what do I do first?

  Inspect for damage

Carefully unwrap your spa and thoroughly inspect  

it for any damage. If you notice any transit damage  

to your product, please photograph the damage,  

keep all paperwork/labels and contact the dealer  

from which the spa was purchased immediately.

  Rotate jets

Rotate all jets to the ‘on’ position.

 

  Wipe out excess water

Your Sapphire Spa has been thoroughly factory  

tested during the manufacturing process to ensure maximum 

reliability and long term satisfaction. Wipe out any excess 

water from the spa that may have drained from the plumbing 

after testing and make sure the spa  

is clean prior to filling. 

  Check pump connection and release valves

Prior to filling your spa, remove the side panels where 

the engine compartment and control equipment are 

situated. Ensure all your pump connections are tight 

and release valves are  

open as they may have shifted during transit.

  Remove filter tray & cartridges

Slide filter face upwards, then remove filter  

tray cover & filter cartridges before filling  

(2 x cartridges in spa pools / 4 x cartridges  

in swim spas)

  Check air controls

Ensure all air controls on the topside of your  

spa are turned to the ‘off’ position. Failure  

to turn off the air controls will extend your  

heat up time dramatically.

Warning: It is important that home owners comply with state and council regulations which are in place to improve 

safety outcomes. Additional information can be obtained from your local council or please visit spasa.com.au
