Filling Your Spa - Sunrise spas Spas Owner's Manual

FILLING YOUR SPA

Okay, your new spa has been connected to the power and you have a basic understanding of how the
equipment works and what the jets can do for you. We know you are anxious to fill the spa and get it
started, but please read this section carefully before you fill your spa.
1) Make certain that the breaker or fuse(s) that supplies your spa equipment is off.
2) Wash the spa surface thoroughly with warm water and a soft cloth only to remove any construction
or transportation debris.
3) Check that the drain connection is closed.
4) Check that the unions on the spa pack and pump(s) are tight. They can loosen during
transportation.
5) Remove the filter cartridges.
6) Begin filling the spa with a standard garden hose. Do not fill your spa with soft water (consult
dealer). If possible, your source fill water temperature should not be less than 70°F (21°C). Do Not
operate the spa with low water levels. A level 4" over the bottom of the skimmer mouth is
recommended. Maximum initial water level should be 6" below the spa lip. Adjust as needed based
on number of bathers using the spa. Consider adding an overflow to your spa if you are regularly
having enough bathers in the spa to significantly raise the water level such that damage to
equipment may occur.
7) Increase the fill pressure slowly to prevent surface damage by a jerking hose.
8) Visually check all lines for leaks and correct immediately. If you cannot stop the leak simply by
tightening a union or resetting an "O" ring or gasket, contact your dealer immediately.
9) Turn on the main power at your electrical panel.
10) The topside control panel will initialize and begin its' start-up procedure. Then the system will start
the circulation pump(or low speed pump) and the heater.
11) Re-install the filter cartridges.
IMPORTANT: Now, read about the keypad operation, user settings, system defaults, automatic
functions and display messages included in this manual (see User Guide in the Index). Take a
few minutes to try the various keys and features on your new spa. For your convenience the
User Guide is located at the end of Part B of this Owner's Manual.
Once you feel comfortable with the operation of your spa's controls, set the temperature to the desired
level (100°F/38°C is an excellent starting point). Close the air controls and cover the spa with your hard
cover. Heat up times will vary based on volume of water in the spa, but you can generally expect 6-8
hours to reach maximum temperature. Spas running on 120VAC will have a longer initial heat-up time.
Always view the temperature display before entering the water. For your own personal safety,
do not enter when the temperature exceeds the maximum set point of 40°C (104°F).
