USING THE RENEW 900
The RENEW 900 is designed for up to four adults.
The six water jets can be regulated to provide a relax-
ing massage to sooth away stress, and the strength
of the water massage can be adjusted by the air con-
trol. The RENEW 900 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
RENEW 900. Follow these guidelines to maintain the
RENEW 900 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 RENEW 900 the first time. You
must also prime the pump before using the unit each
time you re-fill the RENEW 900.
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 RENEW 900
Once the RENEW 900 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 RENEW 900.
First, turn on the RENEW 900 by pressing the power
button on the console. Once the unit is running, press
the GFCI “test” button. The RENEW 900 should shut
off. Press the “reset” button. The RENEW 900 should
resume normal operation. If the RENEW 900 contin-
ues to run after the “test” button is pressed, then the
GFCI is damaged. Do not use the RENEW 900 until
the GFCI has been repaired or replaced by a qualified
electrician.
STARTING THE RENEW 900
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 RENEW 900
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 RENEW 900 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 RENEW 900 comes with a starter chemical pack
for maintaining the water in the spa. Disregard the
directions on the individual packages of “QUICK pHix
It DOWN” and “QUICK pHix It UP.” However, the
directions on the bottle of “Non-chlorine Shox” and
“Bromine Base” 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 “Bromine Base” bottle,
and 1/3 of the “Non-chlorine Shox” bottle to the water
in the spa. Allow the water to circulate for five min-
utes. You should now test the pH level of the water.
Use the included test strips to check the pH of the
