IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS

AVOIDING THE RISK TO CHILDREN

DANGER:

• RISK OF CHILD DROWNING. Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent unauthorized access

by children. To avoid accidents, ensure that children cannot use a spa unless they are supervised at

all times.

WARNING:

• To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely

supervised at all times.

• To reduce the risk of injury, lower water temperatures are recommended for young children. Children

are especially sensitive to hot water.

DO:

• Make sure you always lock the child resistant locks after using the spa for your children’s safety.

Every spa is equipped with a locking cover that meets the ASTM F1346-91 Standard for Safety

Covers.

• Test the water temperature with your hand before allowing your child to enter the spa to be sure that

it’s comfortable. Children are especially sensitive to hot water.

• Remind children that wet surfaces can be very slippery. Make sure that the children are careful when

entering or exiting the spa.

DON’T:

• Allow children to climb onto the spa cover.

• Allow children to have unsupervised access to the spa.

AVOIDING THE RISK OF ELECTROCUTION

Risk of electrocution

• Connect only to a grounded source.

• Do not bury the power cord. A buried power cord may result in death or serious personal injury due

to electrocution if direct burial-type cable is not used, or if improper digging occurs.

• A ground terminal (pressure wire connector) is provided on the control box inside the unit to permit

connection of a minimum No. 10 AWG solid copper bonding conductor between this point and any

metal equipment, metal water pipe, metal enclosures of electrical equipment, or conduit within 5 feet

(1.5 m) of the unit as needed to comply with local requirements.

WARNING:

• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, replace a damaged cord immediately. Failure to do so may

result in death or serious personal injury due to electrocution.

• Your 110V spa is provided with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter for user and equipment protection.

To ensure proper operation of this important safety device, test according to the following instructions

per electrical configuration.

1

SAFETY INFORMATION

110 VOLT CORD-CONNECTED 15 AMP MODELS:

• The GFCI is located at the end of the power cord. Before each use, with the unit operating, push

the TEST button. The unit should stop operating and the GFCI power indicator will go out. Wait 30

seconds and then reset the GFCI by pushing the RESET button. The GFCI power indicator will turn

on, restoring power to the spa. If the interrupter does not perform in this manner, there may be an

electrical malfunction and with it, the possibility of an electric shock. Disconnect the power until the

problem has been corrected. NOTE: This will reset the filter cycle.

230 VOLT, PERMANENTLY INSTALLED MODELS:

• A ground terminal is provided on the control box. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect this

terminal to the grounding terminal of your electrical service or subpanel with a continuous green,

insulated copper wire. The wire must be equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying the

equipment. In addition, a bonding terminal (pressure wire connector) is provided on the outside of

the control box for bonding to local ground points. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this connector

should be bonded with a No. 8 AWG solid copper wire to any metal ladders, water pipes, or other

metal within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the spa to comply with local requirements. The means of disconnection

must be readily accessible, but must be installed at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from the spa.

• Your spa requires a suitably rated circuit breaker to open all ungrounded supply conductors.

• Your spa must have a ground fault circuit interrupter in an electrical subpanel. Before each use of

the spa and with the unit operating, push the TEST button on the breaker. The switch should click

over to the “Trip” position. Wait 30 seconds and reset the GFCI breaker by switching it completely

off and then completely on. The switch should then stay on. If the breaker does not perform in

this manner, it is an indication of an electrical malfunction and the possibility of an electric shock.

Disconnect the power until the fault has been identified and corrected.

IMPORTANT: Failure to wait 30 seconds before resetting the GFCI may cause the spa’s Power

Indicator (on the control panel) to blink. If this occurs, repeat the GFCI test procedure.

DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK

• Install spa at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from all metal surfaces. A spa may be installed within 5 feet (1.5 m)

of a metal surface if each metal surface is permanently connected by a minimum No. 8 AWG solid

copper conductor attached to the wire ground connector on the terminal box that is provided for this

purpose if in accordance with National Electrical Code ANSI/NMFPA70-1993.

• Do not permit any electrical appliances, such as a light, telephone, radio, or television within 5 feet

(1.5 m) of a spa. Failure to maintain a safe distance may result in death or serious personal injury

due to electrocution if the appliance should fall into the spa.

• Install your spa in such a way that drainage is away from the electrical compartment and from all

electrical components.

DO:

• Be sure your spa is connected to the power supply correctly - use a licensed electrical contractor.

• Disconnect the spa from the power supply before draining the spa or servicing the electrical

components.

• Test the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter before each use.

DON’T:

• Use the spa with the equipment compartment door removed.

SAFETY INFORMATION

2

DON’T:

• Place electrical appliances within 5 feet (1.5m) of the spa.

• Use an extension cord to connect the spa to its power source. The cord may not be properly

grounded and the connection is a shock hazard. An extension cord may cause a voltage drop, which

will cause overheating of the jet pump motor and motor damage and void your warranty.

• Attempt to open the electrical control box. There are no user serviceable parts inside.

RISKS TO AVOID

DANGER: RISK OF INJURY

• DO NOT sit in the filter compartment area. Sitting in this area can cause:

a) Restriction of Filter Pump suction/vacuum b) Damage to components

• Both can result in bodily harm. Should damage occur to components in this area, replace

immediately!

To reduce the risk of injury to persons, DO NOT remove floating weir, basket, and filter located in

the filter compartment while the spa is running.

• The suction fittings in the spa are sized to match the specific water flow created by the pump. Never

replace a suction fitting with one rated less than the flow rate marked on the original suction fitting.

• There is a danger of slipping and falling. Remember that wet surfaces can be very slippery. Take

care when entering or exiting the spa.

• Never operate spa if the suction fittings are broken or missing.

• People with infectious diseases should not use the spa.

• Keep any loose articles of clothing or hanging jewelry away from rotating jets or other moving components.

Increased side effects of medication

• The use of drugs, alcohol or medication before or during spa use may lead to unconsciousness with

the possibility of drowning.

• Persons using medications should consult a physician before using a spa; some medication may

cause a user to become drowsy, while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and

circulation.

• Persons taking medications which induce drowsiness, such as tranquilizers, antihistamines or

anticoagulants should not use the spa.

Health problems affected by spa use

• Pregnant women should consult a physician before using spa.

• Persons suffering from obesity or with a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure,

circulatory system problems, or diabetes should consult a physician before using spa.

Unclean water

• Keep the water clean and sanitized with correct chemical care. The recommended levels for your

your spa are: Free Available Chlorine (FAC): 3.0-5.0 ppm Total Alkalinity: 40 - 120 ppm

Water pH: 7.2 - 7.8 Calcium Hardness: 75 - 150 ppm

IMPORTANT: Turn jet pump on for at least ten minutes after adding ANY spa water

chemicals into the filter compartment.

• Clean the filter cartridge monthly to remove debris and mineral buildup which may affect the

performance of the hydromassage jets, limit the flow, or trip the high-limit thermostat which will turn

off the entire spa.

SAFETY INFORMATION

AVOIDING THE RISK OF HYPERTHERMIA

Prolonged immersion in hot water can result in HYPERTHERMIA, a dangerous condition which

occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level above normal 98.6°F (37ºC).

The symptoms of hyperthermia include unawareness of impending hazard, failure to perceive

heat, failure to recognize the need to exit the spa, physical inability to exit the spa, fetal damage in

pregnant women, and unconsciousness resulting in a danger of drowning.

WARNING:

The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in hot

tubs and spas.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY:

• The water in the spa should never exceed 104°F (40°C). Water temperatures between 100°F

(38°C) and 104°F (40°C) are considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are

recommended for extended use (exceeding 10 minutes) and for young children. Extended use can

cause hyperthermia.

• Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit spa water temperatures to 100°F (38°C). Failure

to do so may result in permanent injury to your baby.

• Do not use spa immediately following strenuous exercise.

AVOIDING THE RISK OF SKIN BURNS:

• To reduce the risk of injury, before entering a spa the user should measure the water temperature

with an accurate thermometer.

• Test the water with your hand before entering the spa to be sure it’s comfortable.

SAFETY SIGN

A SAFETY SIGN is in the owner’s package. The sign, which is required as a condition of Product

Listing, should be permanently installed where it is visible to the users of the spa.

IMPORTANT SPA INSTRUCTIONS

The following contains important spa information, and we strongly encourage you to read and

apply them.

DO:

• Use and lock the vinyl cover when the spa is not in use, whether it is empty or full.

• Follow the Spa Care and Maintenance recommendations stated in this manual.

• Use only approved accessories and recommended spa chemicals and cleaners.

DON’T:

• Leave the spa exposed to the sun without water or the vinyl cover in place. Exposure to direct

sunlight can cause solar distress of the shell material.

• Roll or slide the spa on its side. This will damage the siding.

• Lift or drag the cover by using the cover lock straps; always lift or carry the cover by using the handles.

• Attempt to open the electrical control box. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Opening of the

control box by the spa owner will void the warranty. If you have an operational problem, carefully go

through the steps outlined in the Troubleshooting section. If you are not able to resolve the problem,

contact customer service at (888) 961-7727 Ext. 8440. Many problems can easily be diagnosed over

the telephone by an Authorized Service Technician.

PLANNING A LOCATION FOR YOUR SPA

Consider these things when determining where to place your spa.

SAFETY FIRST:

Make sure your spa is positioned so access to the equipment compartment and side panels

will not be blocked. Be certain your installation will meet all city and local safety codes and

requirements.

PLANNED USE OF SPA:

How you intend to use your spa will help you determine where you should position the spa. For

example, will you use it more for recreational or therapeutic purposes? If your spa is mainly for

family recreation, leave plenty of room around it for activity and lawn furniture. If you will use it

more for relaxation and therapy, you’ll probably want to create privacy mood around the spa.

PRIVACY:

Think of your surroundings during all seasons to determine your best privacy options. Consider

the view of your neighbors when you plan the location of your spa.

VIEWS:

Think about the direction you will be facing when sitting in your spa. Do you have a special

landscape you will find enjoyable? Perhaps there is an area that has a soothing breeze during the

day or a lovely sunset in the evening.

ENVIRONMENT:

If you live in a climate with a snowy winter and hot summer, a place to change clothes or a house

entry near the spa is convenient. A warmer climate may require shade from the hot sun. Consider

placement of trees, shrubs, patio cover or perhaps a gazebo structure to provide what you will

need. Indoor installations require adequate ventilation. When the spa is in use, considerable

amounts of moisture are produced. This moisture can damage walls and ceiling surfaces over

time. Special paint is available to resist moisture damage. Remember that spas periodically

require drainage, so plan your environment accordingly.

KEEP CLEAN:

Prevent dirt and foliage from being tracked into your spa by utilizing concrete for paths and access

areas. Check the location of spill paths from gutters, trees, and shrubs.

SERVICE ACCESS:

Many people choose to install tile or custom wood around their spas. If you are installing your tub

with custom decorative trimming, remember to allow for access to it for service. Should you need

service, a technician may need to remove the tub’s door panel, or access it from beneath. It is

always best to design special installations so the spa can still be moved, or lifted from the ground.

A GOOD FOUNDATION

Your new spa needs a good solid foundation. The area your spa sits on must be able to support

the spa, the water in it and those who use it. If the foundation is inadequate, it may shift or settle

after the spa is in place, causing stress to the shell or components.

INSTALLATION

6

BE AWARE:

Damage caused by inadequate or improper foundation support is not covered by the spa warranty.

It is the sole responsibility of the spa owner to provide a proper foundation for the spa.

Make sure the foundation where the spa is placed drains water away from the spa. Proper

drainage will keep components dry from rain and wet weather.

Your spa weight must always be considered when installing your spa. If you are installing it on an

elevated wood deck or other structure, it is advisable to consult a structural engineer or contractor

to ensure the structure will support the weight.

IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT A QUALIFIED, LICENSED CONTRACTOR

PREPARE THE FOUNDATION FOR YOUR SPA.

A reinforced concrete pad at least 4 inches (10 cm) thick is recommended for your spa. The

reinforcing rod or mesh in the pad should be attached to a bond wire.

INDOOR INSTALLATION:

Be aware of some special requirements if you place your spa indoors. Water will accumulate

around the spa, so flooring materials must provide a good grip when wet. Proper drainage is

essential to prevent a build-up of water around the spa. When building a new room for the spa, it

is recommended that a floor drain be installed. The humidity will naturally increase with the spa

installed. Water may get into woodwork and produce dryrot, mildew, or other problems. Check for

airborne moisture’s effects on exposed wood, paper, etc. in the room. To minimize these effects, it

is best to provide plenty of ventilation to the spa area. An architect can help to determine if more

ventilation must be installed.

PLACING THE SPA

CHECK THE DIMENSIONS OF YOUR SPA:

Compare the spa dimensions to the width of gates, sidewalks, and doorways along the delivery

route used to bring the spa into your yard. It may be necessary for you to remove a gate or

partially remove a fence in order to provide an unobstructed passageway to the installation

location. Also, keep in mind—if you are using special equipment to place your spa into an area it

will be necessary to include those measurements and weights.

PLANNING A DELIVERY ROUTE:

Check the width of gates, doors and sidewalks to make sure your spa will pass through

unobstructed. You may have to remove a gate or part of a fence to allow for adequate width

clearance. If the delivery route will require a 90-degree turn, check the measurements at the turn

to ensure the spa will fit. Check for protruding gas meters, water meters, A/C units, etc., on your

home which will cause obstructions along the delivery path to your yard. Check for low roof eaves,

over hanging branches or rain gutters that could be an obstruction to overhead clearances.

SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES:

The use of a crane for delivery and installation is primarily to avoid injury to your spa, your

property or to delivery personnel. Cranes are not considered “normal delivery”.

Initial start-up - When the spa is first powered up, the control system

begins a 2 minute Startup Mode. Different codes will display on the

screen. Once Startup Mode completes, the actual temperature is

displayed on the screen. The spa will then begin to heat and maintain

the water temperature and the first filter cycle will start. Your spa

has been designed so that it will automatically heat the water to the

factory set temperature of 100°F (38°C) unless you set the spa to a

different temperature. If power is disconnected from the spa, it

will automatically revert back to the last saved set temperature

when power is reapplied. Depending on your spa model you will

either have a one pump or two pump control panel as illustrated.

TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT

The temperature can only function between 80°F - 104°F (26.5°C - 40°C). The last measured temperature

will constantly display on LCD.

1 Pump Model - Press the Up or Down buttons to display the set temperature and indicator . Each time

either button is pressed again, the set temperature will increase or decrease depending on which button is

pressed. After five seconds, the LCD will automatically display the current spa temperature.

2 Pump Model - Press and hold the Temp button, the temperature will either go up or down. Release when

desired temperature is achieved. If desired temperature is in the opposite direction, press and hold a second

time to adjust the temperature and release when desired temperature is achieved.

The "Heat" indicator lights up when heating. It flashes when there is a request for more heat. Once set

temperature is reached the indicator shuts off, on the 230 volt models only the low speed of the jet pump

turns off after 30 seconds (if not in filter cycle).

JETS OPERATION

230 volt models: Firmly press the Jets (1) button once to activate the low speed of the pump and again

for the high speed. Firmly press the Jets (1) button again to turn off the pump. If left running the low or high

speed pump will automatically turn off after 1 hour. The "Jets" indicator light above the button will blink when

the jet pump is on low speed and is solid on high speed. On 2 pump models, press the Jets (2) button once

to activate jet pump 2 on high and press a second time to turn jet pump 2 off unless in a filter or heat cycle.

110 volt models: Press the Jets button once to turn on the pump and a second time to turn off the pump.

MULTI COLOR LED LIGHT

Press the Light button once to turn on the light, the light indicator next to the button is lit when the light is on.

Press the button again to turn the light off. Every time the light is quickly turned off and on a new light mode

will appear. The sequence is as follows: White, Full color wheel, Amber, Blue, Red, Green, Purple, color

wheel 1, color wheel 2 and abrupt color wheel. The last light mode used will come back on when the light is

turned off for more than 2 seconds.

NOTE: If left on, the light will automatically turn off after 4 hours of operation.

FILTER CYCLES

There are two filter cycles: the first cycle (F1) starts right after power up and the second cycle (F2) will start

12 hours later. The default duration for the first filter cycle is 1 hour, and 30 minutes for the second cycle.

Filter cycles (on 230 volt models) only run at low speed. The “Filter” indicator lights up when a filter cycle

is on. The duration of each filter cycle can be modified.

WARNING! DO NOT ENTER SPA IF WATER IS TOO HOT

Water is too hot. Overheat protection heater is deactivated. Spa water temperature is above acceptable

limits. When the actual water temperature is approximately 2º F (1º C) above the set temperature, the jet

pump will stop operating to reduce (frictional) heating. If the spa water temperature continues to rise and gets

above 108º F (42ºC), the spa will go into an “OH” overheat condition.

COMPONENT OPERATION

SPA COMPONENT OPERATION

AIR CONTROL VALVE

The air control valve serves to regulate the amount of air mixed with the water when the jets are

operational. Rotate the air control in one direction to achieve the maximum jet pressure and thera-

peutic action. Rotating the air control in the opposite direction to turn air off and allow the jets to

work with water only. Turn the air controls off when the spa is not in use, this will prevent cold air

from entering the spa and will keep heating cost to a minimum. The ozone jet (when equipped),

will always produce air bubbles.

DIVERTER VALVE (WHEN EQUIPPED)

The diverter valve on your spa allows you to direct the flow of water from the pump to one of two

combinations of jets. The function of the diverter valve can best be learned by experimentation.

Turn the large valve all the way to one side or the other to see which jets are on.

HYDROTHERAPY JETS

The hydrotherapy jets are recessed in the wall of the spa. Rotate the jet face one direction or the

other to turn the jets on or off. Not all jets have a rotational face to turn the jets on or off. Turning a jet

on or off will increase or decrease the effects of any jets “not” in the closed position.

OZONE GENERATOR (WHEN EQUIPPED)

The ozone system greatly enhances the quality of the spa water when used to supplement the spa

owner’s regular water maintenance program. Contrary to some information circulated throughout

the pool and spa industry regarding ozone systems, ozone CAN'T be used as a single-source

sanitizer, water clarifier, anti-foamer, and mineral chelating agent. A secondary source sanitizer

must be used to maintain 2.0 ppm (2.0 mg/L) of Free Available Chlorine (FAC). LIFESMART

recommends that a chemical maintenance program based on recognized and documented

industry standards still be followed when using an ozone purification system to assure water

sanitation and the highest quality purified water.

WATERFALL (WHEN EQUIPPED)

If your spa has a waterfall, there will also be a control valve to operate the amount of flow through

the waterfall from no flow to a steady stream. This valve will be located in various positions on the

spa depending on the model and some models have the valve attached to the waterfall.

Note: The air control valve and the waterfall flow valve may look exactly the same, however; they

are separate components.

16

FILL UP AND START-UP INSTRUCTIONS

The following procedures should be followed on initial startup and whenever the spa is drained for

routine maintenance.

FILLING THE SPA WITH WATER

1. Clear all the debris from your spa.

2. Be sure to open all jets to allow as much air as possible to

escape from the plumbing during the filling process.

3. Use a garden hose to fill your spa with water.

NOTE: Do not use hot or softened water.

4. As the water level rises, check inside the equipment

compartment for water leaks. It may be necessary to

tighten unions and/or fittings that may have loosened

during delivery. There is no need to call for service; this can

easily be done by you. If assistance is required, contact a

customer service representative at (888) 961-7727

Ext. 8440

5. Under normal circumstances keep the water level half

way between the top of the spa and grey filter ring or just

above the highest jets (whichever is higher). Keep in mind

that every person who enters the spa will create a certain

amount of water displacement, depending on their size and

weight; as a result you may need to reduce the amount

of water you normally have in the spa. To prevent the

water from hitting your topside control or flowing over the

top edge of the spa. Additionally, failure to keep enough

water in your spa may result in damage to your system &

invalidate your warranty. If your spa filter is sucking in air

causing the pump to cavitate, you need to add water!

6. Check the filter installation and make sure the filter is not

loose.

APPLYING POWER

1. Plug the spa into the 15 amp dedicated, grounded wall outlet,

or turn on power from Main Panel and 230V Sub Panel.

2. Press the Jets button on the topside control panel to activate the

spa. Rotate all the air control valves counterclockwise and observe the increased jet action.

3. While the pump is running, leaks may have occurred during transit. Check again for water

leaks at the drain cap, unions, or fittings in the equipment compartment. If water is leaking from

one of these areas, there is no need to call for service. Simply tighten the fitting. If assistance

is required, call a customer service representative at (888) 961-7727

Ext. 8440

.

4. After checking your spa for leaks it is now time to adjust your spa settings. Press the “Up”

or "Down" button on your topside control panel until the display indicates your desired

temperature is set.

ADDING START-UP CHEMICALS

WATER CHEMISTRY GUIDELINES

Spa water chemistry is ultimately the responsibility of the spa owner. Improper water chemistry

may result in costly repairs not covered under the spa warranty.

If unsure about any step in the

process, please contact a Customer Care Associate at

(888) 961-7727

Ext. 8440.

Initially, it is advisable to identify what minerals (e.g. iron) are present in the local source water. This will

provide a better understanding of how to treat the water. Please follow the four steps below and be sure to

achieve the correct levels in each area before moving onto the next step.

STEP #1: ESTABLISH PROPER PH LEVEL:

The recommended range for pH is between 7.2 and 7.8. Above 7.8, the water is too alkaline

and can result in cloudy water, and scale formation on the shell and heater. To lower the pH

use a pH Down/Decreaser (sodium bisulfate). Below 7.0 (considered neutral), the spa water

is too acidic and can damage the heating system. To increase pH, use a pH Up/Increaser

(sodium hydrogen carbonate). Any pH Up or Down should be added one teaspoon at a time,

waiting one-half hour between application and re-measuring.

STEP #2: MEASURE TOTAL ALKALINITY:

The Total Alkalinity is the amount of bicarbonates, carbonates, and hydroxides present in

the spa water. Proper total alkalinity is important for pH control. If the TA is too high, the pH

is difficult to adjust. If the TA is too low, the pH will be difficult to hold at the proper level.

The ideal range is between 40-120 parts per million (ppm). Reduce TA by using an Alkalinity

Down/Decreaser (sodium bisulfate). Increased TA by adding an Alkalinity Up/Increaser

(sodium bicarbonate or sodium hydrogen carbonate). These products should be added in

small amounts – a teaspoon at a time. After adding a teaspoon, wait one half hour before

re-measuring. Once the safe range of total alkalinity is established, proceed to the next step.

STEP #3: DETERMINE CALCIUM HARDNESS:

It is important to bring the calcium reading between 75-150 ppm. If the reading requires adjustment, it

should now be corrected. If the water is too soft (a low reading) calcium hardness should be added to

the water to increase the ppm reading. If the water is too hard (a high reading), it can be corrected by

either: (A) a mixture of hard and soft water added to attain a reading in the safe range, or (B) addition of

stain and scale control. If calcium hardness is a problem with the local source water (either too hard or

too soft) a test kit, which measures calcium hardness, is essential.

STEP #4: SANITIZING:

After steps 1-3 are complete, the spa must be sanitized using Chlorine (sodium dichlor). Add 2

teaspoons of Chlorine, and increase as necessary to reach a level of 3-5 ppm. Check and maintain

this level weekly, and before and after using the spa. IMPORTANT NOTE: A granulated sodium dichlor

is highly recommended for sanitizing spa water

,

granular bromine may also be used. Never use

compressed sanitizers even with a floater. As with any other chemicals, the sanitizer should be

introduced to the spa with the jets running a minimum of 10 minutes.

WEEKLY SHOCK:

Using a potassium monopersulfate (MPS) shock, add approximately 2 oz. (60 ml) into the filter bucket

while the jets are running. Shocking is achieved by adding the MPS to turbulent water. Leave the cover

off and jets on for 10 minutes. Then shut jets off and return the cover to the closed position to maintain

heat.
