MAAX 2007 Elite spas, Owner'S Manual

 15 

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 
components. 
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. See Chemical treatment and 
Water Maintenance section. 
 
        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 240 Volt installations 
to reach temperature. Keep your thermal cover on 
the unit and close the air controls to help the 
heating process. 
 
 

Important: Do not operate the spa without full 
water flow.

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 
in 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. 

Ozone Operation

All models in the 

Elite 

Series are equipped with 

Maax Spas’ CleanZone

TM

 water treatment system to 

assist with your water sanitizing needs.  The system is 
designed to work in conjunction with an injector 
system to maximize the sanitizing effects by fully 
mixing the ozone with the water flow. 
 CleanZone

TM

 will produce ozone only when 

the spa is in a timed filtration cycle.  During the filter 
cycle, activating other functions will suspend ozone 
production for 30 minutes. 
 

Note:

  Activating the low speed of Pump 1 for a clean-

up cycle will initiate filtration, but not ozone 
production, unless the spa enters a timed filter cycle 
during the 4 hour period. 

Turbo Air Boost

       If your spa is equipped with a Turbo Air system, it 
will increase the performance and the therapeutic 
action of the jets.  To turn the Turbo Air system ON 
and OFF, touch the 

BLOWER

 button. 

 Note:

 The Turbo Air blower will shut off 

automatically after 15 minutes. 

 Note:

  At the star of a filtration cycle, the 

blower is activated to purge the lines and ensure 
complete filtration.  Make sure at least one air control 
valve is fully open. 
 

Air Massage

       Certain models are equipped with an air massage 
system.  This function is identical to the Turbo Air 
Boost system.  Air injectors have been installed to the 
bottom of the seats to create a vigorous air and water 
massage in the entire spa.  To turn the Air massage 
ON and OFF, touch the 

BLOWER

 button. 

Note:

 The Air massage blower will shut off 

automatically after 15 minutes.
