Read and
familiarize yourself with the Equipment Description and Operation section of
this manual.
Unplug the power
cord (120 Volt plug-in system) or turn the electrical power “OFF” at the
service or breaker panel (120 or 240 Volt permanently connected system).
Open all water
shut-off valves.
For spas equipped
with a hose bib or drain valve, make sure that it has been closed.
For spas equipped
with in-line or pressure water filters, make sure that the filter nut,
housing drain plug, and air relief valve are closed and tight.
Using a standard
water hose, fill the spa with fresh tap water to the level recommended by
your spa manufacturer.
Inspect all
plumbing connections and lines for any sign of water leaks.
Connect a garden
hose to the bib or drain valve and run it away from the equipment
compartment. Open the hose bib or drain valve to bleed off any air that may
have been trapped in the plumbing system during the filling operation. After
a steady flow of water appears, close the hose bib. After closing the hose
bib, remove the garden hose from the hose bib. Be sure to dry off any excess
water around the electrical compartment before proceeding to the next steps.
Close all AIR
CONTROL VALVES. WARNING: Do not confuse with WATER shut-off valves.
Rotate thermostat
fully counterclockwise.
Set the program
mode switch to PROGRAM 2.
Plug the unit
into the proper outlet (120 Volt system) or turn on the breaker at the
electrical service panel (240 Volt system).
On units with a
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), check the GFCI by pressing the
“TEST” button on the face of the device. The “RESET” button should pop out.
The equipment should not operate.
Activate the
equipment by pressing the “RESET” button on the GFCI.
Close the
equipment access door. NOTE: Some spas have a door interlock switch that
prevents the equipment from operating if the equipment access door is opened.
If the jet pump(s)
or blower is operating, switch them off.
Press the “JET
PUMP” switch to run on high speed. Allow to run until you achieve a strong,
steady water flow (free of air bubbles).
On systems with a
pressure filter, bleed off trapped air by opening the Air-Relief valve. You
will notice a steady flow of water when the air has been bled completely.
Switch the "JET
PUMP" off.
If equipped,
switch the "BLOWER" on to verify that it is working, then switch it off.
If equipped,
switch the "LIGHT" on to verify that it is working, then switch it off.
If equipped,
switch the "Auxiliary PUMP" on to verify that it is working, allow to run
until all air is evacuated from the plumbing system, then switch it off.
Rotate the
thermostat fully clockwise to the “HOT / MAX” position.
The pump low
speed and heater will now be operating.
After the water
has attained your desired temperature set the program mode switch to PROGRAM
1. Be sure the timer operation is set.
