Identification/Compliance Label (Portable Spas and Swim Spas) Silver Spas Spas come complete with their own Identification / Compliance Label which can be found in the engine bay area of the spa. It is an aluminium plate containing a host of information.
Operating Manual General Information Important Safety Instructions Do not power up your spa until you have read this entire Operating Manual. Improper installation may result in equipment damage and void the Spa Warranty. Please take note: • You must contact local Authorities in relation to pool fencing and other manditory regulations that MUST be adhered to when installing a spa.
Operating Manual Installation Preparing A Foundation For Your Spa Indoor / Outdoor Your spa needs a good solid foundation. The area that your spa sits on must be able to support the weight of 500kg/m2 (1000kg/m2 for Swim Spas). If the foundation is inadequate, it may shift or settle after the spa is in place, causing stress to the shell.
Operating Manual Electrical Connections As stated in the Spa Industries Pre-Delivery Manual, a qualified Registered Electrical Contractor must undertake all electrical connections. You must also have a Certificate of Electrical Safety issued by the Electrical Contractor at completion of the installation.
Power Consumption Electrical Terminations With all Silver Spas spas, you will usually find the Control Box at the same end of the spa as the controller Touchpad Control Centre. There are a number of electric controllers that you may find on your Silver Spas spa. The Geeko System is the unit most widely used by Silver Spas.
Operating Manual Checklist Checklist Prior To Filling Your Spa Never operate equipment without correct water in your spa. Serious damage to the pump and/or heater may occur. Damage caused to the pumps or heater through poor water chemistry will not be covered by the Spa Warranty. Remove all access service panels around the exterior of the spa, inspect for any item that may have come become loose during transport.
Operating Manual Start Up • If spa is a plug-in model, plug the power cord into the power point and switch the power on. If the spa is hard wired, turn power on at the main isolator. When the unit is powered up, it is normal operation that the spa pumps may turn on and run for up to 4 minutes depending on the type of controller.
Operating Manual Spa Filters Cleaning Your Spa Filter Cartridges Filter cartridges are made from fine polyester paper like material, specifically designed to filter out body oil and grime. Your spa is equipped with easy access skimmer cartridge filters. The average life expectancy of a filter cartridge is approximately 12-18 months, (with proper care and correct water maintenance).
Operating Manual Draining the Spa Approximately every 8-12 weeks, or more frequently depending upon usage, you should completely drain your spa. About 1/3 of the water capacity should be drained off every month in addition to the above procedure to keep the water manageable.
Operating Manual Acrylic Shell Maintenance Ensure spa is not continually exposed to the elements, the acrylic shell can reach very high temperatures if spa is located without shading or cover. Damage due to sunlight or extreme temperatures is not covered by the Spa Warranty. Exposure to the elements while not filled with water, while hardcover is removed or by simply no shading of the spa may cause damage to the acrylic shell.
Operating Manual Jet Information Air Control These controls allow you to regulate the amount of air that is mixed with water entering through the jets. This significantly increases the jets performance and massage effect. Air Control’s should be in the closed position when spa is not in use, to aid in heat retention.

Operating Manual To keep your jets performing at their best, you should regularly remove adjustable jets and clean them (approximately once every 3 months). Clean the jet face in hot soapy water. Make sure all fittings are moving freely before re-inserting. (Sand and grit in jet will not be covered by Warranty) Ensure all soap residue is removed prior to re-installation of jet face.
Operating Manual Blower & Pumps The pump and/or blower will turn on automatically at various times of the day. This function is to eliminate the water becoming stagnant and allowing build up of bacteria. The pumps and blowers will automatically turn off after approximately 20 minutes of operation. This is normal operation, designed to protect the pumps and blower.
