Important Safety Instructions  
WARNING: To reduce the risk of drowning, electric shock, or serious injury, read the following  
important precautions before using the spa.  
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS  
1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure  
that all users of the spa are adequately  
informed of all precautions.  
13. Keep all chemicals away from children and  
pets.  
14. The pH and chemical balance of the water  
must be maintained as explained in this man-  
ual (see page 13). Failure to do so may cause  
injury to users or damage to the spa jet unit,  
and will void the warranty.  
2. Use the spa only as described in the manual.  
3. The spa is intended for home use only. Do  
not use the spa in any commercial, rental or  
institutional setting.  
15. The water pump in the spa jet unit must be  
primed before you use the spa the first time.  
You must also prime the pump before using  
the unit each time you refill the spa or clean  
the filter. The spa jet unit may be seriously  
damaged if the pump is not properly primed  
(see PRIMING THE SPA JET UNIT on page  
10).  
4. Use the spa only on a level surface. Do not  
use the spa on carpet or other materials that  
could be damaged by moisture. Do not use  
the spa on rough or sharp surfaces such as  
gravel or wood chips.  
5. The spa will weigh approximately 2,339  
pounds when it is assembled and filled with  
water. Be sure that the location you select for 16. DANGER—When connecting the power cord  
the spa will support this weight, plus the  
weight of the occupants.  
(see PLUGGING IN THE SPA on page 10),  
plug the power cord directly into a grounded  
circuit capable of carrying 15 or more amps.  
No other appliance should be on the same  
circuit. Replace the power cord immediately  
if damaged.  
6. Inspect and tighten all parts regularly.  
Replace any worn parts immediately.  
7. DANGER—Risk of injury: Do not remove or  
alter the covers on the suction fittings. Never 17. Do not use an extension cord with the spa.  
operate the spa if the suction guard is miss-  
ing or broken. Keep hair and body away from  
the suction guard. If you need to replace a  
suction fitting, be sure that the flow rate of  
the replacement is compatible.  
This could damage the motor and the electri-  
cal system and it will void the warranty.  
18. DANGER—If you will be using the spa out-  
side, do not bury the power cord; you should  
also keep the power cord away from lawn  
mowers, hedge trimmers, and other similar  
equipment.  
8. Do not bring any object into the spa that  
could puncture the liner.  
9. Never insert any object into any opening.  
19. WARNING—The power cord is equipped with  
a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI),  
located at the end of the power cord. The  
GFCI must be tested before each use. To test  
the GFCI, press the “test” button while the  
spa jet unit is running. The spa jet unit

spa cover.  
should shut off. Press the “reset” button.  
The spa jet unit should resume normal oper-  
ation. If the spa jet unit continues to run after  
the “test” button is pressed, then the GFCI is  
damaged. Do not use the spa until the GFCI

has been repaired or replaced by a qualified  
electrician.  
27. DANGER—To reduce the risk of drowning:  
Prolonged immersion in the spa may cause  
hyperthermia, a dangerous condition which  
occurs when the internal body temperature  
rises several degrees above the normal body  
temperature of 98.6°F (37˚). The symptoms of  
hyperthermia are nausea, dizziness, drowsi-  
ness, and fainting. Effects include: a lack of  
awareness, inability to perceive heat or dan-  
ger, and a greater risk of drowning due to a  
loss of consciousness. Special note:  
20. Keep all electrical appliances such as radios,  
telephones, televisions, and lights at least  
five feet (1.52 meters) away from the water.  
21. DANGER—Risk of electric shock: Do not set  
up the spa within five feet of any metal  
objects or surfaces.  
22. DANGER—Risk of drowning: Exercise  
extreme caution to prevent unauthorized and  
unsupervised use of the spa by children.  
Children must always be supervised.  
Individuals suffering from hyperthermia may  
be unable to realize that they must exit the  
spa, and they also may be physically unable  
to do so.  
23. DANGER—To reduce the risk of drowning:  
• Never use the spa alone;  
28. WARNING—To reduce the risk of drowning:  
Heat from the water, in conjunction with alco-  
hol or drugs can cause unconsciousness. Do  
not use the spa if you are under the influ-  
ence of drugs or alcohol.  
• Children should not use the spa unless  
they are supervised by an adult;  
• Keep pets away from the spa at all times;  
• Always replace and lock the spa cover  
when the spa is not in use.  
29. WARNING—To reduce the risk of injury or  
drowning: Consult your physician about pos-  
sible side-effects of any medications you may  
be taking before using the spa. Heat from the  
water, in conjunction with some medications  
may cause drowsiness and increase the risk  
of drowning. Others can effect blood pres-  
sure, heart rate, and circulation.  
24. WARNING—To reduce the risk of injury: The  
water temperature should never exceed  
104°F (40°C). Temperatures between 100°F  
(38°C) and 104°F (40°C) are considered to be  
safe for healthy adults. However, if you plan  
to remain in the spa for more than 10 to 15  
minutes, a lower temperature is recommend-  
ed. Lower temperatures are also recommend- 30. WARNING—To reduce the risk of injury: It is

Choosing a Location for the Hydrotherapy Spa  
There are many factors to consider when choosing a location to set up the spa. These factors vary depending  
on whether you use the spa inside or outside. We have listed several factors you may wish to consider as you  
decide where you want to use the spa.  
If you set up the spa inside:  
If you set up the spa outside:  
1. The spa will increase the level of humidity in your  
home. The location you choose should be well  
ventilated. You may need to install a ventilation  
fan or use a dehumidifier.  
1. You should check your local building codes con-  
cerning the use of outdoor spas.  
2. The location must be close to an electrical outlet.  
An extension cord cannot be used with the  
spa.

occupants. The spa weighs approximately 2,339  
pounds when filled with water.  
6. Think about environmental factors, such as rain,  
wind, shade, sunlight, and so forth.  
7. You should be able to monitor the use of the spa  
from your home, to prevent unauthorized use by  
children.  
6. Do not use the spa above a finished living area,  
due to the risk of water damage.  
8. Be sure that there is room around the spa to per-  
mit servicing of the unit. The diameter of the tub is  
69”. You should allow for this size, plus the size of  
the spa jet unit plus room to remove the cover,  
when choosing the location.

STARTING THE SPA  
Once you have tested the GFCI, verify the water flow  
from the pumping unit. Turn on the console (see  
USING THE CONSOLE on page 12). The pumping

use the included flat wrench to tighten the filter cap an  
additional 1/4 turn. Press the cover cap back onto the  
filter cap. Remove the jet plugs and store them in the  
pouch inside the cover. IMPORTANT: The spa jet  
unit may be seriously damaged if the water pump  
is not properly primed or if the filter cap is not  
re-attached and fully tightened.  
TESTING AND TREATING THE WATER  
The spa comes with a starter chemical pack for main-  
taining the water in the spa. Disregard the directions  
on the individual packages of “QUICK pHix It DOWN”  
and “QUICK pHix It UP.” However, the directions on  
the bottle of “Non-chlorine Shox” and “Bromine Base”  
are correct. Always keep the chemicals away from  
children and pets.  
PLUGGING IN THE SPA  
Once the spa is filled with water up to the fill line and  
the pump has been primed, the power cord can be  
plugged in and the spa jet unit can be turned on.  
Note: The first time the power cord is plugged in, the  
spa jet unit will turn on automatically after a 5 to 10  
second delay.  
The first time you use the spa, you should test and  
treat the water. Once you have verified that the spa  
jet unit is functioning properly, and have allowed the  
water to circulate for a while, you should remove the  
spa cover and add 1/3 of the “Bromine Base” bottle,  
and 1/3 of the “Non-chlorine Shox” bottle to the water  
in the spa. Allow the water to circulate for five min-  
When connecting the power cord, plug the power cord

Use the included test strips to check the pH of the  
water. Refer to the instructions on the test strip pack-  
aging to see how to use the test strips.  
insert the key and turn it counterclockwise a quarter  
turn.  
Always keep the buckles locked when the spa is  
not in use. Keep the keys in a safe place, out of  
the reach of children.  
If the level is too low, add one teaspoon from one of  
the “QUICK pHix It UP” packets to the water. Let the  
water circulate through the spa jet unit for five min-  
utes. Test the pH level again. Repeat until the pH  
level is correct.  
SPA JET UNIT OPERATION  
The spa jet unit features four hydro-therapy jets, two  
suction inlets, and a filter housing.  
If the level is too high, add one teaspoon from the  
“QUICK pHix It DOWN” packets to the water. Let the  
water circulate through the spa jet unit for five min-  
utes. Test the pH level again. Repeat until the pH level  
is correct.  
The four hydro-therapy jets, located on the front of  
the wet side jet pack, focus the water massage on  
your back.  
Replace the spa cover and allow the water to contin-  
ue to heat.

THE HEATING SYSTEM OF YOUR SPA  
The heating system in your spa is designed to be  
economical for long-term use. Combined with the fact  
that water absorbs heat very slowly, the effect is that it  
will take 1 to 3 days (depending on the room tempera-  
ture) to heat the water in the spa. The good news is  
that once the water is heated, it will maintain its tem-  
perature for a relatively low cost. You can reduce the  
waiting period by filling the spa with hot water, but be  
aware that the spa holds more water than your water  
heater. Make sure the spa cover is on and that it is  
tight while the water is heating. The chart below  
shows approximate heating times for different air tem-  
peratures with a water temperature of 60° to 64°F.  
Suction Vents  
The suction vents, located on the bottom side of the  
wet side jet pack, pull the water into the spa unit in  
order to operate the system. The suction covers  
should always be in place over the suction vent.  
Never operate the spa without the suction covers  
in place.

The spa jet unit features an automatic filter cycle and  
freeze protection. If the spa jet unit has not been  
operated for three hours, the pump will begin circulat-  
ing the water for twenty minutes to filter any impuri-  
ties. Also, if the water temperature falls below 40°F,  
the pump will begin circulating and heating the water  
to prevent the water from freezing.  
DRAINING THE PUMP  
After the spa is drained (see DRAINING THE SPA  
above), the pump in the dry side jet pack should also  
be drained if the spa will be stored for more than thirty  
days, or if it may be exposed to freezing tempera-  
tures. To drain the pump, follow these steps:  
DRAINING THE SPA  
• Remove the pillow from the wet side jet pack  
• Unscrew the two threaded collars (see assembly  
step 4) connecting the dry side jet pack to the wet  
side.  
• Remove the filter cap  
• Remove the six screws securing the Dry Side Shell  
(15) to the dry side jet pack.  
• Locate the pump inside the spa jet unit.  
• The nut on one side of the pump must be  
unscrewed and the unit must be tipped on its side  
• Rock the spa jet unit slightly, until all the water has  
drained from the pump.  
To drain the spa, you must use a garden hose to  
siphon the water. Place one end of the hose in the  
spa and hold it in front of a hydrotherapy jet until  
there is a flow of water coming out of the hose. Turn  
off the spa unit and unplug the power cord. The  
unit will be damaged if it is run without water cir-  
culating. Be sure the end of the hose in the spa is on  
the floor of the spa.  
• Replace the nut on the pump  
• Replace the dry side shell, filter cap and pillow  
USING THE CONSOLE  
Refer to the console diagram at the right. The function  
of each console control is explained below:  
Thermostat: Controls the temperature of the water.  
The thermostat can be set to heat the water from  
70°F to 104°F. Use a medical or other accurate ther-  
mometer to check the temperature of the water.  
On/Off Button: Turns the spa jet unit on and off and  
changes the operation mode of the spa. The spa has  
three modes of operation:  
Thermostat  
• Auto Heat  
• Soak  
• Hydrotherapy  
On/Off Button  
When your spa is in the auto heat mode, pushing the  
button once will cause it to go into soak mode for 20  
minutes. Pushing the button twice will cause the spa  
to go into hydrotherapy mode (the jets will be running)  
for 20 minutes. If your spa is not heating, pushing the  
button once will cause it to go into hydrotherapy  
mode. Pushing the button again will switch to soak  
mode.  
mode will begin filtering or heating the water, as need-  
ed. Note: To keep the filter and heat cycles from  
running, the power cord must be unplugged.  
The spa jet unit also features an automatic mode,  
which heats and filters the water when the spa is left  
unattended. When the spa jet unit is first plugged in,  
or if the on/off button on the console has not been  
pressed for longer than three hours, the automatic  
The On/Off button has a built-in delay factor. The  
spa will turn on 5 to 10 seconds after the button is  
pressed.

Maintenance  
CLEANING THE INFLATABLE SPA LINER  
4. Keep all chemicals out of the reach of chil-  
dren and pets.  
The liner should be cleaned with a mild soap solution.  
Do not use solvents. The liner should always be clean  
and dry before being moved or stored.  
5. Keep all containers closed tightly when not  
in use.  
6. Never add water to the chemicals—always  
add the chemicals to the water as directed.  
7. Always store chemicals in a cool, dry place.  
8. Always keep chemicals away from children  
and pets.  
CHECKING AND CLEANING THE FILTER  
The filter should be checked periodically for build-up  
of dirt and oil. If the filter needs to be cleaned, follow  
the steps below:  
MAINTAINING THE PROPER PH BALANCE  
1. Turn off the power.  
2. Remove the cover from the filter. Then pull the  
filter out of the unit.  
The pH factor is a measure of relative acidity or alka-  
linity in the water. It is measured on a scale of 1 to 14.  
Pure water has a value of 7, which is neutral. Any  
value above 7 is alkaline, and any value below 7 is  
acidic. You should maintain a slightly alkaline pH  
level, between 7.2 and 7.8, in the spa.  
3. Check the filter for any dirt or debris. If the filter  
needs to be cleaned, rinse the filter with a  
hose. If the filter still is dirty, you will need to  
soak it in a cleaning solution which can be  
obtained from a pool and spa supply store.  
4. Inspect the filter for damage. Replace the filter  
if there are any signs of damage.  
Severe problems can occur when the pH balance is  
not maintained within this range. If the pH level  
5. Re-insert the cleaned filter and re-attach the  
cover to the spa jet unit.  
exceeds 7.8, dissolved minerals can build-up and clog  
the plumbing in the spa jet unit. If the pH level falls  
below 7.2, the acid level in the water will begin to cor-  
rode the metal parts in the spa jet unit. Also, the sani-  
tation agents in the water will not be effective if the pH  
level is not properly maintained. Damage caused by  
improper pH levels is not covered under the warranty.  
MAINTAINING THE SPA COVER  
The spa cover should be cleaned monthly. Remove  
the inflatable cover from the spa, then hang the spa  
cover over a clothes line and spray it with a hose.  
Leave the cover on the clothes line until it is fully dry.  
To maintain the proper pH level, you should test the  
pH of the water regularly. To test the water you can  
either purchase additional test strips or purchase a pH  
test kit at a pool and spa supply store. The pH reading  
should be between 7.2 and 7.8. If the level is too low,  
add a pH increaser (usually soda ash). If the level is  
too high, add a pH reducer (usually sodium bisulfate).  
Test the water again after five minutes. See the  
WINTER USE AND CARE  
The spa is designed for year-round use. If you decide  
to store the spa for the winter, store it in a warm, dry  
location. (See DRAINING THE SPA and DRAINING  
THE PUMP on page 12.)  
instructions with your test strips or pH test kit for addi-  
tional information about testing and adjusting the pH.  
WATER CHEMISTRY  
The spa comes with a starter chemical pack for main-  
taining the water in the spa. (See TESTING AND  
TREATING THE WATER on page 10.) Additional  
chemicals can be purchased at a pool and spa supply  
store.  
SANITIZING THE SPA  
Please refer to your local pool and spa supplier for  
information concerning which chemicals you should  
use in your area to sanitize the spa.  
CAUTION: The chemicals used to maintain the pH  
balance of the water and to sanitize the water can  
be dangerous. Always follow these basic guide-  
lines when handling the chemicals:  
1. Always read and follow the directions on  
the label, unless directed otherwise.  
2. Never mix different chemicals.  
The most common sanitizing agent is a solid bromine  
concentrate. The amount required varies according to  
several factors, such as user load, temperature, water  
conditions, and so forth.  
Proper water maintenance is a fairly complex process.  
We recommend that you contact your local pool and  
spa supplier for information on how you should best  
accomplish this.  
3. Do not exceed the recommended  
amounts—follow the directions on the label  
closely.

Trouble-shooting  
Most problems can be solved by following the simple steps below. Find the symptom that applies, and  
follow the steps listed. If further assistance is needed, call our Customer Service Department toll-free at  
1-888-936-4266, Monday–Friday, 8:00 am–6:30 pm Eastern Standard Time (excluding holidays).  
1. SYMPTOM: THE SPA WILL NOT OPERATE  
b. The pump may have a bad bearing. Contact  
our customer service department.  
a. Check the power cord. The power cord must  
be plugged into a grounded outlet (see PLUG-  
GING IN THE SPA on page 10).  
6. SYMPTOM: THE WATER DOES NOT HEAT  
a. The heater is attached to the pump in the spa  
jet unit. If the pump is operating, the water  
should heat. Cover the spa with the spa cover.  
The spa cover must be tight. The water will  
heat at a rate of 1.3°F an hour. If you are using  
the spa indoors, and the room temperature is  
maintained at 70°F, it will take approximately  
28 to 34 hours for the water to reach the set  
temperature.  
b. Check to see if the GFCI breaker is tripped, or  
was not turned on. Reset the GFCI breaker.  
c. Check to see that the temperature probe wire is  
connected to the cover panel on the dry side.  
d. Check that the pump is primed. (See PRIMING  
THE SPA JET UNIT on page 10.)  
e. The spa pump will not turn on until 5-10 sec-  
onds after the On/Off button has been pressed.  
b. If you are using the spa outdoors, it may take  
longer for the water to heat. The chart below  
shows approximate heating times for different  
room temperatures when the water tempera-  
ture is 60° to 64°F.  
2. SYMPTOM: THE CIRCUIT BREAKER OR GFCI  
BREAKER TRIPS WHILE THE SPA IS  
OPERATING

28 to 48 hours  
48 to 72 hours  
a. Reset the circuit breaker. If the circuit breaker  
trips again, contact a qualified electrician for  
service.  
b.  
3. SYMPTOM: THE PUMP HUMS  
If the water still has not heated after three days,  
contact our customer service department.  
a. The filter may be dirty or damaged. Remove  
the filter from the filter housing and clean or  
replace the filter.  
7. SYMPTOM: THE PUMP LEAKS BETWEEN THE  
PUMP AND THE MOTOR  
b. The pump may have a foreign object stuck in  
the impeller. Contact our customer service  
department.  
a. The seal in the pump needs to be replaced,  
contact our customer service department.  
c. The pump may have a loose wire connection.  
Contact our customer service department.  
8. SYMPTOM: THE WATER PULSATES OR  
THERE IS MINIMUM WATER FLOW  
4. SYMPTOM: THE PUMP HUMS BUT DOES NOT  
ROTATE  
a. Adjust the water level. This usually occurs only  
when the water level is low. Add water until the  
filter and jets are covered.  
a. The pump may be jammed. Contact our cus-  
tomer service department.  
b. This problem is caused by excess air in the  
pump circulation system. Check to see if the  
primer cap is fully tightened. Prime the pump  
again and fully tighten the primer cap (see  
PRIMING THE SPA JET UNIT on page 10).  
5. SYMPTOM: THE PUMP IS NOISY WHILE  
OPERATING  
a. There may be debris in the pump. Contact our  
customer service department.  
c. Check that the–through the wall–connectors  
are tight. (See assembly step 3 on page 8.)

9. SYMPTOM: THE SPA JET UNIT CAVITATES  
DURING USE  
allow the spa to maintain a safe tempera-  
ture by running in automatic mode.  
Allowing the spa jet unit to freeze will dam-  
age the unit. If you do not want to use the  
spa during the winter, store it in a warm, dry  
location (see WINTER USE AND CARE on  
page 13).  
a. Adjust the water level. This usually occurs only  
when the water level is low. Add water until the  
filter and jets are covered.  
b. This problem is caused by excess air in the  
pump circulation system. Check to see if the  
primer cap is fully tightened. Prime the pump  
again and fully tighten the primer cap (see  
PRIMING THE SPA JET UNIT on page 10).  
12. SYMPTOM: THE WATER LEVEL DROPS  
a. Some water loss due to evaporation is normal.  
If rapid water loss occurs, or if you notice wet-  
ness on the floor around the spa, then the liner  
may have a leak. Locate the leak, and patch it  
using a pool patch kit that you can purchase at  
any pool and spa supply store.  
c. Check that the–through the wall–connectors  
are tight. (See assembly step 3 on page 8.)  
10. SYMPTOM: THE WATER IS NOT BEING  
CLEANED BY THE FILTER  
b. A clamp or seal inside the spa jet may be  
loose. Check the floor around the spa jet unit  
for excess water, and watch the spa jet unit  
while it is operating to see if water drips from  
the spa jet unit housing. If you can identify the  
location of the leak inside the spa jet unit, tight-  
en the clamp or replace the damaged seal.  
a. Check to see if the filter is in place. Clean the  
filter if it is dirty.  
b. Check the chemical balance of the water. If the  
pH is incorrect, the sanitizing agents will not  
function properly.  
13. SYMPTOM: THE INFLATABLE SPA LINER  
LOSES AIR  
11. SYMPTOM: THE SPA JET UNIT CONTINUES  
TO RUN AFTER IT HAS BEEN SHUT OFF  
a. Over time, some air loss is normal. If rapid air  
loss occurs, then the liner may have an air  
leak. Locate the leak, and patch it using a vinyl  
patch kit that you can purchase at any pool and  
spa supply store.  
a. The spa jet unit features an automatic mode,  
which heats and filters the water when the spa  
is left unattended. When the spa jet unit is first  
plugged in, or if the on/off button on the con-  
sole has not been used for longer than twenty  
minutes, the automatic mode will begin filtering  
or heating the water, as needed. To keep the  
filter and heat cycles from running, the power  
cord must be unplugged. Note: If the unit is to  
be kept outdoors in cold weather, you must  
14. SYMPTOM: THE SPA PUMP LOSES ITS PRIME  
a. Make sure the threaded collars connecting the  
dry side jet pack to the wet side jet pack are  
completely tight.

mined key information you need to be aware of to  
get the most enjoyment from your spa. Please  
review this summary carefully.  
take 1 to 3 days (depending on the room temperature)  
to heat the water in the spa. The good news is that  
once the water is heated, it will maintain its tempera-  
ture for a relatively low cost. You can reduce the wait-  
ing period by filling the spa with hot water, but be  
aware that the spa holds more water than your water  
heater. Make sure the spa cover is on, and that it is  
tight, while the water is heating. The chart below  
shows approximate heating times for different air tem-  
peratures with a water temperature of 60° to 64° F.  
Choosing a Location for the Spa  
• The diameter of the tub is 69”  
• Make sure there is room for the spa in the location  
you choose  
• Make sure it is easy to get in and out of the spa  
• Make sure you can access the mechanical  
components  
• Make sure the room is compatible with the extra  
humidity released by the spa  
Air Temperature  
At least 70°F  
At least 50°F  
At least 30°F  
Heating Time  
20 to 28 hours  
28 to 48 hours  
48 to 72 hours  
See “Choosing a Location for the Hydrotherapy Spa”  
in the user’s manual for further important information.  
Water Chemistry  
Plugging in the Spa  
It is important to recognize that maintaining the correct  
water chemistry is a fairly complex process, because it  
depends on local water conditions and user load.  
Since water conditions vary greatly, it is necessary to  
consult your local pool and spa supply store to deter-  
mine your personal needs.  
• Make sure the spa is plugged into a dedicated circuit  
capable of carrying at least 15 amps  
• Make sure no other electrical appliances or lights  
are plugged into the same circuit  
• It may be necessary to install a new circuit with its  
own breaker  
• Do NOT use any kind of extension cord with the spa.  
See the section “Maintenance” in the user’s manual for  
further important information.  
See “Using the Hydrotherapy Spa” in the user’s manu-  
al for further important information.  
Quick Guide to Turning On the Spa  
• Fill the spa with water  
Cleaning and Maintaining the Spa  
• Plug in the power cord with GFCI  
• Press the ON/OFF button on the console  
• When unit is running, press the “Test” button on the  
GFCI  
To ensure your long-term enjoyment, the spa requires  
a small amount of attention. The most important fac-  
tors are:  
• When the unit has shut off, press the “Reset” button  
• Apply water chemicals as described in the user’s  
manual  
• Clean the filter on a weekly basis  
• Replace the filter monthly or when necessary
