Start Up
• If spa is a plug-in model, plug the power cord into the power point and switch the power on. If the spa is hard wired, turn
power on at the main isolator. When the unit is powered up, it is normal operation that the spa pumps may turn on and
run for up to 4 minutes depending on the type of controller.
• Chemical addition. Contact your local Authorised Spa Dealer in relation to the best chemical selection for your spa.
• To heat your spa adjust the Temperature Button up, or to decrease heat simply adjust the
Temperature Button down, depending on the model of the spa (Refer to your control instructions).
• Check for leaks, replace service access panels.
Note: Depending on water capacity, heater size and ambient temperature, it can take up to 12 hours to heat the spa to
approximately 38°C. Swim Spas will take possibly twice as long.
Spa Maintenance
You are responsible for the maintenance of your spa.
Hygiene
The ‘home’ environment can affect the condition of your spa water. You should always shower prior to entering your spa. Good
personal hygiene assists with water maintenance.
Our bodies need to adapt to the spa. Body oils will expel from your skin at a faster rate until your body adjusts to the spa
environment. The same will occur when your friends come over to enjoy your new spa.
This may mean your filters will need cleaning more frequently in these instances.
Cleanliness
Your spa should be kept free from dirt and grit at all times. This will minimize the likelihood of particles being lodged in the jets
or your spa’s operating equipment.
It is wise to have a mat or foot wash near your spa, so that the spa users can wipe their feet before they enter the spa.
Dirt and grit in your plumbing system is not covered by Warranty, and can cause damage to your spa.
Chemical Management
It is extremely important to maintain your water chemistry of your spa, not only for health reasons, but also for the protection
of spa components. The pH level should read between 7.2 and 7.8 to ensure clean water. The total alkalinity should read
between 80 and 120 parts per million. Making sure all these requirements are correct will ensure your spa is clean and free of
dirty water. If you don’t maintain your water within these requirements you are risking voiding your Warranty as well as making
your spa a breeding ground for disease. Your Authorised Spa Dealer can best guide you on the use of chemicals and what they
would recommend.
