4. Setup Instructions

The Wave Aegean hot tub is designed for a quick setup, typically within 15 minutes.

4.1 Site Selection

Choose a flat, level surface capable of supporting the weight of the hot tub filled with water and occupants (approximately 240 gallons + 6 people). Ensure the area is free from sharp objects and has access to a suitable electrical outlet with RCD protection.

4.2 Inflation

1. Unfold the hot tub liner on the selected site.
2. Connect the inflation hose to the hot tub's air valve and the integrated pump unit.
3. Plug in the pump unit and activate the inflation function. Inflate until the hot tub walls are firm to the touch, but not over-inflated.
4. Disconnect the inflation hose and securely close the air valve cap.

4.3 Filling with Water

Fill the hot tub with fresh water using a garden hose. Fill to the recommended water level indicated on the inside of the hot tub liner.

4.4 Filter Installation

Install the two filter cartridges into their respective housings inside the hot tub, ensuring they are securely threaded. Place the filter covers over them.

5.2 Anti-Freeze Protection

The hot tub features an anti-freeze protection system. When the ambient temperature drops below a certain threshold, the heater will automatically activate to prevent water from freezing, protecting the internal components. Ensure the hot tub remains plugged in during cold weather conditions.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance is crucial for the performance and longevity of your hot tub.

6.1 Filtration System

The integrated filtration system uses replaceable threaded filters to keep your water clean. Check and clean the filter cartridges regularly (daily or every other day depending on usage) by rinsing them with a garden hose. Replace filters every 1-2 weeks or when they appear worn or discolored.

6.2 Water Treatment

Maintain proper water chemistry using appropriate hot tub chemicals (e.g., sanitizers, pH adjusters). Test the water regularly and adjust chemical levels as needed to ensure safe and clean water.

6.3 Draining and Cleaning

Drain the hot tub completely every 1-3 months, depending on usage. Clean the interior surface with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Rinse thoroughly before refilling.
