Important Hot Tub Owner Information
Your hot tub is constructed to the highest standards and is capable of providing
many years of trouble-free use. However, because heat retentive materials are
utilized to insulate the hot tub for efficient operation, an uncovered hot tub sur-
face directly exposed to sunlight and high temperatures for an extended period
is subject to permanent damage. Damage caused by exposing the hot tub to this
abuse is not covered by warranty. We recommend that you always keep the hot
tub full of water when it is exposed to direct sunlight and that you keep the
insulat- ing cover in place at all times when the hot tub is not in use. Read and
carefully follow the requirements for your hot tub’s support base (found in the
section titled,
“Locating Your Hot Tub”, page 10).
Imperial Spas constantly strives to offer the finest hot tub available, therefore
modifications and enhancements may be made which affect the specifications,
illustrations and/or instructions contained herein.

CAUTION: Maintain water chemistry in accordance with manufacturer’s
instructions.
WARNING: The use of alcohol or drugs can greatly increase the risk of
fatal hyperthermia in hot tubs.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
HYPERTHERMIA Prolonged immersion in
hot water may induce hyperthermia. Adescription of the causes,
symptoms, and effects of hyperthermia are as follows:
Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches
alevel 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. The effects of hyper-
thermia include:
a) Unawareness of impending hazard;
b) Failure to perceive heat;
c) Failure to recognize the need to exit hot tub;
d) Physical inability to exit hot tub;
e) Fetal damage in pregnant women; and
f) Unconsciousness and danger of drowning.
Cautions
1. Persons suffering from heart disease, diabetes, high or low blood
pressure, and any condition requiring medical treatment, pregnant
women,the elderly, or infants should consult with aphysician before
using ahot tub.
2. The Consumer Products Safety Commission has stated that the
water temperature in ahot tub should not exceed 104˚F (40˚C).
Immersion in water in excess of 104˚F (40˚C) can be hazardous to
your health.
3. Observe areasonable time limit when using the hot tub. Long expo-
sures at higher temperatures can cause high body temperature.
Symptoms may include dizziness, nausea, fainting, drowsiness, and
reduced awareness. These effects could possibly result in drown-
ing.
4. Do not use the hot tub under the influence of alcohol, narcotics, or
Page 9

other drugs. Use of the hot tub under these conditions may lead to
serious consequences.
5. Always test the hot tub water temperature before entering the hot tub.
Enter and exit the hot tub slowly. Wet surfaces can be very slippery.
6. Never bring any electrical appliances into or near the hot tub. Never
operate any electrical appliances from inside the hot tub or when you
are wet.
7. Proper chemical maintenance of hot tub water is necessary to
maintain safe water and prevent possible damage to hot tub compo-
nents.
8. Use the hot tub straps and clip tie downs to secure the cover when
not in use. This will help to discourage unsupervised children from
entering the hot tub and keep the hot tub cover secure in high-wind
conditions. There is no representation that the cover, clip tie downs,
or actual locks will prevent access to the hot tub.
Locating Your Hot Tub
IMPORTANT: Because of the combined weight of the hot tub, water and
users, it is extremely important that the base upon which the hot tub rests
be smooth, flat, level and capable of uniformly supporting this weight,
without shifting or settling, for the entire time the hot tub is in place. If the
hot tub is placed on asurface which does not meet these requirements,
damage to the skirt and/or the hot tub shell may result. Damage caused
by improper support is not covered under warranty. It is the responsibility
of the hot tub owner to assure the integrity of the support over time.
We recommend apoured, reinforced concrete slab (minimum of 4inches
thick). Wood decking is also acceptable provided it is constructed so that
it meets the requirements outlined above.
The hot tub must be installed in such amanner as to provide drainage
away from the hot tub. Placing the hot tub in adepression without pro-
visions for proper drainage could allow rain, overflow and other casual
water to flood the equipment and create awet condition in which it would
sit.
For hot tubs which will be recessed into afloor or deck, install so as to
permit access to the equipment, either from above or below, for servicing.
Make certain that there are no obstructions which would prevent removal
of the cabinet side panels, especially on the side with the equipment bay
doors.
Page 10

In selecting the ideal outdoor location for your hot tub, we suggest that
you take into consideration 1) the proximity to change area and shelter
(especially in colder weather); 2) the pathway to and from your hot tub
(this should be free of debris so that dirt and leaves are not easily tracked
into the hot tub); 3) the closeness to trees and shrubbery (remember that
leaves and birds could create extra work in keeping the hot tub clean); 4)
asheltered environment (less wind and weather exposure can result in
lowered operation and maintenance costs); and 5) the overall enhance-
ment of your environment. It is preferable not to place the hot tub under
an unguttered roof overhang since run-off water will shorten the life
expectancy of the hot tub cover.
For indoor installations, be certain to make provisions for proper ventila-
tion. When the hot tub is in use, considerable amounts of moisture will
escape. This can damage certain surfaces over time.
If you have any questions regarding the placement or installation of your
hot tub, call [phone].
General Electrical Safety Instructions

tem. It contains the most advanced safety and self-protective equipment
in the industry. Nonetheless, this hot tub must be installed properly to
insure dependable usage. Please contact your local building department
should you have any questions regarding your installation.
Proper grounding is extremely important. Your hot tubs is equipped
with acurrent collector system. Apressure wire connector is provided on
the surface of the control box, located inside the equipment door to permit
connection of abonding wire between this point and any ground metal
equipment, metal water pipe or conduit within 5feet (1.5m) of the hot tub,
or copper clad grounding rod buried within 5feet (1.5m) of the hot tub.

Start Up Instructions
FOR BEST RESULTS, READ EACH STEP IN ITS ENTIRETY BEFORE
PROCEEDING WITH THAT STEP.
1. PREPARE THE HOT TUB FOR FILLING
•Clear all debris from the hot tub. (Although the hot tub shell has been
polished at the factory, you may want to treat it with aspecially for-
mulated hot tub cleaner and wax prior to filling the first time.)
•Remove either of the filter.
2. FILL THE HOT TUB
•Place the end of your garden hose into the pipe exposed when you
removed the filter cartridge.
Important: Always fill your hot tub through the filter pipe after draining.
Failure to do so may cause air to be trapped in the pump, preventing
the pump from circulating water.
NOTE: Never fill with water from awater softener. If your water
is extremely “hard”, it is preferable to fill half-way with hard water and
the rest of the way with softened water. Or, you may fill entirely with
hard water if you use aspecial water additive. (Contact Jacuzzi Spa
Division for any assistance or questions.)
Page 14

•Fill the hot tub until the water level is above all jets. Warning: Do not
over-fill.
•Remove the hose and replace the filter cartridge.
3. TURN ON THE POWER
Turn on the power to the hot tub at the home’s circuit breaker. The
heater and the pump’s low speed automatically activate and the LED
display on the control panel shows the water temperature.
4. ACTIVATE JETS
Press the JETS or JETS 1button on the control panel once to activate
pump 1in low speed. Press the button asecond time to activate pump
1in high speed and initiate maximum water flow to certain jets.
5. ADD START-UP CHEMICALS
Add the hot tub water chemicals (Contact Jacuzzi Spa Division for any
assistance or questions). (See the section titled MAINTAINING WATER
QUALITY (page 23)for general guidance.)
6. SET HOT TUB TO HEAT (Default Set Temp is 100˚F (38˚C))
To warm the hot tub water up to acomfortable temperature, follow these
steps:
•The LED display on the control panel displays the actual temperature
of the hot tub water. Press either the COOLER (Down) or WARMER
(Up) button to display the “set” temperature for 5seconds. If you
want the water to heat to adifferent temperature, simply press
COOLER or WARMER within 5seconds while the “set” temperature
is displayed. The set temperature advances or decreases by one
degree each time one of these sensor pads is pressed.
•The heater will turn off when the temperature corresponding to the
thermostat setting is achieved.
NOTE:
• The maximum temperature for which the hot tub can be set is 104˚F (40˚C)
and the minimum is 65˚F (18˚C).
•Setting the thermostat at maximum will not accelerate the heating
process. This will only result in ahigher ultimate temperature.
7. PLACE COVER ON HOT TUB
•Keeping the insulating cover in place anytime the hot tub is not in use
will reduce the time required for heating, thereby minimizing operat-
ing costs.
Page 15

•The time required for initial heat-up will vary depending on the starting
water temperature and the capacity of your hot tub. Smaller hot tubs
heat at arate of approximately 6to 8degrees per hour; larger hot
tubs heat at about 4to 6degrees per hour.

You must press the LIGHT button within 5seconds between each “off”
or “color” step in the light sequence to prevent it from resetting. Pressing
the button after 5seconds restarts the sequence at “Random Mode.”
This automatically changes the light color every 8to 20 seconds. Note:
Anytime the spa light is manually turned on, it will automatically turn off
after approximately 1hour. If you desire more light at this time, simply
turn the light back on.
JETS 1
The JETS 1button controls the 2-speed pump. Pressing this button
switches the pump from off, to low speed, to high speed, and back to
off.
JETS 2
The JETS 2button controls the high speed pump 2. Pressing this button
switches the pump from off, to high speed, and back to off.
NOTE: Auto Shut-off -- Anytime apump has been manually turned
on, it will automatically turn off after approximately 20 minutes. If at
this time you desire more jet operation, you may simply turn them
back on.
You will notice that occasionally, when you touch the button to turn off the
high speed of the pump, the low speed continues to operate. This is normal
if the hot tub is in the “Standard” mode and calling for heat, if afilter cycle is
in progress or if the heater has recently turned off. (After the heater turns off,
the pump continues to circulate water for approximately 30 seconds to cool
the heating element.)
WATERFALL FEATURE
The waterfall feature allows you to independently control it for acus-
tomized soothing effect. The JETS 1button activates the waterfall
feature. Then, the waterfall can be individually adjusted by using the
auxilary control knob located near the waterfall.
Initial Start Up
The hot tub control has automatic functions that operate upon start up.
Upon power up, the read out will display athree digit number that identi-
fies the software revision. This number will then change to “888” while the
system is booting up. Also during the boot up, all of the indicator LED’s
will be lit.
Page 17

At the end of the boot up, the water temperature will be displayed. If
the temperature is below 100˚F (38˚C), the low speed pump and the
heater will turn on until the temperature rises to the preset 100˚F (38˚C).
Approximately two minutes after the system has been initially powered
up, the first filtration cycle will begin to operate. Any time after the boot
up, you will be able to select apre-programmed filter cycle and reset your
temperature set point.
FILTRATION
Selecting Filter Cycles
Proper filtration is an important key to maintaining the clarity of your hot
tub’s water. The Filtration system is designed for unsurpassed effective-
ness at removing debris and suspensions from the water anytime the
water is circulating.
You may change the filtration cycle start time by one of the following meth-
ods:
1. Turn power to the hot tub off and then back on at the breaker, or
2. Press and hold for three seconds the “WARMER” and “COOLER”
buttons at the same time. When the currently set cycle appears (F1-
F6) press the jets 1button one time and the control will go into the
initial power up routine.
Example: If you want your first filter cycle start time to be at 4PM, perform
above functions just before the desired start time. Filter cycle start time
may vary slightly.
Your hot tub comes with six pre-programmed filtration cycles (F1-F6) and
two lockout modes (L1-L2). Of the six filter cycles, three cycles are in the
standard mode and three cycles are in the economy mode.
To change the filter cycles, press and hold the“WARMER” button and
“COOLER” buttons for 3seconds. This will get you into the filter cycle pro-
gramming mode. Use the “WARMER” and “COOLER” buttons to scroll
between F1 and L2. This numeric value coincides with aspecific filter
cycle that is to be used for filtration.
Filter Cycles
STANDARD MODE
Heating is automatically controlled by the loss of water temperature. If
the hot tub water drops 2˚F (1.2˚C) below the set temperature, the low
speed pump and the heater will automatically turn on. They will both
remain on until the water temperature reaches the temperature setpoint.
Page 18

NOTE: The initial time still operates the filter cycle in this mode to
ensure proper filtration.
F1 2hours of filtration every 12 hours
F2 2hours of filtration every 8hours
F3 2hours of filtration every 6hours
ECONOMY MODE
In this mode, the timer determines when the filtering and heating take
place.
F4 2hours of filtration every 12 hours
F5 2hours of filtration every 8hours
F6 2hours of filtration every 6hours
L1 LOCKOUT -special feature used when cleaning or changing the
filter cartridge or any type of non-electrical servicing that requires the hot
tub’s pump operation to be suspended while the work is completed. The
temperature readout flashes in this function.
NOTE: If the hot tub is heating when the system is put into the lock-
out mode, the heater will immediately turn off and the pump will cycle
water for thirty seconds, then turn off. This will assist in cooling the
heater element.
L2 LOCK MODE -Special feature to prevent unauthorized use of your
hot tub which disables Jets and Light buttons. Your filter cycles and heat-
ing will continue to operate normally. The temperature readout flashes in
this function.
Care and Maintenance of Your Hot Tub
Proper and regular maintenance of your hot tub will help it retain its beau-
ty and performance. Contact Jacuzzi Spa Division for any assistance or
questions.
CLEANING THE FILTER
Your hot tub is equipped with acartridge filters located in the skimmer/
filter well. Filtering is accomplished when the 2-speed pump 1, on
either high or low speed, causes water to flow through the polyester
mesh of the filters. As this happens, suspended particles become
trapped on the filter’s surface.
Page 19

To ensure optimum performance, it is necessary to remove and clean
the filter cartridges, usually once aweek, depending on usage and water
quality. To accomplish this, follow these steps:
1. Turn off power to the hot tub at the home’s breaker panel.
2. Remove the filter lid.
3. Remove the filter cartridges by unthreading from the wall fitting.
4. Using agarden hose with ahigh-pressure nozzle, rinse debris from
the filter pleats beginning at the top and working your way down-
ward. Continue, one section at atime, until you have rinsed all of the
filter’s pleats.
Periodically, the filter cartridges will need amore thorough cleaning to
remove imbedded oils and minerals. For this, we suggest cleaning as
above and then soaking the cartridges overnight in aplastic container
filled with asolution of water and aspecially formulated filter cleanser.
Contact Jacuzzi Spa Division for any assistance or questions.
The average life expectancy of afilter cartridge is approximately two
years with proper care and water quality maintenance. Contact Jacuzzi
Spa Division for any assistance or questions.
OZONATORS
The Ozone is injected into the water to supplement chemical sanitizers,
kill bacteria, oxidize organics and control minerals. Ozone is injected
anytime the pump is turned on automatically like in heat call or filter
cycles. The ozonator will turn off anytime the pump is manually activated
by pressing the jets button. It will remain off until five minutes after that
specific function has been turned off.
DRAINING AND REFILLING
CAUTION: There are certain precautions to keep in mind when
draining your hot tub. If it is extremely cold, and the hot tub is out-
doors, freezing could occur in the lines or the equipment. On the
other hand, if it is hot outdoors, do not leave the hot tub’s surface
exposed to direct sunlight for long periods.
To drain your hot tub, remove the front cabinet panel and locate the drain
hose. Pull out the drain hose. Raise the end of the hose above the water
level, remove the cap and connect agarden hose to the male garden
hose fitting. Lay the garden hose away from the equipment and turn the
knob on the valve to drain the hot tub.
Be sure to close the valve, disconnect the garden hose and replace the
cap before refilling. After refilling, turn the power back on.

After refilling, turn on power to the spa and follow the steps listed under
“Start-Up Instructions.”
CLEANING THE HOT TUB SURFACE
To preserve your hot tub’s surface, it is crucial that you avoid using bra-
sive cleaners or cleansers which have adverse chemical effect on the
surface. If you are not certain as to the suitability of aparticular cleans-
er, contact Jacuzzi Spa Division for any assistance or questions.
Regardless of the cleanser used, use care to assure that no soap residue
is left on the surface. This could cause severe sudsing when the hot tub
is refilled.
Contact Jacuzzi Spa Division for any assistance or questions on specially
formulated surface cleaners and sealants which aid in cleaning the hot
tub surface and adding aprotective coating to enhance the luster of the
surface.
MAINTAINING THE SYNTHETIC CABINET
Your new spa’s synthetic cabinet requires little or no maintenance of any
kind. To clean, simply wipe the cabinet with aclean towel and amild soap
solution.
NOTE: Never spray cabinet with agarden hose for any reason since
this action may induce an electrical short in the spa’s electrical equip-
ment.
MAINTAINING THE COVER
Using the insulating hot tub cover anytime the hot tub is not in use will
significantly reduce your operating costs, heatup time and maintenance
requirements.
To prolong the life of the cover, handle it with care and clean it regularly
using mild soap and water. Periodic treatments with aquality vinyl condi-
tioner will help protect against deterioration caused by UV rays from the
sun. Never allow anyone to stand or sit on the cover, and avoid dragging
it across rough surfaces.
WINTERIZING
Your hot tub is designed to automatically protect itself against freeze dam-
age when operating properly. Refer to “ICE -Freeze Condition” details
on page 25. During periods of severe freezing temperatures, you should
periodically check to be certain the hot tub’s electrical supply has not been
interrupted. In extreme, bitter cold weather with ambient temperatures of
-20°F (-29°C) or colder, the hot tub must be drained and purged to prevent
freeze damage.
