10. Recheck the Total Alkalinity (TA) at 125 ppm, Calcium Hardness (CH) at 150 ppm, then spa water pH at between 7.4 and 7.6.

Operational Note:

Make sure you adjust your Total Alkalinity first, as an out-of-balance condition will affect your ability to adjust the pH

correctly, and will prevent the sanitizer from operating effectively. 

The spa is ready for use when the spa water has circulated through

each SmartJet

®

lever operating position and the chlorine level remains between 3 ppm and 5 ppm.

11. The spa temperature is pre-programmed to reach 102°F, and will normally do so within 18 to 24 hours. You may raise the water temperature

by pressing the TEMP (+) button on the control panel, or lower it by pressing TEMP (-) button. After a few hours, the water temperature will
remain within 1-1/2 degrees of your selected temperature. To prevent tampering, you can lock your desired temperature setting. Refer to the
Control Panel section for details.

NOTE: 

Allowing the jet pump to operate for long uninterrupted periods of time with the cover in place will cause a rise in the spa water

temperature. All spas are equipped with a safety device to reduce the risk of component damage or personal injury, should the jet pump be
left running continuously for a long period of time. After two hours of continuous operation, the jet pump controller will automatically turn off
the jet pump.

SMARTJET

®

SYSTEM

With your Hot Spring

®

spa’s exclusive SmartJet

®

system, you can control the massaging action of

your spa. Using the SmartJet

® 

lever, the jets are activated in sets, known as jet systems.

On the Vanguard

, Grandee

®

, Landmark

®

, Sovereign

®

Limited Edition, and Jetsetter

®

, each

SmartJet

®

lever controls two jet systems. To access a jet system, simply turn the SmartJet

®

lever to the 3 o’clock or 9 o’clock position. On the Sovereign

®

and Prodigy

®

, the single

SmartJet

®

lever has four positions to access the four jet systems. The jet systems are selected by

turning the SmartJet

®

lever to the 3, 6, 9 or 12 o’clock position (facing the spa). Please consult the jet

system menus on the following pages to determine which jets are activated with each SmartJet

®

lever

position. Or just jump in and play – turn the lever(s) and see what happens. 

COMFORT CONTROL

®

SYSTEM

The Comfort Control

®

system allows you to control the intensity of the massage at each jet by

adjusting the mixture of air and water. Jets with an adjustable faceplate are controlled by
turning the faceplate clockwise for a stronger flow, counterclockwise for a softer flow. Jets
without an adjustable faceplate are controlled by a Comfort Control

®

lever. The Precision

®

jets are controlled by dark teal, forest green or blue Comfort Control

®

levers. The Moto-

Massage

®

jet is controlled by seafoam green or light grey Comfort Control

®

levers. The

JetStream

®

jet is controlled by a steel blue or dark grey lever. The DreamJet

®

Comfort

Control

®

lever is controlled by a dark teal, forest green or blue Comfort Control

®

lever.

NOTE: 

The intensity of the JetStream

®

jets in the footwell can not be altered.

Turn the Comfort Control

®

lever clockwise to increase the intensity of the jet and counterclockwise to decrease the intensity.

JETS

MOTO-MASSAGE

®

JET 

(Not available on Prodigy

®

)

The Moto-Massage

®

jet automatically travels up and down in a sweeping motion, simulating the natural stroking effects of a manual massage. The

intensity and speed of the Moto-Massage

®

jet may be adjusted by turning the Comfort Control

®

lever with the seafoam green or light grey dot.

The Moto-Massage

®

jet has been factory adjusted to provide maximum hydromassage, and to achieve full vertical travel with its Comfort Control

®

lever in the full air volume position. Should the Moto-Massage

®

jet not achieve full vertical travel and the problem is not a closed air control valve

or clogged filter cartridge, then your Hot Spring Service Center should be contacted.

SERVICE NOTE:

A slow or non-moving Moto-Massage

®

jet may indicate that the filter cartridge pores are obstructed with dirt, body oils, or

calcification. Follow the filter cartridge cleaning procedures in the Spa Care and Maintenance section of this manual.

ACCESSORY NOTE:

For a different-feeling massage, ask your dealer about the HydroPulse

®

option; an alternative faceplate for your Moto-

Massage

®

jet.

HYDROMASSAGE JETS

The Hydromassage jets have two different nozzle options: directional and dual port rotary. The directional nozzle allows you to aim the water in the
direction that feels best. The dual port rotary nozzle divides the water flow into two streams, and then spins. 

ACCESSORY NOTE:

Your Hot Spring dealer stocks hydromassage jet kits which can easily be installed in your spa to modify your jets from

directional to dual port rotary.
