Many troubleshooting inquiries can be handled by your dealer by phone. 

 

 

Side panel removal allows easy access to all interior spa plumbing for easy inspection or 
repair, allowing for total jet accessibility in seconds rather than minutes. 

 

 

Most parts are readily available from the factory, if not already in stock at your local 
dealer. 

 

Quick Tip Guide 

 

1.

 

For 120v (volt) hook up, use a dedicated circuit (15 Amp minimum, 20 Amp 
recommended) within the cord distance. 

2.

 

Spa cover must be closed for the spa to properly heat.  Heating time depends on air 
temperature but generally the spa will average 24 to 48 hours to heat on 120v.  The spa 
will automatically filter twice a day for 1 hour each time (to change this see page 3 of 
the ML260 User Guide attached).  Jets must all be open when the spa is not used for 
proper heating and filtration.  The pump will continue to run until reaching the set 
temperature.

 

The spa cord has a GFCI protection device. If it repeatedly trips, 

disconnect the plug from the receptacle until the fault has been identified and corrected 
by a spa technician.

 

 

3.

 

If an extension cord is used, it must be as short as possible and at least 10 gauge (for 
outdoor use).  Inferior cords may cause spa controls to malfunction and void your 
equipment warranty.

 

 

4.

 

The heating spa will cause condensation to form on the outside and bottom of the spa 
which may cause reason to believe the spa is leaking.  For this reason, small “leaks” 
should be allowed a few days prior to further investigation.   

5.

 

The spa pump has an automatic high temperature shut off.  If the motor stops, it will 
auto start after it cools.

 

 

6.

 

All tubing, manifolds, valves, etc. can be easily accessed throughout the spa by 
removing the panels.

 

 

7.

 

To convert the spa to 240v please contact your dealer or a licensed electrician. A 4-
wire, 50 amp breaker is needed for 240v applications.
