Do not connect power to an empty spa. Power to the Roto Spa automatically 
activates the electrical equipment. Serious damage to the equipment components 
may result and this is a non-warranty component failure. 

3.

 

Begin filling the Roto spa with water. The use of hot water is acceptable and will 
reduce the heating time to the set point. When using this method you should first 
add 30mm of cold water. Filling the Roto spa in stages will allow your hot water 
tank to recover.  

4.

 

Every Roto Spa has been tested during the manufacturing process to ensure 
functionality, performance, reliability and complete customer satisfaction. As a 
result a small amount of water may have remained in the system after testing. Clean 
the interior of the Roto Spa of any remaining debris. Completely wipe the interior 
of the Roto Spa with a wet sponge or a soft rag. For added cleaning you may use an 
isopropyl alcohol such as Windex.  

5.

 

Before filling your spa for the first time, remove the pump compartment door, 
check to ensure that the unions on either side of the pump and heater units are hand-
tight and the water valves are fully open. Remove the filter lid and skimmer basket. 
Then insert the end of a garden hose into the filter canister and begin filling the spa 
to the recommended level. The water level of the spa should be approximately 3cm 
above the highest jet in the spa and at least 5 to 8 cm over the skimmer/filter 
opening. Low water levels can cause damage to the pump and heater unit. Check all 
connections for leaks and hand tighten union fittings as required. The equipment 
may shift slightly during transportation. 

6.

 

Reinstall the skimmer basket and filter lid once the spa is filled and check to ensure 
that the filter is installed correctly.

 

7.

 

After the spa has been filled with water (and only when water level is adequate to 
avoid pump damage) power up the Roto Spa. When the spa is powered up, the 
electronic system will automatically activate and in the first few seconds of power-
up the system will be in auto diagnosis mode, checking the power levels (voltage 
correctness of wiring fuses etc.) At the end of the first step, the temperature of the 
water will be displayed and the system will begin the heating process. 

NOTE

: Do 

not expect to feel hot water immediately coming from the jets. The highly efficient 
heaters are designed to provide cost-saving, low level heating. The expected time to 
reach the set point depends on initial water temperature and ambient temperature.  

 

8.

 

The default set point water temperature is 95F. You can raise or lower the water 
temperature by pressing the “(



)” button on the control panel to the desired 

temperature. 

                                                                                                

                                                                            

      

9.

 

Pump 

key is used to turn pump on or to select between off, low and high speeds. 

Press 

Pump 

key to turn pump on. A second press will change pump speed. 

A built-in timer will turn pump off 20 minutes after it has been started unless the 
user does so manually.                                                                                     
The “Pump” indicator lights up on keypad display when pump is on.
