functions are listed below in an attempt to suppress any operational
concerns you may have during the first 24 hours of ownership! Also listed

minute. If either pump has just finished a 20 minute time out, it will not
automatically activate for the clean-up cycle. Be aware, the factory
programmed clean-up cycle cannot be canceled or altered!

replace the spa’s water every 3 months. The frequency depends on a

change when you cannot control sudsing and/or you can no longer get
the normal feel or sparkle to the water, even though the key water
balance measurements are all within the proper parameters. See pages
