1. Ensure that your ECO SPA’s electrical power cord is NOT plugged in or that power to
the spa is turned OFF. Do not turn on power to the spa until it is full to the proper water
level.
2. Check that your ECO SPA drain valve (located behind the spa’s DRAIN COVER plate)
is closed and capped securely so as to prevent leaking.
3. Connect a Pre-Filter to your standard garden hose to ensure that you start out with
cleaner water.
4. Open the spa covers, remove the filter cover and unscrew and remove the filter
cartridges.
5. Make sure that the spa’s 2 Air Control knobs are in the OPEN position and that the
Diverter Valve is pointed to center.
6. Turn all Jets counter-clockwise to the full OPEN position. Doing so will minimize the
amount of air in the water lines to help avoid causing a potential ‘airlock’ and will make
priming the pump easier.
7. Fill your ECO SPA to an approximate water level of 2" above the top of the highest
jet. Once the spa is filled to this level, power can then be supplied to your ECO SPA.
8. Carefully re-install the 2 filter cartridges into their sockets and re-install the Filter Cover.
9. Plug in the GFCI unit of the 110 Volt power cord and depress the reset button on it or, if
applicable, connect the power for 220 Volt operation.
10. Once the power is on, the pump should come on at High Speed for 1 minute to purge air
from the water lines and verify adequate water flow and then it will shift down to Low
speed. Meanwhile, the window of the Topside Control panel will display a series of
codes, then a series of dashes ( ----) and finally settle on toggling between displaying
Time and Temperature.
11. The and icons will be flashing in the window of Topside Control Panel indicating
the spa is taking a water temperature reading and may be calling for heat.
12. The icon will then show solid in the window of Topside Control Panel as the heater
will automatically begin heating to the Temperature Set Point you programmed on your
Topside Control Panel. (See ECO SPA Topside Controller Instructions on pages 15 -
17.)
13. Once the water temperature has reached at least 80°F (27°C) so that chemicals can
dissolve properly you can now test and balance the pH Level of your water and sanitize
it per the chemistry guidelines supplied by your dealer.
14. ECO SPA is not responsible for damage to the spa from improper or excessive
chemical use. ECO SPA recommends that you read and understand the spa
chemistry guidelines supplied by your dealer or consult with a local spa supply retailer.
