Do not use the spa the FIRST TIME it is STARTED UP
after super chlorination, given the high concentration of
disinfectants in the water at this time. Completely drain the
spa and refi ll.
IMPORTANT: pour the chemical products directly into the
fi lter compartment and leave the pump to work with high-
speed jets for at least ten minutes.
WINTERIZING YOUR SPA
If you wish to leave your spa empty and it is located where
freezing temperatures occur, follow steps outlined in "Draining
Your Spa", then complete the following steps:
IMPORTANT: The following steps should protect your spa
from freezing damage provided these instructions are
followed exactly. For maximum protection against freeze
damage to your spa, Manufacturer recommends contacting
your local dealer to schedule an in-home Propylene glycol
(anti-freeze) Winterizing Service plan.
NOTE: MAKE CERTAIN ALL POWER TO THE SPA IS OFF
BEFORE YOU CONTINUE.
To help remove residual water in the air jet plumbing use one of
the following steps:
1. Remove the fi lter lid and fi lter cartridge. Clean the fi lter cartridge
and store in a dry place.
2. Thoroughly dry the spa shell with a clean towel.
3. Close the spa cover . If your area recieves a lot of snow or
ice, it is recommended to cover the spa cover with two pieces
of plywood forming a pitched roof top to prevent snow and ice
build-up.
WARNING: When not in use, the spa must be covered with
an insulating spa cover. Damage caused by either sun
exposure or freezing is not covered under warranty.
4. Unscrew the pump unions and allow the water to drain. Leave
unions loose.
NOTE: DO NOT LEAVE ANY WATER IN YOUR SPA.
WARNING: When not in use, the spa must be covered with
a spa cover. Damage caused by either sun exposure or
freezing is not covered under warranty.
Opening Instructions:
5. Remove the spa cover. Reinstall drain plug and hand
tighten pump union. Follow the "START-UP AND REFILL
PROCEDURES" to refi ll your spa.
SERVICE
The pump, for the jets, is fi tted with an internal thermal cutout
designed to protect it against overheating. If the pump shuts itself
off in an older spa, it could indicate failure of the pump motor
bearings. If the pump shuts itself off in a new spa, it is usually the
result of one or a combination of the following factors:
• Thermal Overload: Although mass-produced, not all thermal
overload cutoff s are exactly the same. Some are more
sensitive than others and will shut the pump off at lower
temperatures.
• High Temperature: All spa models are equipped with
a jet pump that generates heat inside the equipment
compartment from the pump motor. Your spa has a vent
to the outside of the equipment compartment preventing
the overheating of the pump motor. If the vent is blocked
by masonry, grass, or debris, overheating of the jet pump
may occur. Once the pump motor has cooled suffi ciently
and any blockage has been removed from the vent opening,
the jet pump can be restarted.
• Friction: Sometimes the moving parts of a new pump are
tight enough to cause heat build up due to friction. After a
normal break-in period, the pump will run cooler.
• Improper Wiring: If the spa is connected with an extension
cord, and/or the house wiring is undersized, the pump may
starve for voltage and therefore may draw more amperage
and generate excessive heat.
• If the pump is shutting down due to excessive heat, make
sure the equipment compartment has adequate ventilation.
The air gap at the bottom must not be blocked. Should your
jet pump continue to shut off after short periods of use,
contact a qualifi ed service technician.
