GFCI Wiring Diagram 1 USA/Canada 60 Hz
The dual zone Olympian swim spa uses both a 240v GFCI connection as
illustrated above and an independent 15 Amp 120v outlet.
The Spa side of the Olympian uses 120v equipment and internal 15amp
GFCI in the power cable.
Refer to your local regulations and your certified electrician/contractor for
proper installation, following NEC guidelines.

1. Inspect the spa equipment.
Inspect all plumbing connections in the
equipment area of your spa.
3. Fill the spa.
This applies to all spa owners EXCEPT those with the Cal Clarity II bromine generator. See instructions on
page 31 for bromine generator operating instructions and spa lling procedures.
2. Remove the cartridge from lter canister.
Place a garden hose in the lter canister and ll your spa
with regular tap water about six inches from the top.
If the water level is too low or too high, your spa will not
operate properly.
Always ll the spa through the lter canister! Failure
to do so may cause air to be trapped in the ltration
system and prevent the pumps from operating
properly.
Unscrew the cartridge and remove it.
After you remove the lter, remove the plastic
wrapper and soak it in water for 30 minutes before
you replace it. A dry lter can allow air into the
ltration system which can cause the pump to fail to
prime. Never try to pull the lter cartridge while the
spa is running in low or high speed (i.e., any speed).
• Make sure unions in the equipment pack are tight. (Be
careful not to over-tighten the plumbing ttings.)
• If your spa has gate
valves, make sure
they are all in the UP
or OPEN position.
• Make sure the drain
valve is closed and
capped. (See page
36 for a description of
drain valves.)
Never ll your spa with soft water.
Soft water makes it impossible to maintain the
proper water chemistry and may cause the water
to foam, which will ultimately harm the nish of
the spa and void your warranty.
You may ll your spa with well water
provided the following conditions are met:
1) Purchase and use a pre-lter to run the well
water through on the ll-up. The pre-lter will
be placed before the spa lter in the ll-up ow
of water. 2) Have a Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)
and metals test performed by a qualied person
after the ll-up process but before any spa use.
Filling and Powering Up Your Portable Spa
Never run the spa with the gate valves closed or
without water circulating for long periods of time.

5. Prime the pump.
4. Turn on power to the spa.
6. Install the lter into the lter canister.
Make sure the lter has soaked at least 30 minutes
before you install it. Insert the lter all the way and
screw it in. Do not over-torque the cartridge during
installation, just hand tighten gently.
7. Adjust water chemistry.
Test and adjust the water chemistry. See the section on page 27 for instructions on water clarity.
8. Let the spa heat up.
When the spa has nished priming, the heater will activate. Put the cover on and let the spa heat to the
set temperature.
When the spa is lled to the correct level, turn on the
power at the GFCI breaker. (Ensure that the 120V spas are
connected to the proper electrical outlet.)

New spa owners often have difculty the rst time they
start their spa and the pump fails to prime. This can be
frustrating, but these simple instructions can help you.
Sometimes air can become trapped in the pump while
lling the spa. You will know this has happened when after you have lled and started the spa, the pump does
not seem to function. You will hear the pump operating, but no water will be moving.
The pump will not work properly while
air is trapped in it. Continuing to operate
the pump in this way will cause damage.

If you have tried priming the pump several
times unsuccessfully using the control panel,
you can bleed the air from the pump manually.
1. Shut off the power to the spa.
2. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the
front panel from the spa and locate the
pump.
3. Close the gate valve on the discharge side
of the pump (if your spa is installed with
one.)
4. Turn the bleeder valve counter clockwise
with a small pair of pliers until the air has
been released from the pump.
5. If this is unsuccessful, loosen the union nut
on side of the pump with channel locks.
When air is bled out, tighten the nut.
6. Turn on power to the spa and press the
JETS button. If there is still air trapped in
the pump, repeat steps 2 through 5 until
the pump primes.
