4. Setup Instructions
- Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Check for any damage or missing parts.
- Site Selection: Choose a flat, stable, and level surface for your spa. Ensure the area can support the weight of the filled spa (approximately 95 kg dry weight + water weight + occupants). Consider proximity to a grounded electrical outlet and a drainage point.
- Spa Placement: Position the octagonal spa unit in the desired location.
- Furniture Assembly & Arrangement: The furniture modules require minimal assembly. Arrange the five modules around the spa unit according to your preference. Ensure the 'Motor Block Cover' module is positioned to house the external pump/heater unit.
- Connecting the Pump/Heater Unit: Connect the external pump/heater unit to the spa according to the markings on the spa and unit. Ensure all connections are secure and watertight.
- Filling the Spa: Fill the spa with fresh water using a garden hose. Fill to the recommended water level indicated inside the spa. Do not overfill.
- Initial Power-Up: Once filled, connect the spa to the grounded electrical outlet. The control panel on the pump/heater unit should illuminate.

5. Operating Instructions
The spa's functions are controlled via the digital control panel on the external pump/heater unit.
- Power Button: Press to turn the spa system on or off.
- Temperature Setting: Use the up/down arrows to set your desired water temperature. The spa will automatically heat the water to the set temperature.
- Bubble Function: Press the bubble button to activate the air jet massage system. Press again to turn off. Do not run the bubble function for extended periods without occupants, as it can cool the water.
- Filtration System: The filtration system runs automatically to keep the water clean. You can typically set a filtration cycle duration or activate it manually. Refer to the control panel's specific icons for detailed operation.
- Heating Indicator: An indicator light will show when the heater is active.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance is crucial for the performance and longevity of your spa.
- Water Quality: Regularly test your spa water using test strips. Adjust pH, alkalinity, and sanitizer levels (e.g., chlorine or bromine) as needed to maintain proper water balance.
- Filter Cartridge: Clean the filter cartridge regularly (e.g., weekly) by rinsing it with a hose. Replace the filter cartridge every 1-3 months, depending on usage and water quality.
- Draining and Cleaning: Drain the spa completely every 1-3 months. Clean the interior surface with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Rinse thoroughly before refilling.
- Winterization: If you plan to store the spa during winter, ensure it is completely drained, cleaned, and dried. Disconnect and store the pump/heater unit indoors in a dry, frost-free environment.
- Furniture Care: Clean the furniture modules with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. Store indoors or cover during prolonged periods of non-use or harsh weather.
