1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
2. Warning
To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless
they are closely supervised at all times.
3. A wire connector is provided on this unit to connect a minimum
No. 8AWG (8.4mm) solid copper conductor between this unit and
any metal equipment, metal enclosures of electrical equipment, metal
water pipe, or conduit within 5 feet (1.5m) of the unit.
4. Danger: Risk of Injury
A. For cord-connected/convertible units:
• Replace damaged cord immediately.
• Do not bury cord.
• Connect to a grounded, grounding type receptacle only.
B. For units with a G.F.C.I.:
WARNING - This product is provided with a ground-fault circuit interrupter
(G.F.C.I.) on the end of the spa’s power cord. This G.F.C.I. must be tested
before each use. With the product operating, depress the “test” button on
the G.F.C.I.. The spa should not operate. Depress the “Reset” button on the
G.F.C.I..The product should now operate normally. If the spa fails to operate
in this manner, there is a ground current flowing indicating a possible electric
shock. Disconnect the power until the fault has been identified and corrected
by a certified licensed electrician.
5. Warning
C Series Only (For permanently installed units)
The electrical supply for this product must include a suitable rated switch or
circuit breaker to open all ungrounded supply conductors to comply with
Section 442-20 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1987. In
addition, all 230 volt installations must be protected by a 230 volt Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter (G.F.C.I.). Any G.F.C.I. circuit breaker used in the
house panel must read current returning through the neutral conductor.
230 volt 2 conductor G.F.C.I. circuit breakers will not operate correctly for
your application.
6. Danger
Risk of Accidental Drowning. Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent
unauthorized access by children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children
cannot use this spa unless they are supervised at all times. For additional
protection, select a cover which is classified by the Underwriters Laboratories
Meeting ASTM F1346-91 requirements.
7. Danger
Risk of Injury. The suction fittings in this 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 spa if suction fittings are broken or missing. Never replace a
suction fitting with one less than the flow rate marked on the original suction
fitting.
8. Danger
Risk of Electric Shock. Install at least 5 feet (1.5m) from all metal surfaces.
As an alternative, a spa may be installed within 5 feet of metal surfaces if
each metal surface is permanently connected by a minimum No. 8AWG
(8.4mm) solid copper conductor to the wire connector on the terminal box
that is provided for this purpose.
9. Danger
Risk of Electric Shock. Do not permit any electric appliance, such as light,
telephone, radio, or television, within 5 feet (1.5m) of a spa.
10. Warning To reduce risk of injury:
A. The water in a 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
your children and when spa use exceeds 10 minutes.
B. Since excessive water temperatures have high potential for fetal damage
during the early months of pregnancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant women
should limit spa water temperatures to 100 ° F (38 ° C).
C. Before entering spa, the user should measure the water temperature
with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of water temperature-
regulating devices vary.
D. The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa use may
lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
E. Persons suffering from obesity or with a medical history of heart disease,
low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes should
consult a physician before using a spa.
F. Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a
spa since some medication may induce drowsiness while other medication
may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.
11. Warning Sign
Included with this spa is a warning sign. It is extremely important that this
sign be permanently placed in clear view of any persons using the spa.
Occasional spa users may not be aware of some of the dangers hot water
poses to pregnant women, small children, and people under the influence
of alcohol, drugs, or medication. If you did not receive a warning sign or
your sign has become damaged, please contact your spa dealer and ask
for sign number PL601035 Rev A.

1. Never permit the spa to be used unless it is attended
by at least one person other than the bather.
Someone should be present to lend assistance if the bather should be in
trouble due to injuries, cramps, drowning especially in case of children, etc.
2. Always use care in and around your spa.
The spa has many rigid, unyielding parts and many areas that become wet
and slippery; these are all potentially dangerous when rough play is permitted
or if care is not used particularly when entering or leaving the spa.
3. Keep the water sanitary and healthful at all times.
Your filter system will remove suspended particles from the water. Regular
application of spa chemicals in proper quantities will destroy harmful bacteria
and prevent formation of algae. Your surface skimmer will remove insects,
leaves, and other debris from the water surface. Unsanitary water is a serious
health hazard.
4. The water in your spa should NOT be warmer than
100 ° - 104 ° F (38 ° -40 ° C).
Always keep an accurate thermometer in the water because your spa’s
thermostat may be in error. Use a high quality, shatterproof thermometer
with increments of one degree or less.
The National Spa and Pool Institute considers a temperature of 100 ° F (38 ° C)
safe and comfortable for a healthy adult. Most healthy adults can enjoy this
water temperature for as long as desired, although it may raise the body
temperature to the water temperature and eventually become uncomfortable
(like a fever). At higher water temperatures the soaking time should be
shorter; never soak for more than 20 minutes when the water temperature
is 102 ° F (39 ° C) or higher. If you are planning a long rest in the spa, lower
the water temperature closer to normal body temperature, about 99 ° F
(37.2 ° C). Some people find even lower water temperatures relaxing and
pleasing. Try different water temperatures in the 98 ° -102 ° F (36.6 ° -39 ° C)
range until you find what temperatures suit you best.
5. Hot water can raise the body temperature high
enough to cause heat stroke.
This can be fatal even to healthy adults. If you have any questions about
your own fitness or whether you should soak in the spa, check with your
physician.
6. Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce
hyperthermia.
Hyperthermia occurs when internal body temperature reaches a level several
degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6 ° F (36.6 ° C). The
symptoms of hyperthermia include: (1) dizziness, (2) fainting, (3) drowsiness,
(4) lethargy, (5) increases in the internal body temperature. The effects of
hyperthermia include: (1) unawareness of impending hazard, (2) failure to
perceive heat, (3) failure to recognize the need to exit spa, (4) physical
inability to exit spa, (5) unconsciousness resulting in danger of drowning.
7. WARNING-The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication
can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in
hot tubs or spas.
Despite the popular image of people in spas drinking wine or other alcoholic
beverages, DO NOT use alcoholic beverages before or during spa use.
Alcohol is a depressant which causes slowed reflexes and drowsiness,
especially in conjunction with the relaxed soaking in hot water. This can
lead to sleep or unconsciousness and possibly result in drowning. Using
your spa with other people who are also drinking is not a preventative
measure since they are likely to become similarly affected by the
combinations of alcohol and hot water soaking.
Soaking in hot water causes changes in the circulatory system, such as
enlargement of blood vessels near the skin.Therefore, people with a medical
history of heart disease, circulatory problems, diabetes, high or low blood
pressure should check with their physician before using spas. Additionally,
people taking medications causing drowsiness, such as tranquilizers,
narcotics, antihistamines, or anticoagulants should not use spas without
asking their physician.
8. Broken or missing drain covers should be replaced
immediately.
Accidents can occur when long hair or a body part is trapped by suction
from a drain or outlet whose cover is broken or removed. Children are
particularly vulnerable, and they should be warned against danger.
Your spa can be a source of great pleasure. It offers healthful stimulating recreation and is a delightful fun
center for you, your family and friends. However, it contains large quantities of water and is deep enough to
present inherent dangers to life and health unless the following safety rules are strictly observed.
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
DO NOT :
Do not use electrical appliances in or around your spa. Do not use glass or other breakable items in or around your
spa. Do not remove spa cabinet panels and attempt to make repairs. Do not attempt electrical repairs. Retain a certified
licensed electrician.

Selecting A Good Location
LEVEL, FLAT & SOLID LOAD BEARING SITE CRITICAL
Solid Load Bearing Site
The site must provide a solid foundation with a minimum load bearing capacity
of 135 pounds per square foot (61.23 kgr per 929.03 sq. cm). Concrete slabs
and decks must be designed to support this weight. Do not select a site composed
of individual unsupported bricks, blocks or other materials which will shift unevenly
and cause damage to your spas internal frame.
Site Selection...
Your new spa will provide you and yours with hour upon hour of healthy, relaxing enjoyment. The following suggestions and
recommendations will help you select a safe and compatible site for your spa, maximizing your enjoyment.
1. Certified Licensed Electrician Required
Electrical installation, (approval of and connection to power source) must be
completed by a qualified certified licensed electrician in compliance with all
codes.
2. No Overhead Power Lines
Do not locate your spa under overhead power lines or in near proximity to
existing buried or exposed electrical circuits. See your electrician.
READ ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
See pages 1 and 2 for other safety requirements and instructions
3. Childproof Your Spa
Plan for limiting access of children. Precautions such as self closing and
locking gates or access doors, fencing and other child barriers, as dictated
by the site.
4. UL Safety Cover Required
In addition to its insulating factors, a good cover also provides a measure of
additional protection from unwanted access. Select a cover which is classified
by the Underwriters Laboratories meeting ASTM F1346-91 requirements.
Level Site, Flat Surface
A level site is critical to both the performance and enjoyment of your spa. Water
is unforgiving and will always settle level. A flat and level site provides the surface
necessary to properly dispense weight between the footwell which bears most
of the spa’s weight and the structural frame which primarily provides stabilization
and secondary support. The importance of proper support for the footwell in
conjunction with the spa cabinet can not be over stressed.
THE BULK OF YOUR SPA’S WEIGHT IS SUPPORTED BY THE FOOTWELL
Failure to provide support will result in damage to the spa’s shell and will void the shell warranty!

CAUTION: Drain waste water may contain chemical residue and unsanitary contaminants which
could be a hazard to health or the environment. Drain to specified sanitary sewer only.
WARNING: DO NOT SUPPLY POWER TO AN EMPTY SPA!
FILLING YOUR SPA
Filling your spa is the first step in maintaining water quality
and chemical balance. Use only clear, uncontaminated
potable water when filling the spa.
WINTERIZING YOUR SPA
Warning: Allowing the spa water to freeze will cause severe
damage to the spa shell, equipment, and plumbing.
A spa can be a great asset to your health and relaxation during the
winter months. However, for those who will be using a spa in freezing
cold weather it is critical that a water temperature is maintained well
above freezing.
Freeze Protection “C Series Only”
Your Leisure Bay spa is equipped with a special feature called freeze
protection. If the high limit sensor detects 40 ° F at the heater, then all the
equipment is automatically activated to provide freeze protection. This
equipment stays on until the sensor detects 45 ° F at the heater.
WARNING: We strongly recommend that you inspect and test your spa
and controls on a daily basis during periods when temperatures are
below 32 ° F. Every installation is different and many factors contribute to
possible freeze damage situations; rate of temperature drop, thermal
cover insulating properties, thermal cover installation, spa installation
location, wind exposure, power outage, spa water temp., etc. The spa’s
freeze protection system is designed to protect your spa from unforeseen
freeze situations. However, in severe freeze conditions or if you do not
plan to use your spa for a period of time, it may be impossible for the
freeze protect system to fully protect your spa. When severe conditions
threaten, we strongly recommend that you have the unit drained and
winterized by a “Spa Professional”. Properly winterizing a spa is a
complicated process and should not be attempted by an amateur.
Water Level
The correct water fill level varies with each individual
installation. Every person entering a spa displaces a given
volume of water.
Suggested “Fill Range” Provided
A fill range label has been placed on the surface skimmer
face plate at the factory (see fig. 1). This label has a
suggested minimum and maximum fill levels that will provide
a starting point for selecting a water level that meets your
individual needs.
Chemically Treat Water Immediately
To assure the maintenance of water quality it is imperative
that you chemically threat the spa water immediately upon
completion of filling. See the treatment sections on pages
14 and 15.
fig. 1
DRAINING YOUR SPA
(Warning: Do not supply power to an empty spa!)
1. Turn Power Off
Tu rn power off at the spa consoles and deactivate disconnect
switches at the G.F.C.I. plug or load center.
2. Remove Spa Drain Hose
Remove the spa drain hose located in a storage compartment
which is located under the lower corner of the spa as you are
facing the console. See arrow.
Drain Every Three Months
Draining your spa on a regular basis rids the spa of dissolved solids and
protects your spa equipment from the effects of residual calcium hardness
and total alkalinity problems.
3. Remove Drain Valve Safety Cap
Remove safety drain cap and store for use when refilling your spa.
Attach a standard garden hose to the drain valve.
4. Attach Hose & Select Safe Suitable Drain
Route the hose to a sewer drain capable of safely assimilating 300 plus
gallons of water which may contain both unsanitary contaminants and
chemical residue. Open drain valve.

When your spa is first activated, it will automatically heat and maintain
100 ° F until you change the set temperature. Also it will run on low
speed for two hours ( F2 ).
Temperature Adjustment (60 ° F-104 ° F)
When the Temp pad is touched once, the LCD will flash and
display the temperature which has been set. While flashing, press the
Temp pad again to increase or decrease the temperature. For the
opposite temperature setting wait until the LCD stops flashing, then
press the Temp. pad again to change. From 81 ° - 104 ° F the temperature
will change in 1 ° F increments. From 60 ° F - 80 ° F, the temperature will
change in 5 ° F increments. After 5 seconds, the LCD will automatically
display the current spa temperature.
Jets
Press the pad to run the pumps on and off. If left running,
the pumps will automatically turn off after 30 minutes.
Light
Press the pad to turn the spa light on and off. If left on, the
light will automatically turn off after 4 hours.
Freeze Protection
If the high-limit sensor detects 40 ° F at the heater, then all the equipment
is automatically activated to provide freeze protection. This is a normal
spa function; no corrective action is necessary. The equipment stays
on until the sensor detects 45 ° F at the heater. Freeze protection is
enabled regardless of the spa mode status.
Standby Mode
The spa can be disabled when the filter needs to be replaced. To put
the system in standby mode, press the pad then the
pad and the display will show “ 58 ”. All spa functions are disabled except
for freeze control. Press any panel button to resume spa operation.
WARNING: SHOCK HAZARD! NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS. Do not attempt to service this control. Contact your dealer or service
center for assistance. Follow all owner’s manual power connection instructions. Installation must be performed by a certified licensed
electrician and all grounding connections must be properly installed.

Model B System’s Operation
The BSpa’s top control console consists of a printed circuit board with an integral 3 hour timer, temperature thermostat, digital
temperature display, pump, light, and reset air switches.
For standard operations mode the pump can be started by pressing the “Pump” button which activates the 3 hour timer. The
pump will operate for 3 hours, or until the button is pressed again. If the button is pressed again it will interrupt the cycle, the
timer will reset and the next operation will again be a 3 hour cycle. The pump will also turn on when the temperature regulating
thermostat in the top control console calls for heat.
High Limit Set Point
If at any time the spa temperature exceeds the high limit set point, power to the pump will be interrupted and the unit will enter
the temperature fault mode. Once the cause for the high temperature is resolved and the temperature falls below the set point,
the unit can be restored to standard operating mode by activating the “Reset” air switch. On power-up, or when power resumes
after a power failure, the unit will enter the standard operating mode automatically, unless the spa temperature exceeds the
high limit set point.
To start a 3 hour pump circulation cycle, press the “Pump” button. To stop
this cycle depress the “Pump” button a second time.
To restore operation after an automatic high limit fault problem has been
corrected, depress the “Reset” button. See “High Limit Set Point” below.
To turn on/off the light in the Spa, press the “Light” button. The dial “Thermostat Control” may be set to maintain the desired water
temperature within reasonable operation limits.

Skim Filter B Model
CLEANING YOUR SPA FILTER
Proper care and cleaning of your spa filter is very important to the
enjoyment of your spa. The filter is designed to remove emerged debris
and contaminants, providing clear clean water for the bather. The most
important maintenance step is to establish a cleaning routine to fit your
use pattern. Heavy use and introduction of contaminants such as oily
body lotions could mean cleaning on a weekly basis while average use
might require only monthly cleaning.
First turn off the electric power at both the spa console and either
the G.F.C.I. plug disconnect“Test” button or at the remote load center
disconnect switch.
1. Open Weir Door 2. Remove Basket 3. Remove Flow Adjustment Plate
4. Remove first filter 5. Remove 2nd filter For reinstallation follow steps 1-5 in reverse
order and insert basket as shown
Cleaning your Filter Cartridge is Critical to Equipment Performance
As the filter cartridge collects sediment, debris and other water borne contaminants it begins to clog and restrict spa water circulation. As this restriction
increases, water flow decreases.The low circulation rate automatically activates the flow meter sensor designed to protect the spa’s sensitive equipment
which shuts the spa down. Proper care adds to cartridge life. Improper care shortens cartridge life.
Cleaning a Filter Cartridge
As required, remove the cartridge. Rinse thoroughly with a garden hose set with the water stream adjusted to mid-range velocity. Ta ke care to rinse the
individual cartridge pleats. This process should be repeated as needed or on a bi-weekly basis.
Filter Cartridge Cleaners
As required or on a quarterly basis, the cartridge should be cleaned with a commercial chemical cleaner in accordance with the instructions on the
container.

You Deserve Pure, Crystal Clear Water
Pure, crystal clear water is part of the reward you receive for owning your very own spa. Maintaining water quality is a simple matter when a
Use/Maintenance Routine is established early on in ownership.
Use/Maintenance Routine
The tasks required to maintain superior water quality are divided into two categories, Regular and Special. “Regular” tasks include those that should be
routinely performed regardless of use pattern. For example, the spa filter should be cleaned at a minimum monthly, even if the spa is used only
occasionally. “Special” tasks are those performed to compensate for increased spa use. For example, the filter on a spa that has experienced a heavy
bather load resulting from vacation time and visiting friends or relatives might need cleaning on a weekly basis or more. Planning and establishing a
routine of Regular and Special maintenance as required by time and bather load will significantly simplify your spa maintenance.
Starting Point For Developing A Use/Maintenance Routine
No hard set rules can be established for creation of a spa maintenance program since each individual spa has its own unique location conditions and
bather patterns. The following chart of regular and special maintenance tasks is meant to provide a starting point. Water testing and experience will be
the final indicators of what your routine should be.

From time to time it will be necessary to clean the exposed surface areas of your spa shell and cabinet. Do not use cleaners or compounds
that contain harsh abrasives or caustic chemicals.Avoid using rubbing or buffing compounds.
Water Marks On Spa Shell
Water marks on the spa shell are best removed by applying a commercially available alcohol based
window washing compound such as plain Windex to a soft rag or paper towel and wiping the surface in
a circular motion.
Removing Tub Ring
Tub ring is best removed with a specialized commercially available cleaner such as Sun Surface Cleaner.
Ask your local dealer for recommendations. Always apply with a soft wet sponge or paper towel.
Cleaning The Spa Cabinet
Use a mild dish detergent diluted with tap water and applied with a soft wet sponge or paper towel to
clean the spa cabinet. Never use abrasive or caustic compounds.

CLEANING THE SPA
Water Balance Is Critical
Unlike ordinary drinking water, spa water is held captive in your spa and is used over and over. All water contains minerals, metals and other dissolved
solids. In the case of spa water these materials tend to concentrate due to normal usage and evaporation. Therefore it is critical that you test and treat
your spa water to maintain proper balance.
pH
pH is the measure of the degree of pH acidity or alkalinity of pool water.
Practically speaking, it tells if water is neutral or how far away from neutral.
pH is a measure on a scale, to which numbers have been assigned,
from 1 to 14. Seven is the middle of the scale and is considered exactly
neutral. Readings below 7 are increasingly acidic, above 7 are
increasingly basic or alkaline. Under normal conditions, it has been found
that the proper pH for spa water is approximately 7.5 with pH 7.2-7.7
being an acceptable range. The chart to the right indicates different
tendencies at assigned pH readings and what chemical to add.
Total Alkalinity
Alkalinity represents the amount of alkaline minerals in water. It is the
measure of the buffering capacity or resistance to a change in pH of water.
It minimizes changes in pH, making pH easier to control. Alkalinity and pH
are sometimes confused. pH is a measure of DEGREE of acidity of water.
Alkalinity is a QUANTITATIVE measure, telling you the total amount or
quantity of alkaline minerals present.The proper alkalinity range is 80-120
ppm. If alkalinity is allowed to drift, corrosion or scaling may result. Have
your spa water tested periodically for alkalinity by a qualified dealer.
Calcium Hardness
Total Hardness is used to describe the total amount of dissolved calcium
and magnesium bicarbonates, as well as smaller quantities of other
minerals in water. Unbalanced water, high in hardness, can cause water
to become cloudy. Scale can form inside pipes restricting water flow and
reducing their efficiency. Scale can also discolor a spa's interior. On the
other hand, low hardness and unbalanced water can contribute to
corrosive water conditions. Therefore, a certain amount of hardness is
desirable.The desired range is between 100-200 ppm. Once again, your
water should be tested periodically for hardness.
