Filling And Powering Up Your Portable Spa - Coleman Roto Spa Owner's Manual

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 wa-
ter 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 loos-
en during shipment.
2. If equipped, 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 sys-
tem and prevent the pumps from op-
erating 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 fil-
tration system which can cause pump
failure.
6. Once the water is at the correct level and air is
bled, plug in the spa into a dedicated electrical
outlet.
Note: 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 wa-
ter 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 canis-
ter.
The spa is now ready for use.
