3. TO CHECK THE OPERATION OF THE HYDROMASSAGE JET
SYSTEM and to purge any remaining air from the system complete
the following steps:
• Press the jets button placing all hydromassage jets on High.
• Once the jet system is fully operational (as indicated by strong,
non-surging jets), priming of the
fitness system
is complete.
• To turn off the jets, press the jets
button on the main control panel
.
• If you do not feel a steady stream of water from your jets, refer
to the instructions for priming the pump in the
fitness system
TROUBLESHOOTING section.
4. SET THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL to the desired temperature
between 59°F (15°C) and 104°F (40°C), then place the optional
fitness system cover on the fitness system and allow the water
temperature to stabilize approximately 1°F (0.5°C) per hour. Make
sure you secure the cover in place. Periodically check the fitness
system water temperature. When the water temperature reaches
desired temperature, proceed to the next step. The fitness system
temperature is pre-programmed to reach 85°F (29.5°C). You may
change the water temperature by pressing the
button on the
control panel to raise the temperature, or lower temperature by
pressing the ▼button.
5. USING A TEST STRIP AND APPLICABLE CHEMICALS adjust
Total Alkalinity (TA) to 80-120 ppm, Calcium Hardness (CH) to
50-150 ppm, then fitness system water pH to between 7.2 and 7.8.
These procedures are listed in the “Water Quality and Maintenance”
section.
OPERATION NOTE: Adjusting the Total Alkalinity as the first step
is important, as out-of balance TA will affect your ability to adjust the
pH correctly and will prevent the sanitizer from operating effectively.
IMPORTANT: Activate the swim machine by using the blue swim
machine remote and increase speed to at least 50% before adding
chemicals. Disperse the chemicals in the swim area away from the
walls.
6. SUPERCHLORINATE THE FITNESS SYSTEM WATER by adding
1½ teaspoons of chlorine (sodium dichlor) per 250 gallons (950
liters) of water while running the swim machine above 50% for 10
minutes. Disperse the chemicals in the swim area away from the
walls.
7. TEST THE FITNESS SYSTEM WATER FOR CHLORINE
RESIDUAL. If the residual is between 1 and 5 ppm on the test
strips, go on to the next step. If the residual is less than 1 ppm,
activate the swim machine above 50% for another 10 minutes and
add more chlorine as needed, then retest.
WARNING: High sanitizer levels can cause discomfort to the user’s
eyes, lungs and skin. Always allow the sanitizer level to fall to the
recommended range before using the fitness system.
8. RECHECK the Total Alkalinity (TA) 80-120 ppm, Calcium Hardness
(CH) 50-150 ppm, and the pH must be between 7.2 and 7.8.
The
fitness system
is ready for use when the
fitness system
water
has circulated and the bromine level remains between 1 and 2 ppm
or chlorine level remains between 1 and 5 ppm.
