! PLEASE READ YOUR ENTIRE OWNER’S MANUAL BEFORE SPA OPERATION !
Your new portable spa must be placed on a firm, flat, and level surface, so that the weight is supported uniformly. We recommend no
less than a 3” (93 mm) thick concrete slab. Wood decking or balconies must be constructed to support 150 pounds per square foot
(730 kg/m2). Refer to the local and current building codes in your area. Should your new spa need to go through the gate or space –
restricted area, ensure you’ve communicated those limitations with your dealer to avoid delivery complications.
NOTE: Damage caused by alternate decking methods may avoid the spa warranty. Contact your dealer if you have any questions
regarding spa location and placement.
Your new spa has left the factory cleaned and polished and ready to begin operation after passing our many quality and operational
tests. However, depending on your location in the world, your spa may have spent days or even weeks in transit before arriving at your
home. Please ensure that before filling or operating your Classic Spa that you check all electrical and plumbing connections
are securely connected in the equipment area as they might have loosened during shipping. If any dirt has accumulated, you will want
to remove with a clean cloth or sponge using warm water.

Surface
Transport
IMPORTANT: Caring for your water by ensuring proper
chemical usage is the single most important thing you
can do to keep your Classic Spa in good condition.
WARNING: Improper chemical usage and maintenance will
quickly lead to severe issues with your spa and can affect
the spa equipment, jets, pumps, and all other components in
contact with the spa water. All Classic Spas are
susceptible to damage from unbalanced spa water.
120VAC: requires an isolated 15 Amp circuit breaker, an
isolated circuit with no other appliances or lights on the
circuit at any time. Extension cords are not to be used in
conjunction with the operations of the spa. Low voltage
damage could result, and this is not covered under warranty.
IMPORTANT: Classic Spas with 110V means that
the jets and heater will not work at the same time.
NOTE: All components must be 120V. No 240V components
allowable.
240VAC: Depending on the model of the spa, it will
require either a 40, 50, or 60 Amp dedicated circuit
breaker with the proper wire size (gauge) based on the
length of the run.
The electrical circuit must be installed by a certified
electrician and approved by a local building or electrical
inspector.

IMPORTANTSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
DANGER: Risk of Injury. The suction fittings in this Classic Spa are
sized to match the specific water flow created by the pump. Should
the need arise to replace the suction fittings or the pump, be sure
that the flow rates are compatible. Never operate the Classic Spa if
the suction fittings are broken or missing. Never replace a suction
fitting with one rated less than the flow rate marked on the original
suction fitting.
DANGER: Risk of Accidental Drowning. Do not allow children
to be in or around the spa without adult supervision. Keep the
spa cover on and locked when not in use. See instructions enclosed
with the cover for locking procedures.
DANGER: Risk of Electrical Shock. The electrical supply for this
product must include a suitably rated switch or circuit breaker to
open all ungrounded supply conductors to comply with section
422-20 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. The
disconnect must be readily accessible and visible to the Classic Spa
occupant but installed at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from the Classic Spa
water.
READ, FOLLOW AND SAVETHESE INSTRUCTIONS
a) A green colored terminal or a terminal marked G, Gr, Ground,
Grounding, or the symbol * is located inside the supply
terminal box or compartment. To reduce the risk of electric
shock, this terminal must be connected to the grounding
means provided in the electric supply service panel with a
continuous copper wire equivalent in size to the circuit
conductors that supply this equipment.
b) At least two lugs marked “Bonding Lugs” are provided on the
external surface or on the inside of the supply terminal box
compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect the
local common bonding grid in the area of the Classic Spa to
these terminals with an insulated or bare copper conductor no
smaller than No. 6 AWG.
c) All field-installed metal components such as rails, ladders,
drains or other similar hardware within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the
Classic Spa shall be bonded to the equipment grounding
bus with copper conductors no smaller than No. 6 AWG.
WARNING: To Reduce the Risk of Injury. The water in a Classic
Spa should never exceed 104 °F (40 °C). Water temperatures
between 100 °F (38 °C) and 104 °F (40 °C) are considered safe for
a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended for
young children and when Classic Spa use exceeds 10 minutes.
Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for
causing fetal damage during the early months of pregnancy,
pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit Classic Spa
water temperatures to 100 °F (38 °C). If pregnant, please consult
your physician before using a Classic Spa. Before entering the
Classic Spa, the user should measure the water temperature with
an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of water
temperature regulating devices may vary as much as +/- 5 °F (2 °
C). Persons suffering from obesity or a medical history of heart
disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems
or diabetes should consult a physician before using a Classic
Spa.
CAUTION: Risk of Hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when
the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several
degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6 °F (37 °C).
The symptoms of hyperthermia include drowsiness, lethargy, and
an increase in the internal temperature of the body. Prolonged
immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia. A description of
the causes, symptoms, and effects of hyperthermia are as
follows:
•Unawareness of impending hazard;
•Failure to perceive heat;
•Failure to recognize the need to exit Classic Spa;
•Physical inability to exit Classic Spa;
•Fetal damage in pregnant women; and
•Unconsciousness and danger of drowning.
WARNING: Children should not use Classic Spas without
adult supervision.
WARNING: Do not use Classic Spas unless all suction guards
are installed to prevent body and hair entrapment.
WARNING: People with infectious diseases should not use a
Classic Spa.
WARNING: To avoid injury, exercise care when entering or
exiting the Classic Spa.
WARNING: Do not use drugs or alcohol before or during the use
of Classic Spa to avoid unconsciousness and possible drowning.
The use of alcohol or drugs can greatly increase the risk of fatal
hyperthermia in Classic Spas.
WARNING: Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should
consult a physician before using a Classic Spa.
WARNING: Water temperature more than 38 °C (100 °F) may be
injurious to your health. Before entering the Classic Spa,
measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer.

WARNING: Prolonged immersion in a Classic Spa may be
injurious to your health.
WARNING: Do not permit electric appliances (such as lights,
telephone, radio, television, etc.) within 5 feet (1.5m) of this Classic
Spa unless such appliances are built-in by the manufacturer.
WARNING: People using medication and/or having an adverse
medical history should consult a physician before using a spa or
Classic Spa.
WARNING: People with infectious diseases should not use a spa
or Classic Spa.
WARNING: To avoid injury, exercise care when entering or exiting
the spa or Classic Spa.
WARNING: Do not use a spa or Classic Spa immediately
following strenuous exercise.
WARNING: Prolonged immersion in a spa or Classic Spa may be
injurious to your health.
WARNING: Maintain water chemistry in accordance with
the Manufacturer’s instructions.
WARNING: The equipment and controls shall be located no less
than 1.5 meters horizontally from the spa or Classic Spa.
CAUTION: Observe a reasonable time limit when using the
Classic Spa. Long exposures at higher temperatures can cause
high body temperature. Symptoms may include dizziness,
nausea, fainting, drowsiness, and reduced awareness. These
effects could possibly result in drowning.
CAUTION: Enter and exit the Classic Spa slowly. Wet surfaces
can be very slippery.
CAUTION: Proper chemical maintenance of Classic Spa water is
necessary to maintain safe water and prevent possible damage
to Classic Spa components. Maintain water chemistry in
accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.
CAUTION: Use the straps and clip tie downs to secure the cover
when not in use. This will help to discourage unsupervised children
from entering the Classic Spa and keep the Classic Spa cover
secure in high-wind conditions. There is no representation that
the cover, clip tie-downs, or actual locks will prevent access to the
Classic Spa.
CAUTION: For exercise, the water should not exceed 90 °F (32
°C).
GLOSSARYOFTERMS
AIR CONTROL: Mounted generally on the lip of
the spa, it induces warm air from the equipment
enclosure into the jet stream through venturi
action.
WATER DIVERTER: The large diverter is used to
divert water to various seats in the spa.
FILTER AIR RELIEF VALVE: Located on top of
dome filter lid. Used to release air from the filter.
SKIMMER BLEEDER VALVE: Located in the
skimmer area, needs to be loosened while filling
the spa. This will help eliminate air from being
trapped in the spa equipment.
OZONATOR: Available as an option. The
ozonator produces natural ozone through the
Corona Discharge process. Continuous use of an
ozonator can dramatically reduce sanitizer
consumption.
CONTROL BOX (Pack): Basically the “heart”
of the spa. Power is distributed to any/all functions
of the spa: pumps, ozonator, LED lighting,
heater element, etc.
TOPSIDE CONTROL: Mounted on the top lip of
the spa and controls the functions of the spa.
EQUIPMENT ENCLOSURE: An enclosure that
houses the control box, pump(s) and other
electrical components.
FILTER: The filter cleans the spa by passing water
through a filter cartridge where debris and
impurities are removed. Top load filter means the
filter cartridge is accessible through the top of the
spa. Front access skimmer means cartridge is
accessed through door of skimmer.
FLOOR DRAIN: The floor drain is covered by
a grate-type cover and is utilized when draining
the spa. It also acts as the return for the ozonator.
You will see bubbles emitted from this drain,
which is the result of water mixing with the ozone
output.

GATE VALVES: Red with a grey handle is
located at the inlet and outlet of the pumping
system. Used while servicing spa equipment, the
valves open or close the water flow to the
equipment. To remain open for normal use, turn
fully counterclockwise.
KNIFE VALVES: A white “T”-handled valve, same
functions as Gate valve (see above), except to
open them you pull up on handle.
HEATER: The electronically controlled heater
raises the temperature of the spa to the desired
setting.
LEDs: LEDs and their special lenses can be used
to achieve the desired mood lighting in the spa
and spa jets.
SKIMMER: This is the rectangular outlet at the
water level. The skimmer removes surface debris
to the filter. The water level in the spa should be
kept ½ to ¾ up on the skimmer for optimum
operation.
SUCTION: During operation of the equipment, the
suction works in conjunction with the skimmer to
draw water from the bottom of the spa through the
filter, keeping the spa sparkling clean.
NECK JET: Direction-controllable jet for soothing
neck massage.
ADJUSTABLE CLUSTER JET: Our adjustable,
high-intensity hydrotherapy jet.
DIRECTIONAL JET: Provides a straight flow for a
therapeutic massage.
ROTATIONAL JET: Provides a Unidirectional
circular therapeutic massage.
MASSAGE JET: Delivers massage in staccato
bursts over a narrow, focused area.
VOLCANO/WHIRLPOOL JET: high-output jet
designed for foot and leg massage.
LAMINAR FLOW: A thin stream of water that arcs
from the spa lip.
PREPARATION, SET-UP AND LOCATION
FOR YOUR NEW SPA:
•You want to keep in mind how you intend to use the spa and
plan the location accordingly.
•How close is the spa from the exit or entrance to your house?
(Consider the cold weather)
•Is the path to your spa clean of debris, sand, grass? (So as
not to track into the spa)
•Is there protection from wind, inclement weather?
•Can neighbors or passersby see the spa?
NOTE: Allow for service access: Many spa owners enjoy
placing their spa in a decorative enclosure or a deck. Keep in
mind that you need to have access to equipment for
maintenance and the spa should be able to be moved or lifted
without destroying the special enclosure or its surroundings.
You should discuss this with your dealer when designing the
location. Extension cords are not to be used in conjunction with
the operations of the spa. Low voltage damage could result,
and this is not covered by warranty.
NOTE: All components must be 120V; No 240V components
allowable.
240VAC: Depending on the model of spa, it will require
either a 40 Amp, 50 Amp, or 60 Amp dedicated circuit
breaker, GFCI, with the proper wire size based on the length
of the run. The electrical circuit must be installed by a certified
electrician and approved by a local building or electrical
inspector.

Extreme XL Water Diverters LED. Divert the flow of water
to specific seats in your Spa.
Air Controls. Allow air to mix with the water being supplied
to your massage jets.
Our Luxury Trillium Jets are made to deliver the ultimate
hydrotherapy experience.
The Coast Spas Volcano Jet is installed near the bottom of
the Spa and points upward to the surface. This jet is so
powerful that it comes standard with its very own diverter
valve so that power can be diverted to adjust the intensity.
Coast Spas developed the Hydro Cyclonic Filtration
System®. Not only is it more efficient and faster than a skim
filtration system but it also removes the dirty filter canisters
from the bathing area.
Your Spa can be equipped with the Worldwide Spa Remote
hardware that is required to take advantage of nearly limitless
control and monitoring of your Spa.
Coast Spas saves you all the trouble and money with the
Self-Cleaning Sweeper Jet. The Sweeper Jet is positioned
near the spa floor with its fan-like nozzle aimed downwards
and is automatically activated on daily filtration cycles.
Shiatsu Massage Nodules. Formed right into your spa’s
acrylic. The size and spacing of these ingenious nodules
create a unique hydrotherapy experience that is more like
resting on a cloud as our massage jets melt away the tension
in your muscles.
Streaming Water Ropes - Laminars. Provides the soothing
sound of running water. Adds a stunning look to the profile of
the Spa.

SPA CARE GUIDE
Your Authorized Dealer carries a wide variety of care and
maintenance products. For more information, please contact
your Dealer.
REQUIRED FILTER MAINTENANCE
Your new Classic Spa is equipped with a filter cartridge. To
always ensure maximum water quality, you should replace the
filter cartridge every six months, or earlier as necessary. The
filter cartridge is designed to be thrown away! Attempts to re-use
the filter cartridge may result in the re-release of unwanted
particles back into the Classic Spa.
PLEATCO DUAL CORE FILTERS
Your Classic Spa/spa comes with a premium filter. Most come
equipped with a Pleatco DualCore Filter, which does a better job
of cleaning your spa water than any other filter cartridge. The
DualCore filter has two layers of filtration media, the outer layer,
and the inner layer. Both are engineered to remove different
particles from your water.
The outer core is like a Classic filter which traps larger debris,
while the inner core filters the water for particles down to 3
microns in size. The inner core is easily removed and both filter
media can be cleaned. Keeping your spa water clean and
refreshing is extremely important for your enjoyment of your
Classic Spa. Our Classic Spas come with only the best filters
available in order to ensure your satisfaction.
REQUIRED WATER REPLACEMENT
You should replace the Classic Spa’s water every 3-6 months.
The frequency will depend on several variables including
frequency of use, number of bathers and attention paid to the
water quality maintenance. You will know it is time for a change
when you can no longer get the normal feel or sparkle to the
water, even though the key water balance measurements are all
within the recommended ranges.
HEADREST / PILLOW CARE
The pillows can be removed for easy cleaning and maintenance.
All pillows have plugs within the pillow itself. To remove the
pillow, grab the bottom edge firmly and pull outward. This will
allow the pillows to pop out from the receptacle in the spa shell.
To reinstall the pillow, you will align the pillow plug with the
receptacle. Press/hit the front side of the pillow firmly, which will
insert the plug back into the receptacle.
•Proper water chemistry must be maintained. Your
Classic Spa pillows are easily and quickly damaged
when exposed to unbalanced spa water. If you suspect
that your chemicals may be unbalanced, remove your
pillows immediately until the water has been restored to the
suggested condition.
•Do not sit on the pillows.
•Do not pull on the pillows.
•Pillows should be cleaned using a soft cloth and mild soap,
then wiped with a conditioner. We recommend that pillows
be washed each time you drain your spa.
This Limited Warranty is void if failure is caused by accident, acts
of nature, acts of God, or other causes beyond the control of
Coast Spas Manufacturing. Neglect, misuse, and abuse include
any installation, operation, or maintenance of the spa other than
in accordance with the instructions contained in the owner’s
manual provided with the spa, including, but not limited to
damage caused by operation outside the range of 34o F and 116o
F or 1o C and 47o C.
Please be advised that the Spa Warranty will become void if
Coast Spas or any of its selling or servicing agents determines
that the spa has been exposed to Hydrogen Peroxide, TriChlor or
any substance using it as an ingredient proven to be dangerous
to the Spa. Any condition arising from the use of Hydrogen
Peroxide or TriChlor in the spa is not a warrantable defect.
CLASSIC SPA INTERIOR
Your Classic Spa has a fiberglass reinforced acrylic shell.
Generally, dirt and stains will not adhere to the surface. To
properly clean the surface, we recommend wiping it with a soft
damp cloth (or sponge) using a low sudsing household soap or
liquid detergent and rinsing thoroughly with fresh water. Stubborn
dirt or stains may be removed by using Spic & Span adequately
dissolved in water. Contact your dealer and inquire about
maintenance packages.
DO NOT use any cleaning products containing abrasives or
solvents, since these could damage the surface. Harsh chemicals
should never be used on acrylic surfaces. Damage to the shell
due to the use of harsh chemicals is not covered under the
warranty.
DO NOT leave your Classic Spa drained and in direct sunlight for
extended periods of time. Extreme heat could cause damage to
the acrylic surface and may induce an effect known as “crazing”.

STAINLESS STEEL CONTROLS AND COMPONENTS ABOVE
THE WATER LINE
To preserve the stainless-steel finish of the controls and
components above the water line, we recommend they be wiped
with a dry soft cloth after each use of your Classic Spa. In
addition, off-gas your spa by removing the cover for
approximately 30 minutes multiple times per week (if not in use)
and after every shock treatment.
CABINET CARE
Never spray cabinets with a high-pressure garden hose or
pressure washer for any reason. This action may induce an
electrical short in the Classic Spa’s electrical equipment.
VINYLCABINET
Vinyl cabinets are made of a rigid polymer that combines the
durability of plastic with the beauty of real wood. This cabinet is
manufactured so that it won’t crack, peel, blister or delaminate
even after prolonged exposure to the elements. We recommend
wiping the cabinet with a soft damp cloth (or sponge) using
household soap or liquid detergent and rinsing with fresh water
thoroughly. DO NOT use abrasive cleansers or material as
this may damage the surface.
Vinyl cabinet door opening instructions
COVER CARE
A well cared for spa cover is a thing of beauty. Be sure to
clean and condition your cover at least once a month (more
often if needed). Your cover needs to be cleaned and
conditioned because vinyl can be dry and become brittle, spoiling
your spa’s appearance. Dry, brittle vinyl can also tear at the
seams and stress points. Quality materials, internal sewn
reinforcing and careful workmanship can only go so far against
the ravages of Mother Nature. See the specific Warranty card
enclosed with your cover for further details.
•When you shock your spa, you need to remove the cover for
a minimum of 30 minutes to ensure that the chemical gas off
can escape from the spa.
•You are required to keep the spa covered at all times when
not in use to protect the shell from harmful UV rays.
•A covered spa will use less electricity when maintaining the
desired water temperature.
•See the manual that comes with the cover for proper
mounting of the cover locks.
•The cover should always remain locked to prevent
unauthorized entry into the spa and potential drowning.
•Do not Sit, Stand or Lie on your cover. Nor should you place
any heavy object on top of the cover as this may damage
the structure.
VERY IMPORTANT:We recommend a vinyl conditioner for
your spa cover. Your local dealer carries a wide variety of care
and maintenance products. Choose a pleasant day each month
to remove your cover from the spa and lay it on a flat surface
accessible by garden hose. Douse the cover with a healthy
amount of water from the hose or a bucket to rinse away
loose dirt or debris. Using a soft bristle brush and a mild
solution of dishwashing liquid (about one teaspoon of detergent
to two gallons of water), and with a gentle circular motion, scrub
the cover clean. Be careful not to let any areas of the cover
dry before they’re thoroughly rinsed. Now apply the vinyl
conditioner as directed on the container. Massage the
conditioner into the cover in a gentle but firm manner. Before
replacing the cover on your spa, wipe and rinse any dirt
from the bottom of the cover. When you are ready, put the
cover on the spa.
NOTE: To remove tree sap, use lighter fluid (not charcoal lighter
but the fluid used in cigarette lighters). Use sparingly, then
immediately apply conditioner to that area. All waterfalls and
laminar flow water features should be turned off when the spa is
not in use to avoid heat and water loss.

BASIC INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION
GUIDELINES
WARNING! Qualified Technician Required for Service and
Installation
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
All self-contained spas use 120VAC or 240VAC electrical spa
packs. These instructions describe the only acceptable electrical
wiring procedures. Spas wired in any other way will void your
warranty and may result in serious injury. All installations should
be completed by a certified electrician. Failure to comply with
state and local codes may result in fire or personal injury and will
be the sole responsibility of the spa owner.
120VAC: This requires an isolated 15 Amp circuit breaker. This
needs to be an isolated circuit with no other appliances or lights
on this circuit at any time. Extension cords are not to be used in
conjunction with the operations of the spa. Low voltage damage
could result, and this is not covered by warranty.
NOTE: All components must be 120V; No 240V components
allowable.
240VAC: Depending on the model of spa, it will require either

CLASSIC SPA MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
FILTERMAINTENANCE
The spa filter is one of the most important maintenance items of a
Cascade Spa. The filter is there to remove debris from the water and
needs to be cleaned on a regular basis. Failure to do so may result
in poor performance, poor water clarity and could prevent the spa
from heating. Filtration starts as soon as flow is steady through the
filter. As the filter cartridge removes the debris from the spa water,
the accumulated debris causes flow resistance.
CLEANING AND REPLACING FILTER CARTRIDGE
Your spa filter has been designed for quick and easy maintenance.
The filter cartridge should be rinsed by hose once a week and
cleaned with a cartridge cleaner once a month. A second filter
cartridge is recommended and will speed up this process. This can
be purchased from your local dealer.
TOP LOAD FILTERS
•Turn the power OFF at the breaker.
•Loosen air relief valve, then remove retainer ring.
•Pull filter lid straight up to remove.
•Do not twist or pull the filter lid up at an angle. This could
cause damage to the filter canister, especially in freezing
conditions.
•Remove filter cartridge and clean with a garden hose and a
high-pressure nozzle. Periodically you may need to soak your
filter in a “cartridge filter cleaner” to remove excess minerals
and/or oils.
•Rinse filter thoroughly before installing. Clean the O-ring
on filter lid and apply a light film of silicone lubricant to the
O- ring. Do not use a petroleum-based lubricant as it could
damage the ring. Consult your dealer to purchase suitable
lubricant.
•Place clean Cartridge in filter canister.
•Replace filter lid and re-tighten retaining ring (finger tight
only)
NOTE: Make sure the O-ring is on the air relief valve and is
finger tight prior to starting the pump. This O-ring should
periodically be lubricated with a silicone lubricant.
•There is a 3/8” clear line coming from the filter area, and
this goes to the bottom corner of the spa. This drains
all the water from around the filter canister.
•This is a good time to check the skimmer basket.
Bring skimmer door (weir) forward and unscrew basket.
Clean out debris and reinstall.
WATER QUALITY MAINTENANCE
Maintaining the quality of the water within the specified limits
will serve to enhance your enjoyment and prolong the life of the
Classic Spa’s equipment. It is a fairly simple task, but it
requires regular attention because the water chemistry
involved is a balance of several factors. There is no simple
formula, and there is no avoiding it. An indifferent approach to
water maintenance will result in poor and potentially harmful
conditions for soaking and even damage to your Classic Spa
investment. The most important thing to keep in mind is that
preventing poor water chemistry is much easier than correcting
poor water chemistry. For specific guidance on maintaining
water quality, consult your Authorized Dealer who can
recommend appropriate chemical products for sanitizing and
maintaining your Classic Spa.
MAINTAIN HEALTHY SPA WATER
Important! When maintaining your Classic Spa’s water
chemistry, ensure that your cover is removed during any
aggressive treatments to allow for dissipation into the air. Take
care to remove the cover slowly and let chemicals deplete if
you are uncertain if your water is properly balanced. Always
maintain your Classic Spa’s water chemistry within the
following parameters:
pH: pH is a measure of relative acidity or alkalinity of water and
is measured on a scale of 0 to 14. The midpoint of 7 is said to
be neutral, above which is alkaline and below which is acidic.
In Classic Spa water, it is very important to maintain a slightly
alkaline condition of 7.2 to 7.8.

Problems become proportionately severe the further outside of
this range the water gets. A low pH will be corrosive to metals in
the Classic Spa equipment. A high pH will cause minerals to deposit
on the interior surface (scaling), cloudy water, and a
prematurely dirty filter. In addition, the ability of the sanitation agents
to keep the Classic Spa clean is severely affected as the pH moves
beyond the ideal range. That is why almost all Classic Spa water test
kits contain a measure for pH as well as sanitizer. DO NOT use strong
acids like Hydrochloric acid or Muriatic acid to balance the pH as it
could severely damage the spa shell.
Sanitizer (Chlorine or Bromine): To destroy bacteria and organic
compounds in the Classic Spa water by breaking them down into
non-harmful levels which get filtered out. A sanitizer must be used
regularly, either chlorine or bromine. Sanitizing your spa water is the
most important spa maintenance you can do for yourself.
Total Alkalinity (TA) is the measure of the dissolved alkaline agents
such as carbonates and bicarbonates. These alkaline agents help
prevent rapid changes in pH by acting as a pH buffer. Controlling
alkalinity can help keep your pH in the appropriate range thereby
lessening the need for pH balancing.
If the TA is too low the pH level will fluctuate rapidly from high to low.
If the TA is too high the pH will tend to be too high and will be very
difficult to bring back down.
Calcium Hardness: This is a measurement of dissolved calcium in
the water. Calcium will help control the corrosive nature of the spa’s
water. Low calcium hardness causes spa and equipment corrosion
whereas high calcium hardness results in cloudy water and scale
build-up on the spa and the equipment.
WARNING: Never store chemicals inside the equipment area of your
spa.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use Hydrogen Peroxide based sanitizers in
your spa. When using Chlorine or Bromine tablets you must use a
floating dispenser. These chemicals can have an extremely corrosive
effect on certain materials in the spa. Damage caused by the use of
these chemicals, or improper use of any chemicals, is not covered
under the spa’s warranty.
OTHER ADDITIVES: Many other additives are available for your spa.
Some are necessary to compensate for out-of-balance water, some
aid in cosmetic water treatment and others simply alter the feel or
smell of the water. Your Authorized Dealer can advise you on the use
of these additives.
Look for these specialized cleaning attachments
at your local dealership.
WATER DIVERTER MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: Turn off the spa from main GFCI breaker to carry
out any maintenance procedures.
Steps to clean water diverters:
1. Pull the diverter cap off and rotate the diverter
body counter clockwise and pull out the assembly
(Picture 1a to 1c).
2. Using clean piece of cloth, remove the dust particles or
depositions (Picture 2).
3. Assemble the diverter body by inserting the body back by
rotating the jet body clockwise (Picture 3a and 3b). Attach
the diverter cap.
