CHOOSING A LOCATION FOR THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA
There are many factors to consider when choosing a location to set up the hydrotherapy spa. These factors vary
depending on whether you use the hydrotherapy spa inside or outside. We have listed several factors you may
wish to consider as you decide where you want to use the hydrotherapy spa.
I you set up the hydrotherapy spa inside:
1. The hydrotherapy spa will increase the level of
humidity in your home. The location you choose
should be well ventilated. You may need to install
a ventilation fan or use a dehumidifier.
2. The hydrotherapy spa should be close to a source
of water.
3. Do not use the hydrotherapy spa on carpet or
other material that may be damaged by moisture.
We recommend that you place the hydrotherapy
spa on a water- and stain-resistant, non-slip sur-
face with a floor drain for any water that may
splash from the hydrotherapy spa.
4. Be sure that the location you choose is stable. It
must be able to support the weight of the
hydrotherapy spa when it is filled with water, plus
the weight of the occupants. The hydrotherapy
spa weighs approximately 2,000 pounds (908 kgs)
when filled with water.
5. Do not use the hydrotherapy spa above a finished
living area, due to the risk of water damage.
6. Make sure that there is enough room around the
hydrotherapy spa to permit servicing. The dimen-
sions of the spa are: 5’ 10” W x 6’ 4” L x 2’ 6” H
(153 cm x 183 cm x 61 cm). Allow for this size
when choosing the location.
7. The hydrotherapy spa is not designed for in-floor
installation. However, it is compatible with a deck
system that is built flush with the top of the spa,
provided you leave access to the motor for servic-
ing.
8. Make sure to note any other considerations, such
as aesthetics or privacy concerns, that may affect
the safety or enjoyment of using the hydrotherapy
spa.
I you set up the hydrotherapy spa outside:
1. Check your local building codes concerning the
use of outdoor spas.
2. The hydrotherapy spa should be close to a source
of water.
3. We recommend that you place the hydrotherapy
spa on a water- and stain-resistant, non-slip sur-
face. Do not use the hydrotherapy spa on rough
or sharp surfaces such as gravel or wood chips.
4. Make sure that the location you choose is stable.
It must be able to support the weight of the
hydrotherapy spa when it is filled with water, plus
the weight of the occupants. The hydrotherapy
spa weighs approximately 2,000 pounds (908 kgs)
when filled with water.
5. Consider environmental factors such as rain, wind,
shade, sunlight, etc.
6. You should be able to monitor the use of the
hydrotherapy spa from your home to prevent
unauthorized use by children. You may want to
enclose the spa with a fence and self-latching
gate to prevent unauthorized use.
7. Make sure that there is enough room around the
hydrotherapy spa to permit servicing. The dimen-
sions of the spa are: 5’ 10” W x 6’ 4” L x 2’ 6” H
(153 cm x 183 cm x 61 cm). Allow for this size
when choosing the location.
8. The hydrotherapy spa is not designed for in-
ground installation. However, it is compatible with
a deck system that is built flush with the top of the
spa, provided you leave access to the motor for
servicing.
9. Make sure to note any other considerations, such
as aesthetics or privacy, that may affect the safety
or enjoyment of using the hydrotherapy spa.

USING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA
The hydrotherapy spa is designed to seat five adults.
The fifteen thera-jets can be regulated to provide a
relaxing massage to sooth away stress, and the
strength of the water massage can be adjusted by the
air control. The hydrotherapy spa holds 200 gallons
(167 imperial gallons, 757 liters) of water and offers
an automatic, programmable heating (70° to 104° ,
21°C to 40°C) and filtration system.
The guidelines below explain how to properly use and
maintain the hydrotherapy spa for your long-term
enjoyment.
PLUGGING IN THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA
Important: The hydrotherapy spa is equipped with a
120/240V convertible electronics package. Operation
at 240V will allow the heater to run more efficiently
and less often. Conversion o the spa to 240V oper-
ation must be per ormed only by a quali ied,
licensed electrician and must comply with all
local, state, and ederal electrical codes. Please
refer to the instructions on the inside of the electronics
package for information about converting the spa to
240V operation.
Once the hydrotherapy spa is filled with water, the
power cord can be plugged in and the spa can be
turned on. Note: The first time the power cord is
plugged in, the spa will turn on automatically.
When connecting the power cord, plug the power cord
directly into a grounded circuit capable of carrying 15
or more amps. No other appliance should be on the
same circuit. Replace the power cord immediately if it
becomes damaged.
There is a Ground
ault Circuit
Interrupter (G CI)
on the end of the
power cord. Always
test the G CI
before using the
hydrotherapy spa.
irst, turn on the
spa by pressing the
jet control on the
console (see USING THE CONSOLE on page 13).
Once the unit is running, press the G CI “test” button.
The spa should shut off. Press the “reset” button. The
spa should resume normal operation. If the spa contin-
ues to run after the “test” button is pressed, the G CI is
damaged. Do not use the spa until the G CI has been
repaired or replaced by a qualified electrician.
TESTING AND TREATING THE WATER
The hydrotherapy spa comes with a starter chemical
pack for maintaining the water in the spa. Disregard
the directions on the individual packages of “QUICK
pHix It DOWN” and “QUICK pHix It UP.” However, the
directions on the bottles of “Non-chlorine Shox” and
“Bromine Base” are correct. Always keep the chemi-
cals away rom children and pets.
The first time you use the spa, you should test and
treat the water. You must also treat the water each
time you re ill the spa. Once you have verified that
the spa is functioning properly, and the water has cir-
culated for a while, remove the spa cover and add 1/3
of the “Bromine Base” bottle, and 1/3 of the “Non-
chlorine Shox” bottle to the water. Allow the water to
circulate for five minutes. You should now test the pH
of the water using the included pH test kit. The pH
reading should be between 7.2 and 7.8.
If the level is too low, add one teaspoon from one of
the “QUICK pHix It UP” packets to the water. Let the
water circulate through the spa for five minutes. Test
the pH level again. Repeat until the pH level is cor-
rect.
If the level is too high, add one teaspoon from one of
the “QUICK pHix It DOWN” packets to the water. Let
the water circulate through the spa for five minutes.
Test the pH level again. Repeat until the pH level is
correct.
See WATER CHEMISTRY on page 16 for information
concerning proper water maintenance.
STARTING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA
Once you have tested the G CI, you should verify the
water flow from the pumping unit. Set the air control
on the console to the lowest setting (see USING THE
CONSOLE on page 13). The pumping unit will heat
the water as it pumps. Cover the hydrotherapy spa
with the spa cover. The spa cover must be tight.
(See SECURING THE SPA COVER on page 14.) The
water will heat at about 2° (1°C) per hour with the
cover on. If you are using the spa indoors and the
room temperature is maintained at 70° (21°C), it will
take approximately 24 to 26 hours for the water to
reach the set temperature. If your spa has been con-
verted to 240V operation, it will heat in approximately
8 hours.
The temperature and water flow can be set or
changed using the controls on the console (see
USING THE CONSOLE on page 13).

The suction covers should always be in place over
the suction vents. Never operate the spa without
the suction covers in place.
The ilter (E) can be removed for cleaning and
replacement (see CHECKING AND CLEANING THE
ILTER on page 18).
The temperature probe ( ) reads the current water
temperature, which is displayed on the console.
The spa also has a light (G) for your safety and con-
venience during evening use.
Use of the console (H) is explained on pages 13 and
14 of this manual.
Note: The spa offers automatic freeze protection. If
the water temperature falls below 40° (14°C), the

Temperature Buttons: Control the temperature setting
of the water. The temperature can be set from 70° to
104° . The water heats at about 1.8° per hour with
the cover on. Use a medical or other accurate ther-
mometer to check the temperature of the water. Note:
The word “COOL” will appear in the console display if
the temperature of the water is more than 20° cooler
than the set temperature. When this happens, the
heater will automatically activate to warm the water.
The word “ICE” will appear in the display if the tem-
perature drops below 40° . If this happens, the pump
will automatically circulate the water and warm the
plumbing to keep the water from freezing.
The temperature buttons can also be used to change
the filter cycle time. irst, press either of the tempera-
ture buttons. While the console display is flashing,
press the jet button. The letters “ C” should appear in
the display. Next, press the temperature buttons to
select a 2-, 4-, or 6-hour filter cycle time. Then, press
the jet button again. If the filter cycle time is not
changed, it will default to 2 hours.
Jet Button: Turns the spa jets on and off. If the but-
ton is pressed once, the spa jets will run at low speed,
providing gentle hydrotherapy. If the button is pressed
again, the jets will run at high speed, providing more
intense hydrotherapy. If the button is pressed a third
time, the jets will shut off.
The spa also features an automatic mode that heats
and filters the water when the spa is left unattended.
When the spa is first plugged in, or if the buttons on
the console have not been pressed for longer than
twenty minutes, the automatic mode will begin filtering
or heating the water as needed. Note: To keep the
ilter and heat cycles rom running, the power
cord must be unplugged.
Light Button: Turns the underwater light on and off.
Air Control: Determines the amount of air flowing
through the hydrotherapy jets during operation. If the
control is turned counterclockwise, the amount of air
flowing through the jets will increase. If the control is
turned clockwise, the amount of air will decrease.

The hydrotherapy spa is designed to provide you with
years of enjoyment. Please follow the guidelines
below to properly maintain the spa.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
DAILY
• Check the water level and refill the spa to the level
shown in step 3 on page 9.
• Check the pH balance and the sanitizer level and
adjust them if necessary (see WATER CHEMISTRY
on page 16).
• Clean the surface of the water with a skimming net.
WEEKLY
• Clean the spa shell at the waterline.
• Check and thoroughly clean the filter (see CHECK-
ING AND CLEANING THE ILTER on page 18).
Replace the filter if necessary (see ORDERING
REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover).
MONTHLY
• Clean the spa cover (see MAINTAINING THE SPA
COVER at the right).
• Soak the filter for two hours in a trisodium phos-
phate (TSP) solution. Rinse the filter in clean water.
• Replace the filter if necessary (see ORDERING
REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover).
EVERY THREE MONTHS
• Drain the spa and refill it with clean water. Sanitize
and test the pH of the water.
• Check for any leaks around the pump or joints in
the pipes. The seals will wear out over time; detect-
ing leaks early can reduce repair costs.
• Clean the interior of the spa. Do not use solvents or
waxes.
EVERY SIX MONTHS
• Treat the exterior with a wood sealant (see MAIN-
TAINING THE SPA EXTERIOR below).
MAINTAINING THE SPA EXTERIOR
The wood panel exterior has been treated with a
sealant at the factory to protect it from water damage.
We suggest that you treat the wood panel exterior
twice a year with an additional coat of weather
sealant. Contact your local spa and pool supplier for
advice on which sealants work best in your climate.
CLEANING THE SPA SHELL
The spa shell should be cleaned with a mild soap
solution. Do not use solvents. The spa should always
be clean and dry before being moved or stored.
MAINTAINING THE SPA COVER
The entire spa cover should be cleaned monthly with
a non-abrasive cleaner. After cleaning the spa cover,
rinse it with a garden hose to remove any cleaner
residue and then thoroughly dry it. Next, apply a non-
silicone based vinyl conditioner to the cover to protect
it from sun damage.
REPLACING THE LIGHT BULB
If the light in the spa burns out, you will need to
remove the access cover in order to replace it (see
ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE ACCESS
COVER on page 16). Next, locate the light housing.
Turn the housing counterclockwise and remove.
To replace the light bulb, pull the old bulb out of the
housing and insert a new light bulb. Re-attach the
light housing to the spa shell. Re-attach the access
cover to the spa unit.
SANITIZING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA
Please refer to your local pool and spa supplier for
information about which chemicals you should use in
your area to sanitize the spa. The most common sani-
tizing agent is a solid bromine concentrate. The
amount required varies according to factors such as
user load, temperature, water conditions, etc.
Proper water maintenance is a complex process. We
recommend that you contact your local pool and spa
supplier for information about how to accomplish this.

WATER CHEMISTRY
The hydrotherapy spa comes with a starter chemical
pack for maintaining the water in the spa. (See TEST-
ING AND TREATING THE WATER on page 11.)
Additional chemicals can be purchased at a pool and
spa supply store.
CAUTION: The chemicals used to maintain the pH
balance o the water and to sanitize the water can
be dangerous. Always ollow these basic guide-
lines when handling the chemicals:
1. Always read and ollow the directions on the
label, unless directed otherwise.
2. Never mix di erent chemicals.
3. Do not exceed the recommended amounts o
chemicals— ollow the directions on the label
closely.
4. Keep all chemicals out o the reach o children
and pets.
5. Keep all containers closed tightly when not in
use.
6. Never add water to the chemicals—always add
the chemicals to the water as directed.
7. Always store chemicals in a cool, dry place.
MAINTAINING THE PROPER PH BALANCE
The pH factor is a measure of relative acidity or alka-
linity in the water. It is measured on a scale of 1 to 14.
Pure water has a value of 7, which is neutral. Any
value above 7 is alkaline, and any value below 7 is
acidic. You should maintain a slightly alkaline pH level,
between 7.2 and 7.8, in the hydrotherapy spa.
Severe problems can occur when the pH balance is
not maintained within this range. If the pH level
exceeds 7.8, dissolved minerals can build up and clog
the plumbing in the spa jet unit. If the pH level falls
below 7.2, the acid level in the water will begin to cor-
rode the metal parts in the spa jet unit. Also, the sani-
tation agents in the water will not be effective if the pH
level is not properly maintained. Damage caused by
improper pH levels is not covered under the warranty.
To maintain the proper pH level, test the pH of the
water regularly using the included pH test kit. The pH
reading should be between 7.2 and 7.8. If the level is
too low, add a pH increaser (usually soda ash). If the
level is too high, add a pH reducer (usually sodium
bisulfate). Test the water again after five minutes. See
the instructions with your pH test kit for additional
information about testing and adjusting the pH.
ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE ACCESS COVER
To locate the access panel, refer to the drawing on
page 6. Turn off the power to the spa. To remove the
access cover, first remove the four access cover
screws. Slide the access cover down and then pull the
bottom of it away from the spa. Be care ul not to
damage the spa shell as you remove the cover.
If the spa will be stored for any period of time, place
the power cord inside the spa unit before re-attaching
the access cover.
To reattach the access cover, insert the top of the
cover under the edge of the spa shell. Slide the cover
up until the bottom of the cover clears the trim along
the bottom of the spa. Slide the cover into place and
re-attach it with the two access cover screws.
DRAINING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA
The hydrotherapy spa should be drained at least four
times a year and refilled with clean water. You may
need to drain the spa more often, depending on the
user load. This must be done because after repeated
chemical treatment, the water becomes chemically
saturated. Once this happens, additional chemical
treatment of the water is not effective. The spa should
also be drained if you will not be using it for long peri-
ods of time. The spa must always be drained before
major repairs are made.
The hydrotherapy spa should always be covered
when it is empty. Direct sunlight can cause exten-
sive damage. The sur ace o the spa shell can
reach temperatures as high as 150° F in a matter
o minutes i it is exposed to the sun while it is
empty. Such high temperatures can cause signi i-
cant damage, such as blistering o the shell sur-
ace and warping o the spa shell. Any damage
caused by sun exposure is not covered under war-
ranty.

To drain the hydrotherapy spa, follow these steps:
1. Set the water temperature to the lowest setting.
2. Shut off the circuit breaker or G CI.
3. Remove the access cover from the spa.
4. Remove the drain hose from the clip and attach a
garden hose to the valve on the drain hose.
5. Open the valve by turning the knob counterclock-
wise. The water will begin to drain.
6. When the spa is empty, close the valve and
remove the garden hose. Return the drain hose
to the clip and replace the access cover.
7. Refill the spa and treat the water with chemicals
(see pages 9, 11, and 16).
DRAINING THE PUMP
After the hydrotherapy spa is drained (see DRAINING
THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA on page 16), the pump
in the spa jet unit should also be drained if the
hydrotherapy spa will be stored for more than thirty
days or if it may be exposed to freezing tempera-
tures.
To drain the pump,
first remove the
access cover from the
spa (see ATTACHING
AND REMOVING
THE ACCESS
COVER on page 16).
Locate the pump
inside the spa unit.
Remove the drain plug from the pump. Tip the spa jet
unit slightly until all the water has drained from the
pump. Replace the drain plug.
OPENING AND CLOSING THE CUT-OFF VALVES
or minor repairs to the pump or motor, the cut-off
valves can be closed (see the drawing at the top of
the next column). To close the valves, first remove
the access cover from the spa. Locate the two cut-off
valves. Push the handles into the closed position and
turn the handles until they lock into place.
If you are planning to work on the pump or motor, you
will also need to drain the pump (see this page).
To open the valves, turn the handles until they are
unlocked and then pull the handles out to the open
position.
WINTER USE AND CARE
The hydrotherapy spa is designed for year-round use.
If you decide to store the spa for the winter, store it in
a warm, dry location. ollow the steps below to win-
terize the spa.
1. Drain the spa (see DRAINING THE
HYDROTHERAPY SPA on page 16).
2. Remove all remaining water from the spa shell.
Dry the spa shell with towels.
3. Set the air control on the console to the lowest
setting. Use a wet/dry vacuum to pull any remain-
ing water from the system. To do this, place the
vacuum nozzle over each thera-jet, starting with
the highest jet and finishing with the lowest one.
4. Set the air control on the console to the highest
setting and repeat step 3.
5. Drain the pump (see DRAINING THE PUMP on
this page). Once the water has drained from the
pump, place the vacuum nozzle over the
drainage hole in the pump and vacuum any addi-
tional water from the pump. Note: For additional
protection you can remove the pump/motor
rom the spa to store it in a climate controlled
room.
6. Clean the spa shell (see page 15).
7. Clean the filter (see page 18).
8. A qualified electrician should disconnect the
power cord from the 240 volt power source if so
wired.
9. Re-attach the access cover and re-attach the spa
cover.

CONVERTING THE SPA TO A 240 VOLT
POWER SOURCE
The hydrotherapy spa is designed to operate with
either a 120v power source or a 240v power source.
or your convenience, the spa is shipped ready to
accept a 120v power source. However, you can great-
ly improve the performance of the spa by converting
the spa’s power supply to receive power from a 240v
power source. If the spa is converted, it must be wired
directly into an approved 240v G CI in your home by
a licensed, qualified electrician in accordance with all
local, state, and national electrical codes.
CHECKING AND CLEANING THE FILTER
The filter should be checked periodically for build-up
of dirt and oil. To check or clean the filter, follow the
steps below.
Removing and Cleaning the Basket:
1. Turn off the power.
2. Locate the filter housing in one corner of the spa.
Grip the tab on the filter door and pull it open.
3. Reach into the basket with four fingers and pull
the basket towards you until it snaps free.
4. Lift the basket out of the filter housing by pulling
on the handle on the far side and turning the bas-
ket towards you.
5. Clean the basket by spraying it with a garden
hose or holding it under a faucet. Note: Avoid
hitting the basket against objects to clean it,
since this may break the basket.
6. Put the basket back into the housing and press it
down until it snaps into place.
7. Close the filter door.
Removing and Cleaning the Filter Cartridges:
1. ollow steps 1 through 4 at the left to remove the
basket.
2. Reach into the housing and locate the plastic
diverter on top of the filter cartridges. Rotate the
valve on the diverter until it is fully open.
3. Stick two fingers into the holes in the diverter and
lift the diverter and the upper filter cartridge
directly upwards until the edge of the diverter
clears the housing. Then, tip the diverter towards
yourself and pull it out. Note: If the diverter
comes off the filter cartridge, reach into the hous-
ing and lift out the upper filter cartridge.
4. Lift the lower filter cartridge out of the housing.
5. Clean the filter cartridges with a garden hose or
under a faucet. Spray each pleat from top to bot-
tom. Note: To avoid damaging the ilter car-
tridges, do not use a brush to clean them.
6. To remove body oils or sun tan lotions, soak the
filter cartridges in a cleaning solution purchased
from a pool and spa supply store.
7. Inspect the filter cartridges for damage. Replace
the filter cartridges if there is any sign of damage.
8. Put one filter cartridge back into the housing.
9. Push the tube on the diverter into the other filter
cartridge as far as it will go. Put the other filter
cartridge into the housing.
10. Put the basket back into the housing and press it
down until it snaps into place. Close the filter door.
ADJUSTING THE FILTER DIVERTER
The diverter regulates the flow of water to the filter in
order to make the pump run smoothly. Open the
diverter fully to begin with. If the pump runs smoothly,
no further adjustment is necessary.
If the pump begins to cavitate (if you hear a “cracking”
sound or if the speed of the pump surges up then
slows down repeatedly), turn the valve slightly to
reduce the water flow. Keep adjusting the valve in
small increments until the pump runs smoothly.

cuit breaker or the G CI trips again, contact a
qualified electrician for service.
3. SYMPTOM: THE PUMP HUMS
a. The filter cartridges may be dirty or damaged.
Remove the cartridges from the filter housing
and clean or replace the cartridges (see page
18).
b. The pump may have a foreign object stuck in
the impeller. Contact our customer service
department.
c. The pump may have a loose wire connection.
Contact our customer service department.
4. SYMPTOM: THE PUMP HUMS BUT DOES NOT
ROTATE
a. The pump may be jammed. Contact our cus-
tomer service department. If your spa is no
longer under warranty, you may contact a local
spa and pool service provider.
5. SYMPTOM: THE PUMP IS NOISY WHILE
OPERATING
a. There may be debris in the pump. Contact our
customer service department.
b. The pump may have a bad bearing. Contact
our customer service department.
6. SYMPTOM: THE WATER DOES NOT HEAT
a. Make sure that the hydrotherapy spa is fully
covered with the spa cover. The spa cover
must be tight or the water to heat. Set the
air control to low. Set the temperature to the
desired setting. The water will heat at 2°
(1°C) per hour. If you are using the spa indoors,
and the room temperature is maintained at
70° (21°C), it will take approximately 24 to 36
hours for the water to reach the set
temperature.
b. If you are using the hydrotherapy spa outdoors,
it may take longer for the water to heat. See the
chart below for the approximate heating time.
Air Temperature Heating Time
70° + (21°C+) 24 to 36 hours
50° to 70° (10°C 21 to°C) 2 to 3 days
30° to 50° (1°C to 10°C) 3 to 4 days
b. If the water still has not heated after four days,
contact our customer service department.
c. If actual water temperature is lower that the set
temperature, and the Heat On LED indicator on
the console is not lit, contact our customer
service department.
7. SYMPTOM: THE WATER IS NOT BEING
CLEANED BY THE FILTER
a. Check to see if the filter is in place. Clean the
filter if it is dirty.
b. Check the chemical balance of the water. If the
pH is incorrect, the sanitizing agents will not
function properly.
8. SYMPTOM: THE WATER PULSATES OR
THERE IS MINIMUM WATER FLOW
a. Adjust the water level. This usually occurs only
when the water level is low. Add water until the
thera-jets are covered (see step 4 on page 9).
9. SYMPTOM: THE WATER LEVEL DROPS
a. Some water loss due to evaporation is normal.
If rapid water loss occurs, or if you notice wet-
ness on the floor around the hydrotherapy spa,
then the spa shell may have a leak. Contact
your local spa and pool service provider for
repairs.
