Before Adding Water Before adding water, go through these simple steps now to prevent common issues when setting up your hot tub for the first time. Verify that the following have all been rechecked. Turn off all power to the hot tub at the main breaker panel.
Page 23
Filling Your Hot Tub Now it's time to fill your hot tub with water. Do not turn on the electricity yet until the hot tub is completely filled. To properly fill your tub: Make sure that the filters (in the filtration canister) are gently screwed into place.
Page 24
Turn on the breaker and test the operation of the Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) breaker by pushing the small button. This should automatically trip the hot tub's circuit breaker. DANGER: If this breaker does not trip, immediately call your electrician. Do not use your hot tub! Only if pushing this button successfully trips this circuit breaker should you reset this breaker and proceed to the next step.
W a t e r B a l a n c i n g Note: Perform water balancing weekly and whenever your water is changed (or when the hot tub is first filled) to assure proper water condition. Once your hot tub reaches 95ºF, use our Bromine Test Strips (not included) and add the necessary chemicals (not included) to stabilize your water chemistry.
T o p s i d e C o n t r o l Programming Instructions VL600S Figure 20 – Topside Callouts for VL600S Controls Initial Start Up When your hot tub is first actuated, it will go into Priming mode, indicated by “Pr.” The priming mode will last for less than five minutes.
