4. Pull the wires/cable through the conduit and through the cutout of the equipment control pack.
Secure the wires/cable with a 1" strain relief. Make sure only the uncut sheathing is clamped at
this opening.
5. Connect the wires to the proper terminals as indicated on the sticker.
6. Secure the wire connections. Push the wires into the equipment control pack.
7. Close the equipment control pack door and tighten the 2 screws.
8. Electrical hook up is now complete. Do not re-attach the front center cabinet panel yet.
DO NOT TURN ON THE POWER TO THE SPA WHEN THE SPA IS EMPTY OR PARTIALLY FILLED.
1. Ensure the circuit breaker to the spa is off.
2. Rotate all the jets in the spa to a counterclockwise position (fully open position).
3. Ensure the gate valves are fully open. Pull the "T" handle on the gate valve (located near the jet
pump) all the way up. When opened, there will be approximately 2" (5 cm) of metal rod visible.
Each pump is supplied with one valve.
4. Check the heater unions, pump unions, and pump plugs to assure that they are tight to prevent the
possibility of leakage in the equipment bay.
5. Close and cap the hose bib located in the center of the equipment compartment. This is used for
draining the spa.
6. Fill the spa with water to a level of approximately 5" (13 cm) below the top of spa. To prevent the
pumps being air locked, it is recommended to fill the water at the filter bucket area.
7. Turn on the circuit breaker. The upper control panel display will alternate between the clock and
three dashes ---. The system takes up to 3 minutes to register the water temperature. The
display will then alternate between the clock and the water temperature. Set the desired
temperature by using the Up or Down arrow key.
8. Press the Pump1 key twice to turn pump #1 on high speed. Observe to ensure adequate water
flow. Press the Pump2 key to turn on pump #2 (if equipped). Observe to ensure adequate water
flow. Press the Pump3 key to turn on pump #3 (if equipped). Observe to ensure adequate water
flow. DO NOT ALLOW THE PUMPS TO RUN FOR MORE THAN 1 MINUTE WITHOUT WATER
FLOWING OUT OF THE JETS. PUMPS WITH DRY RUN PROBLEMS WILL NOT BE COVERED
UNDER WARRANTY. If there is no water flow through the jets, the pumps need to be primed to
eliminate air lock.

•
Turn off the power to the spa.
•
Remove the handle from the jet selector valve supplied by the pump you are priming.
•
Loosen the pump union on the suction side of the pump until some water starts gushing out of
the pump union.
