Getting Started - Laguna Bay Spas Spa Owner's Manual

Getting Started

Place a garden hose into the empty filtration canister
and turn the water
on. Water will begin filling the low lying plumbing lines inside the spa cabinet.
When the plumbing lines are full, water will begin to fill the spa from foot
well, upward Filling the spa in this manner will allow the pumps and internal
plumbing to fill with water, reducing the risk of an air lock in the pumps(s) when
power is applied.
Continue filling the spa until the water level
is approximately 4 inches over
the top of the filtration canister of the spa. Over filling your spa will not allow
room for water to displace when people enter the spa and will cause the spa to
overflow. Under filling the spa will not allow the water to flow properly through
the water lines and pumps causing a potential air lock or damage to the pumps
and heater. Damage that occurs because of improper water levels is not covered
under the manufacturer's warranty.
Remove the garden hose and turn the water off.
Replace the filter, skimmer
basket and floating weir. Check for leaks inside the cabinet of the spa, especially
at the unions for plumbing and heaters and hand tighten if necessary.
If the spa is leaking and the unions are tight, do not turn the GFCI on. Call
a technical service associate at 877-722-4097 for assistance and repair before
applying power to the spa.
After your electrician has successfully connected power
to the spa, turn the
GFCI "on". Before reinstalling the spa cabinet, turn the spa jets on in accordance
with the topside control instructions for your spa model. Check to be certain
water is circulating through all jets, that the diverter valves and air controls are
functioning properly. Verify there are no leaks inside the spa cabinet. If the spa
is functioning properly and there are no leaks inside the spa cabinet, reinstall the
spa cabinet.
Re-Filling your Spa with Water
Follow these instructions step by step
each time you re-fill the spa to ensure
successful start up
Each time you fill your spa,
it is a good idea to check the condition of the locks
on the slice valves to ensure they are intact and not damaged. At the same time
you should check to be sure that all plumbing unions are hand tightened. You
should not re-install the spa cabinet until the spa has been filled and power has
been applied. The cabinet should only be replaced after you have checked for
leaks inside the spa cabinet and are sure all the pumps, jets, diverters and air
valves are in proper working order.
If you need to replace the screws on the cabinet,
they should be replaced
only with stainless steel screws which will not rust. If you would like to order
screws that are painted to match your spa cabinet, please call a technical support
representative at 877-722-4097 during normal business hours.
