DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK • Install at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from all metal surfaces. A spa may be installed within 5 feet (1.5m) of a metal surface if each metal surface is permanently connected by a minimum No. 8AWG (8.4mm²) solid copper conductor attached to the wire ground connector on the terminal box that is provided for this purpose if in accordance with National Electrical Code ANSI/NMFPA70-1993. -
Page 6: Important Spa Instructions
WARNING: The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in hot tubs and spas. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY: • The water in the spa should never exceed 104°F (40°C) . Water temperatures between 100°F (38°C) and 104°F (40°C ) are considered safe for a healthy adult. -
Page 7: Installation Instructions
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS SITE PREPARATION You probably have a spot picked out for your new spa, whether it’s indoors or outdoors, on a patio or on a deck. Just make sure you check the following: • Always put your spa on a structurally sound, level surface. A filled spa can weigh a great deal. Make certain that the location you choose can support the weight of your filled spa. -
Page 8: Spa Leveling Preparation
SPA LEVELING PREPARATION Concrete sloped at ½ inch (1.3 cm) per 10 feet (305 cm) is preferred so that rain water and water spillover will run off and not puddle underneath the spa (water under the spa for long periods of time may cause the wood to deteriorate). Other options are brick, stepping stone, or blocks. It is important to note that soft surfaces, even when stepping stones are used to evenly distribute the weight of the spa, will have a tendency to settle, thus resulting in an unleveled spa. -

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND PRECAUTIONS Your HOT SPOT spa has been carefully designed to give you maximum safety against electrical shock. Connecting the spa to an improperly wired circuit will negate many of the spa’s safety features. Improper wiring may also cause electrocution, risk of fire, and other risks of injuries. Please read and follow the electrical installation requirements and instructions for your spa completely! 115 VOLT 30 AMP CONVERSION (SX &... -

Page 18: Operating Instructions
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS START-UP AND REFILL PROCEDURES Your HOT SPOT spa has been thoroughly tested during the manufacturing process to ensure reliability and long-term customer satisfaction. A small amount of water may have remained in the plumbing after testing and, as a result, may have spotted the spa shell or the spa siding prior to delivery. -
Page 19: Heating And Hydromassage Systems
OPERATION NOTES: 1. Your spa is equipped with a ten-minute timer delay on the heating/maintenance mode. Whenever the jet pump has been turned off (a demand for heat has occurred) or the temperature control has been turned up, it will take ten minutes before the low speed of the jet pump and heater become activated. -
Page 20: Safety Equipment
SAFETY EQUIPMENT A. GFCI: The Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter, located on the end of the power cord (115 Volt models only), is a safety device that is designed to sense as little as 5 milliamps of electrical current leakage to ground. It is very important to protect a GFCI from rain and other moisture. Watkins Manufacturing Corporation recommends that the GFCI be tested before each use to ensure it is functioning correctly. -

Page 36: Water Quality And Maintenance
WATER QUALITY AND MAINTENANCE It’s important to have clean water. Water maintenance is one of the least understood, yet most important areas of spa ownership. Your dealer can guide you through the process of achieving and maintaining perfect water in your spa, given your local conditions. Your program will depend on your water’s mineral content, how often you use your spa, and how many people use it. -
Page 37: Hot Spot Spa Water Maintenance Program
TO ADMINISTER SPA WATER CHEMICALS: 1. Fold back the spa cover. 2. Push the JET button twice to activate the jet pump’s high speed mode. 3. Carefully measure the recommended amount of chemical and slowly pour it into the filter compartment. Use care not to splash chemicals on your hands, in your eyes, on the spa shell surface or on the siding. - Page 38 BALANCING THE PH ADD pH A. The ideal pH level for your spa water is 7.2-7.6. ALKALINE DECREASER SPA WATER B. The pH level is the measure of acidity and alkalinity. Values above 7.6 are alkaline; TO LOWER pH (SCALING ZONE) those below 7.2 are acidic.

FOAM INHIBITORS Spa water requires changing due to the build-up of soap in the water. Typically, soap will cause the spa water to foam when the jets are used. Soap is introduced into the spa water from two sources; users’ bodies, which retain a soap residue after showering, and swimming apparel, which retains soap after washing. -

To clean and condition the vinyl cover: 1. Remove the cover from the spa and gently lean it against a wall or fence. 2. With a garden hose, spray the cover to loosen and rinse away dirt or debris. 3. Using a large sponge and/or a soft bristle brush, and using a very mild soap solution (1 teaspoon dishwashing liquid with 2 gallons (8 liters) of water) or baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), scrub the vinyl top in a circular motion. -
Page 47: Winterizing Your Spa
PREVENTION OF FREEZING Your spa has been designed and engineered for year-round use in any climate. In some areas, extremely cold temperatures (below 10°F) combined with strong wind, may cause partial freezing of the jet pump, even though the water inside the spa remains at the selected temperature. The energy efficiency of the spa may also decrease during these cold periods, as the heater will cycle more frequently. -
Page 48: Service Information
SERVICE INFORMATION GENERAL INFORMATION Your HOT SPOT spa has been designed to provide years of trouble-free use. As with any appliance, problems may occasionally occur that require the expertise of a qualified service person. Though such simple repairs as resetting a GFCI switch or breaker, high limit thermostat, or pressure switch, or replacing a light bulb may not require a service call, they may indicate that a more serious condition exists. -
Page 49: Acts Invalidating Warranty
ACTS INVALIDATING WARRANTY The limited warranty is void if the HOT SPOT Spa has been subjected to alteration, misuse or abuse, or if any repairs on the spa are attempted by anyone other than an authorized representative of Watkins Manufacturing Corporation.
