Start Up Instructions
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 formu-
lated hot tub cleaner and wax available from your dealer prior to filling
the first time.)
• Remove the filter.
2. FILL THE HOT TUB
• Place the end of your garden hose into the pipe exposed when you
removed the filter cartridge.
Important: Always fill your hot tub through the filter pipe after draining.
Failure to do so may cause air to be trapped in the pump, preventing the
pump from circulating water.
NOTE: Never fill with water from a water softener. If your water is extreme-
ly “hard”, it is preferable to fill half-way with hard water and the rest of the
way with softened water. Or, you may fill entirely with hard water if you use
a special water additive available from your Sweetwater dealer.
• Fill the hot tub until the water level is above all jets. Warning: Do not
over-fill.
• Remove the hose and replace the filter cartridge.
3. TURN ON THE POWER
Turn on the power to the hot tub at the home’s circuit breaker. The heater
and the pump’s low speed automatically activate and the LED display on
the control panel shows the water temperature.
4. ACTIVATE JETS
Press the JETS or JETS 1 button on the control panel once to activate
pump 1 in low speed. Press the button a second time to activate pump 1
in high speed and initiate maximum water flow to certain jets.
5. ADD START-UP CHEMICALS
Add the hot tub water chemicals as recommended by your Sweetwater
Dealer. (See the section titled MAINTAINING WATER QUALITY (page
23 ) for
general guidance.)
