4. Adjust Total Alkalinity (TA) to 80 ppm, Calcium Hardness (CH) to 100 ppm, then spa water pH to between 7.2 and 7.6 These procedures are
listed in the “Water Quality and Maintenance” section.
IMPORTANT: Add spa water chemicals directly into the filter compartment with the jet pump on high speed for at least ten minutes.
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.
5. Superchlorinate the spa water by adding 1-1/2 teaspoons of chlorine (sodium dichlor) per 250 gallons (950 liters) of spa water. Run the jet
pump for a ten-minute period (clean cycle).
6. During the super-chlorination period, rotate the diverter lever through both operating positions, letting the spa water circulate (with jets on) for
equal periods of time. For example, leave the diverter lever in each position for approximately two to three minutes.
OPERATION NOTE: Dependingonyourspa,thediverterleverisdesignedtooperateineitherthe3o’clockand9o’clockpositionsorinthe6
o’clockand12o’clockpositions(theGlow
®
and Bolt

do not use a diverter lever).
7. Set the temperature control to the desired temperature between 100°F and 104°F (36°C and 40°C), then place the vinyl cover on the spa and
allow the water temperature to stabilize (approximately 24 hours). Make sure you secure the cover in place using the cover locks. Periodically
check the spa water temperature. When the water temperature climbs above 90°F (32°C), proceed to the next step.
8.
Rotatethediverterlevertotheprimaryposition(3o’clockfortheFlair
®
modelor6o’clockforthePulse
®
model ) and turn on the jets for ten
minutes to circulate the spa water. After the jets have run for ten minutes (clean cycle), test the spa water for Free Available Chlorine (FAC)
residual. If the residual is between 3 and 5 ppm on the test strips (found in the test kit) go on to the next step. If the residual is less than 3 ppm,
superchlorinate the spa water by adding 1-1/2 teaspoons of chlorine (sodium dichlor) per 250 gallons
(950 liters) of spa water. Run the jet pump
to circulate the spa water for a ten-minute period (clean cycle).
9. Rotatethediverterlevertonextposition(9o’clockfortheFlairmodel or12o’clockforthePulsemodel ) and let the spa water circulate (using
the jet) for ten minutes. Test the spa water for Free Available Chlorine (FAC) residual. If the residual is between 3 and 5 ppm on the test strips
(found in the test kit) go on to the next step. If the residual is less than 3 ppm, superchlorinate the spa water by adding 1-1/2 teaspoons of
chlorine (sodium dichlor) per 250 gallons (950 liters) of spa water. Run the jet pump to circulate the spa water for a ten-minute period (clean
cycle).
10. Recheck the Total Alkalinity (TA) at 80 ppm, Calcium Hardness (CH) at 100 ppm, then spa water pH at between 7.2 and 7.6.
Operational Note: Make sure you adjust your Total Alkalinity first, as an out-of-balance condition will affect your ability to adjust the pH
correctly, and will prevent the sanitizer from operating effectively. 

11. The spa temperature is pre-programmed to reach 100°F (38°C), and will normally do so within 18 to 24 hours. 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 1-1/2 degrees of your selected temperature. To prevent tampering, you can lock your desired temperature
setting. Refer to the Control Panel section for details.
NOTE: Allowing the jet pump to operate for long uninterrupted periods of time with the cover in place will cause a rise in the spa water
temperature. All spas are equipped with a safety device to reduce the risk of component damage or personal injury, should the jet pump be left
running continuously for a long period of time. After two hours of continuous operation, the jet pump
controller will automatically turn off the jet pump.
dIVERTER SYSTEM (glEAM,
PUlSE & FlAIR ONlY)
With your Hot Spring
®
spa’sdivertersystemdesign,youcancontrolthemassagingaction
of your spa. Using the diverter
lever, the jets are activated in sets, known as jet systems.
ThePulsespahastwojetsystemsthatareactivatedbyturningthediverterlevertothe6or12o’clock
position while the Gleam & Flair have two jet systems that are activated by turning the diverter lever to the
3or9o’clockposition.Toaccessadifferentjetsystem,simplyturnthedivertersystemlever.Theorientationisbased
on standing at the control panel.
Please consult the jet system menus on the following page to determine which jets are activated
with each diverter lever position. Or just jump in and play – turn the lever and see what happens.
AIR CONTROl SYSTEM
The Air Control System allows you to control the intensity of the Direct Hydromassage jets by adjusting
the mixture of air and water. Turn the Air Control lever clockwise to decrease the intensity of the Direct
Hydromassage jets and counterclockwise to increase the intensity.
