Problem Solution
The pump has been connected to the wrong band If the router your pump is connected to is dual-band and currently not connecting to a 2.4GHz network, please switch to another band of the same router (2.4GHz) and try to pair pump heater again. 5GHz networks are not supported.
The spa pump location is too far from the router. Check with your cell phone to see if there is full Wi-Fi signal. In case the strength of the signal on your phone is too low, check where the strength of the Wi-Fi signal is full and place the spa in that position.
Set up the wrong Network Name Start the connection procedures again and be sure that the network name is typed correctly.
The Wi-Fi password used during the connection is wrong Start the connection procedures again and be sure that the password is correct.
The strength of the Wi-Fi signal is not stable 1) Check if the router works correctly.
2) Go near the spa and check the signal on your phone. In case the signal strength is not stable, check the condition of your router. In case the signal strength is full, repeat the operation to connect the spa to the network.
There is an appliance near the spa pump or the router that creates Signal Interference The Wi-Fi connectivity can be interrupted by electromagnetic or other interferences. Keep the appliance away from other electronic devices that may cause interferences.

Maintenance

NOTE: Your spa will require additional air to be added from time to time. Changes in temperature from day to night will change the pressure in the spa and may cause a certain amount of deflation. Please follow the Assembly instructions and drain the spa before inflating to the accurate pressure needed.

CAUTION: YOU MUST ENSURE THE PUMP IS UNPLUGGED BEFORE BEGINNING SPA MAINTENANCE TO AVOID RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH.

Filter Cartridge Maintenance

NOTE: To ensure your spa water stays clean, check and clean your filter cartridges every day follow the steps below.

Filter Cartridge: 58323

Filter Set: P04674

NOTE: We recommend changing your filter cartridges every week or, if the filter cartridges remain soiled and discolored, they should be replaced.

Water Maintenance

Keeping your spa water clean and chemically balanced is necessary. Simply cleaning the filter cartridge is not enough for proper maintenance, we recommend you use pool chemicals to maintain water chemistry and chlorine or bromine tablets (do not use granules) with the chemical dispenser.

NOTE: We recommend you take a shower before using your SaluSpa, as cosmetic products, lotions, and other residues on the skin can quickly degrade water quality. To use the chemical dispenser, please follow the below instruction.

Using chemical tablets (not included): [image of chemical tablets]

Using chemical liquid (not included): [image of chemical liquid dispenser]

NOTE: Remove the chemical dispenser from spa when the spa is in use.

IMPORTANT: After performing chemical maintenance and before using the spa, use a test kit (not included) to test the water chemistry. We recommend maintaining your water as below table.

pH Total Alkalinity Free Chlorine
7.4-7.6 80-120ppm 2-4ppm

NOTE: Damage resulting from chemical imbalance is not covered by the warranty. Pool chemicals are potentially toxic and should be handled with care. There are serious health risks from chemical vapors and the incorrect labeling and storage of chemical containers. Please consult your local pool supply retailer for more information about chemical maintenance. Pay close attention to the chemical manufacturer's instructions. Spa damage resulting from misuse of chemicals and mismanagement of spa water is not covered by the warranty.

Storage

Draining the Spa

[Diagrams showing spa draining steps 1-8]

NOTE: Lift up the spa when there is only a little water left. Damages to the handles are not covered under the warranty.

Cleaning the spa

Detergent residues and dissolved solids from bathing suits and chemicals may build up on the spa walls. Use soap and water to clean the walls and rinse thoroughly.

NOTE: DO NOT use hard brushes or abrasive cleaners.

DEFLATION

[Diagrams showing deflation steps 1-2 with part numbers]
