14
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.
To maintain the proper pH level, test the pH of the
water regularly. To test the water, 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
instructions with your pH test kit for additional infor-
mation about testing and adjusting the pH.
SANITIZING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA
The most common sanitizing agent is a solid bromine
concentrate. The amount required varies according to
several factors, such as user load, temperature, and
water conditions. Proper water maintenance is a com-
plex process. Contact your local pool and spa supplier
for information concerning which chemicals you
should use in your area to sanitize the spa.
CHANGING THE FILTER CYCLE
The spa will filter the water every 12 hours. The dura-
tion of the cycle can be adjusted to last 2 to 5 hours.
Press the temperature up or temperature down button
on the console. When the display begins to flash,
press the pump button. The display will read F2. To
change the time, press the temperature up button
until the desired time is reached. Press the pump but-
ton to confirm the selection. As spa usage increases,
the duration of the filter cycle may need to be
increased.
ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE ACCESS PANEL
Turn off the spa power. To remove the indicated
access panel, remove the four cover screws that
secure the access panel to the spa. Carefully remove
the access panel and set it aside.
To replace the access panel, hold the access panel in
place and secure it with the cover screws. Be careful
not to overtighten the screws.
DRAINING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA
The hydrotherapy spa should be drained at least four
times per 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.
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.
