Important Safety Instructions

WARNING: To reduce the risk of drowning, electric shock, or serious injury, read the following important precautions before using the hydrotherapy spa.

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS

1.

It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that all users of the hydrotherapy spa are adequately informed of all precautions.

2.

Use the hydrotherapy spa only as described in this manual.

3.

The hydrotherapy spa is intended for home use only. Do not use this product in any commercial, rental or institutional setting.

4.

Use the hydrotherapy spa only on a level surface. Do not use the hydrotherapy spa on carpet or other materials that could be damaged by moisture. Do not use the hydrotherapy spa on rough or sharp surfaces such as gravel or wood chips.

5.

The hydrotherapy spa will weigh approximately 1800 pounds when it is filled with water. Make sure the location you select for the hydrotherapy spa will support this weight, plus the weight of the occupants.

6. Inspect and tighten all parts regularly.

Replace any worn parts immediately.

7.

DANGERÑRisk of injury: Do not remove or alter the covers on the suction fittings. Never operate the hydrotherapy spa if the suction guard is missing or broken. If you need to replace a suction fitting or pump, make sure the flow rate of the replacement is compatible. Keep hair and body parts away from the suction guard. Do not allow long hair to float freely in the water; long hair should be restrained with a bathing cap.

8.

IMPORTANT: Do not allow the hydrotherapy spa to be exposed to direct sunlight when it is empty. The surface of the spa shell can reach temperatures as high as 150ûF in a matter of minutes if exposed to the sun while it is empty. These high temperatures can cause significant damage, such as blistering of the shell surface and warping of the spa shell. Any damage caused by sun exposure is not covered under the warranty.

10. Never insert any object into any opening.

11. Do not use breakable containers in or near the hydrotherapy spa.

12. Do not sit on the spa cover or place objects on it. It is not designed to support weight.

Using the Hydrotherapy Spa

The hydrotherapy spa is designed to seat four adults.

The eight jets provide a relaxing massage to sooth away stress, and the strength of the water massage can be adjusted by the air control. The hydrotherapy spa holds 200 gallons of water and offers a heating system (70¡F to 104¡F) and a filtration system.

The guidelines below explain how to properly use the hydrotherapy spa. Follow these guidelines to maintain the hydrotherapy spa for your long-term enjoyment.

PLUGGING IN THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA

Once the hydrotherapy spa is filled with water, the power cord can be plugged in and the spa can be turned on. Note: The first time the power cord is plugged in, the spa will turn on automatically.

When connecting the power cord, plug the power cord directly into a grounded circuit capable of carrying 15 or more amps. No other appliance should be on the same circuit. Replace the power cord immediately if it becomes damaged.

The power cord is equipped with a Ground Fault

Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), located at the end of the power cord. You should always test the GFCI before using the hydrotherapy spa.

Test and Reset

Buttons

GFCI

First, turn on the hydrotherapy spa by pressing the

On/Off Switch on the console. Once the unit is running, press the GFCI ÒtestÓ button. The hydrotherapy spa should shut off. Press the ÒresetÓ button. The hydrotherapy spa should resume normal operation. If the hydrotherapy spa continues to run after the ÒtestÓ button is pressed, then the GFCI is damaged. Do not use the hydrotherapy spa until the GFCI has been repaired or replaced by a qualified electrician.

TESTING AND TREATING THE WATER

The hydrotherapy spa comes with a starter chemical pack for maintaining the water in the spa. Disregard the directions on the individual packages of ÒQUICK pHix It DOWNÓ and ÒQUICK pHix It UP.Ó However, the directions on the bottle of ÒNon-chlorine ShoxÓ and

ÒBromine BaseÓ are correct. Always keep the chemi-

cals away from children and pets.

The first time you use the spa, you should test and treat the water. You must also treat the water each

time you refill the spa. Once you have verified that the spa is functioning properly, and have allowed the water to circulate for a while, you should remove the spa cover and add 1/3 of the ÒBromine BaseÓ bottle, and 1/3 of the ÒNon-chlorine ShoxÓ bottle to the water in the spa. Allow the water to circulate for five minutes. You should now test the pH level of the water by using the included test strips. Refer to the test strip packaging for instructions on using the test strips. The pH reading should be between 7.2 and 7.8.

If the level is too low, add half of one of the ÒQUICK pHix It UPÓ packets to the water. Let the water circulate through the spa for five minutes. Test the pH level again. Repeat until the pH level is correct.

If the level is too high, add half of one of the ÒQUICK pHix It DOWNÓ packets to the water. Let the water circulate through the spa for five minutes. Test the pH level again. Repeat until the pH level is correct.

See WATER CHEMISTRY on page 14 for information concerning proper water maintenance.

STARTING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA

Once you have tested the GFCI, you should verify the water flow from the pumping unit. Set the air control on the console to the lowest setting (see USING THE

CONSOLE on page 12). The pumping unit will heat the water as it pumps. Cover the hydrotherapy spa with the spa cover. The spa cover must be tight

(see SECURING THE SPA COVER on page 11). The water will heat at about 1.8¡F an hour with the cover on. If you are using the hydrotherapy spa indoors, and the room temperature is maintained at 70¡F, it will take approximately 18 to 22 hours for the water to reach the set temperature.

The temperature and water flow can be set or changed by the controls on the console (see USING

THE CONSOLE on page 12).

SPA OPERATION

Refer to the diagram above. The function of each component is explained below.

The suction vents (A) located near the floor of the spa bring the water into the pump in order to operate the system. The suction covers should always be in place over the suction vents. Never operate the spa

without the suction covers in place.

The filter (B) can be removed for replacement and cleaning (see CHECKING AND CLEANING THE FIL-

TER on page 13).

The temperature probe (C) reads the current water temperature.

Use of the console (D) is explained on page 12 of this manual.

The hydrotherapy spa offers an automatic freeze protection. If the water temperature falls below 40ûF, the pump will begin circulating the water to prevent the water from freezing.

Air Control

USING THE CONSOLE

Refer to the console diagram above. The function of each console control is explained below:

Air Control: Determines the amount of air that is in the spa jet system during operation. If the control is turned to the left, the amount of air flowing through the jets will increase. If the control is turned to the right, the amount will decrease.

On/Off Button: Turns the spa on and off. When you first press the on/off button, the spa jet unit will run at low speed, providing gentle hydrotherapy. Press the button again and the spa will run at high speed, providing more intense hydrotherapy. Press the button a third time, and the spa will shut off.

The spa also features an automatic mode which heats and filters the water when the spa is left unattended.

When the spa is first plugged in, or if the buttons on the console have not been used for longer than twenty minutes, the automatic mode will begin filtering or heating the water, as needed. Note: To keep the fil-

ter and heat cycles from running, the power cord must be unplugged.

Thermostat: Controls the temperature of the water.

The water heats at about 1.8¡F an hour with the cover on. The thermostat can be set to heat the water from

70¡F to 104¡F. You should use a medical or other accurate thermometer to check the temperature of the water.

Please refer to your local pool and spa supplier for information concerning which chemicals you should use in your area to sanitize the spa.

The most common sanitizing agent is a solid bromine concentrate. The amount required varies according to several factors, such as user load, temperature, water conditions etc.

Proper water maintenance is a fairly complex process.

We recommend that you contact your local pool and spa supplier for information on how you should best accomplish this.

CHECKING AND CLEANING THE FILTER

EVERY THREE MONTHS

¥ Drain the spa and refill with clean water. Sanitize and test the pH of the water.

¥ Check for any leaks around the pump or joints in the pipes. The seals will wear out over time; detecting leaks early can reduce repair costs.

¥ Clean the interior of the spa. Do not use solvents or waxes.

EVERY SIX MONTHS

¥ Treat the exterior with a wood sealant (see MAIN-

TAINING THE SPA EXTERIOR below).

MAINTAINING THE SPA EXTERIOR

The wood panel exterior has been treated with a sealant at the factory to protect the wood from water damage. We suggest that you treat the wood finish twice a year with an additional coat of weather sealant. Contact your local spa and pool supplier for advice on which sealants work best in your climate.

CLEANING THE SPA SHELL

The spa shell should be cleaned with a mild soap solution. Do not use solvents. The spa should always be clean and dry before being moved or stored.

The filter should be checked periodically for build-up of dirt and oil. If the filter needs to be cleaned, follow the steps below:

Screws

1. Turn off the power.

2. Remove the two screws from the filter cover. Be

careful not to strip the threads from the holes.

Housing rinse the filter with a hose. If the filter is still dirty, you will need to soak it in a cleaning solution which can be obtained from a pool and spa supply store.

5. Inspect the filter for damage. Replace the filter if there are any signs of damage.

6. Re-insert the cleaned filter into the filter housing.

7. Re-attach the filter cover with the screws. Do not

overtighten the screws.

WATER CHEMISTRY

The hydrotherapy spa comes with a starter chemical pack for maintaining the water in the spa. (See TEST-

ING AND TREATING THE WATER on page 10.)

Additional chemicals can be purchased at a pool and spa supply store.

CAUTION: The chemicals used to maintain the pH balance of the water and to sanitize the water can be dangerous. Always follow these basic guidelines when handling the chemicals:

1. Always read and follow the directions on the label, unless directed otherwise.

2. Never mix different chemicals.

3. Do not exceed the recommended amounts of chemicalsÑfollow the directions on the label closely.

4. Keep all chemicals out of the reach of children and pets.

5. Keep all containers closed tightly when not in use.

6. Never add water to the chemicalsÑalways add the chemicals to the water as directed.

7. Always store chemicals in a cool, dry place.

MAINTAINING THE PROPER PH BALANCE

The pH factor is a measure of relative acidity or alkalinity in the water. It is measured on a scale of 1 to 14.

Pure water has a value of 7, which is neutral. Any value above 7 is alkaline, and any value below 7 is acidic. You should maintain a slightly alkaline pH level, between 7.2 and 7.8, in the hydrotherapy spa.

Severe problems can occur when the pH balance is not maintained within this range. If the pH level exceeds 7.8, dissolved minerals can build-up and clog the plumbing in the spa jet unit. If the pH level falls below 7.2, the acid level in the water will begin to corrode the metal parts in the spa jet unit. Also, the sanitation agents in the water will not be effective if the pH level is not properly maintained. Damage caused by improper pH levels is not covered under the warranty.

To maintain the proper pH level, you should test the pH of the water regularly. To test the water, you can either purchase additional test strips or purchase a pH test kit at a pool and spa supply store. The pH reading should be between 7.2 and 7.8. If the level is too low, add a pH increaser (usually soda ash). If the level is too high, add a pH reducer (usually sodium bisulfate). Test the water again after five minutes. See the instructions with your pH test kit for additional information about testing and adjusting the pH.

ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE ACCESS

COVER

To remove the access cover, remove the four access cover screws from the access cover. Slide the access cover down and pull the bottom of the access cover away from the spa unit. Be careful not to damage

the spa shell as you remove the cover.

To replace the access cover, insert the top of the cover under the edge of the spa shell. Slide the cover up until the bottom of the cover will clear the trim along the bottom of the spa unit. Slide the cover into place and re-attach the four cover screws.

DRAINING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA

The hydrotherapy spa should be drained at least four times a year and refilled with clean water. You may need to drain the spa more often, depending on the user load. This must be done, because after repeated chemical treatment, the water becomes chemically saturated. Once this happens, additional chemical treatment of the water is no longer effective. The spa should also be drained if you will not be using it for long periods of time. The spa must always be drained before major repairs are made.

The hydrotherapy spa should always be covered when it is empty. Direct sunlight can cause extensive damage. The surface of the spa shell can reach temperatures as high as 150¡F in a matter of minutes if exposed to the sun while it is empty.

These high temperatures can cause significant damage, such as blistering of the shell surface and warping of the spa shell. Any damage caused by sun exposure is not covered under warranty.

To drain the hydrotherapy spa, follow these steps:

1. Set the temperature control on the console to the lowest setting.

2. Shut off the circuit breaker or GFCI.

3. Remove the access cover from the back of the

spa unit.

4. Remove the drainage hose from the spa and attach a garden hose to the valve on the drainage hose.

5. Open the valve by turning the knob counterclockwise. The water will begin to drain.

6. When the spa is empty, close the valve and remove the garden hose. Return the drainage hose to the clip and replace the access cover.

7. Refill the spa and treat the water with chemicals

(see pages 10 and 14).

DRAINING THE PUMP

After the hydrotherapy spa is drained (see

DRAINING THE

HYDROTHERAPY SPA on page 14), the pump should also be drained if the hydro-therapy spa will be stored for more than thirty days, or if it may be exposed to freezing temperatures.

Drain Plug

Pump

To drain the pump, remove the access cover from the spa unit (see ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE

ACCESS COVER on page 14). Locate the pump inside the spa unit. Remove the drain plug from the pump and allow all water to drain from the pump.

Replace the drain plug.

WINTER USE AND CARE

The hydrotherapy spa is designed for year-round use.

If you decide to store the hydrotherapy spa for the winter, store it in a warm, dry location. Follow the steps below to winterize the hydrotherapy spa.

1. Drain the spa (see DRAINING THE

HYDROTHERAPY SPA on the previous page and this page).

2. Remove all remaining water from the spa shell.

Dry the spa shell with towels.

3. Set the air control on the console to the lowest setting. Use a wet/dry vacuum to pull any remaining water from the system. To do this, place the vacuum nozzle over each jet, starting with the highest jet and finishing with the lowest one.

4. Set the air control on the console to the highest setting and repeat step 3.

5. Drain the pump (see DRAINING THE PUMP on this page). Once the water has drained from the pump, place the vacuum nozzle over the drainage hole in the pump and vacuum any additional water from the pump. Note: For additional protection

you can remove the pump/motor from the spa to store it in a climate-controlled room.

6. Clean the spa shell (see page 13).

7. Clean the filter (see page 13).

8. A qualified electrician should disconnect the power cord from the 240 volt power source, if so wired.

9. Re-attach the access cover and re-attach the spa cover.

a. The pump may be jammed. Contact our customer service department. If your spa is no longer under warranty, contact a local spa and pool service provider.

5.

SYMPTOM: THE PUMP IS NOISY

WHILE OPERATING

a. There may be debris in the pump. Contact our customer service department.

b. The pump may have a bad bearing. Contact our customer service department.

6.

SYMPTOM: THE WATER DOES NOT HEAT

a. Make sure that the hydrotherapy spa is fully covered with the spa cover. The spa cover

must be tight for the water to heat. Set the air control to low. The water will heat at a rate of 1.8¡F an hour. If you are using the spa indoors, and the room temperature is maintained at 70¡F, it will take approximately 24 to

36 hours for the water to reach the set temperature.

b. If you are using the hydrotherapy spa outdoors, it may take longer for the water to heat. See the chart below for the approximate heating time.

Air Temperature

70¡F +

50¡FÐ70¡F

30¡FÐ50¡F

Heating Time

24 to 36 hours

2 to 3 days

3 to 4 days b. If the water still has not heated after four days, contact our customer service department.

7.

SYMPTOM: THE WATER IS NOT BEING

CLEANED BY THE FILTER

a. Check to see if the filter is in place. Clean the filter if it is dirty. b. Check the chemical balance of the water. If the pH is incorrect, the sanitizing agents will not function properly.

8.

SYMPTOM: THE WATER PULSATES OR

THERE IS MINIMUM WATER FLOW

a. Adjust the water level. This usually occurs only when the water level is low. Add water until the jets are covered (see step 3 on page 9).

9 SYMPTOM: THE WATER LEVEL DROPS

a. Some water loss due to evaporation is normal.

If rapid water loss occurs, or if you notice wetness on the floor around the hydrotherapy spa, then the spa shell may have a leak. Contact your local pool and spa service provider for repairs. b. A clamp or seal inside the pump compartment may be loose. Check inside the pump compartment for excess water and watch the pump unit while it is operating to see if water drips from any of the plumbing. If you can identify the location of the leak inside the spa jet unit, tighten the clamp or replace the damaged seal.
