Filling and Powering Up Your Portable Spa

Never fill your spa with soft water.
Soft water makes it impossible to maintain the proper water chemistry and may cause the
water to foam, which will ultimately harm the finish of the spa and void your warranty.
1. Once the spa has been placed on an approved
surface and has been correctly wired by a licensed
electrician, inspect all plumbing connections in the
equipment area of your spa. Ensure that these
connections are secure and that they did not
loosen during shipment.
2. Open all gate valves in the equipment area. Before
operating the spa, these valves must be in the up
or "open" position.
VERY IMPORTANT!
Never run the spa with the gate valves
closed or without water circulating for
long periods of time. Be careful not to
over-tighten the plumbing fittings.
3. Remove the cartridge from filter canister.
4. Place a garden hose in the filter canister and fill
your spa with regular tap water about six
inches from the top.
VERY IMPORTANT!
Always fill the spa through the filter
canister! Failure to do so may cause
air to be trapped in the filtration
system and prevent the pumps from
operating properly.

5. Presoak the filters in spa water.
VERY IMPORTANT!
You must presoak the filters before
inserting them in the filter canister.
Dry filters can allow air into the
filtration system which can cause
pump failure.
6. Once the water is at the correct level and air
is bled, turn on the power at the GFCI breaker.
(Ensure that the 120V spas are connected to the
proper electrical outlet.)
Note: Depending on the model, when the power
is turned on to the spa, the controls will perform
a diagnostic check for approximately five minutes.
When the diagnostic is complete, the spa will
automatically operate at filter speed and continue
heating until the spa water temperature reaches
the default temperature of 100˚F.
8. If no water is flowing when the pump is running,
there could be an air pocket at the suction side of
the pump. Shut off power to the spa and loosen
the pump union on the suction side of the pump
to bleed the air. When air is bled, turn power
back on.
9. Install the pre-soaked filters into the filter
canister.
The spa is now ready for use.
