MAAX SPAS PERFORMANCE SERIES
START UP PROCEDURES
Follow recommendations for site location and
electrical connection. The water line on the
weir door is the level at which the water
should be maintained.
1. Fill the spa through the filter hole to the
water line on the weir door with tap water.
Never use ‘softened’ water in your spa.
Softened water can impact the chemical
balance of the water and lead to
degradation of metal plumbing fittings.
2. Turn power on to unit at circuit breaker or
disconnect panel.
3. Open the air controls, located on the top
lip, and cycle the jets from high to low.
Water should come from the therapy jets.
If water flow is not established, turn off jets
and see Priming Your Spa (this page).
4. Add chemicals. Ask your dealer for
additional information.
Follow Operating Instructions for your
particular model to set heat to the desired
temperature. Initially, you may find that the
spa requires 12 to 14 hours on 230 Volt
installations to reach temperature. Keep your
thermal cover on the unit and close the air
controls to help the heating process.
Priming Your Spa
When filling your spa for the first time or, after
draining and refilling the spa, you may need
to bleed air from the system. Should you
experience an air-lock on Pump 1, remove
the filter basket cover, insert a garden hose
through the center hole of the filter as far as
possible without using force. Hold the hose in
place and turn on the water. This forces water
into the pump and forces the air out.
Important: Do not operate the spa
without full water flow.
