ALERT
Your new swim spa GFCI will trip.
A Ground Fault Interrupter (GFCI) Trip Test must occur to al-
low proper spa function.
Your swim spa came with special instructions for the install-
er / electrician. If they have not already advised you on what
to do or expect from the GFCI Trip Test, please contact them
for instructions.
If the GFCI breaker connected to your swim spa trips, this is
normal behavior. Please reset the breaker and enjoy your
spa. The trip test has been completed successfully.
If your swim spa was not wired to a GFCI breaker or your
breaker fails the GFCI Trip Test, the spa will repeatedly at-
tempt (at preset intervals) to trip the breaker in the future
until such time that it triggers a GFCI Trip. If a GFCI does not
trip properly, your spa’s display will show an error message.
GFCI breakers are important safety devices required by code
for your swim spa. For more information, refer to your dealer
or to the section in your Owner’s Manual titled“Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter.”

Swim Spa
Dos and Don’ts of Spa Care:
Do:
• Save these instructions!
• Replace the cover immediately after use.
• Keep the cover locked when spa is not
in use.
• Be aware of the dangers of a wet and
slippery surface. Use caution when
entering and exiting your spa.
• Have a licensed electrician make all nal
electrical connections.
• Replace worn, frayed or broken electrical
cords.
• Keep the water chemistry correctly
balanced. Untreated spa water will cause
problems with your spa and equipment
as well as being a health risk.
• Clean the spa lter monthly or as needed.
• Position the spa so that all sides remain
accessible for maintenance.
• Use a bathing cap for long hair.
• Refer to information on hyperthermia,
next column.
• Use only authorized spa care products
for the best performance and to keep
the water properly balanced.
Don’t:
• Use the spa at 104°F (40°C) for long
periods of time (more than 30 minutes).
See Hyperthermia, next column.
• Use an extension cord to power your spa.
• Allow anyone to stand on the spa cover.
It is not designed to support weight.
• Power the spa unless it is lled with water
5-6” below top of the lip of the spa.
• Operate the pump on high speed for ex-
tended periods of time with the cover in
place. Extended operation can cause heat
build-up and interfere with spa operation.
Hyperthermia
The causes, symptoms, and eects of
hyperthermia may be described as follows:
Hyperthermia occurs when the internal
temperature of the body reaches a level
several degrees above the normal body
temperature of 98.6°F (37°C). The symptoms
of hyperthermia include an increase in the
internal temperature of the body, dizziness,
lethargy, drowsiness, and fainting. The eects
of hyperthermia include:
a. Failure to perceive heat
b. Failure to recognize the need to exit spa
or hot tub
c. Unawareness of impending hazard
d. Fetal damage in pregnant women
e. Physical inability to exit the spa or hot
tub, and
f. Unconsciousness resulting in the danger
of drowning.
WARNING  The use of alcohol, drugs,
or medication can greatly increase the
risk of fatal hyperthermia.

Swim Spa
SWIM SPA INSTALLATION
Danger: Electrical shock risk. Install at
least 1.5m from all metal surfaces.
The electrical supply for this product must
include a suitably rated switch or circuit
breaker to open all ungrounded supply
conductors. The disconnecting means must
be readily accessible but installed at least 1.5
meters from the Swim spa water. All electrical
connections should comply with local
regulations.
The appliance should be supplied through
a residual current device
(RCD) or Ground Fault
Interrupter (GFCI) with a
rated tripping current not
exceeding 30 mA. Means
for disconnection must
be incorporated in the
xed wiring in accordance
with the wiring rules. Parts containing live
parts, except parts supplied with safety
extra-low voltage not exceeding 12 V, must be
inaccessible to a person in the bath. Earthed
appliances must be permanently connected
to xed wiring.
Site and Positioning
MAAX® Spas recommends that a Swim spa be
placed in its nal installation site by crane. In
any installation where a crane cannot be used,
you may want to consult with a professional
rigging company.
When utilizing a crane for delivery, be sure
that crane operator understands the weight
of the Swim spa, the height it must be lifted,
and the distance that the crane boom must
travel. Be sure that the crane operator uses
an 8’ spreader bar and that the straps wrap all
the way around the bottom frame of the Swim
spa.
Locate the Swim spa on a solid, level
foundation keeping in mind the weight of
the lled Swim spa (in excess of 18,000 lb.
(8165 kg.) on some models). If you have any
doubts about the load bearing ability of your
chosen site, contact an architect or a building
contractor. The entire perimeter of the Swim
spa Frame and bottom must be evenly
supported.
We recommend that you provide a concrete
foundation pad for the Swim spa. The
foundation pad should be wider and longer
than the Swim spa by at least 12 inches (30
cm) in each direction. Failure to provide a
level surface could structurally damage your
Swim spa and void the warranty.
The Swim spa must be installed to allow
access for service and maintenance on all
four sides; therefore, if you choose to install
your Swim spa below grade level, you will be
required to have a vault or pit constructed
to prevent ground water, rain, snowmelt, or
sources of water from collecting around the
equipment of the Swim spa. The vault must
have either sucient drainage through a drain
line or through the use of a sump pump. The
vault must have adequate safe access as to
allow for routine maintenance of the Swim spa
components.
IMPORTANT: Proper drainage must be
provided to keep base dry, especially if
installed below grade/in a pit.

99
Swim Spa
WARNING: ACCESS TO THE Swim spa
SHOULD BE CONTROLLED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH ALL APPLICABLE NATIONAL AND
LOCAL CODES. IN SOME LOCATIONS THIS
MAY INCLUDE AN APPROVED FENCE WITH
SELF-CLOSING, SELF-LOCKING GATE
AND/OR A LOCKABLE SAFETY HARDCOVER
FOR OUTDOOR USE AND A LOCKABLE
DOOR AND/OR SAFETY HARDCOVER FOR
INDOOR USE.
Outdoor Installation
The following considerations apply when
installing your Swim spa outdoors:
1. Local codes pertaining to fencing.
2. Local electrical and plumbing codes.
3. View from your house.
4. Wind direction.
5. Exposure to sunlight.
6. Location relationship to trees (twigs,
leaves and shade).
7. Dressing and bathroom location.
8. Storage area for maintenance equipment
and chemicals.
9. Location to facilitate adult supervision.
10. Landscaping and night time lighting.
11. Accessibility to equipment.
12. Location and routing of power supply to
Swim spa and foot trac.
Indoor Installation
In addition to the Outdoor installation
consideration, please also understand that the
following considerations apply when installing
your Swim spa indoors:
1. Indoor Swim spas promote high
humidity. Using either ventilation fans or
commercial grade de-humidiers will help
to reduce the humidity. Consult your
dealer for details.
2. Floor drains must be provided near the
Swim spa to drain o water that
may cause falls and /or water damage.
Water will splash out of the Swim spa
during normal use when swimming and
when exiting the Swim spa.
3. Surface area of foundation pad and
surrounding area should be at with a
non-skid nish. Carpeting or other
porous materials may retain moisture,
which leads to mold, mildew and odors
and is not recommended.
4. Walls, ceilings, woodwork should be made
of materials capable of withstanding high
humidity.
5. MAAX® Spas only recommends the use of a
concrete foundation pad to support your
Swim spa. If you intend to install your
Swim spa in an area where you cannot
utilize a concrete foundation pad, you
must consult with a structural engineer
to ensure the oor load bearing capacities
are adequate to support the concentrated
Swim spa weight, the weight of the
Swim spa occupants, and any furniture
or people that will be using the immediate
area of the Swim spa.
6. During shipment from the factory,
plumbing components may loosen;
therefore it is imperative that the
Swim spa is double checked for leaks
before installing to avoid possible water
damage. Your dealer may include this
service in their installation procedures.
7. Indoor sunrooms are capable of
maintaining high ambient temperatures
which may aect the Swim spa water
temperature. It is NOT recommended that
you operate your lter cycles for longer
than 4 hours per day under these
conditions.
Danger: Electrical shock risk. Install at least
5 feet (1.5 m) from all metal surfaces.

Swim Spa
JETS AND AIR CONTROLS
Swim Area Jets
Swim sp jets are designed to produce a smooth
ow of water with high output to create a
consistent swim stream. Whether you want to
swim or walk/jog against the force of the jets,
you will nd the ow of water deep enough
and swift enough to meet your individual
needs.
Hydrotherapy Area Jets
All spa jets are individually engineered
to provide a unique hydro-massage.
Depending on the model, your spa will have a
combination of the following jets.
Directional Jets
Positioned to focus on large muscle groups,
these jets deliver a concentrated, high volume
stream of water for a deep massage. Each jet
is fully adjustable, allowing users to set the
water ow to the most comfortable setting.
Nozzle can be rotated to target sore muscles.
Rotating Jets
Positioned to focus on muscle tension zones,
these jets deliver a spinning V-shaped water
stream for a gentle, pulsating massage. Each
jet is fully adjustable, allowing for comfortable
water ow settings for everyone to enjoy.
Euro Jets
Positioned in the foot well or shoulder areas,
these jets deliver a penetrating massage to
dissolve tension. This jet may be the entry
point for ozone produced during automatic
ltration and therefore it is not adjustable.
Note: Ozone production is stopped when
functions are activated on control panel.
Cleaning or Replacing Jets
Hard water can cause calcium/mineral
buildup that can restrict or bind the jets. A jet
consists of a face plate and a nozzle. Rotate
these parts weekly and remove/clean monthly
to ensure free movement.
NOTE: It is not necessary to drain the spa to
clean or remove the jets.
Rotating Jets
• Rotate the jet face left and right
• Return face plate to full open position
• Turn the jets on high speed
• Twist the nozzle left and right
• Rotate the nozzle in the socket
NOTE: If the jet insert disengages from the
spa housing, see steps to reinstall below.
Cleaning Jets
• To REMOVE the jet insert, use the palm of
your hand to exert pressure on the face of the
jet. Turn counterclockwise until the jet ‘clicks’.
Gently pull the jet assembly from the housing.
• To CLEAN the jet insert and housing, use a
pressurized hose and spray the inside of the
jet. Soak the jet in a diluted spa cleaning
solution, rinse. Wipe the inside of the housing
to remove any debris.
• To REINSTALL the jet, line up the tab on
the backside of the barrel with the groove in
the body. Use the palm of your hand to gently
tap the jet until it snaps into position.

START UP PROCEDURES
Follow recommendations for site location and
electrical connection.
1. Use standard“tap water” to ll the
swim spa by draping a garden hose
over the wall. Take care to wrap the metal
end of the hose with a soft cloth or set the
end of the hose in the lter canister to
protect the swim spa surface from
the metal end of the hose. The metal end
of your hose can become rough or jagged
and may scratch the surface of your
swim spa, and this damage is not
covered under your warranty. Fill the
swim spa until the water level is 2 to
2.5 cm from the top lip.
Never use “softened” water in your pool
or spa. Softened water can impact the
chemical balance of the water and lead to
degradation of metal plumbing ttings.
2. After you have assured that the
swim spa is full of water and that all
plumbing valves are open, turn power on
at circuit breaker or disconnect panel.
3. Open the air controls, located on the top
lip, and cycle the jets from high to low.
Water should come from the therapy jets. If
water ow is not established, turn o jets
and see Priming Your Swim Spa.
4. Add chemicals. See Chemical Treatment
and Water Maintenance section. Follow
Operating Instructions for your particular
model to set heat to the desired
temperature. Initially, you may nd that the
swim spa requires 18 to 24 hours on
230 Volt installations to reach temperature.
Keep your thermal cover on the unit and
close the air controls to help the heating
process.
Priming Your Swim Spa
When lling your swim spa for the rst
time or, after draining and relling the swim
spa, you may need to bleed air from the
system. Should you experience an air-lock on
Pump 1, remove the lter basket cover, insert
a garden hose through the center
hole of the lter as far as possible without
using force. Hold the hose in place and
turn on the water. This forces water into the
pump and forces the air out.
Important: Do not operate the Swim Spa
without full water ow.

TP600 CONTROL PANEL
NOTE: The look of your topside control panel design and buttons will vary according to brand
and features available on your swim spa. See table below for pictures and explanation of
TP600 Control Panel button functions.
MAIN MENUS
NAVIGATION
Navigating the entire menu structure is
done with 3 buttons on the control panel:
Temperature Up, Temperature Down and Light
buttons.
Panels have separate WARM (Up) and COOL
(down) buttons which are used to increase or
decrease the temperature. These buttons are
also used to navigate through menus.
The LIGHT button is used to activate spa lights
and is also used to choose various menus to
navigate each section.
Typical use of the Temperature buttons allows
changing the Set Temperature while the
numbers are ashing in the LCD screen.
Numbers will begin ashing when either one
of the temperature buttons are pressed.
Pressing the LIGHT button while the numbers
are ashing will take you to the menus.
The menus can be exited with certain button
presses. Simply waiting for several seconds
will return the panel operation to normal.

FILLING YOUR SPA
PREPARATION AND FILLING
Fill the spa to its correct operating level (5-6
inches below top of spa lip). Open all valves
and jets in the plumbing system before lling
to allow as much air as possible to escape
from the plumbing and the control system
during the lling process.
PRIMING MODE
This mode will last 4-5 minutes or you can
manually exit the priming mode after the
pump(s) have primed. Regardless of whether
the priming mode ends automatically or
you manually exit the priming mode, the
system will automatically return to normal
heating and ltering at the end of the priming
mode. During the priming mode, the heater
is disabled to allow the priming process
to be completed without the possibility of
energizing the heater under low-ow/no-ow
conditions. Nothing comes on automatically,
but the pump(s) can be energized by pushing
the “Jet” buttons. If the spa has a Circ Pump,
it can be activated by pressing the“Light”
button during Priming Mode.
PRIMING THE PUMPS
After the display has gone through screens:
“RUN” “PMPS” “PURG” “AIR” “-- -- -- --” ,
push “Jet” button once to start Pump 1 in low-
speed and again to switch to high-speed. Push
the Pump 2 button (if you have a 2nd pump)
to turn it on. The pumps will not be running in
high-speed to facilitate priming. If the pumps
have not primed after 2 minutes, and water is
not owing from the jets in the spa, turn o
the pumps and repeat.
NOTE: Turning the power o/on again
will initiate a new pump priming session.
Sometimes turning the pump o/on helps
it to prime. If the pumps will not prime after
5 times, turn power o and call for service.
IMPORTANT: A pump should not be allowed to
run without priming for more than 2 minutes.
Under NO circumstances should a pump be
allowed to run without priming beyond the
end of the 4-5 minute priming mode. Doing
so may cause damage to the pump and cause
the system to energize the heater and go into
an overheat condition.
EXITING PRIMING MODE
Manually exit Priming Mode by pressing either
Temperature button. If you do not manually
exit the priming mode, it will be automatically
terminated after 4-5 minutes. Be sure that the
pump(s) have been primed by this time.
Once the system has exited Priming Mode,
the top-side panel will momentarily display
the set temperature but the display will not
show the temperature yet because the system
requires approximately 1 minute of water
owing through the heater to determine the
water temperature and display it accurately.
SPA BEHAVIOR
Pumps
Press the “Jets 1” button once to turn pump 1
on or o, and to shift between low- and high-
speeds if equipped. If left running, the pump
will turn o after a time-out period. The pump
1 low-speed will time out after 30 minutes. The
high-speed will time out after 15 minutes.
On non-circ systems, the low-speed of pump
1 runs when the blower or any other pump is
on. If the spa is in Ready Mode, Pump 1 low
may also activate for at least 1 minute every
30 minutes to detect the spa temperature and
then to heat to the set temperature if needed.
When the low-speed turns on automatically,
it cannot be deactivated from the panel,
however the high speed may be started.

Swim Spa
Circulation Pump Modes
The circ pump (if your spa is equipped with
one) operates continuously (24 hours) with
the exception of turning o for 30 minutes at a
time when the water temperature reaches 3°F
(1.5°C) above the set temperature (most likely
to happen in very hot climates).
Filtration and Ozone
On non-circ systems, Pump 1 low and the
ozone generator will run during ltration. On
circ systems, the ozone will run with
the circ pump.
The system is factory-programmed with
one lter cycle that will run in the evening
(assuming the time-of-day is properly
set) when energy rates are often lower. The
lter time and duration are programmable. A
second lter cycle can be enabled as needed.
At the start of each lter cycle, the blower (if
there is one) or Pump 2 (if there is one) will run
briey to purge its plumbing to maintain good
water quality.
Freeze Protection
If the temperature sensors within the heater
detect a low enough temperature, the
pump(s) and the blower automatically
activate to provide freeze protection.
The pump(s) and blower will run either
continuously or periodically depending
on conditions.
In colder climates, an optional additional
freeze sensor may be added to protect against
freeze conditions that may not be sensed by
the standard sensors. Auxiliary freeze sensor
protection acts similarly except with the
temperature thresholds determined by the
switch. See your dealer for details.
Clean-up Cycle (optional)
When a pump or blower is turned on by a
button press, a clean-up cycle begins 30
minutes after the pump or blower is
turned o or times out. The pump and the
ozone generator will run for 30 minutes or
more, depending on the system. On
some systems, you can change this setting.
TEMPERATURE & TEMP RANGE
Adjusting the Set Temperature
Pressing Up or Down temperature buttons
will cause the temperature to ash. Pressing a
temperature button again will adjust the set
temperature in the direction indicated on the
button. When the LCD stops ashing, the spa
will heat to the new set temperature.
Press-and-Hold
If a Temperature button is pressed and
held when the temperature is ashing, the
temperature will continue to change
until the button is released.
Dual Temperature Ranges
This system incorporates two temperature
range settings with independent set
temperatures. The High Range designated in
the display by an“up” arrow, and the Low
Range designated in the display by a“down”
arrow. These ranges can be used for various
reasons, with a common use being a “ready to
use” setting vs. a “vacation” setting.
The Ranges are chosen using the menu
structure below. Each range maintains its own
set temperature as programmed by
the user. This way, when a range is chosen, the
spa will heat to the set temperature associated
with that range.
For example:
High Range may be set between 80°F - 104°F.
Low Range may be set between 50°F - 99°F.
Freeze Protection is active in either range.

Swim Spa
MODE - REST AND READY
In order for the spa to heat, a pump needs to
circulate water through the heater. The pump
that performs this function is known as the
“heater pump.”The heater pump can be either
a 2-Speed Pump 1 or a circulation pump.
If the heater pump is a 2-Speed Pump 1,
READY Mode will circulate water every 1/2
hour, using Pump 1 Low, in order to
maintain a constant water temperature,
heat as needed, and refresh the temperature
display. This is known as “polling.”
REST Mode will only allow heating during
programmed lter cycles. Since polling does
not occur, the temperature display
may not show a current temperature until the
heater pump has been running for a minute
or two.
Circulation Mode
If the spa is congured for 24HR circulation,
the heater pump generally runs continuously.
Since the heater pump is always running, the
spa will maintain set temperature and heat as
needed in Ready Mode, without polling.
In Rest Mode, the spa will only heat to set
temperature during programmed lter times,
even though the water is being ltered
constantly when in Circulation Mode.
Ready-in-Rest Mode
READY/REST appears in the display if the
spa is in Rest Mode and Jet 1 is pressed. It is
assumed the spa is being used and will heat
to set temperature. While Pump 1 High can
be turned on and o, Pump 1 Low will run
until set temperature is reached, or 1 hour has
passed. After 1 hour, the System will revert
to Rest Mode. This mode can also be reset by
entering the Mode Menu and changing it.
SHOW & SET TIME-OF-DAY
Setting the time-of-day can be important
for determining ltration times and other
background features. From the main menu,
activate the temperature ashing. While
the temperature is ashing, press “Light”
repeatedly until “TIME” is displayed on the
screen. Proceed to set current time using the
up and down temperature buttons. When
in the TIME menu, SET TIME will ash on the
display if no time-of-day is set in the memory.
24-hour time display can be set under the
PREF menu.
Note: If power is interrupted to the system,
Time-of-Day is not stored. The system will
still operate and all other user settings will
be stored. If lter cycles are required to run
at a particular time of day, resetting the
clock will return the lter times to the actual
programmed periods. When the system starts
up, it defaults to 12:00 Noon, so another way
to get lter times back to normal is to start up
the spa at noon on any given day. SET TIME
will still ash in the TIME Menu until the time is
actually set, but since the spa started at noon,
the lter cycles will run as programmed.
FLIP (INVERT DISPLAY)
From the main screen, activate the
temperature ashing. While the temperature
is ashing, press “Light” repeatedly until
“FLIP” is displayed on the screen. While “FLIP”
is displayed, press either the up or down
temperature button to invert the screen.
Follow the same procedures to ip it back.
