WARNING – To reduce the risk of injury, do not
permit children to use this product unless they are
closely supervised at all times.
DANGER – RISK OF ACCIDENTAL DROWNING.
Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent
unauthorized access by children. To avoid
accidents, ensure that children can not use the
spa unless they are supervised at all times.
A ground terminal (pressure wire connector)
is provided on the control box inside the unit to
permit connection of a minimum No. 8 AWG
(8.4 mm2) solid copper bonding conductor
between this point and any metal equipment,
metal water pipe, metal enclosures of electrical
equipment, or conduit within five feet (1.5m)
of the unit.
DANGER – To reduce the risk of injury to
persons, DO NOT remove suction fittings. The
suction fittings on 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 the spa if
the suction fittings are broken or missing.
Never replace a suction fitting with one rated
less than the flow rate marked on the original
suction fitting.
Install the spa – so proper drainage is provided
for the compartment containing electrical components.
DANGER – RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK –
Install at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from all metal
surfaces. (A spa may be installed within 5 feet
of a metal surface if each metal surface is
permanently connected by a minimum No. 8
AWG (8.42 mm2) solid copper conductor
attached to the wire connector on the terminal
box that is provided for this purpose). National
Electrical Code ANSI/NMFP A70-1993.
DANGER – RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK- Do
not permit any electrical appliances, such as a light,
telephone, radio, or television within 5 feet (1.5 m)
of the spa.
WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY:
A. The water in a spa should never exceed
40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees F). Water
temperatures between 38 degrees C (100 F)
and 40 degrees C (104 F) are considered safe
for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures
are recommended for extended use (exceeding
10 minutes) and for young children.
B. 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 temperature
to 38 degrees C (100 F).
C. Before entering a spa, the user should measure
the water temperature with an accurate
thermometer, since the tolerances 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, circulation 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WHEN INSTALLING AND USING THIS ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT, BASIC SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

PAGE 3
DO’S AND DON’TS
DO — Make sure the spa is connected to a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
protected circuit. This GFCI is required by the National Electrical Code (NEC)
and must be installed by a licensed electrician. Test the GFCI monthly.
DO — Test the water with your hand before entering the spa to be sure it is
comfortable.
DO — Remember that wet surfaces can be slippery. Take care when entering and
exiting the spa. Only enter by way of the steps in the spa. Do not step on spa
edges or filter lids.
DO — Use the thermal cover when the spa is not in use, empty or full.
DO — Take steps to prevent the intrusion of sand and dirt into the spa.
DO — Maintain proper water chemistry.
DO — Clean the filter cartridge weekly.
DON’T — Use the spa for long periods of time at temperatures over 104º F.
DON’T — Operate the spa without water. Turn the circuit breaker off before emptying the
spa and while it is empty.
DON’T — Store chemicals in the spa’s equipment compartment.
DON’T — Open the electrical box. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
DON’T — Operate the pump(s) on hi-speed for extended periods of time with the cover
on. Extended hi-speed pump operation will cause a slow heat build-up due to
water friction, which could trip the spa’s hi-limit thermostat.
WARNINGS
Prolonged immersion in water that is warmer than normal body temperature can result in a dangerous
condition known as HYPERTHERMIA. The causes, symptoms, and effects 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 degrees F. The symptoms of hyperthermia include dizziness,
fainting, drowsiness, lethargy, and an increase in the internal temperature of the body. The effects of
hyperthermia include (1) unawareness of impending hazard, (2) failure to perceive heat, (3) failure to
recognize the need to exit the spa, (4) physical inability to exit the spa, (5) fetal damage in pregnant women,
and (6) unconsciousness resulting in a danger of drowning.
WARNING – The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in spas.
Persons taking medications that induce drowsiness such as tranquilizers, antihistamines or anticoagulants
should not use the spa. Pregnant women and persons with a medical history of heart disease, circulatory
problems, diabetes or high blood pressure should consult their physician before using the spa.
Children are especially sensitive to hot water. At no time should children have unsupervised access to the spa.
The use of elevated decking may encourage children to climb onto the thermal cover – IT IS NOT DESIGNED
AS A SAFETY OR CHILD RESISTANT COVER!
Every Vita Spa comes with a thermal cover which is provided with locking straps. Install the locks for your
child’s safety.

PAGE 4
SITE SELECTION / PREPARATION:
The spa must be installed on a structurally strong,
solid and reasonably level surface. The majority
of the weight of the spa is placed under the
footwell area of the spa. This area must be firmly
supported at all times. The site should allow for
drainage away from the equipment compartment
in which the electrical components are housed.
Take into account the following when considering
prospective sites.
Vita Spas have a loading capacity in the range of
57lbs/sq ft to 83 lbs/sq ft. Refer to your actual
model for exact loading requirements.
LOCAL CODES:
There may be certain restrictions and/ or
requirements that are particular to your
locality.
DELIVERY PASSAGEWAY:
Doors, halls, stairs, etc. may pose obstructions to
deliver the spa to its intended site.
MAINTENANCE:
Trees, lawn, placement surfaces, etc. can create
extra work in keeping your spa area clean and
safe. Please be advised that placing your spa on
dirt or grass may increase the amount of debris
inadvertently brought into the spa water on the
feet of users or by the wind. The intrusion of this
debris into the spa water may cause harm to your
equipment as well as the spa surface and is not
covered under warranty.
PRIVACY AND WIND SHIELDING:
A sheltered environment can result in lower
operating and maintenance costs. You may also
want to take into consideration your privacy
during times of the year when trees may be
barren, having the spa located where you have a
view of a peaceful sunset, where you may be
able to catch soothing breezes, or your view and
the view of your neighbors may also be
something that you should address prior to the
final installation of your spa.

1. The spa must be permanently connected
(hardwired) to the power supply. No
extension cords or plug-type connections are
to be used in conjunction with the operation
of the spa. Failure to supply power to the spa
that is not in accordance with these
instructions could create a potential health
hazard and will void both the manufacturer’s
warranty and the independent testing agency
listing.
2. The National Electrical Code (NEC)
requires that the power supply to this spa
must be a dedicated, ground fault circuit
(GFCI) protected circuit with no other
appliances or lights sharing power on this
circuit.
3. Refer to the wiring diagram posted inside
the electrical equipment door to determine
the current, voltage, and wire size
requirements for your spa.
4. THHN type wire is recommended. The wire
size for the distance of the wire run must
conform to NEC and local electrical codes.
5. To ensure proper connections use copper
conductors only.
DO NOT USE ALUMINUM WIRE.
6. The spas’ power terminal strip is located
within the electrical control box.
7. Feed supply conductors through power
supply inlets provided on the spa and
install into the control box. Modifications
to the electrical equipment box are not
permitted. Drilling holes in the electrical
control box to provide access for wires in
areas other than those provided for will
void the manufacturer’s warranty and the
independent testing agency listing.
8. Connect wires to terminal block (TBI) color for
color. All wires must be connected or damage
may result. TIGHTEN SECURELY!
PAGE 10
ALL WIRING TO THE SPA SHOULD BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL
LOCAL AND NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODES. ALL WI RING SHOULD
BE PERFORMED BY A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN KNOWLEDGEABLE IN
THE OPERATION AND WI RING OF A GFCI PROTECTED SYSTEM.

PAGE 11
INSTALLING THE SPA COVER
1. Position the cover squarely over the spa.
2. Position the locks for the tie-downs on the sides of the spa. You should allow approximately 1/2” to 3/4”
slack in the straps for ease of insertion into the locks and to allow for material shrinkage during
temperature changes.
3. Using the screws provided, attach the locks and insert the cover tie-down straps. Utilizing the cover
anytime the spa is not in use will reduce heat loss and thereby reduce the amount of running time
required to make up that loss by the heating system.
Keep cover fastened down at all times when not in use.
DANGER - RISK OF INJURY
To reduce the risk of potential injury:
1. Never leave a spa uncovered or unattended.
2. Never leave a spa cover unlocked.
3. Do not stand, sit, or lie on the cover.
ALWAYS REMOVE SNOW FROM THE COVER. THE COVER HAS NOT BEEN
DESIGNED TO SUSPEND THE WEIGHT OF WET SNOW.

Twice each day, at 10AM and 6PM,
the blower and jet pump(s) will
automatically run for one minute to
circulate potential stale water in the
piping. This is a normal function of the
spa. “BJ2P” will be displayed while this
takes place. You can manually stop the
purge cycle by pressing any button.
B. MEMORY
All settings that are entered into your spa
controller will be permanently retained in
its solid state memory. In the event of a
power failure, the time will be captured
and held until power returns. All settings
existing at the time of the power failure
will be restored when power returns.
C. SYSTEM RESET
Anytime there is reason to believe that
your spa electronic system is not operating
properly, perhaps as a result of lightning or
other interference, like your PC at home,
your spa system can be reset by holding
down the “PROG” button for 5 seconds.
The system will be reset, maintaining all
the settings you had in memory. If your
spa still does not operate properly, the
system needs to be rebooted to factory
settings as follows:
1. Turn off the power breaker to the spa
for five minutes.
2. Turn breaker on
3. Hold down the “VIEW” button for
10 seconds. ”12:00” will be displayed
and all previous settings will be lost
other than temperature ”102ºF.”
Time, day, and heat days will have to
be programmed into the system.
D. INVERTING DISPLAY
The Selectron Plus display can be
inverted to allow easier reading from
inside the spa. To do so, first make sure
“TIME” is displayed. Use “VIEW”
button to change to “TIME” display if
needed. Then press the “DOWN” arrow
for approximately 10 seconds to invert
the display. Follow the same procedure
to revert the view back to its original
position.
E. PANEL LOCK
The Selectron Plus spa panel can be
locked to keep children or others from
using any of the spa functions. To
deactivate all buttons, make sure
“TIME” is displayed. Use “VIEW”

needed. Then hold the “UP” arrow
button for 5 seconds. Notice the flashing
lock icon. The panel is locked. To unlock
the panel, hold the “UP” arrow button
for 5 seconds again. The flashing lock
icon will disappear and all spa functions
will be accessible.
F. HEATER LOCK
You may want to prevent anyone from
changing the water temperature you
have chosen, while still allowing the use
of any of the spa functions. This can be
accomplished from the “PANEL LOCK”
position only. Follow the “PANEL LOCK”
procedures first and then, with the lock
icon flashing, hold down the “DOWN”
arrow for 5 seconds. The lock icon will be
present but not flashing. All other spa
functions will still operate. To unlock the
“HEATER LOCK” and “PANEL LOCK”
hold down the “UP” arrow button for 5

SPECIAL FEATURES

PAGE 15
G. FREEZE PROTECTION
If the temperature in the spa plumbing falls
below 50º Fahrenheit (10º Celsius) the
water pump(s) will turn on soft-mode and
run for at least one minute. The display will
show “ICE”. After one minute, if the water is
still below 50º F (10º Celsius), the heater
will turn on and raise the water temperature
10º F.
H. FLOW PROTECTION
If the flow of water through the heater
is insufficient, the spa controller will
automatically turn the heater off to
prevent overheating. The display will show
“FLO”, indicating a flow restriction caused
by a clogged filter, shut gate valves or by
a malfunction in the pressure switch. Call for
service if you cannot pinpoint the cause.
I. OVERHEAT PROTECTION
If the water temperature inside the spa
reaches 110º F, the display will show “HILI”
(High Limit) and the heater will be disabled.
If the water temperature continues to rise
and reaches 118º F due to friction in the
pumps and plumbing system, the entire
system including all pumps will be disabled.
In “HILI” condition, DO NOT ENTER THE
WATER! Remove the cover and allow the
water temperature to cool down to 104
degrees F. Then reset the system by holding
down the “PROG” button for 5 seconds. If
the “HILI” message returns, call for service.
K. H.E.E.T. PUMP
Each spa is equipped with Vita Spa’s
exclusive High Efficiency Energy Transfer
pump. Similar to the principle of heat
transfer pumps, the H.E.E.T. system
transfers the heat generated by the
circulation pump motor to the water 24
hours a day. After the first twelve hours of
operation each day, as a protection against
overheating, the H.E.E.T. pump will turn off
if the water temperature exceeds the
desired temperature. The 4kw-system
heater will come back on when the water
temperature falls 1 degree F° under the
desired temperature.
L. SKIM–AWAY
Skim–Away is an automatic skimming
action which takes place each day from
8am until 8:30am each morning and
from 4pm until 4:30pm each afternoon.
The primary pump will activate in high
speed mode. This will pull all surface oils
and debris into the filter well cavity.
M. REMOTE CONTROL
Your spa model may come equipped with a
remote control located on the opposite side
of the spa from the main spa side control.
The remote control will operate the jets,
blower, and light. It can not be used to
program the spa.

PAGE 16
Example:
Let’s assume that you have selected 100
degrees F as your desired temperature in
the “Setting Permanent Temperature”
procedure and Sunday as “1.” You would
now like to lower the water temperature
to 80 degrees F on Mondays, Tuesdays, and
Wednesdays.
Press “PROG.”
Hold down “PROG” for 5 seconds.
Press “PROG” as many times as needed to
display “hd=2” (Monday).
Press “UP” to display temperature.
Hold down “DOWN” button to lower
temperature to 80 degrees F.
Repeat steps 2, 3, & 4 to do the same for
Tuesday and Wednesday.
Note that using the procedure outlined in
“Setting Permanent Temperature” will reset all
heat days to the same temperature.
ADD START UP CHEMICAL
Carefully follow the directions and add the
start-up chemicals recommended to you by
your dealer. Contact your dealer to clarify
any questions you may have.
“F” FAHRENHEIT OR “C” CELSIUS DEGREES
Your spa has been preset to show the
temperature in Fahrenheit “F” degrees in
areas that use 60 Hz electricity. In areas
powered by 50 Hz, the temperature will
automatically be displayed in Celsius “C” on
your display.
HEAT DAYS
If your spa is located in a weekend home,
or if your schedule allows utilization of the
spa only on certain days of the week, you
may decide for energy conservation reasons
to lower the water temperature on the days
you will not use the spa. To choose different
temperatures for different days of the week:
1. Press the “PROG” button. The heater
icon will start flashing. With the temperature
showing and the heater icon flashing,
hold down the “PROG” button for
5 seconds and the current heat day
(hd=1,hd=2…etc.) will appear.
2. Press the “PROG” button to advance to the
next heat day or if you would like to change
the temperature from the originally set
temperature.
