Start-Up Instruc Ons - PDC spas Luxury Series Owner's Manual

Installa on and Ini al Start‐Up Instruc ons
Once the hot tub is in its final loca on perform the following steps to begin the start‐up procedure.
1. Consult the specifica on sheet for your specific hot tub model to locate the electrical spa pack. Remove the cabinet
panel exposing pack for electric connec on comple on.
2. Consult the specifica on sheet to locate all the pumps for your specific model, then remove appropriate cabinet
panels. Be sure all pump and heater unions are secure. Each pump has 2 unions, the heater has 2 unions. The unions
of a newly delivered hot tub may have loosened during transporta on. While checking the unions also check the slide
valves are in the up posi on and the lock is installed. Photo right.
3. Inspect the hot tub for any dirt or par cles that may have fallen onto the surface a er
the plas c was removed from the unit. Wipe the hot tub with a so damp sponge.
4. Ensure your water source is safe for hot tub use. Water may contain minerals that could
cause stains or deposits. Water with high mineral count may discolor the water once a
sani zer is added.
5. Let the water run out of your garden hose for several minutes before filling the hot tub spa. This will flush out
stagnant water possibly harboring bacteria.
6. Begin filling the hot tub. We recommend filling the hot tub to approximately the pillow bo om. During the filling
process periodically check the unions to ensure they are ght and no water is leaking out.
7. Once the hot tub is filled, turn the circuit breaker on. The spa will turn on and start the circula on pump.
8. It may be necessary to bleed air from the pump or pumps on your spa, if a er start up your spa pumps do not
operate. Due to the nature of water flow and hydrotherapy pumps, please be advised that air locking of pumps may
occur. PDC Spas has taken measures to reduce the possibility of this, but it s ll may occur, especially a er refilling a
hot tub. This is not a service covered under warranty. To relieve an airlock situa on, loosen the Ultra Massage
Selector™ (diverter) by removing the handle, loosen top by turning counter‐clockwise. You may possibly hear air come
out when it is loosened, a er a few seconds ghten. Turn the pump on to see if proper jet flow has been achieved.
If proper jet flow has not been achieved, repeat process.
9. Open air regulators allowing maximum flow through jets assuring pump opera on.
10. Refer to Control sec on for hea ng, filtra on cycles and func on for the model / series of your hot tub.
11. Adjust water chemistry according to the instruc ons provided in water chemistry guidelines sec on.
