OPERATION

Now that your Quantum Plus spa is in place, you are probably eager to take advantage of its unique designed-in features—

especially the patented Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath hydromassage performance. Besides being a beautiful addition to your
indoor decor or outdoor landscaping, your Jacuzzi whirlpool spa will provide you with the ultimate in spa pleasure.

Basic Control Set-Up

The control set-up on your Quantum Plus spa is designed to give you fingertip control of the heater, lights, air induction,

Water Rainbow and whirlpool/filter pump and blower systems of your unit from inside or outside your spa.  Follow the basic
control set-up described below to familiarize yourself with the several functions of the control panels located on the top of
the spa.

CAUTION

Do not turn on power to the spa unless it is filled with water to the normal water level.  (See water line indicatormark
on skimmer frame.)  When the power is on, the built-in timer may activate the system even though the SYSTEM is
turned off at the control panel.  If the spa’s motor/pump is actuated when there is not sufficient water in the unit,
the circulation pump and heater could be irreparably damaged.    In addition to damaging the unit, operating the
spa with insufficient water could cause a fire.

SYSTEM CONTROL MODULE

Using a garden hose, fill the spa with water to the
waterline indicator mark on the skimmer frame.  (See
page 20 for information on using Water Rainbow as a
fill spout if desired.)

At the house service panel, turn on the circuit breaker
or switch that controls the electrical service to your spa.
(Make sure there is no other appliance on that circuit.)

Open the skirt door giving access to the System Control
Module.

Your spa is provided with a earth leakage circuit breaker
(ELCB). At initial start-up and at least once a month
thereafter, with power on, push the button located on
the spa System Control Module.  The switch should
move to the OFF (O) position.  Move the switch to the
ON (1) position to reset.  If the interrupter fails to operate
in this manner, there is a ground current flowing or a
device malfunctioning, indicating the possibility of elec-
tric shock. Turn off power and do not use the spa until
the source of the breakdown has been identified and
corrected.

HIGH TEMPERATURE SAFETY SWITCH

High temperatures above the thermostat range
will cause the high temperature safety switch to
trip and the system to turn off.  See operating
instructions.  When water temperature is less
than 100

°

 F., reset by pressing the safety switch

reset button located on the cover of the heater
enclosure.

CAUTION

This system is GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) pro-tected for your
safety.  Bypassing the GFCI or tampering with the system in any way may
cause electrical shock, in-jury or death and will void the warranty.  GFCI
protection does not extend to 230 V AC circuit conversion.  If test indi-cates
that the GFCI is not functioning, DO NOT  USE THE UNIT  until the electrical
problem has been corrected. (See installation instructions.)   TEST  THE GFCI
ONCE A MONTH.

TEST PROCEDURE
Unit must be filled to proper water level and correct power supplied.

1. Push TEST button of GFCI.

2. RESET button should pop out.  This should cut off power

to the system.  CAUTION: if RESET button does not
pop out, or if RESET  button does pop out and system
is still on, DO NOT USE YOUR SPA.

3. If the GFCI tests okay, restore power by pushing in the

reset button.  The RESET button must be pushed until

it locks into place and remains depressed.

IF THE GFCI FAIL TO RESET PROPERLY, DO NOT USE
THE SPA!  CONTACT A  QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
