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

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

insert the filter and fill the filter housing to the top with
water. Replace and hand tighten the filter cap; then,
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
directly into a grounded circuit capable of carrying 15
or more amps. No other appliance should be on the

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:

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

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

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
Air Temperature
At least 70°F
At least 50°F
At least 30°F
Heating Time

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.)
14
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

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
