Procedures
IMPORTANT:
YOUR COLDTUB™ HAS BEEN THOROUGHLY TESTED DURING THE MANUFACTURING
PROCESS TO ENSURE RELIABILITY AND LONG-TERM CUSTOMER SATISFACTION.
BEFORE FILLING THE TUB, WIPE THE SHELL CLEAN WITH A SOFT RAG.
The following instructions must be followed exactly to ensure a successful start-up or rell.
1) Ensure the electrical connections have been made in accordance with this manual.
2) Fill the tub with water until water level reaches to half way up the skimmer box. Please watch for any sign of
leaks that may have been caused by shipping.
3) Once lled to the proper level, turn the power to the tub on by pluging it in and pressing the Reset button
on the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter breaker. Watch the display on the topside control. After power-up,
the display will blink until a key is pressed. This feature is to let you know that the set point and other system
parameters are at their default settings.
4) The jet pump, cooling system and all internal plumbing will achieve a partial prime as the tub is lled. Once
the tub is full, turn each pump on to complete prime. Once the jet system is fully operational (as indicated by
strong, non-surging jets), priming of the tub is complete. Weak or surging jets are an indication of a low water
level condition or clogged lter cartridges.
5) Adjust the chemicals and balance the water according to your dealer’s instructions. A guideline is also
included in this manual, under the Water Maintenance Section.
6) Set the temperature control to the desired temperature (as low as 42ºF - 5.5ºC), then place the vinyl cover
on the tub and allow the water temperature to stabilize (approximately 16 hours). Make sure you secure the
cover in place using the cover locks. Periodically check the tub water temperature.
7) Fill the tub
• Test total alkalinity (TA)- it should be between 120-150. if it is high use Cold water
Rundown to lower the TA. If it is to low use Cold water Balance to raise the TA.
• Test Ph - it should be between 7.2- 7.6. If it is to high use Run Down to lower the Ph.
If it is too low use Jump to raise it.
• Add Sodium chloride Dead Seasalt according to this chart.
• Use Cold Water Sanitizer any time the water is “heavily used” or any time it
looses clarity.
• Test and adjust sanitizer level (Chlorine ideal 1 - 3 ppm).
8) You may raise the water temperature by pressing the TEMP (
) button on the
control panel, or lower it by pressing TEMP (
) button. After a few hours, the water
temperature will remain within one degree of your selected temperature.
CAUTION!
Do not turn on power to the tub until it
is lled to the required level. Running
the pump without water could cause
immediate damage and void your
warranty!
