IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
WARNING: To reduce the risk of drowning, electric shock, or serious injury, read the following  
important precautions before using the RENEW 900.  
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS  
1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure  
that all users of the RENEW 900 are ade-  
quately 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 RENEW 900 only as described in this  
manual.  
3. The RENEW 900 is intended for home use  
only. Do not use the RENEW 900 in any com-  
mercial, rental, or institutional setting.  
15. The water pump in the spa jet unit must be  
primed before you use the RENEW 900 the  
first time. You must also prime the pump  
before using the unit each time you re-fill the  
spa. The spa jet unit may be seriously dam-  
aged if the pump is not properly primed (see  
PRIMING THE SPA JET UNIT on page 10).  
4. Use the RENEW 900 only on a level surface.  
Do not use the RENEW 900 on carpet or  
other materials that could be damaged by  
moisture. Do not use the RENEW 900 on  
rough or sharp surfaces such as gravel or  
wood chips.  
16. DANGER—When connecting the power cord  
(see PLUGGING IN THE RENEW 900 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.  
5. The RENEW 900 will weigh approximately  
2400 pounds when it is assembled and filled  
with water. Be sure that the location you  
select for the RENEW 900 will support this  
weight, plus the weight of the occupants.  
6. Inspect and tighten all parts regularly.  
Replace any worn parts immediately.  
17. Do not use an extension cord with the  
RENEW 900. This could damage the motor  
and will void the warranty.  
7. DANGER—Risk of injury: Do not remove or  
alter the covers on the suction fittings. Never  
operate the RENEW 900 if the suction guard  
is missing 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.  
18. DANGER—If you will be using the RENEW  
900 outside, 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 RENEW 900  
that could puncture the liner.  
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  
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 RENEW 900 until  
the GFCI has been repaired or replaced by a  
qualified electrician.  
9. Never insert any object into any opening.  
10. Do not sit on the spa cover or place objects  
on it. It is not designed to support weight.  
11. Remove any water which may collect on the  
spa cover.  
12. Keep children and pets away from the  
RENEW 900 when it is not in use.

28. DANGER—To reduce the risk of drowning:  
Prolonged immersion in the RENEW 900 may  
cause hyperthermia, a dangerous condition  
which occurs when the internal body temper-  
ature rises several degrees above the normal  
body temperature of 98.6°F. 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:  
22. DANGER—Risk of electric shock: Do not set  
up the RENEW 900 within five feet of any  
metal objects or surfaces. As an alternative,  
you may use the RENEW 900 within five feet  
of metal objects if each metal object is per-  
manently connected to the wire connector on  
the pump motor of this unit by a minimum  
No. 8 AWG (804 mm2) solid copper conductor  
(see instruction 21).  
Individuals suffering from hyperthermia may  
be unable to realize that they must exit the  
RENEW 900, and they also may be physically  
unable to do so.  
23. DANGER—Risk of drowning: Exercise  
extreme caution to prevent unauthorized and  
unsupervised use of the RENEW 900 by chil-  
dren. Children must always be supervised.

drowning: Consult your physician about pos-  
sible side-effects of any medications you may  
be taking before using the RENEW 900. Heat  
from the water, in conjunction with some med-  
ications may cause drowsiness and increase  
the risk of drowning. Others can effect blood  
pressure, heart rate, and circulation.  
• Always replace and lock the spa cover  
when the RENEW 900 is not in use.  
25. 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 RENEW 900 for more than  
10 to 15 minutes, a lower temperature is rec-  
ommended. Lower temperatures are also rec-  
ommended for children.

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 your physician  
before using this product.  
26. WARNING—To reduce the risk of injury:  
Always use an accurate thermometer to

USING THE RENEW 900  
The RENEW 900 is designed for up to four adults.  
The six water jets can be regulated to provide a relax-  
ing massage to sooth away stress, and the strength  
of the water massage can be adjusted by the air con-  
trol. The RENEW 900 holds 300 gallons of water and  
offers an automatic, programmable heating (70°F to  
104°F) and filtration system.  
or more amps. No other appliance should be on the  
same circuit. Replace the power cord immediately if it  
becomes damaged.  
The power cord is equipped with a Ground Fault  
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), located at the end of the  
power cord. You should always test the GFCI before  
using the RENEW 900.  
The guidelines below explain how to properly use the  
RENEW 900. Follow these guidelines to maintain the  
RENEW 900 for your long-term enjoyment.  
First, turn on the RENEW 900 by pressing the power  
button on the console. Once the unit is running, press  
the GFCI “test” button. The RENEW 900 should shut  
off. Press the “reset” button. The RENEW 900 should  
resume normal operation. If the RENEW 900 contin-  
ues to run after the “test” button is pressed, then the  
GFCI is damaged. Do not use the RENEW 900 until  
the GFCI has been repaired or replaced by a qualified  
electrician.  
PRIMING THE SPA JET UNIT  
The water pump in the spa jet unit must be primed  
before you use the RENEW 900 the first time. You  
must also prime the pump before using the unit each  
time you re-fill the RENEW 900.  
STARTING THE RENEW 900  
To prime the spa jet  
unit, remove the  
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  
CONSOLE on the next page). The pumping unit will  
heat the water as it pumps. Cover the RENEW 900  
with the spa cover. The spa cover must be tight.  
The water will heat at about 1.7°F an hour with the  
cover on. If you are using the RENEW 900 indoors,  
and the room temperature is maintained at 70°F, it will  
take approximately 20 to 28 hours for the water to  
reach the set temperature.

PLUGGING IN THE RENEW 900  
The temperature and water flow can be set or  
changed by the controls on the console (see USING  
THE CONSOLE on the next page).  
Once the RENEW 900 is filled with enough water to  
cover the water jets 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.  
TESTING AND TREATING THE WATER  
The RENEW 900 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.  
When connecting the power cord, plug the power cord  
directly into a grounded circuit capable of carrying 15  
Grounded circuit capable of  
carrying 15 or more amps  
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-  
utes. You should now test the pH level of the water.

concerning proper water maintenance.  
DIAGRAM OF THE CONSOLE  
USING THE CONSOLE  
Refer to the console diagram above. The function of  
each console control is explained below:  
On/Off: Turns the spa jet unit on and off. When you  
first press the on/off button, the spa jet unit will run at  
low speed, providing gentle hydrotherapy. Press the  
button again and the spa jet unit will run at high  
speed, providing more intense hydrotherapy. Press  
the button a third time and the spa jet unit will shut  
off.  
Primer: This opening allows you to prime the spa jet  
unit before operation (see PRIMING THE SPA JET  
UNITon page 10).  
Diverter: Controls the flow of water through the  
hydro-therapy jets and the whirlpool jet. The direction  
of the flow can be adjusted by turning the diverter  
control. When the control is set to “front,” the flow will  
be through the hydro-therapy jets; when it is set to  
“side,” the flow will be through the whirlpool jet; when  
it is set to “all,” the flow will be evenly distributed  
through both the hydro-therapy jets and the whirlpool  
jet.  
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 buttons on the console have not been used  
for longer than twenty minutes, the automatic mode  
will begin filtering or heating the water, as needed.  
Note: to keep the filter and heat cycles from run-  
ning, the power cord must be unplugged.  
Thermostat: Controls the temperature of the water.  
The water heats at about 1.7°F an hour with the cover  
on. 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.  
Air Control: Determines the amount of air that is in  
the spa jet system during operation. If the control is  
turned to the left, the amount of air flowing through  
the jets will increase. If the control is turned to the  
right, the amount will decrease.

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.  
The spa jet unit features five hydro-therapy jets, a  
whirlpool jet, a suction vent, and a filter housing.  
The five hydro-therapy jets (A), located on the front  
of the spa jet unit, focus the water massage on your  
neck and back.  
DRAINING THE RENEW 900  
To drain the RENEW 900, you must use a garden  
hose to siphon the water. Place one end of the hose  
in the RENEW 900 and hold it in front of a hydro-  
therapy 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 circulating. Be sure the end of the  
hose in the RENEW 900 is on the floor of the spa.

The whirlpool jet (B), located on the left side of the  
spa jet unit, directs the flow of the water to create a  
whirlpool action in the RENEW 900.  
The suction vent (C),  
located on the right  
side of the spa jet  
unit, pulls the water  
into the spa unit, in  
order to operate the  
system. The suction  
cover should always  
be in place over the  
suction vent. Never  
operate the RENEW  
900 without the suc-  
tion cover in place.  
DRAINING THE PUMP  
After the RENEW 900 is drained (see DRAINING  
THE RENEW 900 above), the pump in the spa jet unit  
should also be drained if the RENEW 900 will be  
stored for more than thirty days, or if it may be  
exposed to freezing temperatures.  
C
To drain the pump,  
remove the spa jet  
unit from the side pan-  
els. Be careful not to  
tear the inflatable  
spa liner. Locate the  
pump inside the spa  
jet unit. Remove the  
drain plug from the  
pump. Tip the spa jet  
unit slightly, until all the water has drained from the  
pump. Replace the drain plug.  
The filter (D), is locat-  
ed on the left side of  
the spa jet unit,  
behind the filter cover.

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 chil-  
dren 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 two screws and cover from the  
spa jet. Then pull the filter out of the unit.  
3. Check the filter for any dirt or debris. If the fil-  
ter 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 fil-  
ter if there are any signs of damage.  
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 RENEW 900.  
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  
two screws and 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 cover, 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 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 test strips or pH test kit for  
additional information about testing and adjusting the  
pH.  
WINTER USE AND CARE  
The RENEW 900 is designed for year-round use. If  
you decide to store the RENEW 900 for the winter,  
store it in a warm, dry location. (See DRAINING THE  
RENEW 900 and DRAINING THE PUMP on page 12.)  
WATER CHEMISTRY  
The RENEW 900 comes with a starter chemical pack  
for maintaining 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 RENEW 900  
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–Thursday, 8:00 am–6:30 pm; Friday, 8:00 am–6:00 pm EST (excluding holi-  
days).  
1. SYMPTOM: THE SPA WILL NOT OPERATE  
the air control to low. The water will heat at a  
rate of 1.7°F an hour. If you are using the spa  
indoors, and the room temperature is main-  
tained at 70°F, it will take approximately 20 to  
28 hours for the water to reach the set temper-  
ature.  
a. Check the power cord. The power cord must  
be plugged into a grounded outlet (see PLUG-  
GING IN THE RENEW 900 on page 10).  
b. Check to see if the GFCI breaker is tripped, or  
was not turned on. Reset the GFCI breaker.  
b. If you are using the RENEW 900 outdoors, it  
may take longer for the water to heat. See the  
chart below for the approximate heating time.  
2. SYMPTOM: THE CIRCUIT BREAKER OR GFCI  
BREAKER TRIPS WHILE THE SPA IS  
OPERATING  
Air Temperature  
Heating Time  
20 to 28 hours  
1 to 2 days  
+
70°F  
a. Reset the circuit breaker. If the circuit breaker  
trips again, contact a qualified electrician for  
service.  
50°F–70°F  
30°F–50°F  
2 to 3 days  
b. If the water still has not heated after three  
days, contact our customer service department.  
3. SYMPTOM: THE PUMP HUMS  
a. The filter may be dirty or damaged. Remove  
the filter housing from the spa jet unit and clean  
or replace the filter.  
7. SYMPTOM: THE WATER PULSATES OR  
THERE IS MINIMUM WATER FLOW  
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. The pump may have a foreign object stuck in  
the impeller. Contact our customer 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 JETUNITon page 10).  
c. The pump may have a loose wire connection.  
Contact our customer service department.  
4. SYMPTOM: THE PUMP HUMS BUT DOES NOT  
ROTATE  
8. SYMPTOM: THE SPA JET UNIT CAVITATES  
DURING USE  
a. The pump may be jammed. Contact our cus-  
tomer service department.  
a. Adjust the water level. This usually occurs only  
when the water level is low. Add water until the  
filter and jets are covered.  
5. SYMPTOM: THE PUMP IS NOISY WHILE  
OPERATING  
a. There may be debris in the pump. Contact our  
customer 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 JETUNITon page 10).  
b. The pump may have a bad bearing. Contact  
our customer service department.  
6. SYMPTOM: THE WATER DOES NOT HEAT  
9. SYMPTOM: THE WATER IS NOT BEING  
CLEANED BY THE FILTER  
a. The heater is attached to the pump in the spa  
jet unit. If the pump is operating, the water  
should heat. Cover the RENEW 900 with the  
spa cover. The spa cover must be tight. Set  
a. Check to see if the filter is in place. Clean the  
filter if it is dirty.  
14  
 
b. Check the chemical balance of the water. If the  
pH is incorrect, the sanitizing agents will not  
function properly.  
11. 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 RENEW 900, then  
the liner may have a leak. Locate the leak, and  
patch it using a pool patch kit that you can pur-  
chase at any pool and spa supply store.  
10. SYMPTOM: THE SPA JET UNIT CONTINUES  
TO RUN AFTER IT HAS BEEN SHUT OFF  
a. When you press the on/off button once, the spa  
jet unit will run at low speed, heating the water.  
Press the button again and the spa jet unit will  
run at high speed, filtering the water. Press the  
button a third time and the spa jet unit will shut  
off. 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 buttons on the  
console have 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. Special  
Note: If the unit is to be kept outdoors in  
cold weather, you must allow the spa to  
maintain a safe temperature by running in  
automatic mode. Allowing the spa jet unit to  
freeze will damage 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).  
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.  
12. SYMPTOM: THE INFLATABLE SPA LINER  
LOSES AIR  
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 pool  
patch kit that you can purchase at any pool and  
spa supply store.
