to hot tub components. Maintain water chemistry in accordance
with manufacturer’s instructions.
CAUTION:
Use the straps and clip tie downs to secure the
cover when not in use. This will help to discourage unsupervised
children from entering the hot tub and keep the hot tub cover
secure in high-wind conditions. There is no representation that
the cover, clip tie-downs, or actual locks will prevent access to
the hot tub.
CAUTION:
For exercise, the water should not exceed 90 °F
(32 °C).
CAUTION:
When using this electrical equipment, basic safe-
ty precautions should always be followed.
PREPARATION AND SET-UP FOR YOUR NEW SPA
LOCATION FOR YOUR NEW SPA:
You want to keep in mind how you intend to use the spa and
plan the location accordingly.
How close is the spa from the exit or entrance to your house?
(consider the cold weather)
Is the path to your spa clean of debris, sand, grass? (so as
not to track into the spa)
Is there protection from wind, inclement weather?
Can neighbors or passersby see the spa?
NOTE: Allow for service access:
Many spa owners enjoy plac-
ing their spa in a decorative enclosure or a deck. Keep in mind
that you need to have access to the equipment for maintenance
and the spa should be able to be moved or lifted without de-
stroying the special enclosure or its surroundings. You should
discuss this with your dealer when designing the location. Exten-
sion cords are not to be used in conjunction with the operations
of the spa. Low voltage damage could result and this is not cov-
ered by warranty.
NOTE:
All components must be 120V; No
240V components allowable.
240VAC:
Depending on the model of spa, it will require ei-
ther a 40 Amp, 50 Amp, or 60 Amp dedicated circuit breaker,
GFCI, with the proper wire size based on the length of the run.
The electrical circuit must be installed by a certified electrician
and approved by a local building or electrical inspector.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
All self contained spas use 120VAC or 240VAC electrical spa
packs.. These instructions describe the only acceptable electri-
cal wiring procedures. Spas wired in any other way will void your
warranty and may result in serious injury. All installations should
be completed by a certified electrician. Failure to comply with
state and local codes may result in fire or personal injury and will
be the sole responsibility of the spa owner.
120VAC:
This requires an isolated 15 Amp circuit breaker.
This needs to be an isolated circuit with no other appliances or
lights on this circuit at any time. Extension cords are not to be

used in conjunction with the operations of the spa. Low voltage
damage could result and this is not covered by warranty.
NOTE:
All components must be 120V; No 240V components allowable.
240VAC:
Depending on the model of spa, it will require ei-
ther a 40 Amp, 50 Amp, or 60 Amp dedicated circuit breaker,
GFCI, with the proper wire size based on the length of the run.
The electrical circuit must be installed by a certified electrician
and approved by a local building or electrical inspector.
SURFACE AND PAD REQUIREMENTS
Your new portable spa must be placed on a firm, flat and level
surface, so the spa weight is supported uniformly. We recom-
mend no less than a 3” (93 mm) thick concrete slab. Wood deck-
ing or balconies must be constructed to support 150 pounds per
square foot (730 kg/m²). Refer to local and current building codes
in your area. Consult an engineer for live loads in your area.
Should your new spa need to go through a gate, the opening
should be a minimum of 48 inches and up to 8.5’ overhead clear-
ance depending on the size of
the unit.
NOTE:
Damage caused by
alternate decking methods may
avoid the spa warranty. Contact
your local dealer if you have any
questions regarding spa location
or placement.
DRAINING AND WINTERIZING
DRAINING YOUR SPA
After a period of 3-4 months, detergent residues from bathing
suits and soap film will build up in your spa water. Once this hap-
pens, your spa water will appear cloudy and should probably be
replaced.
Turn power OFF at the breaker.
Locate the drain valve (usually in the equipment area).
Remove the safety cap and attach garden hose.
Drain water to a convenient area. (Spa water may harm grass
or plants if sanitizer levels are high.)
When water begins to flow out of the hose, open the air relief
valve located on filter lid (Hydro-Cyclonic Filtration) or Air
Bleeder Valve (Skim Filtration)
Your spa will drain except for a small portion left in the foot
well. This can be removed with a sponge and pail.
Once empty, clean as required.
To finish, remove garden hose and attach safety cap.
IMPORTANT (Cascade Series Only):
There will be an addi-
tional drain valve. This is connected directly to the tank reservoir
and you will see the water level go down on the sight tube in the
equipment area.
