START UP PROCEDURES

Follow recommendations for site location and
electrical connection.
1. Use standard "tap water" to fill the
PowerPool™ by draping a garden hose
over the wall. Take care to wrap the metal
end of the hose with a soft cloth or set the
end of the hose in the filter canister to
protect the PowerPool™ surface from
the metal end of the hose. The metal end
of your hose can become rough or jagged
and may scratch the surface of your
PowerPool™, and this damage is not
covered under your warranty. Fill the
PowerPool™ until the water level is 2 to
2,5 cm from the top lip.
Never use "softened" water in your pool
or spa. Softened water can impact the
chemical balance of the water and lead to
degradation of metal plumbing fittings.
2. After you have assured that the
PowerPool™ is full of water and that all
plumbing valves are open, turn power on
at circuit breaker or disconnect panel.
3. Open the air controls, located on the top
lip, and cycle the jets from high to low.
Water should come from the therapy jets. If
water flow is not established, turn off jets
and see Priming Your PowerPool™
(this page).
Important: Do not operate the PowerPool™
without full water flow.

4. Add chemicals. See Chemical Treatment
and Water Maintenance section. Follow
Operating Instructions for your particular
model to set heat to the desired
temperature. Initially, you may find that the
PowerPool™ requires 18 to 24 hours on
230 Volt installations to reach temperature.
Keep your thermal cover on the unit and
close the air controls to help the heating
process.

Priming Your PowerPool™

When filling your PowerPool™ for the first
time or, after draining and refilling the
PowerPool™, you may need to bleed air from
the system. Should you experience an air-lock
on Pump 1, remove the filter basket cover,
insert a garden hose through the center
hole of the filter as far as possible without
using force. Hold the hose in place and
turn on the water. This forces water into the
pump and forces the air out.
