Startup: Filling your spa for the first time...

With your spa in its final location and wired correctly, you can begin with startup.

Make sure you have read your owner's manual before proceeding:

• Turn off all electrical power to the equipment at the circuit breaker.

• Make sure that the spa's gate valves are open (consult owner's manual).

•Check to see that drain valve is closed.

• Clean interior of spa with suitable mild, non-foaming, non-abrasive cleaner.

• Check to see that the filter(s) are properly seated.

• Using garden hose, fill spa with clean cold water to level specified in owner's manual. Low water levels can cause damage to the pump and heater element.

• Open equipment door and observe for any leaks around union fittings. Tighten if necessary.

• Turn on power at the circuit breaker.

• Operate your spa's controls per owner's manual instructions.

• Balance your water chemistry and use a sanitizer system.

Heating

Do not expect to immediately feel hot water from the jets. Initially, the hot tub may take approximately 7-8 hours to heat, depending upon its size and other factors.
