Overview

This document is an owner's manual for MSpa inflatable hot tubs, covering models C-TE042/062 (Tekapo), C-OM062 (Ottoman), C-BE042/062 (Bergen), and C-ST062 (Starry). It provides comprehensive information on safety, setup, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting for these bubble spas.

Function Description:

The MSpa hot tubs are designed for single-family dwelling use, providing a portable and easy-to-set-up spa experience. They feature a control system that includes a heater, massage air blower, filter pump, and UVC sanitizing system. The spa is inflatable and comes with a wired controller for easy operation. Key functions include heating water to a desired temperature (20°C to 40°C / 68°F to 104°F), providing a bubbling massage, and filtering the water to maintain cleanliness. An anti-icing system automatically activates to heat the water to 3°C (37.4°F) if the temperature drops below 1°C (33.8°F), preventing freezing. The UVC sanitizing system helps to control bacteria and viruses in the water.

Usage Features:

  • Easy Setup: The spa can be installed indoors or outdoors in approximately 10 minutes by one or more persons. Inflation is guided by a manometer, ensuring correct air pressure (Yellow section for initial inflation/unattended outdoor use, Green section when filled with water/in use).
  • Wired Controller: A user-friendly wired controller allows activation of the UVC sanitizing system, heater, filter, bubble massage, and a timer for heating. It also features up/down buttons for temperature adjustment and a safety lock.
  • Temperature Control: Users can set the water temperature between 20°C (68°F) and 40°C (104°F). The default temperature is 40°C (104°F).
  • Heating Timer: A timer function allows users to pre-set the number of hours (1 to 99) from the current time when the heater will activate.
  • Safety Lock: The controller can be locked/unlocked by pressing the UP and DOWN buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds, disabling controls while retaining settings.
  • Celsius/Fahrenheit Toggle: The temperature display can be switched between Celsius and Fahrenheit by long-pressing the DOWN button for 3 seconds.
  • Manometer Guidance: The manometer helps ensure optimal air pressure, indicating when to add or release air, especially with temperature changes.
  • Seasonal Precautions: Specific recommendations are provided for summer (avoid direct sunlight, check air pressure, consider morning/evening use) and winter (soften material before use, inflate above 15°C/59°F, use lukewarm water for filling, keep heater on to prevent freezing). The spa has an IPX5 water-resistant rating for light rain, but bubble function should be avoided during rain.

Maintenance Features:

  • Filter Cartridge Maintenance: The filter cartridge should be inspected and cleaned gently after each use, and replaced every 3-5 days or when soiled/discolored. The filter cartridge must always be installed when the spa is filled with water.
  • Water Sanitation: Regular checking and sanitizing of spa water (daily, if necessary) is crucial. The manual provides a table for correct water balance levels (pH, Free Chlorine, Bromine residual, Total Alkalinity, Total Hardness) and recommended test frequency.
  • Spa Cleaning: After draining, the spa tub should be cleaned with a sponge and mild soap solution. Steel wool, hard brushes, or abrasive cleaners should not be used.
  • Drainage: The spa can be drained by turning off all functions, then pressing the BUBBLE button for 15 minutes to dry the spa pool, and finally lifting the spa to remove remaining water.
  • Deflation: The whole valve on the spa pool can be unscrewed for deflation.
  • Repair Kit: A repair patch is provided for punctures. Users should clean and dry the area, apply glue (not included) to the PVC patch, and attach it to the damaged surface, smoothing out air bubbles.
  • Storage: For future use, the spa should be drained, cleaned, and thoroughly dried. All components and accessories should be clean and dry. The spa tub should be air-dried in mild sunlight for an hour before being folded loosely to prevent damage. It should be stored in a dry, temperature-controlled area (between 0°C and 40°C / 32°F - 104°F). Original packaging is recommended for storage.
  • Filter Cartridge Cleaning Reminder: The controller indicates when the filter cartridge needs cleaning or replacement by flashing or displaying red on the FILTER button. Pressing the FILTER button for 3 seconds resets this reminder.
  • Auto-filtration: When in stand-by mode, the filtration system automatically operates for 60 minutes every 8 hours.
