9.0 Hot Tub Fill Up Procedure
For best results, read each step in its entirety before proceeding with that
step.
1. Prepare The Hot Tub For Filling
Clear all debris from the hot tub. (Although the hot tub shell •
has been polished at the factory, you may want to treat it with
a specially formulated hot tub cleaner.) Consult your dealer for
additional information prior to filling hot tub.
Remove filter lid (Figures F-K, pages • 24-29), then remove filter
cartridge from filter bucket as illustrated in Section 14.1.
2. Fill Hot Tub
Place the end of your garden hose into the empty filter bucket. •

Never fill with water from a water softener. If your water is extremely
“hard”, it is preferable to fill half-way with hard water and the rest of
the way with softened water. Water that is too soft can be corrosive
to metal components.

diSeASe.
Fill hot tub with clean tap water from garden hose, to reduce risk of
contracting a waterborne illness (e.g. an infection, bacteria or virus)
and/or respiratory ailments. Fill until water covers all jets but does not
touch the bottom of the lowest headrest. (DO NOT OVERFILL!)
iMPOrTANT: Always fill your hot tub through the filter bucket after
draining. Failure to do so may cause air to be trapped in either
pump, preventing the pump from circulating water. Remove the
hose and replace the filter cartridge as illustrated in Section 14.1.
3. Turn On Power
Turn on power to hot tub at the home’s circuit breaker to start boot
up sequence. The heater and filter/circulation pump will automatically
activate. If the control panel LCD flashes water temperature and
“COOL” or “ICE”, this is normal. Refer to page 62 for additional
information.
