5. Keep containers closed tightly when not in use.

6. Never add water to the chemicals—always add

the chemicals to the water as directed.

7. Always store chemicals in a cool, dry place.

MAINTAINING THE PROPER PH BALANCE

The pH factor is a measure of the relative acidity or

alkalinity in the water, and is measured on a scale of

1 to 14. Pure water has a value of 7, which is neutral.

Any value above 7 is alkaline, and any value below 7

is acidic. You should maintain a slightly alkaline pH

level, between 7.2 and 7.8, in the hydrotherapy spa.

Severe problems can occur when the pH balance is

not maintained within this range. If the pH level

exceeds 7.8, dissolved minerals can build up and clog

the plumbing in the spa jet unit. If the pH level falls

below 7.2, the acid level in the water will begin to cor-

rode the metal parts in the spa jet unit. Also, the sani-

tation agents in the water will not be effective if the pH

level is not properly maintained. Damage caused by

improper pH levels is not covered under the warranty.

To maintain the proper pH level, test the pH of the

water regularly. To test the water, purchase a pH test

kit at a pool and spa supply store. The pH reading

should be between 7.2 and 7.8. If the level is too low,

add a pH increaser (usually soda ash). If the level is

too high, add a pH reducer (usually sodium bisulfate).

Test the water again after five minutes. See the

instructions with your pH test kit for additional infor-

mation about testing and adjusting the pH.

SANITIZING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA

The most common sanitizing agent is a solid bromine

concentrate. The amount required varies according to

several factors, such as user load, temperature, and

water conditions. Proper water maintenance is a com-

plex process. Contact your local pool and spa supplier

for information concerning which chemicals you

should use in your area to sanitize the spa.

CHANGING THE FILTER CYCLE

The spa will filter the water every 12 hours. The dura-

tion of the cycle can be adjusted to last 2 to 5 hours.

Press the temperature up or temperature down button

on the console. When the display begins to flash,

press the pump button. The display will read F2. To

change the time, press the temp up button until the

desired time is reached. Press the pump button to

confirm the selection. As spa usage increases, the

duration of the filter cycle may need to be increased.

REMOVING AND ATTACHING THE ACCESS PANEL

To locate the access panels, refer to the drawing on

page 6. Turn off the power to the spa. To remove an

access panel, first remove the four indicated screws.

Slide the access panel down and then pull the bottom

of it away from the spa.

Note: Be careful not to

damage the spa shell as you remove the access

panel.

To re-attach the access panel, insert the top of the

access panel under the edge of the spa shell. Slide

the access panel up until the bottom of the access

panel clears the trim along the bottom of the spa.

Then, slide the access panel into place and re-attach

it with the four screws.

DRAINING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA

The hydrotherapy spa should be drained at least four

times per year and refilled with clean water. You may

need to drain the spa more often, depending on the

user load. This must be done because after repeated

chemical treatment the water becomes chemically

saturated. Once this happens, additional chemical

treatment of the water is no longer effective. The spa

should also be drained if you will not be using it for

long periods of time. The spa must always be drained

before major repairs are made.

The hydrotherapy spa should always be covered

when it is empty. Direct sunlight can cause exten-

sive damage. The surface of the spa shell can

reach temperatures as high as 150°F in a matter

of minutes if exposed to the sun while it is empty.

These high temperatures can cause significant

damage, such as blistering of the shell surface

and warping of the spa shell. Any damage caused

by sun exposure is not covered under warranty.
