FILLING UP YOUR HOT TUB/ SPA
IMPORTANT: Before filling the spa, it is important to read and
understand the water chemistry section of this manual. Do not
proceed until the water chemistry section is understood and the source
water is tested.
Verify that the spa is in the desired final location. Refer to the
'Choosing a Location' section - once filled, the spa cannot be moved
without draining.
Follow these filling instructions to avoid damage to the spa pumps:
1. Leave power to the spa off until spa is completely filled.
2. Never leave an unfilled spa exposed to direct sunlight without the
Spa Cover installed. Resulting damage such as bubbles and
wrinkles in the spa shell and fading of the jet faces is not
covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
3. Never operate spa pumps without water because this could result
in permanent pump and/or heater damage which is not covered
by the manufacturer's warranty.
4. Remove all warning labels from spa shell.
5. Apply Acrylic Surface Protection solution if desired to keep the
spa shell clean, especially around the water line. Follow package
instructions.
6. Remove the filter lid, basket and filter cartridge.
7. Inspect all Jets (shipping may cause jets to become loose or
detached). Check to see that the black Drain Valve (located to
the left or right of the front access panel) is closed and that all
barrel unions are tight. The slice valves should be open.
IMPORTANT: Follow the next steps closely to prevent damage to
the Spa Pumps.
8. Insert garden hose or other clean water source directly into
filter housing. Push hose pipe into filter housing until it stops.
Fill up to bottom of the LED lights. Secure hose placement and
turn on water.
9. Filling the spa through the filter housing prevents an air lock from
occurring in the spa pumps, which is an air pocket preventing the
flow of water through the pump. Permanent damage caused by
running the pump with an air lock (or without water) is not
covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
