Setup Guide
Follow these steps for a successful setup:
- Choose Location: Select a flat, stable, and clear area, preferably on a ground mat, away from direct sunlight and potential damage. Ensure proximity to a GFCI-protected electrical outlet.
- Inflate: Connect the pump to the air valve and inflate the spa structure using the pump's inflation function. Ensure it is firm but not over-inflated.
- Install Filter: Place the filter cartridge into its housing within the pump unit.
- Fill with Water: Connect a garden hose to the spa's inlet and fill it to the indicated water level (usually marked inside the spa). Do not overfill.
- Connect Power: Plug the pump unit into the GFCI-protected outlet. The spa will typically enter standby mode.
Operation
Once set up and filled, you can operate your spa:
- Heating: Use the control panel to set your desired water temperature. The spa will automatically heat the water. The heating indicator light (?) will illuminate.
- Massage Jets: Activate the AirJet™ system via the control panel to enjoy the therapeutic bubbles. The jets will operate for a set period before automatically shutting off for safety.
- Filtration: The pump automatically runs a filtration cycle to keep the water clean.
- Cover: Always replace the inflatable cover when the spa is not in use to conserve heat and maintain water quality.
Maintenance & Care
Regular maintenance ensures water clarity and spa longevity:
- Water Chemistry: Test and adjust water balance regularly using appropriate spa chemicals (e.g., chlorine, pH balancers). Follow chemical manufacturer instructions.
- Filter Cleaning/Replacement: Clean the filter cartridge weekly and replace it every 1-2 months, or as needed.
- Draining: Drain the spa completely every 3-4 weeks or when water becomes difficult to maintain. Use the drain valve, ensuring the drain hose is directed to a suitable drainage point.
- Cleaning: Wipe down the spa interior and exterior with a mild soap and water solution.
- Winterizing: If storing the spa for winter, ensure it is thoroughly cleaned, dried, and stored in a protected area.
Troubleshooting
Common issues and their solutions:
- Spa not heating: Check power connection, ensure temperature is set correctly, verify filter is clean and water level is adequate.
- Low jet pressure: Ensure the AirJet™ system is activated, check for blockages in the jet nozzles, and confirm the filter is clean.
- Error Codes: Refer to specific error code tables in the full manual for detailed troubleshooting. (e.g., E01: Low water flow, E02: Pump failure).
