Suction Fittings: Four suction fittings provide water to the pumps. Suction covers must always be in place.
Filter: Equipped with a filter cartridge, basket, and housing.
Drainage: Includes a drain hose with a cap and valve knob for draining.

Usage Features:

The spa is controlled via a command panel on the console, which includes buttons for blower, mode, pump 1, pump 2, light, and temperature adjustment.

Air Controls (1, 2, 3, 4): Determine the amount of air flowing through specific hydrotherapy jets. Turning counterclockwise increases air, clockwise decreases it.
Mode Button: Switches between Standard, Economy, and Sleep modes.
- Standard Mode: Maintains the desired temperature.
- Economy Mode: Heats the spa to the set temperature only during filter cycles.
- Sleep Mode: Heats the spa to within 20°F of the set temperature during filter cycles only.
Pump Button 1: Controls spa jets labeled 3 and 4. Press once for low speed, again for high speed, and a third time to shut off.
Pump Button 2: Controls spa jets labeled 1 and 2. Press once for soothing hydrotherapy, again to shut off.
Light Button: Turns the underwater light on and off.
Temperature Buttons: Adjust the desired water temperature from 80°F to 104°F.
Blower Button: Turns the ten air injectors on and off.
Automatic Mode: Heats and filters water when the spa is left unattended or when the water temperature is below the set temperature.
Priming Sequence: An automatic priming sequence runs when the spa is first turned on or after pumps have been drained, with a countdown from "005" to "000" and then "Pr" displayed. Pumps must be manually activated during this phase to ensure proper water flow.
GFCI Test: The Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) must be tested before each use by pressing the "test" button while the spa is running. The spa should shut off, and then resume normal operation after pressing the "reset" button.
Freeze Protection: If temperature sensors detect a drop below 40°F, pump 1 (and the heater if necessary) will activate automatically to prevent freezing. Pump 2 and the blower will purge for 30 seconds to 2 minutes at the end of the freeze condition.
Spa Cover: A spa cover (11) is included and must be securely latched and locked when the spa is not in use to prevent child drowning, maintain heat, and protect the spa surface from sun damage.

Maintenance Features:

Regular maintenance is crucial for the spa's longevity and performance.

Daily: Check and refill water level, check and adjust pH balance and sanitizer level.
Weekly: Clean the spa shell at the waterline, and thoroughly clean the filter.
Monthly: Clean the spa cover, soak the filter in a trisodium phosphate (TSP) solution, and replace the filter if needed.
Every Three Months: Drain and refill the spa with clean water, sanitize and test pH, check for leaks around the pump or pipe joints, and clean the interior of the spa.
Spa Exterior: Clean the surround with a mild soap solution. Do not use solvents or waxes.
Spa Shell: Clean with a mild soap solution. Do not use solvents or waxes.
Spa Cover: Clean monthly with water and a non-abrasive cleaner, rinse, dry, and apply a non-silicone-based vinyl conditioner.
Filter Cleaning: Turn off power, lift filter cover, remove basket and filter, rinse filter with a hose, soak in cleaning solution if still dirty, inspect for damage, and reinsert.
Draining the Spa: Drain at least four times per year or more often depending on user load. Turn off power, remove access panel, pull out drain hose, remove cap, open valve knob, attach garden hose, and lower to drain.
Draining the Pumps: If storing for over thirty days or if exposed to freezing temperatures, drain the jet pumps by loosening collars on each pump after draining the spa.
Winterization: Turn off power, drain spa and pumps, remove all remaining water from spa shell and system using a wet/dry vacuum, clean spa shell and filter, shut off breaker, and reattach access panel and cover. For additional protection, pumps/motors can be removed and stored in a climate-controlled room.
Light Bulb Replacement: Turn off spa power, remove access panel, locate light housing, turn counterclockwise to remove, replace bulb, and reattach.

Safety Precautions:

A warning sign must be posted where visible to all users.
Pregnant women should consult a physician and limit use to 10 minutes at a time, avoiding temperatures above 100°F.
Never use the spa alone, and always supervise children.
Keep children under 12 and pets away when not in use.
Always attach and lock the spa cover after use.
Do not use the spa if under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.

Keep hair and body parts away from suction guards.
Shower before and after using the spa.
Maintain proper pH and chemical balance of the water.
Do not operate the pump motor when the spa is empty.
Do not expose an empty spa to direct sunlight to prevent shell damage.
The spa jets produce high-pressure water; prolonged exposure to a localized area may cause bruises.
Consult a physician if you have pre-existing health problems or feel pain/dizziness during use.
Never place electrical appliances within five feet of the spa.
Ensure proper grounding connection between the spa and any metal equipment within five feet.
