This document is an owner's manual for Coast Spas Swim Spas, covering various models from 1302 (Bench) to 2100 VE. It provides comprehensive information on setup, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting for these swim spas.
Function Description:
Coast Spas Swim Spas are self-contained units designed for both relaxation and exercise. They feature powerful jets for swimming against a current, hydrotherapy massage jets, and various control options for temperature, filtration, and lighting. The swim spas are equipped with advanced filtration systems, including Pleatco DualCore Filters, and can be optionally fitted with ozonators and EcoClean UV Sterilizers for enhanced water sanitation. Control panels, such as the Wellness Series (9-button) Performance Plus with Variable Speed Control Panel, allow users to manage all spa functions, including swim workouts, heating modes, and filter cycles. Connectivity options like the Balboa Wi-Fi Module and ControlMySpa™ system enable remote control and monitoring via smart devices.

- Dry Weight (lbs/kg): Ranges from 2200 lbs (998 kg) for the 1302 Bench to 4000 lbs (1815 kg) for the 2100 VE.
- Wet Weight (lbs/kg): Ranges from 13929 lbs (6315 kg) for the 1302 Bench to 27121 lbs (12302 kg) for the 2100 VE.
- Dimensions (cm/inches): Vary by model, e.g., 384 x 229 x 135 cm (151 x 90 x 53 inches) for the 1302 Bench and 630 x 229 x 161 cm (248 x 90 x 63.5 inches) for the 2100 VE.
- Electrical Requirements: All self-contained spas use 120VAC or 240VAC electrical spa packs. 120VAC requires an isolated 15 Amp circuit breaker, while 240VAC models require a 40, 50, or 60 Amp dedicated GFCI circuit breaker with proper wire size. Optional auxiliary heaters require a separate 30 AMP breaker service. Minimum 6AWG copper conductors are specified for connections.
- Water Chemistry Parameters: pH: 7.2-7.8; Chlorine: 1.0-3.0 ppm; Bromine: 2.0-5.0 ppm; Total Alkalinity: 100-120 ppm; Calcium Hardness: 150-250 ppm.
- Water Temperature: Maximum recommended for health is 38°C (100°F); for exercise, it should not exceed 32°C (90°F).
- EcoClean UV Sterilizer: UV lamps produce UV-C dose for microorganism eradication. UV Rays generated at 254 Nm. Lamp replacement every 13,000 operating hours. Quartz tube cleaning every 12-18 months.
- Balboa Ultrazone Ozonator: Produces ozone for sanitation.
Usage Features:

Maintenance Features:
- Water Quality Maintenance: Emphasizes regular chemical usage and maintaining water chemistry within specified parameters (pH, chlorine/bromine, total alkalinity, calcium hardness) to prevent damage and ensure safe water.
- Filter Maintenance: Requires replacing filter cartridges every six months and rinsing them weekly with a hose. Monthly cleaning with a cartridge filter cleaner is recommended. The Pleatco DualCore filter's inner core can be removed for cleaning.
- Water Replacement: Recommended every 3-6 months, depending on usage.
- Headrest/Pillow Care: Removable pillows should be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild soap, then wiped with a conditioner. They should be removed if water chemistry is unbalanced.
- Swim Spa Interior Cleaning: Fiberglass reinforced acrylic shell should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth or sponge using a low-sudsing household soap and rinsed thoroughly.
- Cover Maintenance: Regular cleaning with a soft brush and mild soap, followed by vinyl conditioner application, is recommended.
