Air Control Valves; Water Feature Control Vavle; Stereo System; Water Balance - L.A. Spas 2012 North American Owner's Manual

AIR CONTROL VALVES

Your spa may be equipped with air controls. The air control is an on/off valve that allows air to be
introduced into a specific jet configuration resulting in a more vigorous jet action. Turn the valve handle
clockwise to turn the air on, and counterclockwise to turn the air off. Opening the valve increases jet
pressure and closing the valve decreases the jet pressure.

WATER FEATURE CONTROL VAVLE

Your spa is equipped with two water features that provide two water streams into the center of the spa.
Turn the valve handle clockwise to turn the water features on, and counterclockwise to turn the water
features off. Water features are always supplied by pump #1.

STEREO SYSTEM

Your spa may be equipped with a stereo system. Please refer to the stereo manufacturer's owner's
manual for the operation of the stereo system.
Note: It is imperative that you keep your stereo system clean and dry. The iPod® docking station is
equipped with a door to protect the unit from moisture intrusion. Stereo equipped spas should be
protected from direct contact with water streams from irrigation systems.

damage to your spa and spa components.
