USING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA

The hydrotherapy spa is designed to seat five adults.
The ten thera-jets can be regulated to provide a relax-
ing massage to sooth away stress, and the strength
of the water massage can be adjusted by the air con-
trol. The hydrotherapy spa holds 200 gallons of water
and offers an automatic, programmable heating (41°F
to 104°F) and filtration system. 

The guidelines below explain how to properly use the
hydrotherapy spa. Follow these guidelines to maintain
the hydrotherapy spa for your long-term enjoyment.

PLUGGING IN THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA

Once the hydrotherapy spa is filled with water and
you have made sure that the cut-off valves to the
pump are open
, the power cord can be plugged in
and the spa can be turned on. Note: The first time the
power cord is plugged in, the spa will turn on auto-
matically.

When connecting the power cord, plug the power cord
directly into a grounded circuit capable of carrying 15
or more amps. No other appliance should be on the
same circuit. Replace the power cord immediately if it
becomes damaged.

The power cord is equipped with a Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), located at the end of the
power cord. You should always test the GFCI before
using the hydrotherapy spa.  

First, turn on the hydrotherapy spa by pressing the
power button on the console. Once the unit is run-
ning, press the GFCI “test” button. The hydrotherapy
spa should shut off. Press the “reset” button. The
hydrotherapy spa should resume normal operation. If
the hydrotherapy spa continues to run after the “test”
button is pressed, then the GFCI is damaged. Do not
use the hydrotherapy spa until the GFCI has been
repaired or replaced by a qualified electrician.

TESTING AND TREATING THE WATER

The hydrotherapy spa comes with a starter chemical
pack for maintaining the water in the spa. Disregard
the directions on the individual packages of “QUICK
pHix It DOWN” and “QUICK pHix It UP.” However, the
directions on the bottle of “Non-chlorine Shox” and
“Bromine Base” are correct. Always keep the chemi-
cals away from children and pets.

The first time you use the spa, you should test and
treat the water. You must also treat the water each
time you refill the spa. 
Once you have verified that
the spa is functioning properly, and the water has cir-
culated for a while, remove the spa cover and add 1/3
of the “Bromine Base” bottle, and 1/3 of the “Non-
chlorine Shox” bottle to the water. Allow the water to
circulate for five minutes. You should now test the pH
of the water. You will need a pH test kit (not included),
which can be obtained 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 half of one of the “QUICK
pHix It UP” packets to the water. Let the water circu-
late through the spa for five minutes. Test the pH level
again. Repeat until the pH level is correct.

If the level is too high, add half of one of the “QUICK
pHix It DOWN” packets to the water. Let the water cir-
culate through the spa for five minutes. Test the pH
level again. Repeat until the pH level is correct.

See WATER CHEMISTRY on page 17 for information
concerning proper water maintenance.

STARTING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA

Once you have tested the GFCI, you should verify the
water flow from the pumping unit. Set the air control
on the console to the lowest setting (see USING THE
CONSOLE on page 13). The pumping unit will heat
the water as it pumps. Cover the hydrotherapy spa
with the spa cover. The spa cover must be tight.
(See SECURING THE SPA COVER on page 14.) The
water will heat at about 2.0°F an hour with the cover
on. If you are using the spa indoors, and the room
temperature is maintained at 70°F, it will take approxi-
mately 24 to 26 hours for the water to reach the set
temperature.

The temperature and water flow can be set or
changed by the controls on the console (see USING
THE CONSOLE on page 13).
