Initial Start-Up Guide -  

Getting your Spa Pool  

Set Up for First Use

We water test every single spa at our factory, so some water residue from this testing may 
remain in the pipework. It is important that you sanitise the swim spa prior to filling it for use. 

We’ve included a Step-by-Step Guide to getting your pool ready for use for the first time below! 

Step 1

  Ensure your swim spa has been hard 

wired by a registered electrician. 

Step 2

  We recommend your heat pump has 

been plumbed and connected prior to 
filling with water.

Step 3

  Fit your cover shelf and cover(s) onto 

your swim spa (this will not fit once 
the spa is full).

Step 4

  Make sure the power to your new 

Galaxy Spa pool is turned off. 
Fill your swim spa with a garden 
hose or water truck (for faster fill 
time). Remove one of the filters and 
insert the hose into the filter box 
(this will help to prevent air locks in 
the plumbing). 

Step 5

  Fill the swim spa to the recommended 

fill line, indicated on the inside of your 
new swim spa. Place the filter back 
into the filter basket. 

Step 6

  Once full, turn on power to the 

swim spa. A ‘priming cycle’ will 
automatically run, testing the 
components and preparing to heat.

Step 7

  Once your swim spa reaches 27 

degrees, add the recommended 
chemicals to the water using 
instructions found in the Galaxy 
Water Start-Up Kit (if using) or 
follow the instructions for your 
choice of water care product. 

Step 8 

Allow pumps to run for a few 
minutes with the cover off so the 
chemicals can mix. 

Step 9

  4 - 6 hours after you’ve added your 

chemicals, test your water - use the 
testing strips supplied in the kit to 
analyse your water.

You may need to adjust your 
chemicals depending on the results.

Step 10

  Set it to your preferred temperature. 

We recommend 32 degrees in the 
swim zone and 38 degrees in the 
spa zone. 

Step 11

  Replace cover and allow to heat 

(12+ hours). 

Step 12

  Enjoy your new Galaxy swim spa!
