DIRECTIONAL & ROTARY JETS
These jets deliver a great massage to the back and shoulder areas.
These jets may provide either a direct stream, or rotating massage
patterns. The pressure can be adjusted by rotating the faceplate from a
full stream, to shutting the jet completely off. To avoid damage to your
spa’s plumbing and components, do not turn off more than half of these
jets at the same time.
PRECISION JETS
PRECISION jets are small. They are designed to perform a soft,
soothing massage on your feet, calf, back and shoulders.
The Air Control
levers are used to change the air intensity of a group of PRECISION jets
simultaneously.
AIR CONTROL SYSTEM
AIR CONTROL VALVE: Turning the air control lever to the left position
allows for the same volume of air to flow to all individual jets and
PRECISION jets simultaneously. The jet faceplate on the larger jets is
then used to control the water intensity of each hydromassage jet.
NOTE: Always turn the air control lever to the right position anytime the
spa is not being used. This will help make the spa operate more quietly
and heat more efficiently when the vinyl cover is in place.
WATERFALL VALVE
The RELAY, RHYTHM & PACE spas are equipped with a cascading
water feature. It is activated by pressing the JETS button up to 3 times
when the jets are off and turning the waterfall valve clockwise. The flow
is regulated by turning the valve to the desired position.
When not in use turn the on/off valve to the OFF position.
QUICK START-UP INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE YOU FILL YOUR SPA
Make sure your spa has been properly installed per all local codes, this
includes the location of the spa, the foundation of the spa as well as the
electrical installation of the spa. Installation instructions in the form of a
Pre-Delivery Instruction booklet can be obtained from either your HOT
SPRING dealer or online at:
www.HotSpring.com/planning-tools/pre-delivery-instructions
DO:
• Know which water treatment system you will be using and make sure
you have necessary chemicals available. Read all of the instructions
that come with the system.
• Have @ease Test Strips or FRESHWATER
5-way Test Strips
Available (depending on your chosen water treatment system).
• Have pH/Alkalinity Up & Down available.
• Know the "Hardness" of your water, contact your dealer to help you
with this information. See Water Quality and Maintenance for more
information.
IMPORTANT: WATKINS WELLNESS does not recommend that
the spa be filled with “softened” water, as this may damage the spa’s
equipment.
• Purchase the Clean Screen
®
pre-filter to remove unwanted
contaminants from the tap water. This is recommended, not required.
DON'T:
• Power up the spa until it has been filled with water! Power to the spa
automatically activates critical components within the spa, such as
controls, heater, and other systems. If power is supplied to these
components prior to the spa being filled, the components will be
damaged, and this may result in a non-warranty component failure.
• Fill the spa with hot water or cold water with cold water temperature
below 50º F (10º C)! Tripping of the high-limit thermostat may result
causing your spa to stop functioning.
• Use your spa after filling until all of the steps listed below START-UP
are completed!
• Add chlorine if treating your spa with polyhexamethylene biguanide
(Biguanide, PHMB, eg. BaquaSpa
®
) sanitizer.
