Page 11: 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 12: 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 19: 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) and heater. • Remove the cabinet panel directly below the topside controls to access the equipment compartment. - Page 20 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 21 Please refer to Topside Control Operations Guide for information on what these settings represent and how to change them. Hawkeye Manufacturing, Inc recommends setting the mode to Standard (‘St’ or ‘Std’) and the filtration setting to a two hour cycle (‘F2’ or ‘FIL2’) if the spa is being filled with treated municipal water, or setting the mode to Standard (‘St’...
- Page 22 Voila! The spa is filled, the water has been heated and treated, and the topside control has been programmed to the correct settings. There is only one thing left that the spa needs to be complete – you!

Page 23: Topside Controls
Topside Control Operations Guide Temperature Control (80ºF – 104ºF / 26ºC – 40ºC) The last measured water temperature is constantly displayed.

To change the set temperature, press a temperature button again before the display stops flashing. - Page 24 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 25: General Maintenance
Using a water softener such as SPAmonthly on a monthly basis is also recommended. Hawkeye Manufacturing, Inc strongly recommends ONEshock for use with its spas as the primary means of sanitization. ONEshock is a sanitizer that has been pre-measured for our spas in dissolvable packets. - Page 26 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 27 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 28 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 29 Maintain It - Maintaining the spa in the winter months is much the same as maintaining the spa the rest of the year. The only major addition is that the spa and GFCI needs to be 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.
