14. WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury:
The water in the 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 extended use (exceeding 10
minutes) and for young children.
Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage
during the early months of pregnancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant women should
limit spa water temperatures to 100° F (38° C).
Before entering a spa, the user should measure the water temperature with an
accurate thermometer since the tolerance of temperature-regulating devices may
vary as much as +/- 5° F (3° C).
The use of drugs, alcohol, or medication before or during spa use may lead to
unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
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 the spa.
Persons using medications 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.
15. DANGER: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS. Do not remove
the suction fittings.
16. DANGER: RISK OF INJURY: Never operate a spa if the suction fitting(s) are
broken or missing. Never replace a suction fitting with one rated less than the flow
rate marked on the original suction fitting. The suction fittings in the 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.
17. DANGER: Children are especially sensitive to hot water. At no time should children
have unsupervised access to the spa. Children must not be allowed to climb onto the
spa cover. All Marquis Spas are equipped with a locking cover that meets the ASTM
F1346-91 Standard for Safety Covers. Always lock the child resistant locks after using
the spa for your children’s safety.

MARQUIS SPAS • RELAXING YOUR WORLD 7
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
LOCATION
For your portable spa to function properly and safely, it must be located on a hard, flat,
level surface. In-ground spas require special installation techniques and should be
planned in conjunction with your spa dealer. Improper installation can result in structural
damage to the spa and the voiding of your spa warranty. Items to discuss with your
dealer include: Local construction codes, electrical service requirements, serviceability
of equipment, present underground obstructions such as gas, water and telephone lines,
safety measures such as fences, locks and visibility of the spa installation from the home,
street and neighbors.
 You must allow for sufficient water drainage around the spa to help preserve the
equipment and support structure.
 Your spa MUST be installed to permit access for servicing the equipment above and/or
below any decks or floors. Access is essential and must allow adequate room for
service.
 Be sure the spa is in the final position BEFORE filling with water. Check for power
cords, tools, and hoses that may be caught underneath the spa.
CAUTION: Never try to move a spa that has not been fully drained. To do so could
result in damage to the spa and physical injury to the mover.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT LET AN EMPTY SPA REMAIN EXPOSED TO DIRECT
SUNLIGHT FOR MORE THAN A FEW MINUTES. Spa surface temperatures can reach
in excess of 150° F (65°C) if left exposed to the sun. Significant damage can occur if this
is allowed to happen, including warping and blistering of the surface. Damage, which
may occur as a result of this exposure, is not covered under the warranty. All warranties
have exclusions to this type of damage.
SHUT-OFF VALVES
Your spa is equipped with shut-off valves (see equip-
ment diagram on spa model page) that shut off the
water flow to the equipment system for dealer service.
At times, a new spa or one that has recently been
serviced, may have the shut-off valves partially closed
which can restrict the water flow and hinder jet
performance. Be sure the valves are fully open.
FREEZE PROTECTION
When a freeze condition is detected (which occurs
when the temperature in the heater housing drops to 40° F) the jet pump(s) is
automatically activated.
In areas with extreme cold winter conditions, your spa should be fine as long as it is left
running at normal operating temperatures. If you plan to turn the spa off, you must
follow the instructions in this manual for winterizing your spa.
J

MARQUIS SPAS • RELAXING YOUR WORLD 8
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
OVERHEATING
In the case of extended hot weather, the spa water temperature may reach and maintain
104° F to 106° F. This is due to the ambient temperature and the full insulation in the
spa cabinet. The simplest solution to this heat buildup is, lifting the spa cover a few
inches for several hours to allow the heat to escape. You may also have the option of
shortening the pump-run time. See Control panel section for available options.
FILTER CARTRIDGE
Your portable spa is equipped with the Constant Clean Filtration system. All 2000 and
beyond Marquis Spas use #5040, 50 sq. ft. T-Handle Filter cartridge.
Oasis, Spirit, Mirage, Spirit LX, Mirage LX, 500, 600 and 700: Features Vortex
Filter that includes Hi-Flo Vortex skimmer and filament filter cartridge.
500 LX, 600 LX, 700 LX, Reward, Destiny, Euphoria,Voyage, Marquis and
Journey US: Features two Vortex Filters which include Hi-Flo Vortex skimmers and
filament filter cartridges.
NOTE: It is very important that the components of these filtration systems be installed
properly in the proper part of the spa (see jetting diagram and REMOVING THE FILTER
for complete instructions).
JSUCTION FITTINGS
There are suction fittings in the footwell of your spa.
These are openings through which the jet-pumps draw
water. They have been equipped with safety covers.
Suction through the fittings can be strong. The safety
covers must remain in place and undamaged. A fitting
with a damaged cover can be dangerous, especially to
small children or people with long hair. Should any part
of the body become drawn to a fitting, turn the jet-
pump off immediately. Long hair should be restrained
in a bathing cap, never allow it to float freely in the spa.
Replace any missing or damaged suction covering.
OZONATOR INSTALLATION ON LEISURE AND SPORT SERIES
If your Leisure or Sport Series spa was not originally equipped with an ozone generator
and you would like to install one, refer to the following instructions and those supplied
with the ozonator. NOTE: The only ozonator U.L. listed for your spa is the Marquis
Spa Ozone Generator, available at your Marquis retailer, part OZU 120.
1. Turn off the power to the spa.
2. Open the equipment area door.
3. Plug the ozonator into the ozone receptacle on the spa control box.
4. Cut a 5" piece of the supplied 1/4" tubing and using silicone sealant, push one end
onto the 1/4" barbed fitting on the ozonator.
5. Into the other end of this tube, insert the supplied check valve, being sure the
direction of flow is away from the ozonator, not toward it.
6. Cut a long piece of tubing and make a loop approximately 8-10" in diameter, then
push it onto the exposed end of the check valve.
(CONTINUED)

7. Remove the black cap from the barbed fitting suspended above the equipment
(some water may drip from this fitting, have a towel handy).
8. Place the exposed tubing end on the 1/4" barb.
9. There is a labeled mounting block attached to the spa which shows the
mounting position of ozonator.
CAUTION: DO NOT PREDRILL SCREW HOLES.
10. Turn on the power to the spa. You will see the ozonator s blue light turn on and
bubbles come out of the single ozone jet in the spa with the primary pump on
low-speed operation.
11. Close the equipment door.

START-UP PROCEDURE
4. Fill the spa with water to two-thirds of the way up the
Vortex skimmer opening(s). The use of a Fill Filter,
#5039, is recommended, especially in areas with high
mineral content in the water.
5. Turn the power on and wait five seconds.
6. At this time the spa should have water flowing from the
jets. If the pump has not primed and water is not
flowing from the jets after two minutes TURN OFF
POWER TO THE SPA and vent air from the pumps
by slightly opening the pump union. (See TROUBLE
SHOOTING, Water Flow.)
7. Your spa water temperature is preset at 100° F. Use the TEMP SET pad on the
bather s control panel to set the water temperature to the desired level.
8. SHOCK the water and test the water chemistry following the instructions in
your Marquis Spa Care Water Treatment Guide, included with the spa. (Also see
WATER CHEMISTRY GUIDELINES below.)
9. Place the cover on the spa. It will take 12 to 24 hours for the water to heat to set
temperature.
10. Check the water temperature and adjust the setting if necessary. Normal use
is between 98° and 102° F.
Sport, Coastal and Ultimate Series Models Start-up:
1. Follow steps one through three of Leisure Series Models Start-up.
2. Check to make sure the freeze line is properly connected.
3. Follow steps five through ten of Leisure Series Models Start-up.
WATER CHEMISTRY GUIDELINES
There are several methods available to sanitize the spa water. We recommend using
chlorine or bromine and ozone. No other oxidizing agents are suggested. Use of other
oxidizing agents may damage equipment and void the warranty.
Shock Sanitation:
Shock sanitize your spa water after filling it before using the spa. This treatment provides
initial sterilization as well as kills any algae spores that may be present and oxidize
undesirable minerals and organic matter in the raw water. Repeat shock treatment
anytime the spa is refilled or the water has lost its chemical control due to neglect.
We recommend the use of sodium dichloracyanurate (DyCloro) or lithium hypochlorite.
Calcium hypochlorite is used for swimming pools and is not recommended for spas. Tri-
Cloro is not recommended either.
It s important that you read and follow the safety tips for chemical usage and storage
listed in the Water Treatment Guide. (Also see RECOMMENDED CHEMICAL LEVELS
under TROUBLESHOOTING.)
J

THERAPY PUMP(S)
Allow the spa to circulate on high-speed (see instructions for spa side controls) for 4-5
minutes to discharge air from the plumbing system. Do not expect hot water immedi-
ately from the jets; the heater will take several hours to heat the water.
Pr Diagnostic Message
NOTE: Coastal and Ultimate Series spas have a pump priming feature which begins
at start-up. When the spa is energized, the LCD panel will display a Pr message. This
mode will last approximately four to five minutes if not exited manually. To exit
manually, press the TEMP SET pad. At this time
the spa should have water flowing from the jets.
If the pump has not primed and water is not
flowing from the jets after two minutes, TURN
OFF POWER TO THE SPA. Vent air from
the pumps by slightly opening the pump unions
(see TROUBLESHOOTING section, Water
Flow). After turning the power on again, the
spa will initiate a new priming mode. Repeat
steps above.
After you have manually exited the priming mode (or you allowed the spa to automati-
cally exit) the LCD display will momentarily display 100° F and then the display will
switch to - -° F. The system requires approximately one minute of water flow to deter-
mine the water temperature. After one minute of water flow, the temperature will be
displayed as actual water temperature F. Press the TEMP SET pad to adjust the desired set
temperature for the spa.
NOTE: Your spa has been filled and test-run at the factory. The first time your spa is
filled with water, some discoloration from residual test
water may appear. This will disappear when the spa is
completely filled and the filtration system is functioning.
Test the water for the proper chemical balance and adjust
as necessary. Marquis Spa Care Products are recom-
mended. PROPER CHEMICAL BALANCE IS
IMPORTANT.
SAFETY ENERGY COVER
When the spa is not in use, the safety energy cover
should be kept on the spa to retain the water s heatand
to keep out dirt, leaves, etc. Your heater will maintain a
constant water temperature between spa uses.
For your safety and convenience, the cover is
equipped with safety locks. Marquis suggests that you
use them to help keep out unintended users and
prevent covers from being blown off in windy condi-
tions. For high wind areas, Secure Straps are available.
Duralift cover lifts are also available to assist you in
cover removal. See your Marquis Dealer.

MAXIMUM THERAPY JETTING SYSTEM
JET SELECTOR VALVE
The large, gray teardrop Jet Selector lever allows you to
redirect the water flow to different jet zones. (See ZONED
JETTING for specific options.)
CASCADE NECK JETS
Your spa may be equipped with a Therapy Seat(s) featuring
especially high Cascade Neck Jets. These jets are turned on and
off (when the jet pump is on) using the small teardrop Neck Jet
Control lever.
ISO BOOST JET
Small directional jets are strategically located to complement
the larger jets. Simply moving the nozzle redirects the water for
ideal massage. The water flow can be adjusted by using the
four tabs on the face of the jet to turn it.
POWER BOOST JET
The direction of water flow can be changed by redirecting the
central nozzle. The water flow can be adjusted by using the
four tabs on the face of the jet to turn it.
POWER SWIRL JET
Large, rotating jets provide a firm, broad area of circular massage
action. The water flow can be adjusted by using the four tabs
on the face of the jet to turn it.
CYCLO BOOST JET
This large, versatile jet flows in a straight stream. The water
flow can be adjusted by using the four tabs on the face of the
jet to turn it.
CYCLO SWIRL JET
This large, versatile jet can flow straight or can be made to
rotate by pushing the nozzle to the side (push in the direction
indicated by the point of its teardrop shape). The water flow
can be adjusted by using the four tabs on the face of the jet to
turn it.
HYDRO KINETIC (HK 0) JET
Unique Jets are strategically positioned around the perimeter of
the spa to produce a true whirlpool flow of water. This action
provides a passive, whole body massage.
GEYSER/WHIRLPOOL JET
This high-flow jet is perfect for intense foot and leg massage.
INTERCHANGEABLE JETS
Many jets are interchangeable. See your Marquis Dealer for
additional jets to customize your hydrotherapy experience.
