Important Safety Instructions  
WARNING:  
To reduce the risk of drowning, electric shock, or serious injury, read the fol-  
lowing important precautions before using the hydrotherapy spa.  
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS  
1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure  
that all users of the hydrotherapy spa are  
adequately informed of all precautions.  
10. Never insert any object into any opening.  
11. Do not use breakable containers in or near  
the hydrotherapy spa.  
2. Use the hydrotherapy spa only as described  
in this manual.  
12. Do not sit on the spa cover or place objects  
on it; it is not designed to support weight.  
3. The hydrotherapy spa is intended for home  
use only. Do not use the spa in a commercial,  
rental, or institutional setting.  
13. Remove any water or debris that may collect  
on the spa cover.  
14. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets  
away from the hydrotherapy spa when it is  
not in use.  
4. Use the hydrotherapy spa only on a level sur-  
face. Do not use the spa on carpet or other  
materials that could be damaged by moisture.  
15. Keep all chemicals away from children and  
pets.  
5. The hydrotherapy spa will weigh approxi-  
mately 2,900 pounds when it is filled with  
water. Make sure that the location you select  
for the spa will support this weight, plus the  
weight of the occupants.  
16. The pH and chemical balance of the water  
must be maintained as explained in this man-  
ual (see pages 10 and 14). Failure to do so  
may cause injury to users or damage to the  
hydrotherapy spa, and will void the warranty.  
6. Inspect and tighten all parts regularly.  
Replace any worn parts immediately.  
17. Individuals with infections and open sores or  
wounds should not use the hydrotherapy  
spa. Bacteria thrive in warm and hot water.  
Always keep your spa disinfected and main-  
tain the proper chemical balance.  
7. DANGER—Risk of injury: Do not remove or  
alter the covers on the suction fittings. Never  
operate the hydrotherapy spa if the suction  
guard is missing or broken. If you need to  
replace a suction fitting or pump, make sure  
you use only manufacturer recommended  
replacement parts. Keep hair and body parts  
away from the suction guard. Do not allow  
long hair to float freely in the water; long hair  
should be restrained with a bathing cap.  
18. Shower before and after using the hydrother-  
apy spa. This will remove any deodorant, per-  
spiration, or body oils that could contaminate  
the water. Showering after will remove any  
residual chemicals and any bacteria that may  
have been in the spa.  
8. IMPORTANT: Do not allow the hydrotherapy  
spa to be exposed to direct sunlight when it  
is empty. The surface of the spa shell can  
reach temperatures as high as 150°F in a mat-  
ter of minutes if exposed to the sun while it is  
empty. These high temperatures can cause  
significant damage, such as blistering of the  
shell surface and warping of the spa shell.  
Any damage caused by sun exposure is not  
covered under the warranty.  
19. WARNING—The Ground Fault Circuit  
Interrupter (GFCI), must be tested before  
each use. To test the GFCI, press the “test”  
button while the hydrotherapy spa is running.  
The spa should shut off. Press the “reset”  
button. The spa should resume normal opera-  
tion. If the spa continues to run after the  
“test” button is pressed, then the GFCI is  
damaged. Do not use the spa until the GFCI  
has been repaired or replaced by a qualified  
electrician.  
9. Do not bring any object into the hydrotherapy  
spa that could damage the spa shell.

toms and effects of hyperthermia may be  
described as follows: Hyperthermia occurs  
when the internal temperature of the body  
reaches a level several degrees above the  
normal body temperature of 98.6°F. The symp-  
toms of hyperthermia include an increase in  
the internal temperature of the body, dizzi-  
ness, lethargy, drowsiness and fainting. The  
effects of hyperthermia include failure to per-  
ceive heat; failure to recognize the need to  
exit the spa or hot tub; unawareness of  
impending hazard; fetal damage in pregnant  
women; physical inability to exit the spa or  
hot tub and unconsciousness resulting in

Choosing a Location for the Hydrotherapy Spa  
There are many factors to consider when choosing a location to set up the hydrotherapy spa. These factors vary  
depending on whether you plan to use the spa inside or outside. We have listed several factors you may wish to  
consider as you decide where to set up the spa.  
If you set up the hydrotherapy spa inside:  
If you set up the hydrotherapy spa outside:  
1. The spa will increase the level of humidity in your  
home. The location you choose should be well  
ventilated. You may need to install a ventilation fan  
or use a dehumidifier.  
1. Check local building codes concerning the use of  
outdoor spas.  
2. The spa should be located near a 240-volt power  
source. It must be wired directly into a grounded  
circuit with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter  
(GFCI) capable of carrying 30 amps. No other  
appliance should be on the same circuit.

appliance should be on the same circuit.  
3. The spa should be close to a source of water.  
3. The spa should be close to a source of water.  
4. We recommend that you place the spa on a water-  
and stain-resistant, non-slip surface. Do not use  
the spa on rough or sharp surfaces such as gravel  
or wood chips.  
4. Do not use the spa on carpet or other material that  
may be damaged by moisture. We recommend  
that you place the spa on a water- and stain-resis-  
tant, non-slip surface with a floor drain for any  
water that may splash from the spa.  
5. Be sure that the location you choose is stable. It  
must be able to support the weight of the spa  
when it is filled with water, plus the weight of the  
occupants. The spa weighs approximately 2,900  
pounds when it is filled with water.

Using the Hydrotherapy Spa  
The hydrotherapy spa is designed to seat six adults.  
The spa holds 300 gallons of water and offers a heat-  
ing system (80°F to 104°F), a filtration system, and  
adjustable hydrotherapy jets. Follow the guidelines  
below to use and maintain the spa for your long-term  
enjoyment.  
Once you have tested the GFCI, you should verify the  
water flow from the pumping unit. Set the air control  
on the console to the lowest setting (see USING THE  
CONTROLS on page 12). The pumping unit will heat  
the water as it pumps. Cover the hydrotherapy spa  
with the spa cover. The spa cover must be tight  
(see SECURING THE SPA COVER ON THE SPA on  
this page). The water will heat at about 6°F per hour  
with the cover on. If you are using the spa indoors,  
and the room temperature is maintained at 70°F, it will  
take approximately 6 to 8 hours for the water to reach  
the set temperature.  
WIRING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA  
The hydrotherapy spa is designed to operate with a  
240-volt power source. It must be wired directly into a  
grounded circuit with a Ground Fault Circuit  
Interrupter (GFCI) capable of carrying 30 amps. No  
other appliance should be on the same circuit.  
Connection of the spa to the 240-volt power  
source must be performed by a qualified, licensed  
electrician and must comply with all local, state,  
and federal electrical codes. The qualified, licensed  
electrician can refer to the instructions on the inside of  
the electronics package for information about con-  
necting the spa to a 240-volt power source.  
The temperature and the water flow can be set or  
changed with the controls on the console (see USING  
THE CONTROLS on page 12).  
SECURING THE SPA COVER ON THE SPA  
To secure the spa cover,  
snap the latches on the spa  
cover into the buckles on the  
cedar panels.  
Latch  
Key  
Once the spa is filled with water, the power can be  
turned on. Note: The first time the power is turned on,  
the spa will start automatically.  
To lock the buckles, insert  
the key and turn it clock-  
wise 1/4 turn. To unlock the  
buckles, insert the key and  
turn it counterclockwise 1/4  
turn. Always keep the  
buckles locked when the  
spa is not in use. Keep the keys in a safe place,  
out of the reach of children.  
TESTING AND TREATING THE WATER  
The first time you use the spa, you should test and  
treat the water. You must also treat the water each  
time you refill the spa. A test strip and a chemical  
pack are available at your local pool and spa supplier.  
Follow the directions carefully on the chemical pack to  
test and treat the water. Always keep the chemicals  
away from children and pets.

use in your area to sanitize the spa.  
• Clean the spa shell at the waterline.  
• Check and thoroughly clean the filter (see CHECK-  
ING AND CLEANING THE FILTER on this page).  
• Replace the filter if needed (see ORDERING  
REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover).  
The most common sanitizing agent is a solid bromine  
concentrate. The amount required varies according to  
several factors, such as user load, temperature, water  
conditions, etc. Proper water maintenance is a com-  
plex process. We recommend that you contact your  
local pool and spa supplier for information about how  
to accomplish this.  
Monthly  
• Clean the spa cover (see MAINTAINING THE SPA  
COVER on this page).  
• Soak the filter for two hours in a trisodium phos-  
phate (TSP) solution. Rinse the filter in clean water.  
• Replace the filter if needed (see ORDERING  
REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover).  
CHECKING AND CLEANING THE FILTER  
The filter should be checked periodically for build-up  
of dirt and oil. If the filter needs to be cleaned, follow  
the steps below:  
Every Three Months  
• Drain the spa and refill it with clean water. Sanitize  
and test the pH of the water.  
• Check for any leaks around the pump or joints in  
the pipes. The seals will wear out over time; detect-  
ing leaks early can reduce repair costs.  
1. Turn off the power.  
2. Unscrew the filter  
cover.  
Filter  
Cover  
• Clean the interior of the spa. Do not use solvents or  
waxes. (See CLEANING THE SPA SHELL below.)  
3. Lift the filter out of  
the filter housing.  
4. Check the filter for  
dirt and debris. If the  
filter needs to be  
cleaned, rinse the fil-  
ter with a hose. If the  
filter is still dirty, soak  
it in cleaning solution  
from a pool and spa  
supply store.

CLEANING THE SPA SHELL  
5. Inspect the filter for  
damage. Replace  
the filter if it is dam-  
aged.  
The spa shell should be cleaned with a mild soap  
solution; do not use solvents. The spa should always  
be clean and dry before being moved or stored.  
6. Insert the cleaned or  
new filter into the filter housing.  
7. Re-attach the filter cover.

WATER CHEMISTRY  
ATTACHING AND REMOVING ACCESS PANELS  
CAUTION: The chemicals used to maintain the pH  
balance of the water and to sanitize the water can  
be dangerous. Always follow these basic guide-  
lines when handling the chemicals:  
1. Always read and follow the directions on the  
label, unless directed otherwise.  
To locate the access panels, refer to the drawing on  
page 6. Turn off the power to the spa. To remove an  
access panel, first remove the four indicated screws.  
Slide the access panel down and then pull the bottom  
of it away from the spa. Note: Be careful not to  
damage the spa shell as you remove the access  
panel.  
2. Never mix different chemicals.  
3. Do not exceed the recommended amounts of  
chemicals—follow the directions on the label.  
4. Keep all chemicals out of the reach of children  
and pets.  
5. Keep containers closed tightly when not in use.  
6. Never add water to the chemicals—always add  
the chemicals to the water as directed.  
7. Always store chemicals in a cool, dry place.  
Screws  
MAINTAINING THE PROPER PH BALANCE  
Access  
Panel  
The pH factor is a measure of the relative acidity or  
alkalinity in the water. It is measured on a scale of 1  
to 14. Pure water has a value of 7, which is neutral.  
Any value above 7 is alkaline, and any value below 7  
is acidic. You should maintain a slightly alkaline pH  
level, between 7.2 and 7.8, in the hydrotherapy spa.  
Screws  
To re-attach the access panel, insert the top of the  
access panel under the edge of the spa shell. Slide  
the access panel up until the bottom of the access  
panel clears the trim along the bottom of the spa.  
Then, slide the access panel into place and re-attach  
the four screws.  
Severe problems can occur when the pH balance is  
not maintained within this range. If the pH level  
exceeds 7.8, dissolved minerals can build up and clog  
the plumbing in the spa jet unit. If the pH level falls  
below 7.2, the acid level in the water will begin to cor-  
rode the metal parts in the spa jet unit. Also, the sani-  
tation agents in the water will not be effective if the pH  
level is not properly maintained. Damage caused by  
improper pH levels is not covered under the warranty.  
DRAINING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA  
The hydrotherapy spa should be drained at least four  
times a year and refilled with clean water. You may  
need to drain the spa more often, depending on the  
user load. This must be done because after repeated  
chemical treatment the water becomes chemically  
saturated. Once this happens, additional chemical  
treatment of the water is no longer effective. The spa  
should also be drained if you will not be using it for  
long periods of time. The spa must always be drained  
before major repairs are made.  
To maintain the proper pH level, you should test the  
pH of the water regularly. To test the water, purchase  
a pH test kit at a pool and spa supplier. The pH read-  
ing should be between 7.2 and 7.8. If the level is too  
low, add a pH increaser (usually soda ash). If the  
level is too high, add a pH reducer (usually sodium  
bisulfate). Test the water again after five minutes. See  
the instructions with your pH test kit for additional  
information about testing and adjusting the pH.  
The hydrotherapy spa should always be covered  
when it is empty. Direct sunlight can cause exten-  
sive damage. The surface of the spa shell can  
reach temperatures as high as 150°F in a matter of  
minutes if exposed to the sun while it is empty.  
These high temperatures can cause significant  
damage, such as blistering of the shell surface and  
warping of the spa shell. Any damage caused by  
sun exposure is not covered under warranty.  
CHANGING THE FILTER CYCLE  
The spa will filter the water every 12 hours. The dura-  
tion of the cycle can be adjusted to last 2–5 hours.  
Press the temp up or temp down button on the con-  
sole. When the display begins to flash, press the  
pump 1 button. The display will read F2. To change  
the time, press the temp up button until the desired  
time is reached. Press the pump 1 button to confirm  
the selection. As spa usage increases, the duration of  
the filter cycle may need to be increased.

To drain the hydrotherapy spa, follow the steps below:  
WINTER USE AND CARE  
1. Using the console, adjust the temperature to the  
lowest setting.  
The hydrotherapy spa is designed for year-round use.  
If you decide to store the spa for the winter, store it in  
a warm, dry location. Follow the steps below to winter-  
ize the spa.  
1. Drain the spa (see DRAINING THE HYDROTHER-  
APY SPA on the previous page and this page).  
2. Remove all remaining water from the spa shell. Dry  
the spa shell with towels.  
2. Shut off the power at the circuit breaker or GFCI.  
3. Remove the long access panel from the spa.  
4. Remove the end of the drain hose from the spa.  
Remove the cap and attach a garden hose to the  
drain hose.  
3. Set the air control to the lowest setting. Use a  
wet/dry vacuum to pull any remaining water from  
the system. To do this, place the vacuum nozzle  
over each jet, starting with the highest jet and fin-  
ishing with the lowest jet.  
4. Set the air control on the console to the highest  
setting and repeat step 3.  
5. Drain the pump (see DRAINING THE PUMP on  
this page). Once the water is drained from the  
pump, place the vacuum nozzle over the drainage  
hole in the pump and vacuum any additional water  
from the pump. Note: For additional protection,  
remove the pump/motor from the spa and store  
it in a climate-controlled room.

6. Clean the spa shell (see page 13).  
7. Clean the filter (see page 13).  
8. A licensed, qualified electrician should discon-  
nect the power from the 240V power source.  
9. Re-attach the access panel and the spa cover.  
5. Open the valve by turning the valve knob. The  
water will begin to drain.  
6. When the spa is empty, close the valve and  
remove the garden hose. Re-attach the cap and  
return the drain hose to the clip inside the spa.  
7. Re-attach the access panel.  
8. Refill the spa and treat the water with chemicals  
(see pages 10 and 14).  
REPLACING THE LIGHT BULB  
If the underwater light burns out, you will need to  
remove the access panel to replace it (see ATTACHING  
AND REMOVING ACCESS PANELS on page 14).  
Make sure that the power to the spa is turned off.  
Next, locate the light housing. Turn the light housing  
counterclockwise and remove it from the spa shell.  
DRAINING THE PUMP  
After the hydrotherapy  
spa is drained (see  
DRAINING THE  
HYDROTHERAPY SPA  
on page 14), the jet  
pump should also be  
drained if the spa will  
be stored for more than

thirty days or if it may  
be exposed to freezing  
temperatures.  
To replace the light bulb, pull the old light bulb out of  
the housing and insert a new light bulb. Re-attach the  
light housing to the spa shell. Re-attach the access  
panel to the spa.  
Turn off the spa power. To drain the jet pump, first  
remove the access panel from the spa unit (see  
ATTACHING AND REMOVING ACCESS PANELS on  
page 14). Locate the jet pump inside the spa. Remove  
the drain plug from the jet pump and allow all of the  
water to drain. Re-attach the drain plug.

function properly.  
4. SYMPTOM: THE PUMP HUMS, BUT DOES NOT  
ROTATE  
8. SYMPTOM: THE WATER PULSATES OR  
THERE IS MINIMUM WATER FLOW  
a. The pump may be jammed. Contact our cus-  
tomer service department. If your spa is no  
longer under warranty, contact a local spa and  
pool service provider.  
a. This usually occurs only when the water level is  
low. Add water until it is 2”–4” above the skim-  
mer basket.  
5. SYMPTOM: THE PUMP IS NOISY WHILE  
OPERATING  
b. The filter cover may not be tight. Make sure the  
filter cover is tight.

any of the plumbing. If you can identify the  
location of the leak inside the spa jet unit, tight-  
en the clamp or replace the damaged seal.  
12. SYMPTOM: THE CONSOLE DISPLAYS THE  
WORDS “COOL” OR “ICE”  
a. This is a normal function of the spa; no action  
is necessary. The word “COOL” will appear in  
the display if the temperature of the water is  
more than 20°F cooler than the set temperature.  
If this happens, the heater will automatically  
activate to warm the water. The word “ICE” will  
appear if the temperature drops below 40°F. If  
this happens, the pump will automatically circu-  
late the water and warm the plumbing.  
10. SYMPTOM: THE SPA JET UNIT CONTINUES
