INITIAL SWIM SPA SETUP
WATCH HOW-TO VIDEOS:
SETUP STEPS
1.
Put swim spa in final position that allows for access to equipment and swim spa components.
2.
Remove skirt panels "A" and "B" to access the electrical connections inside the swim spa.
The junction box (MP Swim Spas Only), swim spa control system(s) and majority of the
equipment in your swim spa can be accessed by removing access panels "A" and "B". See
Equipment Access Panel in Glossary of Swim Spa Terminology for diagram.
3.
Be sure all pump and heater unions are secure. Each pump has
2 unions and the heater has 2 unions. A newly delivered swim
spa may have loose unions caused in transporting the swim
spa. Check that all slice valves are open, in the up position. The
slice valves may become closed during transportation of the
swim spa.
4.
Fill swim spa at least 1" above the filters or to the minimum water level indication sticker.
This sticker is typically located on the shell of the swim spa near the filter area. On the
Momentum swim spa model with a clear acrylic divider, it is recommended that the swim side
be filled first and then the spa side. When draining the swim spa always drain the spa side
before draining the swim side.
NOTE: In below freezing temperatures, caution should be taken when planning to install a
swim spa and fill it with water. As it takes time for the water to fill the swim spa and
reach the proper minimum water level, the water entering the various plumbing lines
and equipment may begin to freeze up when done in winter weather conditions.
This could result in pumps being seized until thawed or other potentially worse freeze
damage occurring to the equipment and plumbing lines.
5.
Turn on power to the swim spa. If your swim spa is equipped with two electrical supplies,
make sure that they are both turned on. The swim spa will go through its priming mode. This
lasts approximately 5 minutes. The purpose of the priming mode is to help insure that the jet
pumps have been primed with water and are ready to operate. It may be necessary in some
instances to bleed air from the jet pumps in your swim spa. If after the priming mode the
swim spa pumps run but do not move water, the pump may have an air lock.
Due to the nature of water flow and hydro-therapy pumps, please be advised that air locking
of pumps may occur. Master Spas has taken measures to reduce the possibility of this, but
it still may occur, especially after filling the swim spa. This is not a service covered by the
warranty and service charges may apply. See next page for instructions on how to relieve an
airlock.
