Your new spa’s GFCI will trip.
A Ground Fault Interrupter (GFCI) Trip Test must occur to
allow proper spa function.
Spas that come with MXBP20 and MXBP100 control
systems come with special instructions for the installer/
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 spa trips, this is
normal behavior. Please reset the breaker and enjoy
your spa. The trip test has been completed successfully.
If your spa was not wired to a GFCI breaker or your
breaker fails the GFCI Trip Test, the spa will repeatedly
attempt (at preset intervals) to trip the breaker in the fu-
ture 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 hot tub. For more information, refer to the
MXBP20 and MXBP100 sections of this manual or your
local dealer.

SPA INSTALLATION
The electrical supply for this product must
include a suitably rated switch or circuit
breaker to open all ungrounded supply
conductors to comply with Section 422-20
of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA70-
1987. The disconnecting means must be
accessible but installed at least 5 feet (1.5 m)
from the spa water. All electrical connections
should comply with article 680-D of the NEC.
EUROPEAN SPAS
The appliance should be supplied through
a residual current device (RCD) 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.
SPA SITE AND POSITIONING
Locate the spa on solid, level foundation or
ooring, keeping in mind the weight of the
lled spa in excess of 3,968lbs (1.800 kg) on
some models. If you have any doubts about
the load bearing ability of your chosen site,
contact an architect/building contractor. The
entire perimeter of the spa cabinet and spa
bottom must be evenly supported. If your
spa is installed outdoors, we recommend
you provide a concrete pad for the spa to
rest on 8ft x 8ft x 4in (2.5m x 2.5m x 10cm).
Failure to provide a level surface could
structurally damage your spa and void
the warranty. The spa must be installed to
allow access for service and maintenance on
all four sides; therefore, below grade level or
below deck installation is not
recommended.
OUTDOOR INSTALLATION, Consider
the following:
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. Distance to trees (twigs, leaves and shade).
7. Dressing and bathroom location.
8. Storage area for equipment and chemicals.
9. Location to facilitate adult supervision.
10. Landscaping and nighttime lighting.
11. Accessibility to equipment.
12. Power supply location and foot trac.
INDOOR INSTALLATION, Consider the
following:
1. Indoor spas promote high humidity. Using
ventilation fans or commercial grade de-
humidiers will help to reduce humidity.
2. Floor drains must be provided near the
spa to drain o water that may cause
falls and/or water damage.
3. Floor area should be at with a non-skid
nish. Carpeting is not recommended.
4. Walls/ceilings should be made of
materials able to withstand high humidity.
5. Floor load bearing capacities must be able
to support the concentrated spa weight.
6. Spas should be double checked for leaks
before installing to avoid possible water
damage. Dealer installation may include
this service.
7. Indoor sun rooms can maintain high
ambient temperatures which may eect
the spa water temperature. It is NOT
recommended that you operate your lter
cycles for longer than 4 hours per day
under these conditions.

8
Owner’s Manual
English
8. For units for use in other than single-family
dwellings, a clearly labeled emergency
switch shall be provided as part of the
installation. The switch shall be readily
accessible to the occupants and shall be
installed at least 5 feet (1.52 m) away,
adjacent to, and within sight of the unit.
THERMAL CREEP
Your spa is manufactured with energy-e-
cient components and systems that capture
heat generated by the equipment, then trans-
fer that heat back to the spa water. In warmer
weather or in situations with extended run
times, “Thermal Creep”may occur. Thermal
Creep is a condition whereby the actual water
temperature is higher than the set tempera-
ture. To manage “Thermal Creep”you may:
- Vent your cover. Newer covers have remov-
able center seal padding. To remove this pad-
ding, open the Velcro on one side of the vinyl
pouch and slide the white padding out. If
your spa does not have removable center seal
padding, you may instead place a folded cloth
about ¾” (2cm) thick under all four corners of
the cover before you lock it down. Opening
the cover at night will also quickly cool the
water down if desired.
- Open all air controls
- Set your ltration cycles to run during the
cooler times of the day or at night
- Reduce the length of your lter cycles
- Visit your local dealer for additional guidance
Thermal Creep only occurs in well-insulated
hot tubs. It is not an indication that something
is wrong with your spa or its equipment.
IMPORTANT: Proper drainage must be pro-
vided to keep base dry, especially if installed
below ground/in a pit.
Danger: Electrical shock risk. Install at least
5 feet (1.5m) from all metal surfaces

JETS AND AIR CONTROLS
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.
Swim Spa Jets
Swim spa 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-maassage.
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 to
ensure free movement, including the aurora
cascades jets.
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 REMOVE the smaller adjustable jet
insert, wear latex or rubber gloves. Turn
counterclockwise until you reach the stopping
point. Exert more pressure to turn past the
stopping point and as the jet ‘clicks’ pull the
insert toward the center of the spa. Gently pull
the jet insert from the housing.
• To CLEAN the jet insert and housing, use a
pressurized hose and spray the inside of the

12
Owner’s Manual
English
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.
AIR CONTROLS
The intensity of the jet action can be
controlled by altering the amount of air
injected with water through the jets. Your
spa has one or more air controls located on
the lip of the spa. Each control activates air to
specic jets in the spa allowing you to create
various combinations and levels of jet action
to suit individual preferences. Turn the control
counter-clockwise to turn the air o and
clockwise to turn air on.
NOTE: Air controls should be closed
during heating cycles for maximum
energy eciency.
NOTE: At the start of a ltration cycle, the
Optional Air System is activated to purge
the lines and ensure complete ltration.
Ensure that at least one air control is always
fully open.
NEVER SHUT ALL FULL SIZED
JETS OFF AT ONE TIME!

START UP PROCEDURES
Follow recommendations for site location
and electrical connection. 6” (15.5cm) below
the top lip of the spa is the level at which the
water should be maintained.
1. Fill the spa through the lter hole to 6”
(15.5cm) below the top of the spa with tap
water. Never use ‘softened’ water in
your spa. Softened water can impact the
chemical balance of the water and lead to
degradation of metal plumbing ttings
and possible jet plastic damage.
2. After you have assured that the spa/swim
spa is full of water and that all plumbing
valves are open, turn power on to unit 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 Spa (next column).
4. Add chemicals. See Chemical Treatment
and Water Maintenance section.
Follow Operating Insutructions for your
particular model to set heat to the desired
temperature. Initially, you may nd that
the spa requires 12 to 14 hours (18 to 24
hours for swim spas) on 230 Volt
installations to reach temperature. Keep
your thermal cover on the unit and close
the air controls to help the heating
process.
5. Verify all drain valves are closed, some are
under the spa.
PRIMING YOUR SPA
When lling your spa for the rst time or
after draining and relling the spa, you
may need to bleed air from the system.
Should you experience an air-lock on
Pump 1, remove the lter cover,
insert a garden hose through each center
hole that holds the lter as far as possible
without using force. Hold the hose in place
and turn on the water. Cycle pump 1 from low
to high several times, this forces water into the
pump and forces the air out. If this does not
work or you experience an air-lock on Pump 2,
remove the side panel and locate the pump.
With the pump on high speed, slowly loosen
the discharge (top) pump union until water
starts to trickle out. Once water is trickling out,
hand tighten the union (do not over tighten
as this could cause the union to crack) and
replace the side panel.
Pr - Prime/Purge Pumps
This is Not an Error Message.
The Spa has just been powered up and is in
Priming Mode for 4 Minutes. Pumps can be
turned ON and OFF to remove any air from
the plumbing lines and the Heater. Cycle the
pumps on and o to verify good water ow
and wait 4 minutes or press any temp related
button to exit Priming Mode.
Important: Do not operate the spa
without full water ow.
