The hydrotherapy spa is designed to seat five adults.
The spa holds 225 gallons of water and offers a heat-
ing system (70°F to 104°F), a filtration system, ten
adjustable hydrotherapy jets, and a powerful whirlpool
jet. Follow the guidelines below to use and maintain
the spa for your long-term enjoyment.

PLUGGING IN THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA

Important: The hydrotherapy spa is equipped with a
120/240V convertible electronics package. Operation
at 240V will allow the heater to run more efficiently
and less often. Conversion of the spa to 240V oper-
ation must be performed only 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 converting the spa to
240V operation.

Once the hydrotherapy spa is filled with water, the
power cord can be plugged in and the spa can be
turned on. Note: The first time the power cord is
plugged in, the spa will turn on automatically.

When connecting the power cord, plug the power cord
directly into a grounded circuit capable of carrying 15
or more amps. No other appliance should be on the
same circuit. Replace the power cord immediately if it
becomes damaged.

The power
cord is
equipped
with a
Ground
Fault Circuit
Interrupter
(GFCI). You
should
always test
the GFCI
before using
the hydro-
therapy spa. First, turn on the spa by pressing the jet
button on the console (see USING THE 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 opera-
tion. If the spa continues to run after the “test” button
is pressed, the GFCI is damaged. Do not use the spa
until the GFCI has been repaired or replaced by a
qualified electrician.

TESTING AND TREATING THE WATER

The hydrotherapy spa comes with a starter chemical
pack for maintaining the water in the spa. Disregard
the directions on the individual packages of “QUICK
pHix It DOWN” and “QUICK pHix It UP.” However, the
directions on the bottle of “Non-chlorine Shox” and
“Bromine Base” are correct. Always keep the chemi-
cals away from children and pets.

The first time you use the spa, you should test and
treat the water. You must also treat the water each
time you refill the spa. 
Once you have verified that
the spa is functioning properly, and have allowed the
water to circulate for a while, you should remove the
spa cover and add 1/3 of the “Bromine Base” bottle,
and 1/3 of the “Non-chlorine Shox” bottle to the water
in the spa. Allow the water to circulate for five min-
utes. You should now test the pH level of the water by
using the included test strips. Refer to the test strip
packaging for instructions on using the test strips. The
pH reading should be between 7.2 and 7.8. 

If the level is too low, add half of one of the “QUICK
pHix It UP” packets to the water. Let the water circu-
late through the spa for five minutes. Test the pH level
again. Repeat until the pH level is correct.

If the level is too high, add half of one of the “QUICK
pHix It DOWN” packets to the water. Let the water cir-
culate through the spa for five minutes. Test the pH
level again. Repeat until the pH level is correct.

See WATER CHEMISTRY on page 14 for information
concerning proper water maintenance.

STARTING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA

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 on
page 11). The water will heat at about 1.8°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 24 to 36 hours for the water to
reach the set temperature.

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