after performing Spa Fill Up Procedures steps 1-6. Disregard steps 9-15
below if sanitizer levels remain stable after performing steps 1-6.

spa has been "Winterized" (Sec. 13.8, page 66) or has been sitting
without power for an extended period.

10. Leave spa cover open during this step to allow
excessive chemical vapors to exit spa, protecting
pillows and plastic knobs from chemical attack. If spa is
indoors, open doors and windows for proper ventilation.
Turn on all spa jet pumps for one hour, open all air
controls, and place all massage selector knob(s) in their
center "combo" position.
Note: You will need to activate the jet pumps every 20 minutes since
these functions have an automatic 20 minute time-out that turns them off.
WARNING:
!
• To decrease the risk of injury, drowning or entrapment,
never leave your hot tub unattended for any reason while
the cover is open and accessible, especially to small
children and animals!
• Precautions should be taken to minimize your exposure
to chemical vapors (that could cause lung, brain, or skin
damage).
