Page 11: Location And Installation
LOCATION AND INSTALLATION Proper planning is an important consideration when installing your new spa / hot tub. Site selection is a critical step and requires serious thought. Planning ahead makes the installation process easier. The following information is provided to assist you in site preparation. Always comply with local building codes and obtain any necessary permits.
Page 12: Site Preparation
SITE PREPARATION ABOVE-GROUND INSTALLATIONS Where the hot tub is a “stand-alone” above-ground installation to be installed in regions where freeze/thaw conditions may occur, a level patio stone or pre-formed paver type base may be sufficient if there is no abutting deck(s) that could be damaged during potential seasonal movement of the ground.
Page 13 FILLING When adding water for the first time, the hot tub should be filled through the skimmer opening (helps to prevent air locks) using a standard garden hose, turning the tap on slowly to prevent damage to the surface by a jerking hose connection. Fill the hot tub to the recommended level, approximately just under the pillow.

Page 15: Hot Tub Water Balance - General Overview
HOT TUB WATER BALANCE – GENERAL OVERVIEW NOTABLE POINTS • The reliability and longevity of your hot tub support equipment are directly related to how well water quality is maintained! • The small volume of water in your hot tub is easily affected by the introduction of oils, lotions, perspiration and chemicals.
Page 16: Safety Instructions For Products
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PRODUCTS WARNING C HEMICAL HANDLING SAFETY HINTS INITIAL WATER FILL & BALANCE Never pre-mix chemicals with each other prior to adding to hot tub water.  Add only one chemical to the water at a time.  Always add chemicals to water and not vice-versa.
Page 17: Water Chemistry
WATER CHEMISTRY DEFOAMER – removes foam build-up from the water surface. At best, this is a temporary remedy, as excessive foam is merely a symptom of improper water balance (typically high organic residue and/or high pH). SEQUESTERANTS (STAIN AND SCALE CONTROLLERS) – keeps dissolved metals and minerals in the water from attacking the hot tub shell and support equipment components.

Page 21: Routine Hot Tub Maintenance
ROUTINE HOT TUB MAINTENANCE Tip: Check with your insurer that your spa is an insurable. REVIEW CHEMICAL HANDLING SAFETY HINTS DAILY EVERY DAY OR AT LEAST 3 TIMES A WEEK 1 Test water, and if necessary, add shock. 2 Ensure proper water level is maintained. WEEKLY 1 Test pH and Alkalinity.
Page 22: Closing Procedure
CLOSING PROCEDURE If you choose not to use your spa during the winter, you must continue to maintain it until closing. Keeping the water clean longer helps to minimize dirt build-up and bacteria formation and thus avoid any risk of possible contamination. To protect the equipment from frost and keep the water clear, never stop the filtration system before closing the spa.
