Choosing the Best Position
Whenchoosingwheretopositionyourspapool,therstthingyoushouldconsider
iswhatisgoingbeneathit.Yourspapoolisveryheavy,weighinganythingbetween
1000kgand2500kgwhenlled.Itisthereforeveryimportantyouchoosean
adequatefoundationthatisstrongandleveltoensurethereisnoshiftingorstrain
on the spa pool shell or framing.
Thebasewerecommendyouuseiseithera100mmconcretepad,orareinforced
deck.Ifyouchooseadeckasabase,pleasecheckthatitcomplieswithallNZ
buildingstandardsandthatitsmaxloadratingwilladequatelywithstandyourspa
pool’sweight,plusthetotalbatherloadweight.
Check Drainage
Youneedtobesuretheareainwhichthespapoolisplacedhasenoughdrainage
capacitytohandletheentirewatercontentofthespapool.Intheeventofspillage,
areasaroundthespapoolmaybecomewet;therefore,allooring,furniture,walls
andadjacentstructuresshouldbemoisture-resistant.
Check Service Access
Itisimportanttoconsidertheaccesstothecabinetsurroundingthespapool.In
theunlikelyeventofaleakorissuewithcomponents,aserviceagentmayrequire
accesstoaparticularcabinet.Weadviseleavinga600mmperimeterofspace
aroundtheentirespapool,otherwisethespapoolmayneedtobemovedbythe
customerintoapositionsuitableforatechnicianatthetimeofservice.
Detailed Installation Guide
Formoredetailedinformationandtipsonpositioningandinstalling,wehighly
recommendyoureadthroughour‘Pre-DeliveryGuide’.Theguidewasemailedto
youupon/afterpurchase.Acopycanbedownloadedfromthelinkatthebottomof

Setting Up a 15A Model:
BydefaultthesespapoolswillNOTdrawmorethan15Aatanyonetime.Thisis
thedefaultfactorysetupwhichdisablestheheaterwhenthepumps(jets)are
turnedon*.
A15ampcablewith3-pinplughasbeenpre-wiredtothespapool’ssystem

toremove,seeyourspapool’scorrespondingtechinfo/wiringpage(usingthe
tableonthepreviouspage).
Setting Up a 25A/32A/45A Model:
A15Aspapoolrequiresa15Asocketandresidualcurrentdevice
(RCD)forthedefaultsetup.
A25A/32A/45Aspapoolrequiresadedicatedfeedfromyourcircuit
boardandappropriateResidualCurrentDevice&Isolationswitch.
Anelectricianisrequiredtosetupandconnecttheappropriatewiring.Tolocate
thesystemcontroller,seeyourspapool’scorrespondingtechinfo/wiringpage
(usingthetableonthepreviouspage).
Thecableshouldbefedthroughthecabinetwall(acablegrommetissupplied
intheiPackshouldyouwishtousethis)andadrillwitha60mmhole-saw

5. STARTUP & REFILL PROCEDURE
BALANCING & SANITIZING THE WATER
Just like a car, your spa pool needs care and general maintenance to keep it looking good
and running smoothly. An integral part of this maintenance is managing the water
quality.
To ensure your spa pool is ready to be used at all times, the water needs to be sanitized
and balanced to keep it clean and fresh.
You may have received a Water Care Startup Kit with your spa pool (please purchase one
if you have not). Follow the ‘WaterCareHandbook’ found in your iPack or download a
copy from our support page link at the bottom of this page.
Only use Alpine Spas, PureSpas or Spa Supplies approved products (including lter
cartridges) in your spa pool. Use of unapproved products may result in your warranty
becoming void, please contact us if in doubt.
FAILING TO BALANCE AND SANITIZE YOUR SPA POOL
CORRECTLY MAY RESULT IN CORROSION OR DAMAGE TO
COMPONENTS, WHICH IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.
