IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:  
When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety  
precautions should always be followed, including:  
1) WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to  
use this spa unless they are closely supervised at all times.  
2) WARNING: A grounding wire connector is provided on this spa to  
connect a minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm2) solid copper conductor  
between this unit and any metal equipment, metal enclosures of  
electrical equipment, metal water pipe, or conduit within 5 feet (1.5  
m) of the spa.  
3) DANGER : Risk of Accidental Drowning. Extreme caution must be  
exercised to prevent unauthorized access by children. To avoid  
accidents, ensure that children cannot use this spa unless they are  
supervised at all times.  
4) DANGER : Risk of Injury. The suction fittings in 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.  
5) DANGER: Risk of Electric Shock. Install at least 5 FEET (1.5 m),  
from all metal surfaces. As an alternative, a spa may be installed  
within 5 feet of metal surfaces if each metal surface is permanently  
connected by a minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm2) solid copper  
conductor attached to the wire connector on the grounding lug,  
inside the equipment compartment on the equipment can.  
6) DANGER: Risk of Electric Shock. Do not permit any electrical  
appliance, such as a light, telephone, radio, television, etc. within 5  
feet of a spa.

7) ELECTRICAL SUPPLY: The electrical supply for this spa must  
include a suitably rated switch or circuit breaker to open all  
ungrounded supply conductors to comply with section 680-42 of the  
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1993. The disconnect must  
be readily accessible and visible to the spa occupant but installed at  
least 5 feet (1.5 m), from the spa water.  
8) WARNING: To Reduce the Risk of Injury:  
a) The water in a 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 young children and when spa use exceeds 10  
minutes.  
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 water  
temperatures to 100° F (38° C).  
c) Before entering a spa, the user should measure the water  
temperature with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of  
water temperature-regulating devices may vary as much as +/- 5°  
F (2° C).  
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, circulatory 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.

CAUTIONS  
1) Persons suffering from heart disease, diabetes, high or low blood  
pressure, any condition requiring medical treatment, pregnant  
women, the elderly, or infants should consult with a physician before  
using a spa.  
2) The consumer products safety commission has stated that the water  
temperature in a spa or hot tub should not exceed  
104° F. Immersion in water in excess of 104° F can be hazardous to  
your health.  
3) Observe a reasonable time limit when using the spa. Long exposures  
at higher temperatures can cause high body temperature. Symptoms  
may include dizziness, nausea, fainting, drowsiness, and reduced  
awareness. These effects could result in possible drowning.

2000 Owners Manual  
4) Do not use the spa under the influence of alcohol, narcotics, or other  
drugs. Use of the spa under these conditions may lead to serious  
consequences.  
5) Always test the spa water temperature before entering the spa. Enter  
and exit the spa slowly. Wet surfaces can be very slippery.  
6) Never bring any electrical appliances into or near the spa. Never  
operate any electrical appliances from inside the spa or when you are  
wet.  
7) Proper chemical maintenance of spa water is necessary to maintain  
safe water and prevent possible damage to spa components.  
8) Use the spa straps and clip tie downs to secure the cover when not in  
use. This will help to discourage unsupervised children from entering  
the spa and keep the spa cover secure in high-wind conditions.  
There is no representation that the cover, clip tie downs, or actual  
locks will prevent access to the spa.  
DOS AND DON’TS  
• DO test water temperature with your hand before entering to be sure  
that its comfortable.  
• DO keep the spa cover closed when the spa is not in use. This is also  
the key to economical spa operation.  
• DONT block the equipment compartment vents. Blockage may  
cause damage to the spa equipment and will void the warranty.  
• DONT block or sit on the filter recess area.

JET SYSTEM SELECTOR VALVE  
All spas are equipped with spaside Selector Valves. These valves can be  
used to divert jet power from one area within the spa to another. The  
valves are fully adjustable and can be used to suit the bathers taste. The  
valves may offer some resistance to operation when the spa pump is on.  
This is a normal condition, and is caused by the high rate of water flow  
and pressure that travels through the valves.  
JET OPTIONS  
Dimension One Spas jetting systems provide complete flexibility in per-  
sonalizing hydrotherapy sessions. The Variable Circulation Rotatorjet  
allows you to adjust the flow and pressure of the jet for each specific  
muscle group. The Typhoon foot jet located in the bottom of the  
footwell of most models offers up to 100 GPM of soft, controllable flow.  
Contact your local Authorized Dimension One Spas Dealer for more  
information on the availability of optional jet styles.

NECKFLEX JET PILLOW  
The NeckFlex Jet Pillow offers five height adjustable positions to accom-  
modate different body sizes. The standard mini directional jets can be  
interchanged with rotating jets and are adjustable for water volume. See  
your local Authorized Dimension One Spas Dealer for more information.  
ULTRA PURE WATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM  
The Chairman II, Diplomat, Chairman, Californian, Nautilus, Aurora II  
and Triad II are equipped with a highly advanced spa water treatment  
method, the Ultra Pure Water Management System. Ultra Pure is an  
integrated water management system with two-stages of ozone injection,  
two contact chambers, 100% filtration, and heating on demand.  
CRYSTAL ZONE WATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM  
Specifically engineered for Dimension One spas, the CrystalZone Water  
Management System provides an integrated ozone purification and filtra-  
tion for spas that do not include the patented, Ultra Pure Water  
Management System. It even maintains the pre-set spa temperature,  
without the use of a jet pump. Using a Mazzei-T ozone injector and a  
specially designed contact chamber, the CrystalZone Water Management  
System provides cleaner water at lower operating costs. Youll spend  
more time enjoying your spa and less time maintaining it. Ask your  
Authorized Dimension One Spas Dealer for more information.  
VISION SYSTEMS  
The Ultra Pure and CrystalZone Water Management Systems can be  
used in conjunction with Vision, an alternative purification cartridge  
that can be added to the 5” filter canister. In use, its advantages over  
conventional halogens (bromine and chlorine) can be softer-feeling  
water and lower maintenance. Additionally, low chemical levels can  
also mean less dissolved solids and fewer maintenance adjustments.  
How Vision Works: The Vision purification cartridge, which has no  
moving parts and requires no electrical connections, contains a powerful,  
silver catalyst bed with a very large surface area. In the Ultra Pure sys-  
tem, water flows through the purification cartridge, then through the  
dedicated, 75 sq. ft. filter, and then through a heater housing before

being ozonated and returned to the spa. During the process, the Silver  
(Ag) residual is put into the water, which acts as a bactericide. When  
used in the Ultra Pure or CrystalZone Water Management Systems,  
Vision provides a natural, residual bactericide which compliments the  
ozone oxidizing power. After excessive bather loads, however, an addi-  
tional oxidizer may be required to remove accumulated organic com-  
pounds. Be sure to carefully follow the included instructions for proper  
use - DO NOT follow the standard water chemistry start-up procedures  
contained in this manual and do not use a metal sequesterant in combi-  
nation with Vision or add any Vision product to your spa within 72  
hours of the addition of a metal sequesterant.  
WARNING: While Vision is a bactericide which can be safely used as  
an alternative for conventional halogens, it is not a “chemical free” sys-  
tem. In order to gain the maximum benefits of Vision products, follow  
the manufacturers directions. All other aspects and adjustments of  
water chemistry such as pH and total alkalinity must adhere to the man-  
ufacturers instructions relative to that specific product. As Dimension  
One Spas has no control over the water source used in any spa applica-  
tion, it will not be responsible for any staining below the water line and  
any such occurrence will not be covered under any of its warranties.  
HEATER AND CIRCULATION PUMP CONTROL  
On all Dimension One Spas, when the water temperature is 1˚ below the  
set temperature the heater will turn on and remain on until the water  
temperature rises to 1˚ above the set temperature. On models that do  
not have circulation pumps (Aurora HP, Interlude, Arena, and Triad  
without the CrystalZone Water Management System) the low speed  
pump will turn on during the heating cycle.  
On models with Ultra Pure (Chairman II, Chairman, Diplomat,  
Californian, Nautilus, Aurora II and Triad II) and models with the  
Crystal Zone Water Management System: To prevent the spa from over-  
heating, the circulation pump turns off when the water temperature rises  
2˚ above the set temperature. When the water temperature cools down  
to the set temperature, the circulation pump will turn on.  
NOTE: The circulation pump will run for short periods when the water  
temperature is 2˚ above set temperature to provide optimum operation.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR SPA  
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO HOOK-UP OR USE YOUR SPA,  
PLEASE READ THROUGH THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND  
CAREFULLY VIEW YOUR VIDEO OWNERS MANUAL.  
POSITIONING YOUR SPA  
Because your spa is completely self-contained, you can locate it just  
about anywhere you wish... on a deck, patio or even indoors. Just be sure  
to position it above ground, in an area with good drainage, and on a  
level, continuous surface that contacts the bottom of the spa fully. A  
concrete slab is best but not required. Locate your spa so that the equip-  
ment is above grade and not subject to flooding. WATER SHOULD  
ALWAYS DRAIN A WAY FROM THE SPA.  
SAFETY DEVICES  
Your spa is equipped with the following safety features:  
1) A water flow sensor that prevents the heater from activating unless  
there is sufficient water flow, thus preventing “dry firing” of the  
heater.  
2) Automatic spa shutdown timers that shut off the spa jet pump after  
30 minutes of operation. The Chairman II, Diplomat, Chairman,  
Californian, Nautilus, Aurora II and Triad II can be programmed to  
shut off after longer intervals (I.E. 45, 60 minutes). The spa light  
automatically shuts off after 1 hour.  
3) An electronic high limit switch that automatically shuts off the  
heater if the spa water temperature exceeds 112˚ F.  
4) An automatic freeze sensor which puts the spa into Smart Winter  
Mode’ if the air temperature in the equipment bay drops below a facto-  
ry preset level. In ‘Smart Winter Mode, your spa will start the jets for 1  
minute, at high speed, every two hours, for 24 hours.

ELECTRICAL REQU IREMENTS AND  
HOOK-UP INSTRUCTIONS  
ELECTRICAL HOOK -UP INSTRUCTIONS  
NOTE: Do not turn on electrical power to your spa until told to do  
so later in this manual.  
Have a licensed electrician run the required 240 volt power line to the  
spa installation site. The power inlet connection is located in the  
pedestal on the left side of the spa, approximately 25” from the front.  
This connection is designed to mate with a Carlon 1” conduit body Type  
LB, Access Fitting E986F or any 1” female PVC conduit fitting.  
The manufacturers label lists the power requirements for your spa. We  
recommend that only a licensed and bonded electrician do the initial spa  
hook-up.  
NOTE: This unit requires a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit  
Interrupter). We have provided an enclosed instructional flyer for a  
licensed electrician. A “line of sight” service disconnect must be located  
where visible from the spa, not less than 5 feet from the spa and not to  
exceed 50 feet from the spa. This requirement may be filled with the  
GFCI sub-panel.  
NOTE: All supply wire to be rated minimum 90˚ C.

INITIAL START-UP FOR THE  
AURORA HP , INTERLUDE, ARENA  
AND TRIAD  
1) Before filling your spa, install the hose bib that is included in the  
owners manual packet located in the equipment compartment.  
Screw the hose bib onto the male fitting located at the bottom of the  
spa on the pedestal, to the lower left of the equipment compartment.  
Close the valve on the side of the hose bib and screw the cap onto  
the end of the hose bib.  
2) Check the pump unions to be sure that they are tight to prevent the  
possibility of leakage in the equipment compartment. Also, open the  
bleeder valve located next to the sidewall of the skimmer area to  
allow air to escape from the pump(s).  
3) Fill your spa with water to a level of one to two inches above the  
bottom of the tile line.  
4) Remove the two shipping bolts located on the front of the pump  
mount and ensure that the gate valves on the pump are in the open  
position (handles fully extended).  
5) Turn on the circuit breaker. Dashed lines will appear for 30 seconds  
on the LCD followed by the current water temperature flashing.  
Press the UP or DOWN pads to set your desired spa temperature. If  
your spa is equipped with the CrystalZone Water Management  
System and there is a call for heat, the circulation pump will then  
activate and turn on the heater. If CrystalZone is not installed, and  
there is a call for heat, the low speed pump will come on with the  
heater. One minute after start-up, the internal time clock is auto-  
matically set to initiate the first filtration cycle. The system factory  
default is two, one hour cycles. Let the system run for 30 to 45 sec-  
onds to prime the pump(s). If there is no jet action, then the water  
level is too low, the gate valves are closed or there is air trapped in  
the plumbing lines. To eliminate the trapped air, turn the pump(s)  
on and off several times to force the trapped air through the pump(s).  
If there is still no jet action, and the bleeder valve has been open for  
some time, turn off the pump(s) and loosen the top pump union  
slightly to let any trapped air escape. Re-tighten the pump union

and turn the pump(s) on again. Turn the pump(s) on and off several  
times until the jets function properly.  
6) When the jets are in full operation, close the bleeder valve and push  
the UP pad until the desired spa temperature is indicated on the dis-  
play screen. (The maximum settable temperature is 104˚, OR5 or  
OR6.)  
NOTE: While setting the temperature the LCD display will read  
out the temperature up to 104˚ F. When the temperature exceeds  
104˚ F, the display will read in “over-range” figures. I.E. At 105˚ F  
the temperature will read “OR5” and at 106˚ F the temperature will  
read “OR6”. Water temperatures in excess of 104˚ F should be  
used with extreme caution.  
NOTE: On initial start-up, you can confirm that the heater is on by  
looking to see that the heat LED indicator, located on the right side  
of the upper control panel, is illuminated. The heater icon on the  
LCD and the heat indicator LED on the display will blink when  
there is a call for heat and will come on solid when the heater is  
actually on. Once you have verified that the heater is functioning,  
you can reinstall the ventilated equipment access panel.  
7) Depending upon the size of your spa and the size of the circuit break-  
er used, heating will occur at the rate of 3-10˚ F per hour.  
8) After completing the above steps, it is necessary to ensure proper  
water chemistry. See the Water Chemistry section in this manual,  
for the easy steps to maintaining clean and safe water. The schedule  
shown may require more frequent adjustment depending on the  
bather load.  
9) Place the thermal cover on the spa to conserve energy and to keep it  
ready for use.

THE PROGRAMMABLE DIGITAL  
CONTROL  
Advanced microprocessor technology has been utilized to produce the  
Programmable Digital Control. Easy to use and understand, Dimension  
One Spas has put every spa function within fingertip control.  
Temperature setting, jet power control, and the spa light are all spaside  
accessible. That means you dont have to get out of the spa to enjoy  
complete control of all spa functions. Safety is assured through design  
concepts and materials, which meet or exceed the most stringent  
requirements of Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and the Canadian  
Standards Association (CSA). The Programmable Digital Control lets  
you relax and enjoy everything your spa has to offer.  
HOW TO USE THE PROGRAMMABLE DIGITAL  
CONTROL  
JETS LOW/HIGH CONTROL PAD  
When the JETS control pad is pushed, the spa jet pump is energized and  
the respective ICON and LED indicator light will be illuminated. Each  
time the JETS pad is pushed it will activate a 30 minute automatic shut-  
off cycle. This auto shut-off cycle is a safety device and also allows for  
convenient filtration immediately after using the spa. The first time a  
JETS control pad is pushed the pump will energize on LOW speed.  
When the same control pad is pushed again, the pump will energize on  
HIGH speed. The third time the same control pad is pushed, the pump  
will turn off.  
NOTE: Pushing the JETS pad will disable any concurrent filter cycle.

INITIAL START-UP FOR THE  
CHAIRMAN II, DIPLOMAT, CHAIR -  
MAN, CALIFORNIAN, NAUTILUS,  
TRIAD II AND AURORA II  
1) Before filling your spa, install the black plastic hose bib that is  
included in the owners manual packet located in the equipment  
compartment. Screw it onto the male fitting at the bottom of the  
spa on the pedestal, to the lower left of the equipment compartment.  
Close the valve and screw the cap onto the end of the bib.  
2) Check the pump unions to be sure that they are tight to prevent the  
possibility of leakage in the equipment compartment. Also, open  
both bleeder valves located in the skimmer area.  
3) Fill your spa with water to a level of one to two inches above the  
bottom of the tile line.  
4) Remove the two shipping bolts located on the front of the pump  
mount and ensure that the gate valves on the pump are in the open  
position (handles fully extended).  
5) Turn on the circuit breaker. Dashed lines will appear in the LCD for  
30 seconds. After this 30 second diagnostic check, the ozone genera-  
tor and circulation pump will come on.  
6) Push the JETS 1 and 2 pad to turn both pumps onto high speed. Let  
the system run for 30 to 45 seconds to prime the pumps. If there is  
no jet action, then the water level is too low or there is air trapped in  
the plumbing lines. To eliminate the trapped air, turn the pumps on  
and off several times to force the trapped air through the pumps. If  
there is still no jet action, and the bleeder valves have been open for  
some time, turn off the pumps and loosen the top pump unions  
slightly to let any trapped air escape. Re-tighten the pump unions  
and turn the pumps on again. Turn the pumps on and off several  
times until jets function properly.

WATER CHEMISTRY  
Maintaining proper water chemistry is imperative to maintaining safe  
water and preventing possible damage to your spa components.  
START-UP PROCEDURES:  
NOTE: If using Vision systems, disregard the steps listed below and fol-  
low the start-up procedures in the instructions located in the box with  
the Vision cartridge.  
1) Add stain and scale control, or a sequestrant.  
2) Test and adjust Total Alkalinity. Run the pump for 1 hour at high  
speed.  
3) Test and adjust pH. Run the pump for 1 hour at high speed.  
4) Add Sanitizer:  
a) Add 2oz. packet of Bromo Shock  
OR  
b) Add 2oz. packet of Chlorine  
5) Fill and set Adjustable Bromine Feeder and place it in the weir skim-  
mer basket.  
6) On the following day, shock water with shock treatment with jets  
running. (Wait at least 20 minutes before entering the spa.)  
7) Add enzyme remover (you may wish to add clarifier the following  
day, as the introduction of sequestrant with enzyme remover may  
temporarily cloud the water).  
8) Run the pump for 1 hour at high speed.  
WATER QUALITY  
Your Dimension One spa is equipped with a cartridge filter system.  
Filtering the water helps maintain water cleanliness and clarity. While  
the filter traps most solid materials, it is still necessary to add a sanitizer  
such as chlorine or bromine to the water in order to control bacteria,  
algae, and to oxidize any organic materials in the water.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
37  
2000 Owners Manual  
We strongly recommend that you buy your chemicals from your local  
Authorized Dimension One Spas dealer. Your local Authorized dealer  
can also advise you on alternative methods for water sanitation.  
Discount store chemicals, while sometimes less expensive, are not always  
the proper strength or type for your spa. Use of the wrong chemicals can  
be dangerous and may void the warranty on your spa.  
WATER TESTING  
It is recommended that you test your spa water regularly with an accu-  
rate test kit or test strips. These are available from your local Authorized  
Dimension One Spas dealer. Also, be sure to follow manufacturers  
instructions for chemical use.  
PH CONTROL  
All water solutions have pH, which is a measure of the active acidity in  
the water. While a pH reading of 7.0 is considered neutral, a lower read-  
ing is considered acidic and a higher reading is basic. The proper pH for  
spa water is between 7.4 and 7.6. High pH (above 7.6) can reduce sani-  
tizer efficiency, cloud the water, promote scale formation on surfaces and  
equipment, and interfere with filter operations. When pH is too high,  
add a pH/TA decreaser. Low pH (below 7.2) is equally damaging and  
can cause equipment corrosion, water that is irritating, and rapid sanitiz-  
er dissipation. Add pH/TAincreaser to adjust the level.  
NOTE: Never add more than 1/2 oz. of pH adjuster per 500 gallons of  
water. Always add adjuster with jets operating and circulate all chemi-  
cals for at least 30 minutes. Remember that good pH control and saniti-  
zation are absolutely essential for proper spa water treatment.  
SANITIZER  
The importance of maintaining an adequate level of sanitizer in your spa  
cannot be overemphasized. Warm water presents a fertile environment  
for the growth of bacteria and virus. This growth is prevented when ade-  
quate sanitizer levels are continuously maintained.  
***WARNING***  
Sanitizers such as Tri-chlor (tablets or sticks), calcium hypochlorite,  
sodium hypochlorite, and any chemical which dissolves on or remains  
undissolved in contact with the spa surface will damage your spa and will  
void the warranty completely.

2000 Owners Manual  
BROMINE (BROMINE CANNOT BE USED WITH THE VISION  
SYSTEMS)  
Bromine is the most common sanitizer used in spas. Bacteria can be  
controlled by maintaining a proper total bromine level of 3.0 to 5.0 ppm.  
Brominating tablets are a convenient and effective source of bromine for  
your spa. Do not drop bromine tablets directly into the water as this  
may damage the spa surface. A bromine “floater” will safely and properly  
dispense the tablets for you or you may purchase the Dimension One  
Spas Adjustable Bromine Feeder from your local Authorized Dimension  
One Spas dealer. When used properly, brominating tablets will keep  
your water clean, clear, and odor free. To ensure maximum effectiveness,  
add a 1/2 ounce of sodium bromide per 100 gallons of water every time  
you fill your spa. This will establish a bromine reserve.  
CHLORINE  
Chlorine can also be used as a water sanitizer, however, it is highly sensi-  
tive to pH. To be effective, you must have a spa pH range of 7.4 - 7.6.  
Any reading outside this range will greatly reduce the chlorines effec-  
tiveness.  
Use your chlorine test kit or test strips to maintain a reading of 1.0 - 3.0  
parts per million (ppm) of free chlorine. If the reading is below 1 ppm,  
the level should be raised before the spa is used. If the reading is above 3  
ppm, it should be allowed to drop to the proper range before use. Read  
the instructions on your chlorine container carefully, or consult your  
local Authorized Dimension One Spas dealer if you are having difficulty  
adjusting your chlorine level.  
The best chlorine for your spa is a granular “Dichlor” compound. It dis-  
solves quickly in moving water and has a nearly neutral pH. Add chlo-  
rine while the jets are running and let the jet system run for 1/2 hour.  
Generally, heavily contaminated water can be disinfected using large  
chlorine doses, in the range of 8 - 10 ppm, but a more practical method  
is to drain the spa and refill it with fresh water.  
The effectiveness of chlorine is decreased when the cover is left off the  
spa for two reasons: (1) sunlight decays chlorine rapidly and (2) organic  
debris blown into the spa taxes the effectiveness of the chlorine. In  
addition, the higher the water temperature, the faster chlorine will  
decay.

39  
2000 Owners Manual  
NOTE: Two individuals in a spa may use as much as 3 ppm of chlorine  
in 20 minutes.  
SHOCK TREATMENT (POTASSIUM PEROXYMONOSULFATE)  
Even with regular sanitization, shock treatment may be necessary on  
occasion. Shock treatment is recommended over Super Chlorination  
because it does not add additional sanitizer to the water. It is also effec-  
tive in oxidizing wastes and will reduce chloramines or bromamines.  
Follow the manufacturers instructions listed on the label.  
SUPER CHLORINATION  
Super chlorination (or chlorine shock treatment), quickly oxidizes the  
spa water to burn out wastes such as perspiration, hair spray, lotions, etc.  
that cannot be removed by the spa filter. This waste build up reduces  
the power of the sanitizer, making the water dull and irritating to the  
eyes and skin. It may also produce an odor. When this occurs, the “free”  
chlorine has become a “chloramine” which is ineffective for sanitizing.  
This can be eliminated by super chlorinating as needed. An application  
of 5 times the normal chlorine dosage will act as an adequate treatment.  
ENZYME REMOVER  
Some wastes left in the spa water may not be filterable and can result in  
cloudy, dull water. Using an enzyme remover whenever you fill your spa  
and then weekly thereafter will help keep your water clear. A enzyme  
remover will attract small particles and form larger ones that will become  
big enough to get trapped in the filter.  
NOTE: Cloudy water may also be caused by high pH.  
STAIN AND SCALE INHIBITOR (SEQUESTERING AGENTS  
FOR CONTROLLING STAINS AND SCALE) (Stain and scale  
inhibitors cannot be used with the Vision systems.)  
Staining and scaling are common problems in spas. Because the water is  
hot, scale is deposited more rapidly. The circulation of water can cause  
the erosion of metals from spa equipment which can then stain interior  
surfaces. A weekly dose of a stain and scale fighter will help control  
these problems. A sequestering agent, such as Metal Gon, should always  
be added to the spa water when filling a spa (for the first time or when

2000 Owners Manual  
draining and refilling). This will suspend any metals in your water and  
increase the life of your spa equipment.  
TOTAL ALKALINITY  
Total Alkalinity is the amount of Carbonate, Bicarbonate and Hydroxyl  
ions in the water. TA (total alkalinity) affects and buffers the pH of the  
water. With high TA above 150, pH resists adjustment. With low TA  
below 120, pH is unstable and difficult to keep in the ideal range.  
Proper TA levels allow other chemicals to work at their optimum.  
FOAM REMOVER  
Soap residue from a bathers body, hair, and swimsuit combined with  
rapid circulation of spa water may eventually cause foaming in your spa.  
Dimension One Spas Foam Inhibitor will suppress foam but cannot  
remove soap from water. When foaming occurs, squirt a small amount of  
Dimension One Spas foam remover to base of foam area. Use only the  
amount necessary to remove the foam. If foam remains a problem,  
change the water.

CARE FOR YOUR SPA  
DRAINING YOUR SPA  
All Dimension One spas are gravity drained. Do not drain water onto  
your lawn or plants unless all of the bromine or chlorine has dissipated  
from the spa water. The sanitizer in your spa water can be dissipated  
very quickly by leaving the spa cover off and exposing the water to direct  
sunlight. Drain and replace your spa water every three to four months.  
For heavy spa use, you may wish to change the water more frequently.  
To drain your spa:  
1) Turn off all power to the spa.  
2) Attach a hose to the hose bib at the bottom of the spa on the  
pedestal to the left of the equipment compartment (or you can place  
a hose directly in the spa and gravity drain by the siphon method).  
Open the valve and allow the water to drain away from the spa.  
3) Clean the spa surface (see CARE FOR THE SPA SURFACE later in  
this chapter).  
4) Refill the spa and restore power. Follow the Initial Start-up proce-  
dures for your model to reheat the spa.  
FILTER CLEANING  
Always turn the spa off before cleaning the filter elements. Your spa is  
equipped with one or two top access filter cartridges. We recommend  
that you clean the filters every month, as preventative maintenance.  
To clean the skimmer filter cartridge, remove the access lid covering the  
filter area. Lift the center float of the skimmer assembly until it is fully  
extended. Hold the center piece of the assembly and turn it counter  
clockwise until the flats of the basket are aligned with the securing tabs.  
Then pull the basket assembly straight up to remove it. Next, remove  
the E-Z Lock Filter cartridge by twisting the cartridge 1/4 turn counter-  
clockwise to its stop. (Be careful not to overturn the filter) Then lift the  
filter out of its canister. Clean the cartridge with a high pressure garden  
hose. Every other cleaning, soak the cartridge in a filter cleaning solu-  
tion, then rinse it thoroughly, and reinstall. Replace the skimmer basket

2000 Owners Manual  
assembly and the access lid or cover. After cleaning, run the pump for a  
few minutes at high speed, then return to the heating mode.  
To clean the Ultra Pure filter cartridge for those spas with Ultra Pure,  
remove the acces lid and remove the E-Z Lock Filter cartridge by twist-  
ing the cartridge 1/4 turn counterclockwise to its stop. Then lift the filter  
out of its canister.. Clean the cartridge with a high pressure garden hose.  
Every other cleaning, soak the cartridge in Dimension One Spas  
Cartridge Cleaner, then rinse it thoroughly, and reinstall. Replace the  
access lid or cover.  
LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT  
All spas are equipped with a 12 volt light using a GE912 bulb. To  
change the bulb, turn the power off and drain the spa below the level of  
the spa light. Using the special tool provided in the owners manual  
packet, unscrew the cover for the light housing. Remove the old bulb  
and install the new bulb. Screw the cover for the light housing back  
into the female receptacle. Check to ensure proper operation of the new  
bulb before refilling the spa.  
NOTE:  
1) Do not attempt to remove the light housing cover without the special  
tool. If you are not able to locate it, contact the Dimension One  
Spas Service Department to have one sent.  
2) Be sure the O-ring is not damaged and is properly in place when  
replacing the lens. Contact Dimension One Spas if a replacement  
O-ring is needed.  
CARE FOR THE SPA SURFACE - ULTRALIFE  
Your UltraLife spa has a very high quality finish. Stains and dirt will  
generally not adhere to the surface. Cleaning of the surface should be  
done with baking soda or Soft Scrub. Be careful when using detergents  
not to leave soap residue on the spa shell as this will cause suds build up  
in the spa water and youll find yourself changing the water more fre-  
quently than should be necessary.  
CARE FOR THE SPA SURFACE - QUARITE PLUS  
Your Quarite Plus spa has a very high quality finish. Stains and dirt will  
generally not adhere to the surface. Cleaning of the Quarite Plus surface  
should be done with an acrylic surface cleaning solution. Your local

43  
2000 Owners Manual  
Authorized Dimension One Dealer can recommend a good product for  
this use. Be careful when using detergents not to leave soap residue on  
the spa shell as this will cause suds build up in your spa water and youll  
find yourself changing the water more frequently than should be neces-  
sary.  
CAUTION: Do not use “409” type cleaners or other caustic solutions  
as they may damage the spa shell surface and void the warranty. If you  
are using baking soda to clean your spa shell, be careful not to get it on  
the skirt. It may bleach the wood.  
CARE FOR THE SPA CABINET  
When properly cared for, the wood cabinet of your spa will maintain its  
beauty for many years. All woods react to the elements differently by  
expanding and contracting. Re-stain the wood every 3-6 months, to  
thoroughly protect it. Redwood’ or Coastal Gray’ stain, available from  
your local Dimension One Spas Dealer serves as a good sealing agent for  
the wood. Please note that the cabinet is not warranted against reaction  
to natural weather conditions. The wood must be properly maintained.  
CARE FOR THE SPA COVER  
The thermal cover for your spa is an extremely durable foam insulated  
product. See the manufacturers literature for proper cleaning instruc-  
tions. When the spa is not in use, it is recommended that the cover tie  
downs always be utilized to discourage unsupervised children and mini-  
mize heat loss. Small locks are also available for the cover tie downs. In  
either case, these locking methods are not considered adequate to keep  
unauthorized people from entering the spa.  
SPECIAL COLD WEATHER INSTRUCTIONS  
Winter is one of the best times of the year to enjoy the warmth of your  
spa. Your Dimension One spa is 100% fully foam insulated and will not  
cost significantly more to operate in the winter than any other time of  
year. Because it is very difficult to get all the water out of the plumbing  
lines, we do not recommend draining your spa for the winter. However,  
if you dont plan to use your spa during the winter, we recommend you  
winterize it as follows:  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
44  
2000 Owners Manual  
If you decide to drain the spa, drain it as completely as possible. You  
may wish to tilt the spa on edge and use a wet-vac or high pressure blow-  
er to evacuate as much water as possible. This will require additional  
people. Try to get as much water out of the plumbing lines and equip-  
ment as possible. If you want to use the spa water on surrounding vege-  
tation, make sure that it is free of sanitizers.  
When the spa is completely drained, leave the hose bib open and open  
the pump drain valve located on the bottom front side of the pump.  
Also, loosen all pump unions and fittings to allow air and water to  
expand freely within the system. This should prevent water freezing  
expansion from damaging pipes and fittings. The key is to eliminate any  
sealed areas in the systems that may contain water.  
If you receive heavy snowfall during winter months, you may want to  
build a cover cap for the spa cover. This can be done with a 1/2” to 3/4”  
thick piece of plywood and a few supporting 2” X 4” cross members.  
CAUTION: Your spa is equipped with automatic freeze protection.  
However, power outages can cause your spa equipment system to freeze  
quickly. During freezing conditions, check your spa frequently to ensure  
proper operation. Always check your spa after any power failure to  
ensure that it is operational. Draining and not operating your spa dis-  
ables this feature.  
For additional information about winterizing your spa, please contact  
your local Authorized Dimension One Spas dealer.  
WARRANTY SERVICE INFORMATION

1) Equipment failure due to improper/inadequate electrical service. All  
systems require dedicated circuits as described in this manual. Low  
voltage can cause equipment failure and seriously shorten equipment  
life. It is the owners responsibility to ensure proper electrical service  
is available.  
2) Failure of spa to reach desired temperature because the set tempera-  
ture is not turned up high enough. Maximum thermostat setting is  
approximately 106˚ F.  
3) Burned out spa light. Bulbs are not covered.  
4) Spa water chemistry is the responsibility of the spa owner. Cloudy,  
dirty or chemically unbalanced water and cleaning of the spa filter  
are also the responsibility of the spa owner.  
5) Spa shell or equipment damage caused by improper water mainte-  
nance. Serious damage can be caused if your spa water is not main-  
tained carefully and correctly.  
6) Poor jet action because the jet Selector valve is in the middle posi-  
tion. For full performance, turn the jet Selector valve to either the  
full clockwise or full counterclockwise position.  
WARNING: Do not block air intakes located on the front left cor-  
ner underneath the spa (the front right corner for the Chairman II  
and Triad II) and under the equipment access panel. Resulting mal-  
functions are not covered under warranty.
