Operation Of Beachcomber Hot Tub Interior Features - Beachcomber Hot Tubs 160 Owner's Manual

OPERATION OF HOT TUB INTERIOR FEATURES
Massage Inserts, or "Jets"
The jets in a Beachcomber hot tub are known as
Energ-Jets™1-small, 2-medium and 3-large. They
are interchangeable within the same sizes. Simply
turn them counterclockwise until they click and pop
out. To re-install, line up the small protrusion on the
back of the face plate with the slot on the white
water port and then turn clockwise and push in until
they click in. The jets can also be individually turned
off/on. Simply turn clockwise to turn off the water
flow and counterclockwise to turn on water flow.
Neck jets on model 350 pull out to turn on, push
back in to turn off. To turn on the neck jet on 500
and 700 series hot tubs turn counterclockwise to
turn on and clockwise to turn off. If this jet does not
turn off then carefully pry the face plate off with a
flat head screw driver and then screw the internal
portion back in by hand. Then pop the face plate
back on and turn it clockwise to tighten in the
internal portion.
Air Control Valves
There are two air control valves located on either
side of the touch pad. See Figure 7. In the six
o'clock position they are off, meaning no air can be
drawn to the jets. To allow air to be drawn in, turn
the lever to the 2 o'clock position. On 300, and 500
series hot tubs the left air control services the seat
jets on the left of the hot tub and jets in the foot
well. The right air control services seat jets on the
right side of the hot tub. On the 350 model and 500
series hot tubs with the RFM (Reflex Foot Massage)
option, the left air control services the RFM jets
when the water flow is diverted to them and the
right air control services all the seat jets. On 700
series the left air control services seat jets on the
right side of the hot tub, the right air control services
foot jets and the remainder of the seat jets on the
left side of the hot tub. On 700 series hot tubs with
the RFM option, the right air control will service the
RFM jets in the foot well if water is diverted to them
or the seat jets on the left of the hot tub if the water
flow is diverted to them.
On all models more air is drawn in when the jet
pump is on high speed than when the pump is on
low speed.
Figure 7
RFM Diverter Valve (optional feature)
The purpose of this valve is to divert water flow
between either the RFM foot jets or the seat jets. On
700 series hot tubs it diverts water flow from mas-
sage 2 pump between the RFM foot jets or the seat
jets on the left side of the hot tub. See Figure 8.
Always turn the pump to low speed or off before
attempting to turn the valve handle. Failure to do
this could cause the handle to break due to the high
velocity of water moving through the valve. We rec-
ommend that when the hot tub is not being used
that the handle be left in the center position. This
ensures that water in both zones is always turned
over during periods of non use.
Hot Tub Light
All Beachcomber hot tubs come with a standard 11
watt, 12 volt incandescent under water light. On 700
series hot tubs the light output is variable from high
to medium to low.
