2. Setup Guide
Proper setup is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of your PureSpa. Follow these steps carefully:
- Site Preparation: Choose a flat, level surface free of sharp objects. It is recommended to place a protective ground cloth or foam padding underneath the spa. Ensure the location has access to a suitable power outlet (120 Volts).
- Unpacking and Layout: Carefully unpack all components. Lay out the spa liner, control unit, and accessories in the chosen area.
- Inflation: Connect the inflation hose to the control unit and the spa's inflation valve. Inflate the spa until it is firm to the touch but not overinflated. The inner cover should also be inflated using the provided hose.
- Control Unit Connection: Attach the control unit to the spa by aligning the three holes and tightening the connections securely.
- Filter Installation: Screw on the two filter housings and insert the S2 filter cartridges.
- Filling the Spa: Fill the spa with water using a garden hose. Ensure the water level is between the minimum and maximum fill lines indicated on the spa wall.
- Initial Heating: Once filled, activate the heating system via the control panel. The spa will typically heat at a rate of approximately 2 degrees Fahrenheit per hour.

Hard Water Treatment System:

4. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and hygienic operation of your PureSpa.
Filter Cartridges:
The spa uses easy-to-replace filter cartridges (Type S2). It is recommended to clean the filter cartridges regularly (daily or every other day depending on usage) and replace them every few weeks to maintain optimal water quality. The integrated control box design allows for easy access and hassle-free cartridge replacement.

Water Chemistry:
Maintain proper water chemistry by regularly testing pH, alkalinity, and sanitizer levels. Use appropriate spa chemicals as directed by their manufacturers. For enhanced sanitization, an optional electrolytic cell (item# 28530E) can be purchased separately and plugged into the control unit.

Spa Cover:
Always use the energy-efficient spa cover when the spa is not in use. This high-density thermal-resistant foam cover provides extra insulation, minimizes heat loss, and improves energy efficiency by as much as 50%. It also adds a layer of safety by preventing accidental access.
