USING THE DAYBREAK 300
The DAYBREAK 300 is designed for up to four adults.
The four water jets can be regulated to provide a
relaxing massage to sooth away stress, and the
strength of the water massage can be adjusted by the
air control. The DAYBREAK 300 holds 300 gallons of
water and offers an automatic, programmable heating
(70¡F to 104¡F) and filtration system.
The guidelines below explain how to properly use the
DAYBREAK 300. Follow these guidelines to maintain
the spa for your long-term enjoyment.
PRIMING THE SPA JET UNIT
The water pump in the spa jet unit must be primed
before you use the DAYBREAK 300 the first time. You
must also prime the pump before using the unit each
time you re-fill the DAYBREAK 300.
To prime the spa jet
unit, remove the
primer cap from the
console. Fill the spa
jet unit with at least 64
oz. of water.
Replace
and tighten the
primer cap. IMPOR-
TANT: The spa jet
unit may be seriously damaged if the pump is not
properly primed, or if the primer cap is not
replaced and fully tightened.
PLUGGING IN THE DAYBREAK 300
Once the DAYBREAK 300 is filled with enough water
to cover the water jets and the pump has been
primed, the power cord can be plugged in and the spa
jet unit can be turned on. Note: The first time the
power cord is plugged in, the spa jet unit will turn on
automatically.
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 DAYBREAK 300.
First, turn on the DAYBREAK 300 by pressing the
power button on the console. Once the unit is run-
ning, press the GFCI ÒtestÓ button. The DAYBREAK
300 should shut off. Wait at least 30 seconds. Press
the ÒresetÓ button. The DAYBREAK 300 should
resume normal operation. If the DAYBREAK 300 con-
tinues to run after the ÒtestÓ button is pressed, then
the GFCI is damaged. Do not use the DAYBREAK
300 until the GFCI has been repaired or replaced by a
qualified electrician.
STARTING THE DAYBREAK 300
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 the next page). The pumping unit will
heat the water as it pumps. Cover the DAYBREAK
300 with the spa cover.
The spa cover must be
tight.
The water will heat at about 1.7¡F an hour with
the cover on. If you are using the DAYBREAK 300
indoors, and the room temperature is maintained at
70¡F, it will take approximately 20 to 28 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 the next page).
TESTING AND TREATING THE WATER
The DAYBREAK 300 comes with a starter chemical
pack for maintaining the water in the spa. Disregard
the directions on the individual packages of ÒQUICK
pHix It DOWNÓ and ÒQUICK pHix It UP.Ó However, the
directions on the bottle of ÒNon-chlorine ShoxÓ and
ÒBromine BaseÓ 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. Once you have verified that the spa
jet unit is functioning properly, and have allowed the
water to circulate for a while, you should remove the
spa cover and add 1/3 of the ÒBromine BaseÓ bottle,
