will terminate all warranties and invalidate the independent certification company’s mark.

TidalFit™ Dual Temp FitSpa™ Semi-Inground Swim Spa and Exercise

Pool Installation

The depth of the excavation will vary based upon the on the terrain or slope and model. C onsultation a qualified licensed contractor, engineer and/or architect prior to the installation to assure safety, compliance with national, state and local building, electrical and plumbing codes and to account for local geotechnical and environmental conditions is highly recommended as the instructions, dimensions and materials provided are the bare minimum for a general install with ideal conditions.

Please refer to the appropriate model’s architectural drawings for dimensions and component locations.

22

Place one bag of ice in each corner and one in the middle of each long side. This will allow you to remove the straps once the spa is in position.

Figure 7. Ice Bag Positioning in Excavation

Crane the spa into position like a normal spa delivery.

23

Figure 8. Swim Spa And Exercise Pool Position in Excavation on Ice Bag

Allow the ice to melt and then the excavation will be ready for back fill with gravel.

In a flat application, use gravel NOT dirt. When using dirt in other applications, compaction is required to reduce the occurrence of uneven forces on the swim spa and exercise pool. Gravel provides about 98% compaction just by filling in the void space

(over dig). The concrete for the deck may now be poured. If a wooden deck is being built there is no real need to backfill except to keep the ground around the swim spa or exercise pool from eroding.

5. With the front panel off, verify there are no leaks at the pump unions. Pump unions can become loose during shipping. Verify that there are no leaks during filling of the swim spa and exercise pool.

6. Replace both filters.

Powering the Swim Spa and Exercise Pool On

Turn the power to the swim spa and exercise pool on at the main circuit breaker. Verify that the swim spa and exercise pool has no warnings or error messages on the panel display. To verify the circulation system is in good working order, perform the following steps:

1. Open all jets to maximum flow position.

2. Press the Jet 1, 2 and 3 buttons to turn the individual pumps on or off.

3. Observe and verify good water flow exists in the jets of each seat.

Upon initial start, one pump will initially come on for 5 minutes and then cycle through each pump sequentially for a one minute duration.

Testing the GFCI for a 60 Hz System

The electrical service panel for the swim spa and exercise pool must be equipped with a GFCI. To avoid the risk of electrical shock, perform the following safety test before each use of the swim spa and exercise pool:

1. Check that the power is turned on at the electrical service panel.

2. Turn on the GFCI. If the GFCI stays on, it is functioning properly.

The swim spa and exercise pool system will automatically trip the GFCI 24 hours after power up. This is a safety feature and cannot be disabled.

The installer can cause the GFCI Trip Test to occur by initiating it with the following button sequence.

The GFCI should trip within several seconds and the swim spa and exercise pool should shut down. If it does not, shut down the power and manually verify that a GFCI breaker is installed and that the circuit and swim spa and exercise pool are wired correctly.

Once the GFCI is tripped by the test, reset the GFCI and the swim spa and exercise pool will operate normally thereafter. You can verify a successful test by navigating to the “GFCI Test” page as described in the above steps.

To verify the test restore the power to the pool and repeat the GFCI Trip Test. The GFCI status should change from armed to passed.

DANGER RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK

If the GFCI fails to operate as described, there is a possibility of electric shock if the swim spa and exercise pool is used. Shut off the power at the main electrical service panel until the source of the problem has been identified and corrected by a licensed electrician or qualified swim spa and exercise pool technician.

Priming Pumps

1. Turn off power at electrical service panel.

2. Locate and loosen the pump union by turning it counterclockwise one half of one turn.

3. Allow air to escape from the fitting. When a steady stream of water flows from the pump union, close it by turning it clockwise until tight.

4. Turn on power at electrical service panel.

32

5. Perform one additional check to ensure water is flowing from the jets during the auto purge cycle. If so, continue to Water Preparation. If no water flow is coming from the swim spa and exercise pool jets, please call your TidalFit ™ dealer for further assistance.

Water Preparation

Proper understanding of the treatment of fresh water prior to use is an important part of maintenance and is one of the key aspects enabling worry free usage. Failure to properly prepare the water can result in substantially decreased life of the components and may void the warranty in severe cases.

MAINTAINING THE SWIM SPA AND EXERCISE POOL

Draining the Swim Spa and Exercise Pool

The swim spa and exercise pool needs to be drained, cleaned, waxed, and refilled about every six months. More frequent water changes may be necessary if bather load is heavy. A hose bib has been provided to assist in draining the swim spa and exercise pool.

Figure 24. Hose Bib Opening Instructions

1) Turn off the power to the swim spa and exercise pool. Failing to turn the power off, could cause vital components to be damaged. Do not leave an empty swim spa and exercise pool exposed for long periods of time in hot, sunny weather.

2) Pull tab and then turn counter clockwise till cap is removed.

3) Connect the hose to hose bib.

4) Pull hose bib out to ensure opening of nozzle/drain plug.

5) Check the garden hose end to see if water is flowing. If water is not flowing, check the hose for kinks. Also check to see if the valve is in the full open position.

CAUTION: The chemical content and temperature of the water will cause damage to certain vegetation. Draining the swim spa and exercise pool onto plants or

62

lawns is not recommended. When choosing to do this, please remove the swim spa and exercise pool cover and allow swim spa and exercise pool to cool for a minimum of 24 hours with the swim spa and exercise pool turned off.

Pillow Care

Remove and clean the pillows with soapy water and a soft cloth when needed. Use a vinyl conditioner once a month. Remove pillows when doing chemical shock treatment.

Jet Care

Cleaning the jets when draining the swim spa and exercise pool is recommended.

1) Spray jet inserts with a mixture of 1 part vinegar to two parts warm water and let soak for 10



15 minutes. Periodically rotate the spinner nozzle to break up residue in the jets.

Rinse the jet inserts with a standard garden hose.

63

Removing, Installing and Cleaning Filters

These are the steps needed to properly replace the filters. Disposable swim spa and exercise pool filters should be replaced or non-disposable filters should be cleaned every four months.

1) Turn off all power to the swim spa and exercise pool and remove the filter lid by lifting it out towards you.

2) Turn the filter counterclockwise and remove it from the filter well.

3) Dispose of the used filter.

4) To replace, set screen back into its place and turn clockwise to fasten. DO NOT over-tighten.

5) Place the new filter into position and turn clockwise to fasten. DO NOT overtighten.

64

6) Use of a quality filter soak product is recommended. Please contact your dealer to purchase swim swim spa and exercise pool and exercise pool care products.

NOTE: Only use TidalFit

™ approved filters. Using a non TidalFit™ approved filter can cause issues with the circulation system and heater and can void warranty coverage. The filter can be upgraded to a 75 Sq. ft. filter. Please see your

TidalFit ™ dealer, Part # 06-007-12 (standard) or 06-008-12 (Nature2) option.

WARNING: Power to the swim spa and exercise pool must be turned off prior to removing the filters. The suction at the filter is extremely strong and can cause injury if there is no filter. NEVER run the swim spa and exercise pool without the filters properly installed. Injury to person and damage to the equipment can occur. Any damage to equipment due to this circumstance will not be covered under warranty.

65

Storing or Winterizing the Swim Spa and Exercise Pool

An emptied swim spa and exercise pool (without water) must not be exposed to direct sunlight as acrylic shell damage may occur to UV radiation. It is not recommended that the swim spa and exercise pool be drained completely during freezing conditions.

Leaving the swim spa and exercise pool full of water with the power on is recommended to keep the tub from freezing. If you decide to drain the swim spa and exercise pool during freezing conditions, contact your local authorized dealer for assistance.

Contact your TidalFit ™ dealer before refilling a drained swim spa and exercise pool in freezing temperatures.

WARNING: Damage to the swim spa and exercise pool caused by freezing is NOT covered under warranty. Please contact your local TidalFit ™ dealer to assist you in winterizing the swim spa and exercise pool.

Swim Spa and Exercise Pool Cabinet Care

The swim spa and exercise pool comes standard with a Grandwood, or faux wood, cabinet. This cabinet requires no maintenance. You may wish to clean the cabinet with mild soap and water from time to time.

Gently wash the cabinet with mild soap and water and allow to dry completely.

Do not apply any solid type finish such as shellac or varnish. After weathering, these types of finishes will crack and/or turn yellow.

Cleaning the Swim Spa and Exercise Pool Interior

It is important to clean the interior of the swim spa and exercise pool every time it is drained to help preserve the sheen of the swim spa and exercise pool ’s surface.

However, it is important that you do not use any abrasive cleaners or strong chemicals.

Your TidalFit

™ authorized dealer will be able to supply you with the proper cleaning solution the swim spa and exercise pool. After cleaning, make sure all residues are removed prior to filling the swim spa and exercise pool. This will help prevent sudsing and improper chemical balance.

Swim Spa and Exercise Pool Cover Use, Installation and Care

The swim spa and exercise pool cover has tie down straps and locking hardware at each corner to securely fasten the cover to the swim spa and exercise pool cabinet.

Proper cover lock installation instructions are included with the cover to ensure compliance with the ASTM F1346-91 safety standard for swim spa and exercise pool covers.

66

Never stand or sit on the cover while on or off of the swim spa and exercise pool and never drag it over abrasive surfaces. Lift cover only by the handles provided.

Dirt acts as an abrasive to the vinyl topcoat, and can also cause wear to folds, seams and stitching. Mildew growing on damp, dirty vinyl will begin to actually rot in the fabric, accelerating failure.

Follow this simple routine for cleaning, prior to application of vinyl.

1) Rinse with cool water using a garden hose.

2) Spray with a gentle, non-foaming cleaner and wipe clean. Never use laundry detergent, abrasives, alcohols, dish soaps or harsh cleaners. These can actually remove some of the topcoat and cause premature vinyl failure.

3) For stubborn dirt, use a non-abrasive sponge.

4) Rinse again thoroughly with water and allow to dry.

5) Repeat monthly, or as needed.

The vinyl cover is affected by the UV in sunlight. Periodic protection with a liquid protectant will extend the life of the swim spa and exercise pool cover. The wrong kind of protectant can be more harmful than no protectant at all. Keep any product away from the swim spa and exercise pool that is labeled “flammable,” that contains any type of oil, or that leaves a waxy coating on the cover.

Chemical Treatment of Water

Water from the tap is fine for showers, bathing and drinking. However, in a contained recirculating system such as in a swim spa and exercise pool, water must be treated with chemicals. The main purpose of chemical treatment is to keep the water sanitary and to maintain a specific pH balance of the water. Proper pH balance ensures that the water will not cause irritation to the users or harm the swim spa and exercise pool ’s components. Chemical treatment does have its limitations. When water evaporates, chemical residues are left behind.

As the levels of the residues combine with other types of residue, such as body oil and detergents, the water becomes increasingly difficult to maintain. Because of this residual effect, at some point it becomes easier and more cost effective to drain, clean and refill the swim spa and exercise pool with new water. We recommend that the water be changed at least every six months. At this time you should also clean or replace the filters. If the swim spa and exercise pool has a frequent and/or heavy bather load, it may be necessary to drain and fill the swim spa and exercise pool more often. Refer to the section titled “Draining the Swim Spa and Exercise Pool” for instructions on page 62. WARNING: Swim spa and exercise pool damage due to improper chemicals use is not covered under warranty.
