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

10. Never insert any object into any opening.

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

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

2. Use the hydrotherapy spa only as described
in this manual.

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

3. The hydrotherapy spa is intended for home
use only. Do not use the spa in a commercial,
rental, or institutional setting.

13. Remove any water or debris that may collect
on the spa cover.

14. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets
away from the hydrotherapy spa when it is
not in use.

4. Use the hydrotherapy spa only on a level surface. Do not use the spa on carpet or other
materials that could be damaged by moisture.

15. Keep all chemicals away from children and
pets.

5. The hydrotherapy spa will weigh approximately 2,900 pounds when it is filled with
water. Make sure that the location you select
for the spa will support this weight, plus the
weight of the occupants.

16. The pH and chemical balance of the water
must be maintained as explained in this manual (see pages 10 and 14). Failure to do so
may cause injury to users or damage to the
hydrotherapy spa, and will void the warranty.

6. Inspect and tighten all parts regularly.
Replace any worn parts immediately.

17. Individuals with infections and open sores or
wounds should not use the hydrotherapy
spa. Bacteria thrive in warm and hot water.
Always keep your spa disinfected and maintain the proper chemical balance.

7. DANGER—Risk 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
you use only manufacturer recommended
replacement parts. 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.

18. Shower before and after using the hydrotherapy spa. This will remove any deodorant, perspiration, or body oils that could contaminate
the water. Showering after will remove any
residual chemicals and any bacteria that may
have been in the spa.

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 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 the warranty.

19. WARNING—The Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI), must be tested before
each use. To test the GFCI, press the “test”
button while the hydrotherapy spa is running.
The spa should shut off. Press the “reset”
button. The spa should resume normal operation. If the spa continues to run after the
“test” button is pressed, then the GFCI is
damaged. Do not use the spa until the GFCI
has been repaired or replaced by a qualified
electrician.

9. Do not bring any object into the hydrotherapy
spa that could damage the spa shell.

Choosing a Location for the Hydrotherapy Spa

There are many factors to consider when choosing a location to set up the hydrotherapy spa. These factors vary
depending on whether you plan to use the spa inside or outside. We have listed several factors you may wish to
consider as you decide where to set up the spa.
If you set up the hydrotherapy spa inside:

If you set up the hydrotherapy spa outside:

1. The spa will increase the level of humidity in your
home. The location you choose should be well
ventilated. You may need to install a ventilation fan
or use a dehumidifier.

1. Check local building codes concerning the use of
outdoor spas.

2. The spa should be located near a 240-volt power
source. It must be wired directly into a grounded
circuit with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) capable of carrying 30 amps. No other
appliance should be on the same circuit.

3. The spa should be close to a source of water.

4. We recommend that you place the spa on a waterand stain-resistant, non-slip surface. Do not use
the spa on rough or sharp surfaces such as gravel
or wood chips.

4. Do not use the spa on carpet or other material that
may be damaged by moisture. We recommend
that you place the spa on a water- and stain-resistant, non-slip surface with a floor drain for any
water that may splash from the spa.

5. Be sure that the location you choose is stable. It
must be able to support the weight of the spa
when it is filled with water, plus the weight of the
occupants. The spa weighs approximately 2,900
pounds when it is filled with water.

6. Consider environmental factors such as rain, wind,
shade, sunlight, and so forth.

6. Do not use the spa above a finished living area,
due to the risk of water damage.

7. You should be able to monitor the use of the spa
from your home, to prevent unauthorized use by
children. You may want to enclose the spa with a
fence and self-latching gate to prevent unauthorized use.

7. Be sure that there is room around the spa to permit servicing of the unit. The dimensions of the spa
are 84” W x 84” L x 36” H. You should allow for this
size when choosing the location.

8. Be sure that there is room around the spa to permit servicing of the unit. The dimensions of the spa
are 84” W x 84” L x 36” H. You should allow for this

Using the Hydrotherapy Spa

The hydrotherapy spa is designed to seat six adults.
The spa holds 300 gallons of water and offers a heating system (80°F to 104°F), a filtration system, and
adjustable hydrotherapy jets. Follow the guidelines
below to use and maintain the spa for your long-term
enjoyment.
WIRING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA

CONTROLS on page 12). Once the spa is running,
press the GFCI “test” button. The spa should shut off.
Press the “reset” button. The spa should resume normal operation. If the spa continues to run after the
“test” button is pressed, the GFCI is damaged. Do not

replaced by a qualified electrician.

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
CONTROLS 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 THE SPA
below). The water will heat at about 6°F per hour with
the cover on. If you are using the spa indoors, and
the room temperature is maintained at 70°F, it will
take approximately 6 to 8 hours for the water to reach
the set temperature.

The hydrotherapy spa is designed to operate with a
240-volt power source. It must be wired directly into a
grounded circuit with a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) capable of carrying 30 amps. No
other appliance should be on the same circuit.
Connection of the spa to the 240-volt power
source must be performed by a qualified, licensed
electrician and must comply with all local, state,
and federal electrical codes. Please refer to the
instructions on the inside of the electronics package
for information about connecting the spa to a 240-volt
power source.

The temperature and the water flow can be set or
changed with the controls on the console (see USING
THE CONTROLS on page 12).

Once the spa is filled with water, the power can be
turned on. Note: The first time the power is turned on,
the spa will start automatically.

SECURING THE SPA COVER ON THE SPA

TESTING AND TREATING THE WATER

To secure the spa cover,
snap the latches on the spa
cover into the buckles on the

6. Insert the cleaned or new filter cartridge and basket into the filter housing.
7. Re-attach the filter cover.

Monthly
• Clean the spa cover (see MAINTAINING THE SPA
COVER on this page).
• Soak the filter for two hours in a trisodium phosphate (TSP) solution. Rinse the filter in clean water.
• Replace the filter if needed (see ORDERING
REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover).

Every Three Months
• Drain the spa and refill it 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.

WATER CHEMISTRY

The maintenance of the pH level is very important to
the operation of the spa. To maintain the proper pH
level and to sanitize the spa, you can purchase a
chemical starter kit from your local pool and spa supply store.

MAINTAINING THE SPA EXTERIOR

The surround is maintenance-free. The surround
should be cleaned with a mild soap solution; do not
use solvents or waxes.

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
chemicals—follow the directions on the label
closely.
4. Keep all chemicals out of the reach of children
and pets.

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.

MAINTAINING THE SPA COVER

The spa cover should be cleaned monthly. To clean
the spa cover, use water and a non-abrasive cleaner
on the entire cover. Rinse the cover with a garden

5. Keep containers closed tightly when not in use.
6. Never add water to the chemicals—always add
the chemicals to the water as directed.
7. Always store chemicals in a cool, dry place.

REMOVING AND ATTACHING THE ACCESS PANEL

To locate the access panels, refer to the drawing on
page 6. Turn off the power to the spa. To remove an
access panel, first remove the four indicated screws.
Slide the access panel down and then pull the bottom
of it away from the spa. Note: Be careful not to
damage the spa shell as you remove the access
panel.

MAINTAINING THE PROPER PH BALANCE

The pH factor is a measure of the relative acidity or
alkalinity in the water, and 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, test the pH of the
water regularly. To test the water, 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.

To re-attach the access panel, insert the top of the
access panel under the edge of the spa shell. Slide
the access panel up until the bottom of the access
panel clears the trim along the bottom of the spa.
Then, slide the access panel into place and re-attach
it with the four screws.

The most common sanitizing agent is a solid bromine
concentrate. The amount required varies according to
several factors, such as user load, temperature, and
water conditions. Proper water maintenance is a complex process. Contact your local pool and spa supplier
for information concerning which chemicals you
should use in your area to sanitize the spa.

The hydrotherapy spa should be drained at least four
times per 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.

DRAINING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA

SANITIZING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA

CHANGING THE FILTER CYCLE

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.

The spa will filter the water every 12 hours. The duration of the cycle can be adjusted to last 2 to 5 hours.
Press the temperature up or temperature down button
on the console. When the display begins to flash,
press the pump button. The display will read F2. To
change the time, press the temp up button until the
desired time is reached. Press the pump button to
confirm the selection. As spa usage increases, the
duration of the filter cycle may need to be increased.

To drain the hydrotherapy spa, follow the steps below:

1. Using the console, adjust the temperature to the
lowest setting.
2. Shut off the power to the spa, at the circuit breaker
or GFCI.
3. Remove the pump access panel from the spa.
4. Pull the hose out and hold it above the waterline.
Remove the cap and attach a garden hose to the
drain hose. Lower the hose and drain the spa.

Hose

5. When the spa is empty, close the valve and
remove the garden hose. Re-attach the cap and
return the drain hose inside the spa.
6. Re-attach the access panel.
7. Refill the spa and treat the water with chemicals
(see pages 10 and 14).
DRAINING THE PUMP

After the hydrotherapy spa is drained, the jet pump
should also be drained if the spa will be stored for
more than thirty days or if it may be exposed to freezing temperatures.

Turn off the power to
the spa. To drain the jet
pump, remove the
access panel from the
spa unit (see ATTACHING AND REMOVING
THE ACCESS PANEL
on page 14). Locate
the jet pump inside the
spa. Loosen the indicated collar on the
pump.

WINTER USE AND CARE

The hydrotherapy spa is designed for year-round use.
If you decide to store the spa for the winter, store it in
a warm, dry location. Follow the steps below to winterize the spa.
1. Make sure the power to the spa is turned off.
2. Drain the spa (see DRAINING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA on the previous page and this page).
3. Remove all remaining water from the spa shell. Dry
the spa shell with towels.
4. Set the air control 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 jet.
5. Set the air control on the console to the highest
setting and repeat step 3.
6. Drain the pump (see DRAINING THE PUMP on
this page). Once the water is 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,
remove the pump/motor from the spa and store
it in a climate-controlled room.
7. Clean the spa shell (see page 13).
8. Clean the filter (see page 13).
9. Shut the power off at the breaker. Label the
breaker in such a way that the breaker will not
be turned on accidentally.
10. Re-attach the access panel and the spa cover.

REPLACING THE LIGHT BULB

If the underwater light burns out, you will need to
remove the pump access panel to replace it (see
ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE ACCESS PANEL
on page 14). Make sure the spa power is turned off.
Next, locate the light housing. Turn the light housing
counterclockwise and remove it from the spa shell.
