IMPORTA N T SA FETY IN STRUCTION S
READ AND FO LLO W ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
When installing and using this equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including:
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.
Danger
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.
W arning
Risk of Serious Injury or Death. 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.
Danger
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.
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.
Danger
Risk of Electric Shock. Do not permit any electrical appliance, such as a light, telephone, radio,
television, etc. within 5 feet (1.5 m) of a spa.
Danger
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.
Danger
To Reduce the Risk of Injury: 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.
W arning
To Reduce the Risk of Injury:
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).
W arning
To Reduce the Risk of Injury:
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).

To Reduce the Risk of Injury:
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.
To Reduce the Risk of Injury:
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.
Do not attempt to remove the light housing cover without lowering the water level below the light
housing cover.

corner for the Chairman II and Triad II) and under the equipment access panel. Resulting
malfunctions are not covered under warranty.
W arning
H yp e r t h e r m ia
Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia. A description of the causes, symptoms, and effects of
hyperthermia are as follows: Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level
several degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6° F, or 37° C. The symptoms of hyperthermia include
dizziness, drowsiness, lethargy, and fainting. The effects of hyperthermia include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Failure to perceive heat,
Failure to recognize the need to exit spa,
Unawareness of impending hazard,
Fetal damage in pregnant women,
Physical inability to exit spa,
Unconsciousness resulting in the danger of drowning.
The use of alcohol or drugs can greatly increase the risk of fatal hypothermia in hot tubs and spas.
W arning
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.
Caution
The consumer products safety commission has stated that the water temperature in a spa or hot
tub should not exceed 104° F (40° C). Immersion in water in excess of 104° F (40° C) can be
hazardous to your health.
Caution

NeckFlex Jet Pillow
The NeckFlex Jet Pillow, Figure 2, offers five height adjustable positions to accommodate 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 for more information.
Figure 2. NeckFlex Jet Pillow
Ultra Pure W ater Managem ent System
The Chairman II, Caliente HP, Diplomat, Chairman, Californian, Nautilus, Aurora II, Aurora XLT and Triad II are
equipped with a highly advanced hot tub water treatment method, the Ultra Pure Water Management System.
Ultra Pure is an integrated water management system with ozone injection, a contact chamber, 100% filtration, and
heating on demand.
CrystalZone W ater Managem ent System
Specifically engineered for Dimension One spas, the CrystalZone Water Management System found in the Arena,
Triad, Caliente, and optionally on the Aurora HP, provides an integrated ozone purification and filtration for hot
tubs. It maintains the pre-set hot tub temperature, without the use of a jet pump. Using a Mazzei-T ozone injector,
the CrystalZone Water Management System provides cleaner water at lower operating costs. You’ll spend more
time enjoying your hot tub and less time maintaining it.
Vision System s
Vision Cartridge, an alternative purification system, can be used in conjunction with your Ultra Pure or
CrystalZone Water Management Systems. The advantage of Vision over conventional halogens (bromine and
chlorine) is that it will, as a result of lower chemical use, provide softer-feeling water. Additionally, low chemical
levels can mean fewer dissolved solids, which results in less water chemistry maintenance. Please refer to the
Vision instructions for proper installation. Also read Water Care section for more information.
Heater and Circulation Pum p Control
On all Dimension One Spas, when the water temperature is 1° F (0.55° C) below the set temperature the heater
will turn on and remain on until the water temperature rises to 1° F (0.55° C) above the set temperature. To
prevent the hot tub from overheating, the circulation pump turns off when the water temperature rises 2° F (1.1°
C) above the set temperature. When the water temperature cools down to the set temperature, the circulation
pump will turn on.
The circulation pump will run for short periods when the water temperature is 2° F (1.1° C)
above set temperature to provide optimum operation. (The circulation pump is optional on the
Aurora HP.)
Note
Sm art Heat (Available only on Dim ension O ne Spas)
Smart Heat optimizes heat recovery using the amperage that you have available. Along with computerized load
sharing, that automatically recognizes the number of jet pumps in use, compares it with the available power, Smart
Heat recognizes the difference between the set temperature and the actual water temperature, and adjusts the
heater to optimize the heater output.

Digital Display Messages
The following messages may appear in the Digital Display:
“OH” – Overheat Protection
When “OH” is displayed on the control system Digital Display, the hot tub is in a high temperature condition. If
such a condition exists, check water temperature and if it is above 104° F (40° C), DO NO T ENTER THE
W ATER. If this happens, remove the hot tub cover and allow the water to cool below 110° F (43.3° C). Reset
the power to the spa by resetting the GFCI breaker. If the problem recurs, turn off all power to the hot tub and
contact your local Authorized Dimension One Spas Dealer, or authorized service center.
Flashing LED on the Control Panel
If you see 3 flashing LEDs on the Digital Display, check the water temperature and if it is above 104° F (40°C) DO
NO T ENTER THE W ATER. The system has detected a problem. Check the Digital Display and if it is
displaying the “OH” symbol, contact your local Authorized Dimension One Spas Dealer, or authorized service
center. If the Digital Display is displaying the temperature, check the water level and clean the filters. If the
problem persists, reset the power to the spa by resetting the GFCI breaker. If the error is not resolved after
resetting the spa, contact your local Authorized Dimension One Spas Dealer, or authorized service center.
Flashing Temperature on the Display
If you see a flashing temperature of 34° F (-16.6° C) or 134° F (56.6°C), DO NOT ENTER THE WATER. The
system has detected a problem. Contact your local Authorized Dimension One Spas Dealer, or authorized service
center.
Summer Mode
The “SUMMER MODE” feature temporarily disables the circulation pump “Cool Off” cycle. During hot weather
the spa can experience “Heat Creep”. Heat creep is caused when the spa, during normal maintenance operations,
cannot dissipate more heat than is generated. This may cause the spa temperature to exceed the set temperature
and cause a “Cool Off” cycle. In order to prevent the water from becoming cloudy due to the circulation pump
being turned off by the “Cool Off” cycle, the spa can be set to bypass the “Cool Off” cycle. This is accomplished
by setting the spa in the “SUMMER MODE”. To initiate a “SUMMER MODE”, use the Up and Down pads to set
the temperature to 59° F (15° C). The Digital Display will indicate “SUMMER MODE”. In this mode the pump will
run continuously until the water temperature reaches 107°F (41.67° C) and then turns off. It will remain off until
the water temperature reaches 102° F (38.39° C) at which point the pump turns on.
Standby Mode
The “STANDBY” mode allows the user to clean the filter without turning off power to the spa. This feature
disables all automatic and manual functions.
To enter the “STANDBY” mode press and hold the Dimension One Spa”s ICON logo for 5 seconds. To exit the
mode, press and hold the logo for 5 seconds. If you do not exit the mode manually, the spa will automatically
return to normal functionality after 24 hours.
The “Smart Winter” mode is not affected by the use of the “Standby”: mode.

When “OVERHEAT” is displayed on the control system Digital Display, the hot tub is in a high temperature
condition. If such a condition exists, check water temperature and if it is above 104° F (40° C), DO NO T
ENTER THE W ATER. If this happens, remove the hot tub cover and allow the water to cool below 110° F
(43.3° C). Reset the power to the spa by resetting the GFCI breaker. If the problem recurs, turn off all power to

Ice
When “ICE CONDITION” and the water temperature are displayed on the Digital Display, the air temperature in
the equipment can has gone below a factory-preset level, and the system has activated “Smart Winter Mode.” It
will then automatically activate the pump(s) to circulate water. This is a normal hot tub function. No corrective
action is necessary. This feature protects the spa from freezing.
Cooling
When “COOLING” and the water temperature are displayed on the Digital Display, the water temperature has
reached 2° F (1.1° C) above the set temperature. The circulation pump and ozone generator will turn off to allow
the water to cool back to the set temperature. This is a normal hot tub function. No corrective action is
necessary.
The circulation pump and ozone generator will be on while either jet pump is on and they will remain
on for 30 minutes after the pump(s) turn off regardless of the water temperature.
Note
The Dimension One Spas Scrolling Message Center will keep all programming for 40 years with no
power supply and the time of day for 30 days. This battery back up will not provide power to heat or
operate the hot tub.
Note
Summer Mode
The “SUMMER MODE” feature temporarily disables the circulation pump “Cool Off” cycle. During hot weather
the spa can experience “Heat Creep”. Heat creep is caused when the spa, during normal maintenance operations,
cannot dissipate more heat than is generated. This may cause the spa temperature to exceed the set temperature
and cause a “Cool Off” cycle. In order to prevent the water from becoming cloudy due to the circulation pump
being turned off by the “Cool Off” cycle, the spa can be set to bypass the “Cool Off” cycle. This is accomplished
by setting the spa in the “SUMMER MODE”. To initiate a “SUMMER MODE”, use the Up and Down pads to set
the temperature to 59° F (15° C). The Digital Display will indicate “SUMMER MODE”. In this mode the pump will
run continuously until the water temperature reaches 107°F (41.67° C) and then turns off. It will remain off until
the water temperature reaches 102° F (38.39° C) at which point the pump turns on.
Standby Mode
The “STANDBY” mode allows the user to clean the filter without turning off power to the spa. This feature
disables all automatic and manual functions.
To enter the “STANDBY” mode press and hold the Dimension One Spa”s ICON logo for 5 seconds. To exit the
mode, press and hold the logo for 5 seconds. If you do not exit the mode manually, the spa will automatically
return to normal functionality after 24 hours.
The “Smart Winter” mode is not affected by the use of the “Standby”: mode.

Massage Zone Description
The Dimension One Spas Dynamic Massage Sequencer lets you enjoy a wide variety of massage patterns on the
most critical muscle groups of-your body. You can choose six automatic jetting sequences, with six different zones,
for a completely personalized hydrotherapy, see Figure 6.
Figure 6. Massage Zones
Zone 1
This zone is designed to massage neck and deltoid muscle groups with the NeckFlex Jet Pillow. There are two
directional mini jets on the NeckFlex Jet Pillow carrier, which can be adjusted to five different heights in order to
accommodate a variety of body sizes. The mini jets are water volume controllable, interchangeable with rotating
jets and provide a narrowly focused massage pattern.
Zone 2
This zone is designed to massage the upper back, shoulders and thoracic muscle groups. There are two Variable
Circulation Rotating jets (VCR) which are water volume controllable and interchangeable with directional jets.
These jets can be adjusted to change the area of coverage and the speed of the rotational pattern.
Zone 3
This zone is designed to massage the middle back. There are two VCR jets that are water volume controllable and
interchangeable with directional jets. These jets provide a high speed, pulsating feel and are excellent therapy for
back muscles.
Zone 4
This zone is designed to massage the lower back and lumbar muscle groups. There are two directional VCR Jets
that are water volume controllable and interchangeable with rotating jets. The directional HydraFlex jet also
provides an adjustable nozzle that can eliminate air induction. This adjustment allows the user to control the water
velocity or the intensity of the massage at each individual jet, without the need for cumbersome valves that also
control jets in other areas of the spa.
Zone 5
This zone is designed to massage the back of the legs at the knee area, lower thighs, upper calves, and hands.
There are four mini VCR jets that are water volume controllable, interchangeable and provide a narrowly focused
massage pattern.

8. Remove the filter and fill your hot tub with a hose through the empty filter compartment to a level of one
to two inches above the bottom of the tile line.
9. Remove the two shipping bolts located on the front of the pump mount and ensure that the gate valves
on the pump(s) are in the open position (handles fully extended).
10. Turn on the circuit breaker (not supplied by Dimension One Spas). Flashing dashed lines will appear for
30 seconds on the Digital Display followed by the current water temperature (flashing).
11. Push the JETS 1 and 2 pads 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.
Ozone bubbles will continue to release from the skimmer recess Ultra Pure bleeder valve as long as
the valve remains open. Once the pumps are primed, be sure that the bleeder is closed tightly.
Note
12. When the jets are in full operation, close the bleeder valves and push the UP pad until the desired hot tub
temperature is indicated on the display screen. The screen will then read100° F (38° C) for thirty seconds
to allow the thermostat time to read the correct current water temperature. Then, the screen will
display the current hot tub water temperature.
13. Once you have verified that the heater is functioning, you can reinstall the equipment compartment panel
removed in Step 1.
While setting the temperature, the Digital Display will read out the temperature up to 104° F (40°
C). W ater tem peratures in excess of 104° F (40° C) should be used with extrem e
caution.
W arning
Depending upon the size of the hot tub and the size of the circuit breaker used, heating will occur
at the rate of 3° F (1.65° C) to10° F (5.5° C) per hour.
Note
14. After completing the above steps, it is necessary to ensure proper water chemistry. See the Water Care
Guide accompanying this manual for instructions on maintaining clean and safe water. The schedule shown
may require more frequent adjustment depending on the bather load.
15. Place the thermal cover on the hot tub to conserve energy and to keep it ready for use.

If your spa is equipped with this material you must keep the spa covered when it is empty. When the spa is empty
and the cover is not in place, and the spa is exposed to direct sunlight, it is vulnerable to ultraviolet light or solar
damage. Temperatures generated by sunlight can become concentrated in the shell surface causing the shell
material to delaminate from the urethane backing.
Dim ension O ne “ EnviroTect” Skirts and Vinyl Covers
The Dimension One EnviroTect skirts are unaffected by most corrosive substances, and will not absorb
moisture. To maintain the original finish, clean with soap and water. No sealing or painting is required. To
maintain a “nearly original” appearance we recommend applying 303 Protectant at least once a month on the
Dimension One EnviroTect skirts and on the vinyl covers if they are exposed to direct sunlight. 303
Protectant is rated at 40 SPF (Sun Protection Factor).

Care for the W ood Spa Cabinet
When properly cared for, the wood cabinet of your hot tub will maintain its beauty for many years. All woods
react differently to the elements by expanding and contracting. To protect your beautiful wood finish, re-stain it
every 3-6 months with Dimension One Spas’ Redwood or Coastal Gray Stain, which 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. Should your hot tub cabinet require re-conditioning, try Dimension One
Spas’ W ood Refurbishing Kit.
Sp e cia l Co ld We a t h e r In st r u ct io n s
Slipping into your steamy water on a snowy, winter night is a refreshing experience. Many times, people who could
never imagine being outside in winter weather, find themselves spending their winter nights doing just that, while
relaxing in their hot tub with family and friends. Therefore, the best winterizing tips of all are to enjoy use of your
system year-round.
All systems manufactured by Dimension One Spas are designed for rigorous winter use. They are insulated to keep
operating costs down and to protect plumbing and equipment whenever the products are operational. Each
product line incorporates freeze protection mode to maintain water circulation during freezing conditions
whenever the system has proper electrical power and water level. Therefore, a fully operational system is your
number one defense against freeze damage.
If you find it completely necessary to drain your water during the winter months, in an area where freezing
conditions may exist, please adhere to all of the instructions in this section to minimize the risk of freeze damage.
Failure to complete any of the steps satisfactorily will increase the chance of freeze damage, as small amounts of
water trapped in pipes will expand as it freezes, and may result in damaged plumbing lines or fittings.
Dimension One Spas does not recommend that you drain your system for the winter. Freeze damage
caused by winterizing your system is specifically not covered by Your Warranty.
Caution
Item s Required for W interizing
•
•
•
•
•
Phillips head screwdriver
16” (40.6 cm) Channel-lock pliers
High pressure air blower
Commercial grade wet-vacuum
3 gallons (11.37 liters) to 6 gallons (22.74 liters)
of Non-Toxic Antifreeze
•
•
Strong, able-bodied people capable of lifting system
Into upright position
Enough time (and patience) to perform all steps.
Procedure for W interizing
1. Shut the power off to the system and make sure that it cannot be accidentally turned back on.
2. Remove filter elements from filter assembly.
3. Drain water from the system using the drain fitting and garden hose or you may use a submersible pump
for faster draining.
4. Open the equipment compartment and locate pumps and heater.
5. Remove all of the drain plugs from each pump.
6. Loosen unions on both sides of each pump, and the heater if applicable.

7. If your system has a Dynamic Jet Sequencer, please remove that access panel as well and loosen all unions
on each of the sequencer valves. There are 6 sequencer valves, that means that you will have to loosen
12 unions.
8. Tip the system onto one side. (The system will have some water remaining, which will add to the
weight). Be sure to have enough people available to safely lift the weight of your system. Do not tip
system onto equipment bay side.
9. Close all jets, by turning jet faces counter clockwise.
10. Put on your protective goggles in order to protect eyes from air, water, antifreeze or debris exiting the
jets or drains.
11. Insert the hose of a high-pressure air blower into the filter element fitting. Some models may have 2
filters. Begin with the left-hand filter fitting, which will help evacuate water from the circulation pump
system. Then proceed to the right-hand filter fitting. When using air blower on single-filter systems or
the right-hand fitting on dual filter systems, rotate each of the jet faces clockwise to open and counter-
clockwise to close again. Do this to each jet face, one jet at a time. Be careful, as water will be coming
out of each jet fitting as you perform this maneuver. Perform this operation, until no more water is
coming from the jets.
12. Remove jet faces and insert the hose of a high-pressure air blower into each jet fitting. Continue this
process, until no more water comes out of any jet fitting or drain fitting and you no longer hear water
gurgling within the plumbing. Place all jet faces in a plastic bag and set aside until you are ready to use
your system again.
13. Remove both bleeder valves from the top of the filter canister area. Place hose of a high-pressure air
blower into the rear-most bleeder fitting first. Confirm that water mist is blowing from one or both of
the circulation system return jets in the footwell of the system. You may also get some water mist
blowing from the filter canister. Repeat this process with the front-most bleeder fitting. Confirm that
water mist is blowing from the drain fittings of the jet pumps.
14. Place the hose of a commercial grade, wet-vacuum over each jet fitting, bleeder valve fitting, and drain
fitting to draw out as much remaining standing water as possible.
15. Remove drain hose bib assembly from the outside bottom of the system.
16. Use the wet-vacuum to remove standing water from the pumps and any other fittings within the
equipment compartment.
17. Once you are sure that all water is evacuated from the plumbing and equipment of the system, put the
system back down in its normal position and repeat Step 10 and Step 11
18. Read all Directions and Safety Precautions on the Swimming Pool or Recreational Vehicle antifreeze
bottle before opening and using. Ensure that it is non-toxic and safe for this use. Beware of and follow all
safety precautions.
19. Using a long funnel, begin pouring non-toxic swimming pool or recreational vehicle water system
antifreeze into the filter canister fittings, bleeder valve fittings and jet fittings of your system. Continue
adding antifreeze until it comes out of the drain fittings or from the opening you are pouring it into. You
must complete this task for every jet fitting in the system. Some of the antifreeze will seep into the
system from the drain or jet fittings, which is okay, the goal is to have anti-freeze collect in the areas of
the plumbing that would normally trap water. Use the funnel to also place antifreeze into the pump
housing(s).

When pouring antifreeze into the rear-most bleeder valve fitting, you may see antifreeze pouring
from one or both of the circulation system return fittings.
Note
DO NOT USE AUTOMOTIVE COOLING SYSTEM ANTIFREEZE IN YOUR SYSTEM. IT IS
TOXIC AND HARMFUL TO HUMANS AND ANIMALS. CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL SPA
DEALER OR RV DEALER TO PURCHASE NON_TOXIC ANTIFREEZE THAT IS COMPATIBLE
WITH DRINKING WATER SYSTEMS!
Danger
20. Replace all equipment access panels onto the system.
21. Replace thermal cover and secure locking tabs. If your system is located in an area of high snowfall, you
may want to take one more extra precaution to safeguard the life of your system cover. Span the cover
with (2 or more) 2x4’s cut to length to reach the outside edges of your cover. Place a sheet of plywood,
cut to fit each half of the cover, over the 2x4’s; this will carry the load of a heavy snow load and prevent
the cover from warping or breaking. You can even tarp the system at this point for maximum protection.
Spring Tim e Startup
In the spring, or when your ready to start the system back up, follow these instructions.
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Make sure o-rings for pumps are in place and undamaged.
Make sure all the fittings that you had to loosen are tightened.
Replace all jet fittings, pump drain plugs, hose bib drains and bleeder valves
Fill the system up, as you would normally do.
Turn the power back on.
Run the jets on high speed for about 15 minutes.
Drain the water.
Put your filter(s) back in.
Refill and treat chemically like you would during a normal water change.
Your system is equipped with automatic freeze protection. However, power outages can cause
your system equipment to freeze quickly. During freezing conditions, check your system frequently
to ensure proper operation. Always check your system after any power failure to ensure that it is
operational. Draining and not operating your system disables this feature.
Caution
For additional information about winterizing your spa, please contact your local Authorized Dimension One Spas
dealer.

Wa r r a n t y Se r v ice In fo r m a t io n
Your hot tub warranty gives you specific coverage. Be sure to read the enclosed warranty sheet carefully.
The warranty does not cover problems arising from misuse, abuse, or neglect, and it does not cover problems
caused by improper installation or “perceived” problems caused by failure to read the hot tub owner’s manual. A
service charge will be made if a service call is made for any of the following:
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 owner’s responsibility to ensure proper electrical service is available.
2. Failure of hot tub to reach desired temperature because the set temperature is not turned up high
enough. Maximum thermostat setting is approximately 104° F (40° C).
3. Burned out hot tub light. Bulbs are not covered.
4. Hot tub water chemistry is the responsibility of the hot tub owner. Cloudy, dirty or chemically
unbalanced water and cleaning of the hot tub filter are also the responsibility of the hot tub owner.
5. Hot tub shell or equipment damage caused by improper water maintenance. Serious damage can be
caused if your hot tub water is not maintained carefully and correctly.
6. Poor jet action because the jet Selector valve is in the middle position. For full performance, turn the jet
Selector valve to either the full clockwise or full counterclockwise position.
Do not block air intakes located on the front left corner underneath the hot tub (the front right
corner for the Chairman II and Triad II) and under the equipment access panel. Resulting
malfunctions are not covered under warranty.
W arning
Granitex /Q uarite Plus Disclaim er
This spa is insulated with high-density urethane foam for structural support and energy efficiency.
When empty of water and left in the direct sunlight without the spa cover in place, the spa is
vulnerable to ultra violet light or solar damage. Temperatures generated by sunlight can become
concentrated in the shell surface causing the shell material to delaminate from the urethane foam
packing. This occurrence is not covered under warranty. The spa cover must be kept on the spa
while empty of water.
