INSTALLATION AND QUICK START UP GUIDE
Follow these instructions for quick and easy start up of your new InnovaSpa. If you have questions concerning
start up, contact your dealer or InnovaSpa directly for help.
OUTDOOR INSTALLATION
If you are going to install your spa outdoors, select a solid, level surface to place it on. The bottom of your spa is
totally protected and it will not rot. Special preparation, such as a concrete pad or wood deck, is not mandatory,
although they make very suitable bases. If installing your spa on a wood deck, ensure that the deck is built to
code and that it will withstand the filled weight of the spa. When full, your spa will weigh approximately 90 lbs.
(41kg) per square foot. Ensure that you do not install your spa underneath overhead power lines.
INDOOR INSTALLATION
If you are going to install your spa indoors, you should ensure that your doorway is at least 36 inches (91 cm)
wide. The location where you intend to place your spa should be equipped with adequate ventilation, to remove
chemical odors and added humidity, and adequate drainage to handle splashing and in case of a spa leak. It is
not recommended to install your spa above a ground level floor.
INSTALLATION
1 Move your new spa to the location where it will be installed. Leave a minimum of 18 inches (46 cm) of space
at each end of the spa and around the sides. This ensures that you have access to components and that the
traditional or hard cover will open properly.
2 If you plan to operate your spa using a 110 volt electrical supply, remove the 15' electrical cord, with attached
GFCI, that is located inside the equipment cabinet. This cord is already connected to your spa equipment and
it must be plugged into a dedicated, 15 amp wall outlet. Do not plug the cord into a GFCI protected wall
outlet. Two inline GFCI's in the same circuit will cause nuisance tripping. Replace a GFCI protected
wall outlet with a regular outlet. Do not plug the cord into your electrical outlet until you have
completed Step 4 and your spa is full of water. If you plan to operate your spa using a 220 volt electrical
supply, you will be required to install a 220 volt, 50 amp GFCI breaker and to connect your spa to your GFCI
breaker and to your house electrical panel using 6 AWG / 3 wire plus a ground wire. It is recommended that
you use a certified electrician to install your GFCI breaker and to connect your spa to your house electrical
panel. If your spa is 220 volt, only, no equipment pack conversion is required. If your spa contains a 110/220
volt convertible spa pack, instructions to convert the pack from 110 volt to 220 volt are located on the inner
wall of the removable cover of the equipment pack. Ensure that the 220 volt breaker is disconnected until
you have completed Step 4 and your spa is full of water.
3 Remove the access panel at the end of the spa with your equipment (the top side control is located on this
end) to expose the pump and equipment pack. Check the unions to the pump and to the heater manifold on
the equipment pack to ensure that they are tight. Vibration during shipping may cause them to loosen. Do
not over tighten these unions with channel locks. You could crack or damage them. It is also
recommended that you check these unions regularly. Pump vibration can cause them to loosen and this can
cause a leak. Ensure that any gate valves are in their open position and that the shut off valve on the drain
hose assembly is closed. Remove the cover of the equipment pack by loosening the two screws at the top of
the pack. Near the bottom of the circuit board, you will see a small red panel with 10 white DIP switches.
These switches should be factory set, however, you should ensure that they are properly set for 110 volt or
220 volt as shown in Fig. 1 and Fig 2 below. Replace the equipment pack cover.
