Functional Checks; And First Start-Up - Jacuzzi Experience ALIMIA Installation Manual

JACUZZI EUROPE S.p.A. shall not be held liable:
If installation is carried out by unqualified personnel and/or per-
sonnel unauthorized to carry out installation.
If the norms and legal provisions, regarding the electric systems
of buildings, in force in the country in which installation is carried
out are not complied with.
If the instructions for installation and maintenance contained in this
manual are not followed.
If unsuitable and/or uncertified materials are used for installation.
If the spas are not installed in compliance with the aforementioned
standards.
If incorrect operations are performed that reduce the level of pro-
tection of the electrical equipment against water jets, modify the
protection against electrocution due to direct or indirect contact,
or produce abnormal conditions of insulation, current leakage or
overheating.
For example, failure to provide a siphon on the pipes of the blow-
i
er ( 1a, 1b, 1c - 2a, 2b, 2c) in the models that include this func-
tion substantially reduces the degree of protection against elec-
trocution.
If any components or parts of the appliance are altered in relation
to the original state when supplied, releasing the Manufacturer from
any liability.
If the appliance is repaired by unauthorised personnel or if spare
parts are used other than the original ones supplied by Jacuzzi Eu-
rope S.p.A.

FUNCTIONAL CHECKS

AND FIRST START-UP

Check that the filter has been filled with the provided sand
and that connections have been made to the selector valve and
to the ground drainage point.
Check that installation has been carried out in all details (e.g.
perimeter supports), that pipes have been carefully glued, and
that various sleeves and clamps ensure perfect seal. Also check
that the ball valves of the drain pipes are closed.
Make sure that the ball valves of the various pipes that con-
nect the spa to the spa-pak and to the compensation tank are
all open, with the exception of the valves on the filtering suction
line, which must be calibrated properly for best system opera-
tion. This adjustment is necessary each time the system is
drained using the filtering pump and then refilled.
NOTE: the water that goes to the filter comes in part from the
suction nozzles on the bottom of the tub and in part from the
compensation tank. It is advisable to leave the ball valve (
1a, 1b, 1c - detail3) located on the bottom nozzles only par-
tially open, so as to suction about 60-70% from the compen-
sation tank and approximately 40-30% from the bottom noz-
zles of the spa.
Turn on the omnipolar switch located on the power supply line
(see the chapter on connections and electrical safety).
Fill the system with water, i.e. fill the spa until the overflow
channel overflows and let it flow into the compensation tank.
If you use the hose for garden work, let water run
NOTE:
for a while before filling the spa. This will eliminate stag-
nant water in the hose along with any bacteria which may
cause irritations.
You may now stop manual filling with water, since when you
close the safety level switch located on the spa-pak (
1c - detail 19) automatic filling of water in the compensation
tank also starts via the solenoid valve.
NOTE: if the level switch does not give permission, the system
will remain shut down, including the filling solenoid. The afore-
mentioned switch may remain open due to an air pocket. In this
case the housing must be vented using the appropriate valve.
When there is no water in the compensation tank, or it is
below the safety level, all spa functions controlled by the elec-
trical panel are blocked, except for water filling via the sole-
noid valve.
This ensures the safety of the entire system (dry running of
pumps, start-up of heating, etc.).
