The hydrotherapy spa is designed to seat seven

adults. The spa holds approximately 375 gallons of

water and offers a heating system (80°F to 104°F), a

filtration system, and adjustable hydrotherapy jets.

Follow the guidelines below to use and maintain the

spa for your long-term enjoyment.

WIRING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA

The spa should be located near a power source capa-

ble of supplying 240 volts AC power. It must be wired

directly into a grounded circuit with a 45 amp circuit

breaker and a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)

capable of carrying 45 amps. No other appliance

should be on the same circuit.

Test the GFCI before

connecting the power cord to the spa. Connection

of the spa to the 240 volt power source must be

performed by a qualified, licensed electrician and

must comply with all local, state, and federal elec-

trical codes.

Please see the instructions on the

inside of the controller for information about connect-

ing the spa to a 240 volt power source.

Once the spa is filled with water, the power can be

turned on.

Note: If this is the first time the spa has

been turned on, or if the pumps have been

drained, the pumps must be primed before the

spa can be used.

PRIMING THE PUMPS

To prime the pumps, follow the steps below.

1. Remove the access panel (see ATTACHING AND

REMOVING THE ACCESS PANEL on page 17).

2. Make sure all of the valves in the plumbing system

are open to allow as much air as possible to

escape from the plumbing and the controller dur-

ing the filling process. Fill the spa to the level

shown in step 5 on page 9. Use towels to soak up

any water that leaks from the plumbing and pumps

during the priming process.

3. Loosen the indi-

cated collar on

one of the pumps

to vent the air

from the pump.

Repeat for the

other pump.

Allow a small

amount of water

and air to escape from the pumps and related

plumbing. Then, retighten the collars.

4. Turn the power on. The spa will begin an auto-

matic priming sequence.

A countdown from “005” to “000” will appear in the

display of the console.

Once the countdown has reached “000,” “Pr” will

be displayed. “Pr” indicates that the controller is in

the two-pump priming mode. This mode will last

for four to five minutes.

5. As soon as “Pr” is displayed, push pump button 1

once to start the pump on low speed and then

push the button again to switch to high speed.

Repeat for pump button 2.

If water is not flowing from the jets after two min-

utes, turn the power off.

Important:

Do not allow

the pumps to run without priming for more than

two minutes.

Under no circumstances allow a

pump to run without priming beyond the end

of the four to five minute priming mode.

Doing

so may cause damage to the pump and cause the

spa to go into an overheat condition.

Repeat the process of venting the air from the

pumps and the controller and priming the pumps

until water flows from the jets.

6. When the priming sequence is completed, the spa

will automatically return to the normal heating and

filtering mode. During the priming process, the

heater is disabled to allow the pumps to be primed

without activating the heater under low flow or no

flow conditions.

Once the pumps are primed, push pump button 1

and pump button 2 to turn the pumps off.

7. The console will display “100F” and then “--F,” for

approximately one minute. The spa requires one

minute of water flowing through the heater to

determine the water temperature.
