START-UP PROCEDURE
Your spa is equipped with solid-state Comfort
Controls specific to your spa model. Please see SPA
CONTROL OPERATION for your specific spa model.
To start your spa, you need a spa water test kit and
an underwater thermometer. It is important to follow
each of these steps when starting your spa.
Once
you have completed the following steps, refer to the
WATER TREATMENT section for proper start-up
water maintenance.
NOTE: Your spa has been filled and test-run at the
factory. The first time your spa is filled with water,
some discoloration from residual test water may
appear. This will disappear when the spa is com-
pletely filled and the filtration system is functioning.
Test the water for the proper chemical balance and
adjust as necessary. PROPER CHEMICAL BAL-
ANCE IS IMPORTANT for your safety and the
longevity of your spa.
THERAPY PUMP
Allow the spa to circulate on high-speed (see SPA
CONTROL OPERATION) for four to five minutes to
discharge air from the plumbing system. Do not
expect hot water immediately from the jets; the
heater will take several hours to heat the water.
Start-up procedure for all models
1. Place spa on a hard, flat, level surface. Make
sure the power supply is off.
2. Make sure the suction guard(s) in the footwell
are in place and undamaged.
3. Open the equipment door. (SEE EQUIPMENT
DIAGRAM). Tighten all disconnects and open all
shut-off valves. Close drain valve in equipment
bay.
4. Install filter cartridges. (See INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS, Filter Cartridge(s).)
5. Fill the spa with water to two-thirds of the way
up the Vortex skimmer openings. The use of a
Fill Filter is recommended, especially in areas
with high mineral content in the water.
