Please read this “Owner’s Manual” carefully, as it is designed to provide you with the information you will need to ensure the safe, secure use of your new hot tub. IMPORTANT: Freeflow Products & Freeflow Spas Incorporated reserves the right to change specifications or design without notification and without any obligation.
PLANNING A LOCATION FOR YOUR HOT TUB Consider these things when determining where to place your new hot tub. SAFETY FIRST: Do not place the hot tub within 10 feet (3m) of overhead power lines. Make sure your hot tub is positioned so access to the equipment compartment and side panels will not be blocked.
A Good Foundation Your new hot tub needs a good solid foundation. The area your hot tub sits on must be able to support the tub, the water in it and those who use it. If the foundation is inadequate, it may shift or settle after the hot tub is in place, causing stress to the shell or components.
Important Safety Instructions It is the hot tub owner’s responsibility to read and follow all the instructions and precautions described in this manual. Failure to do so may result in personal injury. Liability rests with the hot tub owner. Please, make instructions available for reference by all hot tub users.

HEAT RECORVERY SYSTEM CLX MODEL Initial start-up Your “Heat Recovery” control has been specifically designed so that by simply connecting the spa to its properly grounded source, the control will automatically heat the water to the set temperature. Temperature Adjustment (60F-104F) The current temperature is constantly displayed on the LED.
How Heat Recovery Works Unlike units equipped with a 4kW electric heater built into the system the heat recovery system has been developed to make use of heat generated from the hot tub pump motor. Water passes through a heat jacket wrapped around the outside of the pump motor collecting the natural heat generated by the motor and recycling that heat back into the hot tub.
Feature Operations AIR CONTROL VALVE (when equipped) If your hot tub is installed with an Air Control Valve (Units equipped with a whirlpool will have two air control valves. The additional air control is for the whirlpool on TLX and Legend models) the location will vary depending on the model. The air control valve serves to regulate the amount of air mixed with the water when the jets are operational.
Fill Up and Start Instructions The following procedures should be followed on initial startup and whenever the hot tub is drained for routine maintenance. FILLING THE HOT TUB WITH WATER 1. Clear all the debris from your hot tub. 2. Use a garden hose to fill your hot tub with water. NOTE: do not use home water heater or softened water.
Freeflow Spas strongly discourages the use of chemicals that contain Hydrogen Peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide will eventually cause the light body and lenses (used on all spas) to become brittle and crack.
Cleaning or Winterizing Every three to six months, depending upon the water condition, you may need to renew your water. CAUTION: READ THIS BEFORE DRAINING YOUR HOT TUB To prevent damage to the hot tub’s components, turn off power to the spa at the circuit breaker before draining the hot tub.
Spa Maintenance FILTER CARTRIDGE MAINTENANCE Freeflow hot tubs use a screw in filter cartridge that is easily removed. When the filter cartridge is removed, make sure no objects fall into the filter cavity. They can cause obstructions to the water movement. Every two weeks, the filter cartridge must be cleaned to remove the objects and particles that have lodged in the cartridge pleats.
Check with your dealer or Freeflow for the correct replacement part. SHELL COLOR AND APPEARANCE Your hot tub shell has been designed to have the appearance of natural granite. Freeflow Spas uses a technique which produces a unique look to every hot tub finish. Natural granite is not consistent in appearance and your hot tub will duplicate that natural look.
Troubleshooting Procedures In the event your Freeflow hot tub is not working the way it should, please first review all the installation and operating instructions in this manual and check the message on the panel display. If you are still not satisfied it is working properly, please follow the appropriate troubleshooting instructions.
Disclaimers Freeflow Spas or any of its authorized agents shall not be held liable for injury or loss of use of your spa or other incidental and consequential cost, expense or damage, whether incidental or consequential, arising out of any defect covered by this Limited Warranty, including, without limitation, loss of use of the spa and cost of removal of defective product, even if Freeflow Spas has been advised of the possibility of such damage.
