USING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA
The hydrotherapy spa is designed to seat two adults.
The nine thera-jets can be regulated to provide a
relaxing massage to sooth away stress, and the
strength of the water massage can be adjusted by the
air control. The hydrotherapy spa holds 200 gallons
(167 imperial gallons) of water and offers an automat-
ic, programmable heating (80°F to 104°F [21°C to
40°C]) and filtration system.
The guidelines below explain how to properly use the
hydrotherapy spa. Follow these guidelines to maintain
the hydrotherapy spa for your long-term enjoyment.
PLUGGING IN THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA
Important: The hydrotherapy spa is equipped with a
120/240V convertible electronics package. Operation
at 240V will allow the heater to run more efficiently
and less often. Conversion of the spa to 240V oper-
ation must be performed only by a qualified,
licensed electrician and must comply with all
local, state, and federal electrical codes. Please
refer to the instructions on the inside of the electronics
package for information about converting the spa to
240V operation.
Once the hydrotherapy spa is filled with water, the
power cord can be plugged in and the spa can be
turned on. Note: The first time the power cord is
plugged in, the spa will turn on automatically.
When connecting the power cord, plug the power cord
directly into a grounded circuit capable of carrying 15
or more amps. No other appliance should be on the
same circuit. Replace the power cord immediately if it
becomes damaged.
There is a Ground
Test and
Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI)
Buttons
on the end of the
power cord. Always
test the GFCI
before using the
hydrotherapy spa.
First, turn on the
spa by pressing the
jet control on the
console (see USING THE CONSOLE on page 13).
Once the unit is running, press the GFCI "test" button.
The spa should shut off. Press the "reset" button. The
spa should resume normal operation. If the spa contin-
ues to run after the "test" button is pressed, the GFCI is
damaged. Do not use the spa until the GFCI has been
repaired or replaced by a qualified electrician.

TESTING AND TREATING THE WATER
The first time you use the spa, you should test and
treat the water. You must also treat the water each
time you refill the spa. A test strip and a chemical
pack are available at your local pool and spa store.
Follow the directions carefully on the chemical pack to
test and treat the water. Always keep the chemicals
away from children and pets.
See WATER CHEMISTRY on page 13 for information
concerning proper water maintenance.
STARTING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA
Once you have tested the GFCI, you should verify the
water flow from the pumping unit. Set the air control
on the console to the lowest setting (see CONSOLE
DIAGRAM on page 13). The pumping unit will heat
the water as it pumps. Cover the hydrotherapy spa
with the spa cover. The spa cover must be tight.
(See SECURING THE SPA COVER on page 14.) The
water will heat at about 2.0°F (1°C) an hour with the
cover on. If you are using the spa indoors, and the
room temperature is maintained at 70°F (21°C), it will
take approximately 24 to 26 hours for the water to
reach the set temperature.
The temperature and water flow can be set or
changed by the controls on the console (see CON-
SOLE DIAGRAM on page 13).
