WARNING: An empty spa (spa without water in it) must not
be left exposed to sunlight as shell damage may occur. Once the spa
is unwrapped, fill spa with water immediately or shade the spa with
cover or wrapping to prevent direct exposure to sunlight.
IMPORTANT: Do not turn power on to the spa without water
in the spa. Serious damage to the pump and heater may occur.
WARNING: Make sure power is off to your spa prior to
following spa filling procedure. Failure to do so may result in
serious injury.
Step 1: Remove filter cap.
Note: Images show spa with filter plate removed for clarity.

top right of the filter grill. Reinstall the filter cage cap and filter
cap.

appropriate mineral supplement is immediately added (see your
authorized Villeroy & Boch Dealer). If your water is extremely

blending the water with water from a water softener, or by the
addition of a special water softening chemical (see your authorized
Villeroy & Boch Dealer).

equipment in equipment compartment for signs of leakage before
turning on the spa. Turn on pump(s), once again, check for leakage.
If a leak is detected, tighten the fitting by hand. If the leak persists
contact your authorized Villeroy & Boch Dealer.
Step 6: Install Cover: e spa cover comes with tie down
straps and locking hardware that attaches the cover to the spa or
decking. If your dealer did not install the cover, refer to the Cover
Installation Instructions included with the cover.
Cover locks are an essential component for compliance with the
ASTM F1346-91 safety standard for spa covers.
Note: e spa cover is an important part of maintaining spa water
at the desired temperature. When spa is not in use, place the cover
over the spa and attach tie down straps to the locking hardware.
