  • Page 2: Save These Instructions

    IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS! Read the entire owner’s manual & safety instructions before operating the spa. When installing the spa, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following: WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times by adults.
  • Page 3 WARNING – To reduce the risk of injury: Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for caus- ing fetal damage during the early months of pregnancy, pregnant women should limit spa water tempera- tures to 100°F (38°C). WARNING – To reduce the risk of injury: Before entering a spa, the user should check the water temperature with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of water temperature-regulating devices can vary and not reflect the proper temperature.
  • Page 4 SPA SAFETY PRECAUTIONS: Always enter and exit a spa slowly. Do not use the spa alone. Use a licensed electrician to make all electrical connections. Maintain water chemistry as described in this handbook. Persons with longer hair should use a bathing cap. DO NOT allow anyone to stand on the spa cover.

  • Page 8: Letter To The Owner

    Letter to the Owner Thank you for choosing to own a Hawkeye or Barefoot Spa! You have just made a wonderful investment towards your health and well being. For nearly a quarter century Hawkeye Manufacturing, Inc has been dedicated to designing the highest quality spas on the market.

  • Page 9: Health Benefits

    Health Benefits The health benefits attributable to the spa are both mental and physical. The heat, buoyancy, and massaging characteristics of the spa work together to produce a euphoric sense of comfort and relaxation. Stress and Stress-Related Conditions Sitting in hot water causes endorphins to be released, which melts away the aches and pains. The massaging characteristics of the strategically placed jets together with the heat of the water alleviates the tension and allows the body to more effectively cleanse the carbon dioxide in its muscles (CO2 is what gives muscles the fatigued sensation).

  • Page 10: First Things First

    First Things First – Where to Locate The Spa Choosing where to place the spa requires careful consideration. The spa must be installed on a sturdy, flat surface. A concrete slab at least four inches thick is recommended. If the spa is going to be placed on a deck, it must have a load capacity of at least 90lbs per square foot.

  • Page 11: Electrical Wiring

    Electrical Wiring NOTE: ALL ELECTRICAL WORK MUST BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN AND MEET THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE REQUIREMENTS. PLEASE HAVE THE ELECTRICIAN REFER TO THIS SECTION OF THE MANUAL BEFORE INSTALLING THE ELECTRICAL SERVICE. THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES ARE NECESSARY FOR PROPER FUNCTIONALITY OF THE SPA.

 Pump - Propels water throughout the spa.

  • Page 17: Initial Operating Procedures

    Initial Operating Procedures Filling the Spa Please take the following precautionary measures before filling the spa: • Make sure the electrical service is shut off at the breaker. This will prevent accidental damage to the pump(s) • Remove the cabinet panel directly below the topside controls to access the equipment compartment.
  • Page 18 System Initialization Sequence The spa will enter into a program sequence when it first receives power. The system will perform a self-diagnostic sequence and flash random sequences of numbers on the topside display. This process will last approximately 30 seconds. Next the spa will enter its Program Mode (the topside display will read ‘Pr’).
  • Page 19 Configuring System Settings Now is a good time to configure the system’s mode and filtration cycle setting. The spa has three modes: Standard, Economy, and Sleep. Each mode represents different parameters for which the spa will heat the water. The spa also has five filtration cycle settings: two, four, six, eight, or continuous filtration.
  • Page 20 The next step is to check the water’s Chlorine, Alkalinity, and pH levels using the Insta-Test strips provided in the Startup Kit. Follow the directions on the container and compare the colors. Extra chemicals treatments may be necessary if the water chemistry is out of balance (Please refer to Troubleshooting –...

  • Page 21: Topside Controls

    Topside Control Operations Guide Temperature Control (80ºF – 104ºF / 26ºC – 40ºC) The last measured water temperature is constantly displayed. The water temperature displayed is current only when the pump has been running for at least two minutes. To display the set temperature, press ‘Warm’ or ‘Cool’ once. To change the set temperature, press a temperature button again before the display stops flashing.
  • Page 22 Filter Cycle The first preset filter cycle begins six minutes after the spa is energized. The second preset filter cycle begins twelve hours later. Filter duration is programmable for two, four, six, or eight hours or for continuous filtra- tion (indicated by ‘FILC’ or ‘FC’). To program the filter cycle, press ‘Warm’...

  • Page 23: General Maintenance

    General Maintenance Maintaining Clean and Balanced Water The water chemistry of a spa must be maintained to assure its cleanliness. Failure to do so leads to unsanitary water, which is unpleasant and potentially dangerous to both the user(s) and the spa itself. Maintaining the spa water’s chemistry includes maintaining its chlorine (or bromine) levels, its total alkalinity, and its pH.
  • Page 24 Maintaining the Water Level It is normal for the spa to lose approximately one inch of water per week. The water loss is due to evaporation and run off from people exiting the spa. Please be mindful of this and add water as necessary.
  • Page 25 Cleaning the Plumbing It is important to clean out the plumbing before draining the spa. The dirt, oils, and cleaning chemicals that cloud and foam up the water will remain in the spa’s pipes – that is, unless they are cleaned out before the spa is drained. To do this, pour a bottle of PIPEcleanser into the spa and turn the jets on (If there is more than one ‘Jets’...
  • Page 26 Cleaning the Spa Shell Remember the oils, dirt, and cleaning chemicals that needed to be removed from the plumbing of the spa? Those same residues need to be cleaned from the surface of the spa’s acrylic or plastic shell. Spray the Shell & Liner Cleaner generously on the acrylic or plastic and wipe off with a soft cloth.
  • Page 27 checked on a daily basis to make sure it is receiving power. The spa is constantly monitoring the temperature of the water and will automatically activate the pump(s) and heating element if it registers freezing or near-freezing conditions. Drain the spa immediately if it loses power for an extended period of time.
