Proper planning is an important consideration when installing your new
spa. 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) ontact an electrician to assess your electrical needs, install wiring,
and assure a safe operation.
3) Position your spa with proper access to water, drainage, and
electricity.
4) Place your spa 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 80 pounds per square foot.
6) Assure that your spa 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. In
most cases, a Spa Hard over 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 for normal servicing. Your spa is not designed to be recessed in
the ground or in a deck.

Our spas are certified by Intertek Testing, SNAa Ltd.
Ontario, anada to SA- 22.2 No. 218.1-M89 and
ANSI/UL 1563 standards.
Parts with extra low voltage not exceeding 12v must be inaccessible to a
person in the spa. 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.
Means for disconnection must be used in fixed wiring in accordance with
wiring rules.
Important: To allow the GF I to function properly, connect the white
Neutral wire from the spa to the Neutral terminal on the GF I breaker,
not the Neutral bus in the GF I breaker box. An improperly connected
Neutral causes the GF I breaker to trip.

Before Adding Water
Before adding water, go through these simple steps now to prevent
common issues when setting up your spa for the first time. Verify that the
following have all been rechecked.
1. Turn off all power to the spa at the main breaker panel.
2. Open the side panels to access the internal components.
3. heck that all slide valves are opened
(T-handles pulled out) to the heater and
all pumps.
4. heck that there are no obvious signs of
loose wires or broken pipes.
igure 9 - Valve Open/Closed
5. heck that the two heater unions are
tight.
Caution: Do not use a wrench. Over-
tightening may cause
damage to unions and
gaskets, which will not be
covered under warranty.
igure 10 - Unions Tight
6. heck that the unions on all pumps are tight.
7. lean out any foreign debris from within the service access area or
inside of the spa itself.
8. With the drain open and filters removed, thoroughly rinse out the spa
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 drain valve is closed and the cap is on tight
(see page 45).
10. Install the filter(s) in the filtration canister.
11. heck that all of the spa jets are open (turned full counter-
clockwise).
12. Now is the best time to clean and polish the surfaces of your spa
(see page 44-47).

Page 18
For HELP, call In-Touch at 866.461.3123
illing Your Spa
Now it's time to fill your spa with water. Do not
turn on the electricity yet until the spa is
completely filled. To properly fill your spa:
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. onnect a standard garden hose to a faucet
with regular cold tap water (not softened
water or hot water).
igure 11 – iltration Canister
Caution: The water from your hot water tank should not be used to fill
the spa.
3. Put the Aqua lara pre-filter (if equipped‡) on the other end of the
hose, point the Aqua lara 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 Aqua lara pre-filter (if equipped) into the filtration canister
and turn on the hose.
5. ill slowly. If too much water pressure is used, foaming water can
force air into the pipes and cause startup problems.
Important: To assure that the pump is properly primed, fill the spa
through the filter area only.
6. Fill the spa until the water level is about 1” above all jets (or about ½”
below the pillow). Do not over fill.
Note: Every person entering a spa displaces a given volume of water,
so adjust water level to the number of people regularly using the spa.
Turn off the hose and check again for any small leaks.
‡ Aqua lara pre-filters are available by calling [phone]
