Electrical Power Efciency Adjustable Jets
Your new spa comes equipped with an electric heater.
Following the directions listed below will ensure the
most efcient operation:
NOTE: This method is only for spa usage under two
hours a week.
• Keep the spa’s operating temperature 3°C (5°F)
below the desired usage temperature when not
in use. One or two hours before use, set the
temperature to the desired temperature.
• If the spa usage exceeds two hours a week, the
set temperature should remain at the desired
usage temperature.
• The air venturis should be used sparingly. When
open, water temperature drops quite rapidly and
can also dissipate chemicals.
Allowing the water temperature to lower more than
5.5°C (10°F) below the desired usage temperature
and reheating it prior to usage will cause the heater
to operate longer than it normally would maintaining
the desired temperature. Doing this will increase your
operating cost and makes your heater work more than
necessary.
Almost all of the jets in your spa are adjustable.
Rotating the face of an adjustable jet to the left
(counter-clockwise) will decrease the amount of
water ow through the jet. Rotating the face of an
adjustable jet to the right (clockwise) will increase
the amount of water ow through the jet. (See
example shown below.)
Neck jets adjust in the opposite directions (counter-
clockwise to increase, clockwise to decrease).
LED Lighting
Press the LIGHT button on the topside control panel
to turn the spa light on. If your spa has perimeter LED
lights, they will also light up at the same time as the
spa light.
The LEDs operate in three modes:
1. Cycle: When you continually press the LIGHT
button, the LEDs will cycle through the three main
LED colors (Red, Green, and Blue) or combinations
of the three that produce the following colors:
light green, purple, light blue, yellow, etc.
Each time you press the button, you immediately
advance to the next color in sequence or eventually
a different light pattern.
2. Flashing: When you are cycling through all the
colors, the next time you push the LIGHT button,
the LED lights may start ashing. This is another
normal operational pattern option.
3. Fading cycle: The next phase of operation when
you push the LIGHT button is a slow and/or fast
fade random transition from one color to the next.
Spas with exterior corner LED lighting generally work
in the same mode as described above. The variations
in color and patterns provide you with multiple options
to suit almost any lighting preference.
