Important Safety Instructions
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of drowning, electric shock, or serious injury, read the fol-
lowing important precautions before using the hydrotherapy spa.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the hydrotherapy spa are
adequately informed of all precautions.
10. Never insert any object into any opening.
11. Do not use breakable containers in or near
the hydrotherapy spa.
2. Use the hydrotherapy spa only as described
in this manual.
12. Do not sit on the spa cover or place objects
on it; it is not designed to support weight.
3. The hydrotherapy spa is intended for home
use only. Do not use the spa in a commercial,
rental, or institutional setting.
13. Remove any water or debris that may collect
on the spa cover.
14. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets
away from the hydrotherapy spa when it is
not in use.
4. Use the hydrotherapy spa only on a level sur-
face. Do not use the spa on carpet or other
materials that could be damaged by moisture.
15. Keep all chemicals away from children and
pets.
5. The hydrotherapy spa will weigh approxi-
mately 2,133 pounds when it is filled with
water. Make sure that the location you select
for the spa will support this weight, plus the
weight of the occupants.
16. The pH and chemical balance of the water
must be maintained as explained in this man-
ual (see pages 10 and 14). Failure to do so
may cause injury to users or damage to the
hydrotherapy spa, and will void the warranty.
6. Inspect and tighten all parts regularly.
Replace any worn parts immediately.
17. Individuals with infections and open sores or
wounds should not use the hydrotherapy
spa. Bacteria thrive in warm and hot water.
Always keep your spa disinfected and main-
tain the proper chemical balance.
7. DANGER—Risk of injury: Do not remove or
alter the covers on the suction fittings. Never
operate the hydrotherapy spa if the suction
guard is missing or broken. If you need to
replace a suction fitting or pump, make sure
you use only manufacturer recommended
replacement parts. Keep hair and body parts
away from the suction guard. Do not allow
long hair to float freely in the water; long hair
should be restrained with a bathing cap.
18. Shower before and after using the hydrother-
apy spa. This will remove any deodorant, per-
spiration, or body oils that could contaminate
the water. Showering after will remove any
residual chemicals and any bacteria that may
have been in the spa.
8. IMPORTANT: Do not allow the hydrotherapy
spa to be exposed to direct sunlight when it
is empty. The surface of the spa shell can
reach temperatures as high as 150°F in a mat-
ter of minutes if exposed to the sun while it is
empty. These high temperatures can cause
significant damage, such as blistering of the
shell surface and warping of the spa shell.
Any damage caused by sun exposure is not
covered under the warranty.
19. WARNING—The Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI), must be tested before
each use. To test the GFCI, press the “test”
button while the hydrotherapy spa is running.
The spa should shut off. Press the “reset”
button. The spa should resume normal opera-
tion. If the spa 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.
9. Do not bring any object into the hydrotherapy
spa that could damage the spa shell.

electrical appliances such as radios, tele-
phones, televisions, and lights at least five
feet away from the water.
physician before using the hydrotherapy spa.
Pregnant women should not use the spa if
the water temperature is above 100°F; the
unborn child could be seriously harmed. This
is especially important during the first 90
days of the pregnancy.
21. A wire connector is provided on the electron-
ics pack of the hydrotherapy spa to connect a
minimum No. 8 AWG (8.04 mm2) solid copper
conductor between the spa and any metal
equipment, electrical enclosure made of
metal, metal water pipes, or conduit within
five feet of the spa.
29. DANGER—To reduce the risk of drowning:
Prolonged immersion in the hydrotherapy spa
may cause hyperthermia. The causes, symp-
toms and effects of hyperthermia may be
described as follows: Hyperthermia occurs
when the internal temperature of the body
reaches a level several degrees above the
normal body temperature of 98.6˚F. The symp-
toms of hyperthermia include an increase in
the internal temperature of the body, dizzi-
ness, lethargy, drowsiness and fainting. The
effects of hyperthermia include failure to per-
ceive heat; failure to recognize the need to
exit the spa or hot tub; unawareness of
impending hazard; fetal damage in pregnant
women; physical inability to exit the spa or
hot tub and unconsciousness resulting in
danger of drowning. WARNING: The use of
alcohol, drugs or medication can greatly
increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia.
22. DANGER—Risk of electric shock: Do not set
the hydrotherapy spa within five feet of any
metal objects or surfaces. As an alternative,
you may use the spa within five feet of metal
objects if each metal object is permanently
connected to the wire connector on the elec-
tronics pack of the spa by a minimum No. 8
AWG (8.04 mm2) solid copper conductor (see
instruction 21).
23. Do not operate the pump motor when the
hydrotherapy spa is empty. The pump motor
may be seriously damaged if it is operated
without water circulating.
24. DANGER—Risk of drowning: Exercise
extreme caution to prevent unauthorized and
unsupervised use of the hydrotherapy spa by
children. Children must always be supervised.
30. WARNING—To reduce the risk of drowning:
Do not use the hydrotherapy spa if you are
under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Heat
from the water, in conjunction with alcohol or
drugs, can cause loss of consciousness.
25. DANGER—To reduce the risk of drowning:
• Never use the hydrotherapy spa alone.
• Children should not use the spa unless they
are supervised by an adult.
31. 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 hydrotherapy spa.
Heat from the water, in conjunction with some
medications, may cause drowsiness and
increase the risk of drowning. Other medica-
tions can effect blood pressure, heart rate,
and circulation.
• Keep pets away from the spa at all times.
• Always replace and lock the spa cover when
the spa is not in use.
26. WARNING—To reduce the risk of injury: The
water temperature should never exceed
104°F. Temperatures between 100°F and 104°F
are considered to be safe for healthy adults.
However, if you plan to remain in the hydro-
therapy spa for more than 10 to 15 minutes, a
lower temperature is recommended. Lower
temperatures are also recommended for chil-
dren. Children should not be allowed to swim
under the surface of the water in the spa.
32. Do not use the hydrotherapy spa immediately
after strenuous exercise.
33. If you feel pain or dizziness at any time while
using the hydrotherapy spa, discontinue use
and contact a physician.
34. WARNING—To reduce the risk of injury: It is
especially important for persons over the age
of 35 or persons with pre-existing health
problems, such as obesity, heart disease,
high or low blood pressure, circulatory prob-
lems, or diabetes to consult their physician
before using the hydrotherapy spa.
27. WARNING—To reduce the risk of injury:
Before entering the hydrotherapy spa, always
use an accurate thermometer to determine

Using the Hydrotherapy Spa
The hydrotherapy spa is designed to seat five adults.
The spa holds 295 gallons of water and offers a heat-
ing system (80°F to 104°F), a filtration system, and
adjustable hydrotherapy jets. Follow the guidelines
below to use and maintain the spa for your long-term
enjoyment.
If the level is too high, add half of one of the “QUICK
pHix It DOWN” packets to the water. Let the water cir-
culate through the spa for five minutes. Test the pH
level again. Repeat until the pH level is correct.
See WATER CHEMISTRY on page 14 for information
concerning proper water maintenance.
WIRING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA
STARTING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA
The hydrotherapy spa is designed to operate with a
240 volt AC power source. It must be wired directly
into a grounded circuit with a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) capable of carrying 40 or more
amps. No other appliance should be on the same cir-
cuit. Connection of the spa to the 240V power
source must be performed by a qualified, licensed
electrician and must comply with all local, state,
and federal electrical codes. Please refer to the
instructions on the inside of the electronics package
for information about connecting the spa to a 240V
power source.
You should always test the GFCI before using the
hydrotherapy spa. First, turn on the spa by pressing
the jet button on the console (see USING THE CON-
TROLS on page 12). Once the spa is running, press
the GFCI “test” button. The spa should shut off. Press
the “reset” button. The spa should resume normal
operation. If the spa continues to run after the “test”
button is pressed, the GFCI is damaged. Do not use
the spa until the GFCI has been repaired or replaced
by a qualified electrician.
Once you have tested the GFCI, you should verify the
water flow from the pumping unit. Set the air control
on the console to the lowest setting (see USING THE
CONTROLS on page 12). The pumping unit will heat
the water as it pumps. Cover the hydrotherapy spa
with the spa cover. The spa cover must be tight
(see SECURING THE SPA COVER ON THE SPA on
this page). The water will heat at about 6°F per hour
with the cover on. If you are using the spa indoors,
and the room temperature is maintained at 70°F, it will
take approximately 6 to 8 hours for the water to reach
the set temperature.
Once the spa is filled with water, the power can be
turned on. Note: The first time the power is turned on,
the spa will start automatically.
TESTING AND TREATING THE WATER
The hydrotherapy spa comes with a starter chemical
pack for maintaining 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 chemi-
cals away from children and pets.
The temperature and the water flow can be set or
changed with the controls on the console (see USING
THE CONTROLS on page 12).
The first time you use the spa, you should test and
treat the water. You must also treat the water each
time you refill the spa. Once you have verified that
the spa 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-
utes. You should now test the pH level of the water by
using the included test strips. Refer to the test strip
packaging for instructions on using the test strips. The
pH reading should be between 7.2 and 7.8.
SECURING THE SPA COVER ON THE SPA
To secure the spa cover,
snap the latches on the spa
cover into the buckles on the
WeatherWood™ panels.
Latch
Key
To lock the buckles, insert
the key and turn it clock-
wise 1/4 turn. To unlock the
buckles, insert the key and
turn it counterclockwise 1/4

If the level is too low, add half of one of the “QUICK
pHix It UP” packets to the water. Let the water circu-
late through the spa for five minutes. Test the pH level
again. Repeat until the pH level is correct.

The spa cover should be cleaned monthly. To clean
the spa cover, use water and a non-abrasive cleaner
on the entire cover. Rinse the cover with a garden
hose to remove any cleaner residue. Dry the cover
entirely. Use a non-silicone-based vinyl conditioner on
the cover after you clean it. This will help protect the
cover from sun damage.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Daily
• Check the water level and refill the spa to the level
shown in step 5 on page 9.
• Check the pH balance and sanitizer level. Adjust if
necessary (see WATER CHEMISTRY on page 14).
SANITIZING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA
Weekly
Please refer to your local pool and spa supplier for
information concerning which chemicals you should
use in your area to sanitize the spa.
• Clean the spa shell at the waterline.
• Check and thoroughly clean the filter (see CHECK-
ING AND CLEANING THE FILTER on this page).
• Replace the filter if needed (see ORDERING
REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover).
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 etc. 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.
Monthly
• Clean the spa cover (see MAINTAINING THE SPA
COVER on this page).
• Soak the filter for two hours in a trisodium phos-
phate (TSP) solution. Rinse the filter in clean water.
• Replace the filter if needed (see ORDERING
REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover).
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:
Every Three Months
• Drain the spa and refill it with clean water. Sanitize
and test the pH of the water.
• Check for any leaks around the pump or joints in
the pipes. The seals will wear out over time; detect-
ing leaks early can reduce repair costs.
• Clean the interior of the spa. Do not use solvents or
waxes.
1. Turn off the power.
2. Unscrew the filter
cover.

4. Lift the the filter out
of the filter housing.
5. Check the filter for
dirt and debris. If the
filter needs to be
cleaned, rinse the fil-
ter with a hose. If the
filter is still dirty, soak
it in cleaning solution
from a pool and spa
supply store.

WATER CHEMISTRY
ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE ACCESS PANEL
The hydrotherapy spa comes with a starter chemical
pack for maintaining the water in the spa. (See TEST-
ING AND TREATING THE WATER on page 10.)
Additional chemicals can be purchased at a pool and
spa supply store.
To locate the access panels, refer to the drawing on
page 6. Turn off the spa power. To remove an access
panel, first remove the four indicated screws. Slide
the access panel down and then pull the bottom of it
away from the spa. Note: Be careful not to damage
the spa shell as you remove the access panel.
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.
Pump
Access
Panel
2. Never mix different chemicals.
3. Do not exceed the recommended amounts of
chemicals—follow the directions on the label
closely.
4. Keep all chemicals out of the reach of children
and pets.
5. Keep all containers closed tightly when not in
use.
Screws
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.
To replace the access panel, insert the top of the
access panel under the edge of the spa shell. Slide
the cover up until the bottom of the access panel
clears the trim along the bottom of the spa. Then,
slide the access panel into place and re-attach the
four screws.
MAINTAINING THE PROPER PH BALANCE
The pH factor is a measure of the relative acidity or
alkalinity 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 hydrotherapy spa.
DRAINING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA
The hydrotherapy spa should be drained at least four
times a year and refilled with clean water. You may
need to drain the spa more often, depending on the
user load. This must be done because after repeated
chemical treatment the water becomes chemically
saturated. Once this happens, additional chemical
treatment of the water is no longer effective. The spa
should also be drained if you will not be using it for
long periods of time. The spa must always be drained
before major repairs are made.
Severe problems can occur when the pH balance is
not maintained within this range. If the pH level
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.
The hydrotherapy spa should always be covered
when it is empty. Direct sunlight can cause exten-
sive damage. The surface of the spa shell can
reach temperatures as high as 150°F in a matter
of minutes if exposed to the sun while it is empty.
These high temperatures can cause significant
damage, such as blistering of the shell surface
and warping of the spa shell. Any damage caused
by sun exposure is not covered under warranty.
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 read-
ing 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 instructions with your pH test kit for additional
information about testing and adjusting the pH.

pH is incorrect, the sanitizing agents will not
function properly.
4. SYMPTOM: THE PUMP HUMS, BUT DOES NOT
ROTATE
8. SYMPTOM: THE WATER PULSATES OR
THERE IS MINIMUM WATER FLOW
a. The pump may be jammed. Contact our cus-
tomer service department. If your spa is no
longer under warranty, contact a local spa and
pool service provider.
a. This usually occurs only when the water level is
low. Add water until the jets are covered (see
step 5 on page 9).
5. SYMPTOM: THE PUMP IS NOISY WHILE
OPERATING
9. SYMPTOM: THE WATER LEVEL DROPS
a. There may be debris in the pump. Contact our
customer service department.
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 hydrotherapy spa,
the spa shell may have a leak. Contact your
local pool and spa service provider for repairs.
b. The pump may have a bad bearing. Contact
our customer service department.
6. SYMPTOM: THE WATER DOES NOT HEAT
b. A clamp or seal inside the pump compartment
may be loose. Check inside the pump compart-
ment for excess water and watch the pump unit
while it is operating to see if water drips from
any of the plumbing. If you can identify the
location of the leak inside the spa jet unit, tight-
en the clamp or replace the damaged seal.
