CHOOSING A LOCATION FOR THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA
There are many factors to consider when choosing a location to set up the hydrotherapy spa. These factors vary
depending on whether you use the hydrotherapy spa inside or outside. We have listed several factors you may
wish to consider as you decide where you want to use the hydrotherapy spa.
If you set up t e ydrot erapy spa inside:
1. The hydrotherapy spa will increase the level of
humidity in your home. The location you choose
should be well ventilated. You may need to install
a ventilation fan or use a dehumidifier.
2. The location must be close to an electrical outlet.
Do not use an extension cord wit t e
ydrot erapy spa.
3. The hydrotherapy spa should be close to a source
of water.
4. Do not use the hydrotherapy spa on carpet or
other material that may be damaged by moisture.
We recommend that you place the hydrotherapy
spa on a water- and stain-resistant, non-slip sur-
face with a floor drain for any water that may
splash from the hydrotherapy spa.
5. Be sure that the location you choose is stable. It
must be able to support the weight of the
hydrotherapy spa when it is filled with water, plus
the weight of the occupants. The hydrotherapy
spa weighs approximately 2 pounds when
filled with water.
6. Do not use the hydrotherapy spa above a finished
living area, due to the risk of water damage.
7. Be sure that there is room around the hydrothera-
py spa to permit servicing of the unit. The dimen-
sions of the spa are: 5’1 ”W x 6’4”L x 2’6”H. You
should allow for this size when choosing the loca-
tion.
8. The hydrotherapy spa is not designed for in-floor
installation. However, it is compatible with a deck
system that is built flush with the top of the spa,
provided you leave access to the motor for ser-
vice.
9. Be sure to note any other considerations, such as
aesthetics or privacy concerns, which may affect
the safety or enjoyment of using the hydrotherapy
spa.
If you set up t e ydrot erapy spa outside:
1. You should check your local building codes con-
cerning the use of outdoor spas.
2. The location must be close to an electrical outlet.
Do not use an extension cord wit t e
ydrot erapy spa.
3. The hydrotherapy spa should be close to a source
of water.
4. We recommend that you place the hydrotherapy
spa on a water- and stain-resistant, non-slip sur-
face. Do not use the hydrotherapy spa on rough
or sharp surfaces such as gravel or wood chips.
5. Be sure that the location you choose is stable. It
must be able to support the weight of the
hydrotherapy spa when it is filled with water, plus
the weight of the occupants. The hydrotherapy
spa weighs approximately 2 pounds when
filled with water.
6. Think about environmental factors, such as rain,
wind, shade, sunlight, and so forth.
7. You should be able to monitor the use of the
hydrotherapy spa from your home, to prevent
unauthorized use by children. You may want to
enclose the spa with a fence and self-latching
gate to prevent unauthorized use.
8. Be sure that there is room around the hydrothera-
py spa to permit servicing of the unit. The dimen-
sions of the spa are: 5’1 ”W x 6’4”L x 2’6”H. You
should allow for this size when choosing the loca-
tion.
9. The hydrotherapy spa is not designed for inground
installation. However, it is compatible with a deck
system that is built flush with the top of the spa,
provided you leave access to the motor for ser-
vice.
1 . Be sure to note any other considerations, such as
aesthetics or privacy concerns, which may affect
the safety or enjoyment of using the hydrotherapy
spa.

SET-UP AND ASSEMBLY
Before beginning assembly, carefully read t e
following information and instructions:
• Place all parts in a cleared area and remove the
packing materials from the spa shell; do not dis-
pose of the packing materials until assembly is
completed and the spa is in operation.
• Assembly requires two people.
• During assembly, make sure that all parts are ori-
ented as shown in the drawings.
• Read each assembly step before you begin.
•Tighten all parts as you assemble them, unless
instructed to do otherwise.
ASSEMBLY REQUIRES THE FOLLOWING
TOOLS (not included):
• One (1) p illips screwdriver
• You may also need some soap or wax.
1. Before beginning assembly, be sure t at you
ave read and understand t e information on
t e previous two pages.
Remove the four cover screws from the access
cover. Remove the access cover from the Spa Unit
(15) by sliding the access cover down and pulling
the bottom of access cover away from the Spa Unit.
Be careful not to damage t e spa s ell.
Remove the Power Cord with the GFCI (36) from
inside the Spa Unit (15).
2. Locate and check the position of the cut-off valves.
Occasionally the valves will be closed at the factory
during manufacturing. The cut-off valves must be
open for proper spa operation. To open the valves,
hold one of the handles and turn the handle until
you can pull it out to the open position. Open the
other valve in the same manner. WARNING: THE

the two warning decals (not shown) from the spa
shell. Before you fill the spa, be sure that it is in the
position you want, and that it can be easily ser-
viced, if needed. Once the spa is filled with water, it
must be drained to be moved.
Using a garden hose or other clean water source,
begin filling the spa. The water temperature does
not matter; however, if you use warm or hot water,
the spa will be ready to use sooner. Fill the spa,
until the water is about four inches below the con-
sole. Do not overfill t e spa.
4. Place the Spa Cover (18) over the spa. Be sure
t at t e Spa Cover is properly centered.

(2) on the wood panels on the Spa Unit (15). Hold
the Buckle in place so the strap on the Spa Cover
(18) is tight. (Note: It may be easier to position the
Buckle if a second person holds the strap on the
opposite side of the Spa Cover tight.) T e Spa
Cover must be tig t. Do not place t e Buckle
over one of t e grooves in t e wood panels.
Remove the latch. Attach the Buckle to the side of
the spa with two Buckle Screws (1). Note: It may
be elpful to use a drill wit a 1/16” drill bit to
make starter oles in t e wood panels. You may
also want to apply a little soap or wax to t e
screw t reads.

USING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA
The hydrotherapy spa is designed to seat five adults.
The ten thera-jets can be regulated to provide a relax-
ing massage to sooth away stress, and the strength
of the water massage can be adjusted by the air con-
trol. The hydrotherapy spa holds 2 gallons of water
and offers an automatic, programmable heating (41°F
to 1 4°F) and filtration system.
The guidelines below explain how to properly use the
hydrotherapy spa. Follow these guidelines to maintain
the hydrotherapy spa for your long-term enjoyment.
PLUGGING IN THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA
Once the hydrotherapy spa is filled with water and
you ave made sure t at t e cut-off valves to t e
pump are open, the power cord can be plugged in
and the spa can be turned on. Note: The first time the
power cord is plugged in, the spa will turn on auto-
matically.
When connecting the power cord, plug the power cord
directly into a grounded circuit capable of carrying 15
or more amps. No other appliance should be on the
same circuit. Replace the power cord immediately if it
becomes damaged.
The power cord is equipped with a Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), located at the end of the
power cord. You should always test the GFCI before
using the hydrotherapy spa.
First, turn on the hydrotherapy spa by pressing the
power button on the console. Once the unit is run-
ning, press the GFCI “test” button. The hydrotherapy
spa should shut off. Press the “reset” button. The
hydrotherapy spa should resume normal operation. If
the hydrotherapy spa continues to run after the “test”
button is pressed, then the GFCI is damaged. Do not
use the hydrotherapy spa until the GFCI has been
repaired or replaced by a qualified electrician.
TESTING AND TREATING THE WATER
The hydrotherapy spa comes with a starter chemical
pack for maintaining the water in the spa. Disregard
the directions on the individual packages of “QUICK
pHix It DOWN” and “QUICK pHix It UP.” However, the
directions on the bottle of “Non-chlorine Shox” and
“Bromine Base” are correct. Always keep t e c emi-
cals away from c ildren and pets.
The first time you use the spa, you should test and
treat the water. You must also treat t e water eac
time you refill t e spa. Once you have verified that
the spa is functioning properly, and the water has cir-
culated for a while, remove the spa cover and add 1/3
of the “Bromine Base” bottle, and 1/3 of the “Non-
chlorine Shox” bottle to the water. Allow the water to
circulate for five minutes. You should now test the pH
of the water. You will need a pH test kit (not included),
which can be obtained at a pool and spa supply store.
The pH reading should be between 7.2 and 7.8.
If the level is too low, add half of one of the “QUICK
pHix It UP” packets to the water. Let the water circu-
late through the spa for five minutes. Test the pH level
again. Repeat until the pH level is correct.
If the level is too high, add half of one of the “QUICK
pHix It DOWN” packets to the water. Let the water cir-
culate through the spa for five minutes. Test the pH
level again. Repeat until the pH level is correct.
See WATER CHEMISTRY on page 17 for information
concerning proper water maintenance.
STARTING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA
Once you have tested the GFCI, you should verify the
water flow from the pumping unit. Set the air control
on the console to the lowest setting (see USING THE
CONSOLE on page 13). The pumping unit will heat
the water as it pumps. Cover the hydrotherapy spa
with the spa cover. T e spa cover must be tig t.
(See SECURING THE SPA COVER on page 14.) The
water will heat at about 2. °F an hour with the cover
on. If you are using the spa indoors, and the room
temperature is maintained at 7 °F, it will take approxi-
mately 24 to 26 hours for the water to reach the set
temperature.
The temperature and water flow can be set or
changed by the controls on the console (see USING
THE CONSOLE on page 13).

SPA OPERATION
Refer to the diagram above. The function of each
component is explained below:
The six uni-directional t era-jets (A) are located on
both sides of the spa. Five jets focus the water mas-
sage on your upper or lower back. The remaining jet
provides a foot hydro-massage when you are in the
reclining seat.
The t ree multi-directional t era-jets (B) can be
adjusted for a custom hydro-massage. Each thera-jet
can also be shut off by being pressed in and turned
back on by pulling the jet back out.
One of the jets is located on the reclining seat and
focuses the water massage on your lower back.
Another jet is located on one of the bench seats,
below a uni-directional thera-jet, and focuses the
water massage on your lower or middle back. The
remaining jet, located on the other bench seat, focus-
es the water massage on your upper or lower back.
The filter (C) can be removed for replacement and
cleaning (see page 16).
The suction vents (D), located near the floor of the
spa, bring the water into the pump, in order to operate
the system. The suction covers should always be in
place over the suction vents. Never operate t e spa
wit out t e suction covers in place.
This spa is ozone ready. An optional ozone generator
can be installed to utilize the ozone jet (E). Ozone
provides a way to help sanitize your spa with minimal
chemical treatment.
The temperature probe (F) reads the current water
temperature, which is displayed on the console.
The spa also has a light (G) for evening use.
The RESTORATION 51 features automatic freeze
protection. If the water temperature falls below 4 °F,
the pump will begin circulating and heating the water
to prevent the water from freezing.

ADJUSTING THE FILTER CYCLE
The spa filter cycle runs automatically to clean the
water in the spa. However, the number of times that
the filter cycle needs to run depends on how often the
spa is used.
If many different people use the spa regularly, then
the water will need to be filtered more often than if it
is only used occasionally by a few. The number of
daily cycles, as well as the length of the cycle can be
adjusted.
The pump can run one to three filter cycles daily. To
change the number of cycles, press the pump and up
buttons at the same time. The number of cycles will
appear in the temperature display. Use the up and
down buttons to select the desired number of cycles.
Each cycle can run for 6 , 12 , or 18 minutes. To
change the length of the cycle, press the light and up
buttons at the same time. The length of the cycle will
appear in the temperature display. Use the up and
down buttons to select the desired cycle length.
The pump or the light may turn on while you are
adjusting the filter cycle. If this happens, you can turn
the pump or light off once you have finished the
adjustment procedure.
SECURING THE SPA COVER
The spa cover can be
secured by snapping
the latches on the spa
cover into the buckles
on the side panels.
The buckles can be
locked by inserting the
key and turning it
clockwise a quarter
turn. To unlock the buckles, insert the key and turn it
counterclockwise a quarter turn.
Always keep t e buckles locked w en t e spa is
not in use. Keep t e keys in a safe place, out of
t e reac of c ildren.

The hydrotherapy spa is designed to provide you with
years of enjoyment. Please follow the guidelines
below to properly maintain your hydrotherapy spa.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
DAILY
• Check the water level and refill the spa to the level
shown on page1 , step 3.
• Check the pH balance and sanitizer level. Adjust if
necessary (see WATER CHEMISTRY on page 17).
• Clean the surface of the water with a skimming net.
WEEKLY
• Clean the spa shell at the waterline.
• Check and thoroughly clean the filter (see CHECK-
ING AND CLEANING THE FILTER on this page).
• Replace the filter if needed (see ORDERING
REPLACEMENT PARTS on page 26).
MONTHLY
• Clean the spa cover (see MAINTAINING THE SPA
COVER below).
• Soak the filter for two hours in a trisodium phos-
phate (TSP) solution. Rinse the filter in clean water.
• Replace the filter if needed (see ORDERING
REPLACEMENT PARTS on page 26).
EVERY THREE MONTHS
• Drain the spa and refill with clean water. Sanitize
and test the pH of the water.
• Check for any leaks around the pump or joints in
the pipes. The seals will wear out over time; detect-
ing leaks early can reduce repair costs.
• Clean the interior of the spa. Do not use solvents or
waxes.
EVERY SIX MONTHS
• Treat the exterior with a wood sealant (see MAIN-
TAINING THE SPA EXTERIOR below).
MAINTAINING THE SPA EXTERIOR
The wood panel exterior has been treated with a
sealant at the factory to protect the wood from water
damage. We suggest that you treat the wood finish
twice a year with an additional coat of weather
sealant. Contact your local spa and pool supplier for
advice on which sealants work best in your climate.
CLEANING THE SPA SHELL
The spa shell should be cleaned with a mild soap
solution. Do not use solvents. The spa should always
be clean and dry before being moved or stored.
MAINTAINING THE SPA COVER
The spa cover should be cleaned monthly. To clean
the spa cover, use water and a non-abrasive cleaner
on the entire cover. Rinse the cover with a garden
hose to remove any cleaner residue. Dry the cover
entirely. You should also use a non-silicone based
vinyl conditioner on the cover after you clean it. This
will help protect the cover from sun damage.
CHECKING AND CLEANING THE FILTER
The filter should be checked periodically for build-up
of dirt and oil. If the filter needs to be cleaned, follow
the steps below:
1. Turn off the power.
2. Unscrew the filter from the filter housing in the
spa shell and remove it from the spa.
3. Check the filter for any dirt or debris. If the filter
needs to be cleaned, rinse the filter with a hose. If
the filter still is dirty, you will need to soak it in a
cleaning solution which can be obtained from a
pool and spa supply store.
4. Inspect the filter for damage. Replace the filter if
there are any signs of damage.
5. Re-insert the threaded end of the cleaned filter
into the filter housing. Screw the filter into place.
REPLACING THE LIGHT BULB
If the light in the spa shell burns out, you will need to
remove the access cover to replace it (see ATTACH-
ING AND REMOVING THE ACCESS COVER on
page 17).
Locate the light housing. Turn the housing counter-
clockwise and remove it from the spa shell.
To replace the light bulb, pull the old bulb out of the
housing and insert a new light bulb. Re-attach the
light housing to the spa shell. Re-attach the access
cover to the spa unit.

SANITIZING THE DAYBREAK
Please refer to your local pool and spa supplier for
information concerning which chemicals you should
use in your area to sanitize the spa.
The most common sanitizing agent is a solid bromine
concentrate. The amount required varies according to
several factors, such as user load, temperature, water
conditions, and so forth.
Proper water maintenance is a fairly complex process.
We recommend that you contact your local pool and
spa supplier for information on how you should best
accomplish this.
WATER CHEMISTRY
The hydrotherapy spa comes with a starter chemical
pack for maintaining the water in the spa. (See TEST-
ING AND TREATING THE WATER on page 11.)
Additional chemicals can be purchased at a pool and
spa supply store.
CAUTION: T e c emicals used to maintain t e pH
balance of t e water and to sanitize t e water can
be dangerous. Always follow t ese basic guide-
lines w en andling t e c emicals:
1. Always read and follow t e directions on
t e label, unless directed ot erwise.
2. Never mix different c emicals.
3. Do not exceed t e recommended amounts
of c emicals—follow t e directions on t e
label closely.
4. Keep all c emicals out of t e reac of c il-
dren and pets.
5. Keep all containers closed tig tly w en
not in use.
6. Never add water to t e c emicals—always
add t e c emicals to t e water as directed.
7. Always store c emicals in a cool, dry
place.
MAINTAINING THE PROPER PH BALANCE
The pH factor is a measure of relative acidity or alka-
linity in the water. It is measured on a scale of 1 to 14.
Pure water has a value of 7, which is neutral. Any
value above 7 is alkaline, and any value below 7 is
acidic. You should maintain a slightly alkaline pH
level, between 7.2 and 7.8, in the hydrotherapy spa.
Severe problems can occur when the pH balance is
not maintained within this range. If the pH level
exceeds 7.8, dissolved minerals can build-up and clog
the plumbing in the spa jet unit. If the pH level falls
below 7.2, the acid level in the water will begin to cor-
rode the metal parts in the spa jet unit. Also, the sani-
tation agents in the water will not be effective if the pH
level is not properly maintained. Damage caused by
improper pH levels is not covered under the warranty.
To maintain the proper pH level, you should test the
pH of the water regularly. You will need a pH test kit
(not included), which can be obtained at a pool and
spa supply store. The pH reading should be between
7.2 and 7.8. If the level is too low, add a pH increaser
(usually soda ash). If the level is too high, add a pH
reducer (usually sodium bisulfate). Test the water
again after five minutes. See the instructions with your
pH test kit for additional information about testing and
adjusting the pH.
ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE ACCESS
COVER
To remove the access cover, remove the four cover
screws from the access cover. Slide the access cover
down and pull the bottom of the access cover away
from the Spa Unit. Be careful not to damage t e
spa s ell as you remove t e cover.
To replace the access cover, insert the top of the
cover under the edge of the spa shell. Slide the cover
up until the bottom of the cover will clear the trim
along the bottom of the spa unit. Slide the cover into
place and re-attach the four cover screws.
If you will be storing the spa for any period of time,
you should place the power cord inside the spa unit
before re-attaching the access cover.
DRAINING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA
The hydrotherapy spa should be drained at least four
times a year and refilled with clean water. You may
need to drain the spa more often, depending on the
user load. This must be done, because after repeated

chemical treatment, the water becomes chemically
saturated. Once this happens, additional chemical
treatment of the water is no longer effective. The spa
should also be drained if you will not be using it for
long periods of time. The spa must always be drained
before major repairs are made.
T e ydrot erapy spa s ould always be covered
w en it is empty. Direct sunlig t can cause exten-
sive damage. T e surface of t e spa s ell can
reac temperatures as ig as 150°F in a matter
of minutes if exposed to t e sun w ile it is empty.
T ese ig temperatures can cause significant
damage, suc as blistering of t e s ell surface
and warping of t e spa s ell. Any damage caused
by sun exposure is not covered under warranty.
To drain the hydrotherapy spa, follow these steps:
1. Set the temperature control on the console to the
lowest setting.
2. Unplug the power cord.
3. Remove the access cover from the back of the
spa unit.
4. Remove the drainage hose from the clip and
attach a garden hose to the valve on the
drainage hose.
5. Open the valve by turning the knob counterclock-
wise. The water will begin to drain.
6. When the spa is empty, close the valve and
remove the garden hose. Return the drainage
hose to the clip and replace the access cover.
7. Refill the spa and treat the water with chemicals
(see pages 11 and 17).
DRAINING THE PUMP
After the hydrotherapy
spa is drained (see
DRAINING THE
HYDROTHERAPY
SPA on page 17), the
pump in the spa jet
unit should also be
drained if the spa will
be stored for more than thirty days, or if it may be
exposed to freezing temperatures.
To drain the pump, remove the access cover from the
spa unit (see ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE
ACCESS COVER on page 17). Locate the pump
inside the spa unit. Remove the drain plug from the
pump. Tip the spa jet unit slightly, until all the water
has drained from the pump. Replace the drain plug.
OPENING AND CLOSING THE CUT-OFF VALVES
For minor repairs to the pump/motor, the cut-off
valves can be closed. To close the valves, remove
the access cover from the back of the spa unit.
Locate both cut-off valves. Push the handles into the
closed position and turn the handles until they lock
into place.
If you are planning to work on the pump/motor, you
will also need to drain the pump (see this page).
To open the valves, turn the handles until they are
unlocked, and pull the handles out to the open posi-
tion.
WINTER USE AND CARE
The hydrotherapy spa is designed for year-round use.
If you decide to store the hydrotherapy spa for the
winter, store it in a warm, dry location. Follow the
steps below to winterize the hydrotherapy spa.
1. Drain the spa (see DRAINING THE
HYDROTHERAPY SPA on page 17).
2. Remove all remaining water from the spa shell.
Dry the spa shell with towels.
3. Set the air control on the console to the lowest
setting. Use a wet/dry vacuum to pull any remain-
ing water from the system. To do this, place the
vacuum nozzle over each thera-jet, starting with
the highest jet and finishing with the lowest one.
4. Set the air control on the console to the highest
setting and repeat step 3.

7. Clean the filter (see page 16).
8. Re-attach the access cover.
9. Re-attach the spa cover.
CONVERTING THE SPA TO A 240 VOLT POWER
SOURCE
The RESTORATION 51 is designed to operate with
either a 12 v or 24 v power source. For your conve-
nience, it is shipped ready to be plugged directly into
a 12 v/15 amp home outlet.
However, you can greatly improve the performance of
the spa by converting the spa’s power supply to
receive power from a 24 v power source. If the spa is
converted, it must be wired directly into a 24 v GFCI
in your home by a qualified electrician.
