Setup
Setting up your SimpleSpa hot tub is designed to be straightforward. While assembly is required, many users find the process easy to follow. It is recommended to review the included instructions thoroughly before beginning.
- Site Selection: Choose a flat, stable, and clean surface for your hot tub. Ensure it is free from sharp objects and can support the weight of the filled spa (approximately 210 gallons of water plus occupants).
- Ground Cloth Placement: Lay down the included thermal ground cloth to provide insulation and protection for the base of the spa.
- Inflation: Unfold the hot tub and connect the QuickFill inflation system. Inflate the spa until it is firm but not overinflated.
- Control Unit Connection: Attach the sleek and compact all-in-one control unit to the hot tub.
- Filling: Fill the hot tub with water to the recommended level.
- Initial Heating: Once filled, activate the heating system. Note that initial heating may take several hours to reach the desired temperature.
