SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT SAVE THESE INSTRUCTION Your physiological response to hot water is subjective and depends on your age, health, and medical history. If you don’t know your tolerance to hot water, or if you get a headache, or become dizzy or nauseous when using your hot tub, get out and cool off immediately.

If you don’t know your tolerance to hot water, or if you get a headache, or become dizzy or nauseous when using your hot tub, get out and cool off immediately.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT LOCATION Your Hydropool hot tub can be installed indoors or out, on the ground, in the ground or half-and-half. The following information will assist you in choosing the right location for your individual needs. When making your decision, always remember that hot tubs can be enjoyed year-round, indoors or out, regardless of the climate.
2. Ensure that your HYDROPOOL hot tub is properly supported by either a level concrete pad, or a properly constructed deck capable of supporting 1220 kg/m2 (250 lbs/ft2). If there is a possibility that the pad could shift by freezing / thawing ground movement (such as in clay regions, and/or areas with high water tables) concrete footings extending below the frost line are recommended.
The hot tub support equipment is designed for indoor (out of direct elements) use. When your HYDROPOOL hot tub is equipped with a factory-installed cabinet, and installed as per the guidelines of this manual, the equipment will be adequately protected. If the hot tub is shipped without a cabinet, your custom cabinet or other structure must be designed to supply protection for the hot tub support equipment from rain, snow, splash water, etc., bit still be designed in a manner to ensure adequate...
For units being installed fully or partially in the ground, the type of support will again vary based on whether or not the tub is being installed in an area with freeze/thaw conditions. Hydropool does not recommend back- filling full in-ground or partial in-ground installations.
Most Hydropool models require a clearance width of at least 100 cm (39 inches) to allow movement of the unit on its side through alley-ways, fence openings, etc. Where this is not possible, the use of a crane to lift the hot tub from the truck or trailer over the house to the patio or yard is often a simple and economical option.
This guide is for standard installations where the wire run is 15m (50 feet) or less. For longer runs, consult a qualified electrician. GFCI/RCD APPLICATION GUIDE FOR HYDROPOOL SERENITY SERIES NORTH AMERICA SE4L / SE5L models 4300 / 4500/ 6600 models...

Follow the control instructions for your particular model hot tub to put the pump into low speed see section HYDROPOOL CONTROL SYSTEMS PUMP PRIMING / RELEASING AN AIR LOCK. On some systems a message will appear on the display indicating that the system is in PUMP PRIMING MODE (“RUN PMPS PURG AIR”).
O-RING / GASKET AT THE UNION STARTING (continued) The water should start circulating immediately. If the motor works but if you do not notice water circulating within the first 15 seconds, the pump may require priming due to trapped air (referred to as an ‘air lock’). If the pumps have not self-primed after 2 minutes and water is not flowing from the jets, DO NOT allow the pumps to continue to run.

OPTIONAL HYDROCLEAR PUREWATER SYSTEM HOW IT WORKS This system combines the benefits of both Ozone and UV-C sanitization utilizing a patented UV Chamber to both inject ozone into the water, mix it and then expose it to powerful UV-C rays, all-in-one. This process not only kills and deactivates microorganisms in the water it passes, but also creates a powerful hydroxyl radical to burn off contaminants and dissolved solids within the water to significantly increase the clarity of the spa water.
For these reasons, it is very important to develop proper hot tub water maintenance habits and follow your Hydropool retailer’s recommended water maintenance procedures. Heater and other component failure due to improper water balance is not covered under warranty.
4) Add sanitizing tablets (Bromine or Chlorine) to the dispenser: Built in dispenser: if your Hydropool hot tub was ordered with the optional built in bromine/chlorine dispenser, (located under the basket of the cartridge filter housing), refer to section CARTRIDGE FILTER for details on removing and re-installing the lid.
GLOSSARY OF COMMON WATER MAINTENANCE TERMS 1. CHLORINE – in granular, liquid or puck/tablet form, is an oxidant and biocidal agent. It is very effective and fast acting. Recommended chlorine residual level is 3.0 to 5.0 ppm. 2. CHLORAMINES – a compound formed when chlorine combines with nitrogen or ammonia present in the water.

Soak your filter cartridge in a filter cartridge cleaning solution. Rinse thoroughly and, if possible, allow to dry before re-installing. Hydropool recommends purchasing a second filter so that while the first is cleaning, the other is clean and ready to install.
7. A cleaning cylinder may be purchased from your HYDROPOOL Hot tub Retailer. 8. Rinse thoroughly and dry before replacing. 9. Hydropool recommends purchasing a spare filter cartridge so that you always have a clean substitute ready to rotate. 10. After the element has dried - if necessary, lightly brush between pleats with a fine paint-brush to remove remaining dirt particles.
SERENITY FILTER GRILL AND LEAF BAG On the back of each Serenity filter grill is a leaf bag that is utilized to catch any surface debris and to extend the life of the filter cartridge. The leaf bag is attached the back of the grill with clips that are screwed into the grill and the loop holes on the leaf bag slip onto each hook on the clips.

When a hot tub is uncovered, over 90% of heat is lost from the water surface. This evaporation also affects the chemical balance and could create humidity problems indoors. HYDROPOOL Safety Hard Covers are engineered for maximum thermal efficiency and appearance. They are hinged in the middle for easier handling, and the zip fastener allows the tapered foam inserts to be changed if damaged.
The exclusive Soft Stride Floor System is available as a standard feature on the 4300, 4500, 5900, 6600, 6800 and 6900 Serenity models to provide a better grip, traction and comfort on both the steps and floor of the spa.
In the event that you do not wish to use your hot tub year-round, it is very important that you properly winterize to protect against damage from freezing. Your HYDROPOOL retailer can perform this service for a nominal fee. If you choose to winterize your hot tub yourself, please follow the directions outlined below: Drain the hot tub entirely see section - DRAINING YOUR HOT TUB ...
Should this occur or if the display shows partial messages, try resetting the system by turning power to the hot tub off, waiting a few minutes, then turning power on again. If this does not reset the system, contact your local Hydropool retailer or service organization. …POWER FAILURE OR SYSTEM FAULT DURING COLD WEATHER CONDITIONS If your control system will not reset, (ie.
