BASIC INSTALLATION INFORMATION 

Your new portable spa must be placed on a uniformly firm, flat, and level surface. 

A concrete pad 100mm thick is recommended. Your spa may need to be fenced 

with the fencing meeting relevant building and council standards. Gates must be 
self-closing and self-latching. If your spa is located near sprinklers, adjust or cap 

them so as not to hit the siding of the spa. 

If the spa is to be installed on a deck, the decking must be constructed to building 

standards and should be capable of supporting the expected load of the spa 

when filled. If decking is to be constructed around the sides of the spa the owner 
must remember to make provision and access for the side panels of the spa 

cabinet to be removed in case of the need for future servicing. 

Initial start up procedure 

1. 10 & 15 amp spas are supplied with a power cord but must be connected

to a weatherproof 10-1 SA outlet. 32 amp  60 amp spas must be hardwired

directly to your house supply. All electrical connections must be performed by

a licensed electrician and must confirm to all national, state and local electrical

codes in effect at time of install.

2. DO NOT turn power ON to the spa until it is filled with water.

3. Remove the cabinet door panel on the electronic keypad side of the spa and

check that the pump(s) and heater barrel unions are tightened (NOTE: It is

possible for these connections to become loose during transportation).

Also check that all T-handled gate vales are pulled UP in the open position.

4. Ensure that the external drain valve is firmly tightened and the jets are in the

open position.

5.

Remove the filters from the spa and fill the spa using a garden hose by

inserting the hose down into the filter pipe. This will flood the pipe work

during filling to help prevent air locks. If you have 2 x filters, alternate the

hose into each filter for the first 5 minutes.

6. Spas should be filled until the water level is at least 50mm above the

skimmer (a water fill level is marked on the side of the filter area).

Maximum water depth in any part of the spa should not exceed 1100mm.

Maximum water depth in any seat should not exceed 600mm.

7. Once spa has been filled with water to the correct level, plug the power cord

into the power point and switch the power ON. If the spa is hardwired, switch

the spa ON at the isolation switch.

8.

The filtration pump will start immediately after the power is turned on.

ENSURE THAT YOU SEE WATER CIRCULATING. 

If water is not visibly moving,

switch the spa OFF, wait 30 seconds and try again, if you still do not have

water flowing, turn the power off and refer to the troubleshooting section at

the back of this manual for fixing an air lock.

9.

Once you have the water circulating, adjust the water temperature to the

desired level and set the time (please refer to separate instructions provided
for the control panel).

10. 

Add and adjust your chemicals to the spa water following the chemical start

up procedure supplied to you by your spa dealer.

11. 

Ensure that the hard cover is placed on the spa & locked as this will greatly

reduce heat up time.
