Master Spas Michael Phelps Chilly GOAT Valaris Troubleshooting guide

Quick Start-Up Guide
VALARIS

PLANNING FOR ACCESS
AND VENTILATION
Place your Chilly GOAT Valaris in its
final position, allowing for access to
the equipment and components.
Master Spas recommends that there
be at least 3 feet of space around all
sides of the Chilly GOAT. In addition,
there should be 6 feet of open space
on the chiller side. This provides
adequate space for ventilation, regular
maintenance, and service.
Move your Chilly GOAT
into place and wait 24 hours
before beginning the start-up process.

ACCESSING EQUIPMENT
Remove the equipment access panel.
You can remove the panel by lifting it
vertically until it stops. Then, carefully
pull the bottom of the panel outward,
at an angle to unhook it from the
channel. Although one person can do
so, it is convenient to have help when
removing the longer side panels.
With the equipment access panel removed,
check that all pump and heater unions are secure.
The therapy pump, heater, and chiller each have
two unions. The unions might become loose
during transportation. Also, check that all slice
valves are open in the up position. The slice
valves might be closed during the transportation
of the Chilly GOAT.
CONNECT DRAIN LINE
It is normal for there to be
condensation. To protect your Valaris,
you need to connect the manufacturer
installed condensation line. The
condensation drain can be found
below the skirting panel that runs the
length of the cold tub. Attach the
provided clear 3/8” ID hose to coupler
and route the drain line away from
the unit.

COLD TUB SECTION START-UP
Turn on power to your Chilly GOAT
at the breaker. The circulation pump
on the cold tub side should start up
immediately. If you hear the pump
running but there is no water flow
circulating, turn o power to the cold
tub and turn it back on. If the pump
is not primed after restarting, turn o
power and refer to the owner’s manual
Initial Chilly GOAT Set-Up, step #8, for
further directions.
FILLING YOUR VALARIS
Attach a pre-filter to your
garden hose and fill each side of
the Valaris to the minimum safe
water level. Be sure to remove
the filter housing and filters
before starting the filling process. This can help
prime the pumps.
Use pre-filter while filling both sides of Chilly GOAT

HOT TUB SECTION START-UP
Once you have confirmed that the cold tub pump is
primed, turn o power at the breaker and back on.
Now check to make sure that the hot tub pumps are
primed and producing water flow.
Once the topside control panel of the hot tub
displays priming mode or “run pumps purge air”,
activate the jets button to confirm that there is not
an air lock in the therapy pump. During this first 5
minutes of power up, the light button can be used
to engage the circulation pump and confirm the
pump is primed. You can check the flow of water from the circulation pump by putting
your hand in front of the circulation pump discharge.
Most of the jets in the hot tub are adjustable and removable by turning the face of the
jet. Check that the adjustable jets of the hot tub are open by turning the face of the
jets counterclockwise.

SETTING UP THE CHILLER
Confirm the chiller is on, if not press the
power button for 3 seconds. Then wait 10
minutes to adjust the temperature. This
10-minute window was designed to give
you time to connect to the app in Step 9.
To change the temperature, press the up or
down buttons accordingly.
You can press the “M” button to switch between the heating and cooling modes.
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
It’s exciting and tough to wait, but give your cold tub a couple hours between
water temperature checks. The cooling or heating capabilities will vary depending
on the ambient temperature conditions, ventilation air flow and the current water
temperature. Your cold tub will need some time to cool. Your hot tub water will heat
approximately 3 to 4 degrees Fahrenheit per hour (1 to 2 degrees Celsius) with the cover
placed on your Valaris.
Adjust water chemistry in hot and cold sections according to the instructions provided
in the Water Maintenance section of your owner’s manual.

CONNECTING TO THE SMART LIFE APP AND
CONTROLLING YOUR COLD TUB
Your Valaris has a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi connectivity option. You can
take advantage of this feature to control your chiller and
temperature setting on the cold tub side.
To get started, download the Smart Life app, which is available
on the Google Play or Apple App stores. Sign up and register
to create your account.
With your cold tub turned on, make sure that the circulation pump is moving water
through the chiller.
You can connect to the Smart Life app during the first 10 minutes of the start-up
period while the word “NET” is flashing on the chiller.
Open the Smart Life app on your phone and log in to your account. Click the “+” in the
upper right corner and select “Add Device.” Follow the directions on the app to add
“Pool Heat Pump.” Reattach the access panel to complete the set-up.
NOTE: It might take several times to pair your cold tub depending on the strength of your
Wi-Fi signal. Retry as needed or provide a stronger 2.4GHz Wi-Fi signal to the area where the
cold tub is located.
