utes. You should now test the pH level of the water.
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.
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.
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.
Replace the spa cover and allow the water to contin-
ue to heat.
See WATER CHEMISTRY on page 13 for information
concerning proper water maintenance.
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.
SECURING THE SPA COVER
The spa cover can be
secured by snapping
the latches on the spa
cover into the buckles
on the wood surround.
The buckles can be
locked by inserting the
key and turning it clock-
wise a quarter turn. To
unlock the buckles,
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.
SPA JET UNIT OPERATION
The spa jet unit features four hydro-therapy jets, two
suction inlets, and a filter housing.
The four hydro-therapy jets, located on the front of
the wet side jet pack, focus the water massage on
your back.
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.
CLEANING THE FILTER
The filter is located
on the right side of
the dry side jet
pack. The filter can
be removed for
cleaning and
replacement by
removing the cover
cap and the filter
cap and then pulling
the filter from the
spa jet unit. IMPOR-
TANT: You must prime the spa jet unit (see the
instructions on page 10) each time you have
cleaned the filter.
