LOCATION AND INSTALLATION
Proper planning is an important consideration when installing your new spa / hot tub.
Site selection is a critical step and requires serious thought. Planning ahead makes the
installation process easier. The following information is provided to assist you in site
preparations.
1. Always comply with local building codes and obtain any necessary permits. You
may also need to consult with an engineer to address your specific design
needs.
2. Contact an electrician to assess your electrical needs, install wiring, and ensure
a safe operation.
3. Position your spa / hot tub with proper access to water, drainage, and electricity.
4. Place your spa / hot tub on a uniform solid, flat surface designed to properly
support its weight. For external installations, a 4-inch (10 cm) thick cement pad
suffices.
5. For internal installations, check the load carrying capabilities of the floor on
which the spa will reside. Most homes meet the requirement of 250 pounds per
square foot.
6. Ensure that your spa / hot tub will fit into the space you have chosen and the
delivery route will accommodate its large size.
7. Provide adequate ventilation for the humidity created by your spa / hot tub. In
most cases, the Color Coordinated Cover is sufficient.
8. Protect the pump and all equipment from the weather by ensuring the cabinet
panels are secure at all times.
9. Allow 36 inches (1 meter) of unobstructed access to all sides of your spa / hot
tub for normal servicing. Your spa / hot tub is not designed to be recessed in the
ground or in a deck.
10.Consider positioning your spa / hot tub out
of or adequately protecting it from the
wind. Just as people can get cold on cool/
windy days so can your spa / hot tub.
Windy environments can significantly in-
crease operating costs.
11.Consider using an insulating pad. In cold
climates, the ground can rob heat from
the spa / hot tub and increase your oper-
ating costs. Consider using a suitable,
outdoor insulating pad in such environ-
ments.

ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Important: Qualified and licensed electricians must perform all electrical hookups.
The following specifications must be followed in order to ensure proper performance
and safety.
Starting an incorrectly wired spa / hot tub could cause severe damage
to the mechanical equipment or even bodily harm. Have your licensed
electrician verify GFCI wiring with the schematics on page 13-14 prior to
starting the spa / hot tub or call your dealer.
Failure to abide by specifications listed may result in damage to the
equipment and will void the warranty.
Test the GFCI before each use of the spa / hot tub.
All spa / hot tubs must be wired with a Siemens breaker (or according to IEEE wire
regulations for export models). Failure to do so will cause equipment damage and will
not be covered under your guarantee. All spa / hot tubs must be protected with an over
current protective device with built-in GFCI in the service panel.

CAUTION

13
For HELP, call La-Z-Boy®Spas at 1.800.465.2933.
Parts with extra low voltage (not exceeding 12V) must be inaccessible to a person in
the spa / hot tub. Earthed appliances must be permanently connected to fixed wiring.
Parts incorporating electrical components must be located or fixed so that they
cannot fall into the spa / hot tub.
Means for disconnection must be used with fixed wiring configurations in accordance
with local wiring rules.
IMPORTANT: To allow the GFCI to function properly, connect the white Neutral wire
from the spa / hot tub to the Neutral terminal on the GFCI breaker, not the Neutral bus
bar in the GFCI breaker box. An improperly connected Neutral causes the GFCI
breaker to trip.
Figure 2 - GFCI Wiring
Disconnect the electrical power before servicing. Before obtaining
access to terminals, all supply circuits must be disconnected.
WARNING

IMPORTANT: Use only a Siemens GFCI Circuit Breaker. Installation, including se-
lection of conductor size and type, must be performed by a qualified electrician in ac-
cordance with the National Electrical Code or the Canadian Electrical Code, and all
federal, state and local codes and regulations in effect at the time of installation.
NOTE: The white neutral wire from the
edge of the GFCI must be connected
to the incoming line neutral. The inter-
nal mechanism of the GFCI requires
this neutral connection. The GFCI will
not work without it.

BEFORE ADDING WATER
Before adding water, go through these simple steps now to prevent common issues
when setting up your spa / hot tub for the first time. Verify that the following have all
been rechecked.
1. Turn off all power at the main breaker panel.
2. Open the side panels to access the internal components.
3. Check that all slide valves are opened (service T-handles
pulled out) to the heater and all pumps.
4. Check that there are no obvious signs of loose wires or
broken pipes.
5. Check that the two heater unions are tight. Figure 5 - Valve Open/Closed
6. Check that the unions on all pumps are tight.
7. Clean out any foreign debris from within the service access area or inside of the
spa / hot tub itself.
8. With the drain open and filters removed, thoroughly rinse out the spa / hot tub with
warm water until the drained water runs clear. Run water through the filtration
canister and jet lines to remove any incidental dust, dirt, and debris that may have
accumulated during shipment or installation. Drain all water completely.
9. Make sure that the spa / hot tub drain valve is closed and the cap is on tight (see
page 49).
10.Install the filters in the filtration canister.
11.Check that all of the jets are open (turned full counter-clockwise – except for 5”
spinner jets which open clockwise).
12.Now is the best time to clean and polish the surfaces of your spa (see page 50).
Figure 6 - Unions Tight
Do not use a wrench. Over-tightening may cause damage to union and
gaskets, which will not be covered the Guarantee.
CAUTION

17
For HELP, call La-Z-Boy®Spas at 1.800.465.2933.
FILLING YOUR SPA
Now it's time to fill your spa / hot tub with water. Do not turn
on the electricity yet, until the spa / hot tub is completely
filled. To properly fill your spa / hot tub:
1. Make sure that the filters (in the filtration canister) are
gently screwed into place. Turn them clockwise until
they stop, being careful not to over-tighten them (this
avoids cracking the filter).
2. Connect a standard garden hose to a faucet with regular
cold tap water (not softened water or hot water). Figure 7 - Filtration Canister
The water from your hot water tank should not be used to fill the
spa / hot tub.
3. Put the pre-filter* on the other end of the hose, point the pre-filter into a suitable
drain, turn on the water, and allow any sediment to be flushed down the drain.
Once the water stream runs clear, turn off the hose.
4. Put the pre-filter (if equipped) into the filtration canister and turn on the hose.
5. Fill slowly. If too much water pressure is used, foaming water can force air into
the pipes and cause startup problems.
* Pre-filters are available at most dealers
Important: To ensure that the pump is properly primed, fill the spa / hot tub through
the filter area only.
6. Fill the spa / hot tub until the water level is about 6” below the top lip of the spa /
hot tub. Do not over fill.
Note: Every person entering a spa / hot tub displaces a given volume of water, so
adjust water level to the number of people regularly using the spa / hot tub.
Turn off the hose and check again for any small leaks.
CAUTION

18
For HELP, call La-Z-Boy®Spas at 1.800.465.2933.
OPERATIONAL CHECKS
By now you have rechecked your spa / hot tub mechanical connections and filled it
with water through the pre-filter (if equipped). Turn on power to the spa / hot tub at the
main breaker panel and test the operation of the electrical system. If you encounter a
problem, please reference the troubleshooting guide on page 42.
1. Turn on the breaker and test the operation of the Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) breaker by pushing the small button. This should automatically trip the spa /
hot tub circuit breaker. Only if pushing this button successfully trips this circuit
breaker should you reset this breaker and proceed to the next step.
If this breaker does not trip, immediately call your electrician.
Do not use your spa / hot tub!
2. Go to the topside control panel and look at
the display. The system goes through a brief
startup sequence after which Pump 1 starts
in filtration mode and the panel displays the
current water temperature.
3. Press the Pump 1 button . You should hear the first AquaFlex Massage
pump turn on a higher speed, see water circulating in the spa, see the icon swirl on
the display, and see CO in the AquaFlex Massage Control (see page 31).
Figure 8 – Topside Control Panel
CAUTION
DANGER
INITIAL START UP PROCEDURE
Do not turn on any pump until your spa is properly filled with
water. Running any pump without water in your spa can cause
IMMEDIATE damage, which is not covered by the guarantee!

19
For HELP, call La-Z-Boy®Spas at 1.800.465.2933.
If water does not flow from the jets after 2 minutes, turn power off
at the main panel and bleed air from the system (see page 41).
Turn power on again. Sometimes momentarily turning a pump off/
on will prime it. Only do this four times.
4. Press again. You should hear the first pump turn on a higher speed and
the icon swirl faster.
Note: Repeatedly pressing the button raises the speed each time (40%, 60%, 100%,
and OFF*).
5. If the water is running smoothly through the lines, open the air control valve, you
should see an increase in jet pressure. Check and adjust the water/airflow of every
jet if necessary. Do this for all pumps to ensure proper operation. Each jet** in your
spa / hot tub can be adjusted for directional flow. Turn the outer jet dial fully
counterclockwise to permit water flow from a jet and allow the AquaFlex Massage
control the intensity. Pivot the angle of a jet to achieve an optimal massage. Adding
an air mixture intensifies the level of your massage. Turn the air control valve
counterclockwise to increase the air mixture and clockwise to turn it off.
Note: To minimize heat loss, close the air control valve when your spa / hot tub is not
in use.
6. Continue pressing until Pump 1 slows.
Note: When programmed for continuous filtration and when temperature limits allow,
Pump 1 and the ozone generator run continuously to help keep your water clean (see
page 27).
7. Press the Pump 2 button (if equipped). You should hear the second pump
(fixed-speed) turn on, see water circulating in the spa / hot tub, and see the icon
swirl on the display. If Pump 2 has not primed after 3 minutes repeat same priming
procedure of step 3 above for Pump 1. Check and adjust the water and airflow of
every jet from Pump 2 if necessary.
8. Press again. You should hear the second pump turn on a higher speed
and see the icon swirl faster.
9. Press a third time to turn off Pump 2. A built-in timer automatically turns
Pump 2 off after 20 minutes, unless you turn it off first.
* If the spa is in filtration mode, the pump slows to 20% and does not turn OFF.
**The 3” spinner jets and the constant filtration jets are not adjustable.
CAUTION

20
For HELP, call La-Z-Boy®Spas at 1.800.465.2933.
10. Press the Pump 3 button (if equipped). You should hear the second
AquaFlex pump turn on, see water circulating in the spa / hot tub, and see the icon
swirl on the display. If Pump 3 has not primed after 3 minutes repeat same priming
procedure of step 3 above for Pump 1. Check and adjust the water and airflow of
every jet from Pump 3 if necessary.
Note: Repeatedly pressing the button raises the speed each time (40%, 60%, 100%,
and OFF).
11. Continue pressing until Pump 3 turns off. A built-in timer automatically
turns Pump 3 off after 20 minutes, unless you turn it off first.
12. Press the Light button to turn the light on. Press this button again to cycle
through the many available colors. Once a desired color is found, pressing this
button again stays on this color.
13. Press again to turn the light off. A built-in timer automatically turns the light
