FILLING YOUR SPA
Now it's time to fill your
on the electricity yet, until the
filled. To properly fill your
1. Make sure that the filters (in the filtration canister) are
gently screwed into place. Turn them clockwise until
they stop, being careful not to over-tighten them (this
avoids cracking the filter).
2. Connect a standard garden hose to a faucet with regular
cold tap water (not softened water or hot water).
The water from your hot water tank should not be used to fill the
spa / hot tub.
3. Put the pre-filter* on the other end of the hose, point the pre-filter into a suitable
drain, turn on the water, and allow any sediment to be flushed down the drain.
Once the water stream runs clear, turn off the hose.
4. Put the pre-filter (if equipped) into the filtration canister and turn on the hose.
5. Fill slowly. If too much water pressure is used, foaming water can force air into
the pipes and cause startup problems.
* Pre-filters are available at most dealers
Important: To ensure that the pump is properly primed, fill the
the filter area only.
6. Fill the spa / hot tub until the water level is about 6" below the top lip of the spa /
hot tub. Do not over fill.
Note: Every person entering a spa / hot tub displaces a given volume of water, so
adjust water level to the number of people regularly using the spa / hot tub.
Turn off the hose and check again for any small leaks.
