29. WARNINGÑTo reduce the risk of injury: The  
water temperature should never exceed  
104¡F. Temperatures between 100¡F and  
104¡F are considered to be safe for healthy  
adults. However, if you plan to remain in the  
hydrotherapy spa for more than 10 to 15 min-  
utes, a lower temperature is recommended.  
Lower temperatures are also recommended  
for children. Children should not be allowed  
to swim under the surface of the water in the  
spa.  
22. WARNINGÑThe power cord is equipped with  
a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI),  
located at the end of the power cord. The  
GFCI must be tested before each use. To test  
the GFCI, press the ÒtestÓ button while the  
spa is running. The spa should shut off.  
Press the ÒresetÓ button. The spa should  
resume normal operation. If the spa contin-  
ues to run after the ÒtestÓ button is pressed,  
then the GFCI is damaged. Do not use the  
hydrotherapy spa until the GFCI has been  
repaired or replaced by a qualified electri-  
cian.  
30. WARNINGÑTo reduce the risk of injury:  
Always use an accurate thermometer to  
determine the water temperature before  
using the hydrotherapy spa.  
23. DANGERÑRisk of electric shock. Keep all  
electrical appliances such as radios, tele-  
phones, televisions and lights at least five  
feet away from the water.

32. DANGERÑTo reduce the risk of drowning:  
Prolonged immersion in the hydrotherapy  
spa may cause hyperthermia, a dangerous  
condition which occurs when the internal  
body temperature rises several degrees  
above the normal body temperature of 98.6¡F.  
The symptoms of hyperthermia are nausea,  
dizziness, drowsiness and fainting. Effects  
include: a lack of awareness, inability to per-  
ceive heat or danger and a greater risk of  
drowning due to a loss of consciousness.  
Special note: Individuals suffering from  
hyperthermia may be unable to realize that  
they must exit the hydrotherapy spa, and  
they also may be physically unable to do so.  
25. DANGERÑRisk of electric shock: Do not set  
up the hydrotherapy spa within five feet of  
any metal objects or surfaces. As an alterna-  
tive, you may use the hydrotherapy spa with-  
in five feet of metal objects if each metal  
object is permanently connected to the wire  
connector on the pump motor of this unit by  
a minimum No. 8 AWG (804 mm2) solid cop-  
per conductor (see instruction 24).  
26. Do not operate the pump motor when the spa  
is empty. The pump motor may be seriously  
damaged if it is operated without water circu-  
lating.  
33. WARNINGÑTo reduce the risk of drowning:  
Do not use the hydrotherapy spa if you are  
under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Heat  
from the water, in conjunction with alcohol or  
drugs can cause loss of consciousness.

extreme caution to prevent unauthorized and  
unsupervised use of the hydrotherapy spa by  
children. Children must always be super-  
vised.  
34. WARNINGÑTo reduce the risk of injury or  
drowning: Consult your physician about pos-  
sible side-effects of any medications you  
may be taking before using the hydrotherapy  
spa. Heat from the water, in conjunction with  
some medications may cause drowsiness  
and increase the risk of drowning. Other  
medications can effect blood pressure, heart

and contact a physician.  
Hyperthermia occurs when the internal tem-  
perature of the body reaches a level of sever-  
al degrees above the normal body tempera-  
ture of 98.6ûF. The symptoms of hyperthermia  
include an increase in the internal tempera-  
ture of the body, dizziness, lethargy, drowsi-  
ness and fainting. The effects of hyperther-  
mia include failure to perceive heat; failure to  
recognize the need to exit the spa or hot tub;  
unawareness of impending hazard; fetal  
damage in pregnant women; physical inabili-  
ty to exit the spa or hot tub and uncon-  
sciousness resulting in danger of drowning.  
WARNING: The use of alcohol, drugs or med-  
ication can greatly increase the risk of fatal  
hyperthermia.

Choosing a Location for the Hydrotherapy Spa  
There are many factors to consider when choosing a location to set up the hydrotherapy spa. These factors vary  
depending on whether you use the hydrotherapy spa inside or outside. We have listed several factors you may  
wish to consider as you decide where you want to use the hydrotherapy spa.  
If you set up the hydrotherapy spa inside:  
If you set up the hydrotherapy spa outside:  
1. The hydrotherapy spa will increase the level of  
humidity in your home. The location you choose  
should be well ventilated. You may need to install  
a ventilation fan or use a dehumidifier.  
1. You should check your local building codes con-  
cerning the use of outdoor spas.  
2. The location must be close to an electrical outlet.  
Do not use an extension cord with the  
hydrotherapy spa.

3. The hydrotherapy spa should be close to a source  
of water.  
3. The hydrotherapy spa should be close to a source  
of water.  
4. We recommend that you place the hydrotherapy  
spa on a water- and stain-resistant, non-slip sur-  
face. Do not use the hydrotherapy spa on rough  
or sharp surfaces such as gravel or wood chips.  
4. Do not use the hydrotherapy spa on carpet or  
other material that may be damaged by moisture.  
We recommend that you place the hydrotherapy  
spa on a water- and stain-resistant, non-slip sur-  
face with a floor drain for any water that may  
splash from the hydrotherapy spa.  
5. Be sure that the location you choose is stable. It  
must be able to support the weight of the  
hydrotherapy spa when it is filled with water, plus  
the weight of the occupants. The hydrotherapy  
spa weighs approximately 1800 pounds when  
filled with water.

6. Think about environmental factors, such as rain,  
wind, shade, sunlight etc.  
7. You should be able to monitor the use of the  
hydrotherapy spa from your home, to prevent  
unauthorized use by children. You may want to  
enclose the spa with a fence and self-latching  
gate to prevent unauthorized use.  
6. Do not use the hydrotherapy spa above a finished  
living area, due to the risk of water damage.  
7. Be sure that there is room around the hydrothera-  
py spa to permit servicing of the unit. The dimen-  
sions of the spa are 70ÓW x 70ÓL x 29ÓH. You  
should allow for this size when choosing the loca-  
tion.

Using the Hydrotherapy Spa  
The hydrotherapy spa is designed to seat four adults.  
The eight jets provide a relaxing massage to sooth  
away stress, and the strength of the water massage  
can be adjusted by the air control. The hydrotherapy  
spa holds 200 gallons of water and offers a heating  
system (70¡F to 104¡F) and a filtration system.  
TESTING AND TREATING THE WATER  
The hydrotherapy spa comes with a starter chemical  
pack for maintaining the water in the spa. Disregard  
the directions on the individual packages of ÒQUICK  
pHix It DOWNÓ and ÒQUICK pHix It UP.Ó However, the  
directions on the bottle of ÒNon-chlorine ShoxÓ and  
ÒBromine BaseÓ are correct. Always keep the chemi-  
cals away from children and pets.  
The guidelines below explain how to properly use the  
hydrotherapy spa. Follow these guidelines to maintain  
the hydrotherapy spa for your long-term enjoyment.  
The first time you use the spa, you should test and  
treat the water. You must also treat the water each  
time you refill the spa. Once you have verified that  
the spa is functioning properly, and have allowed the  
water to circulate for a while, you should remove the  
spa cover and add 1/3 of the ÒBromine BaseÓ bottle,  
and 1/3 of the ÒNon-chlorine ShoxÓ bottle to the water  
in the spa. Allow the water to circulate for five min-  
utes. You should now test the pH level of the water by  
using the included test strips. Refer to the test strip  
packaging for instructions on using the test strips. The  
pH reading should be between 7.2 and 7.8.  
PLUGGING IN THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA  
Once the hydrotherapy spa is filled with water, the  
power cord can be plugged in and the spa can be  
turned on. Note: The first time the power cord is  
plugged in, the spa will turn on automatically.  
When connecting the power cord, plug the power cord  
directly into a grounded circuit capable of carrying 15  
or more amps. No other appliance should be on the  
same circuit. Replace the power cord immediately if it  
becomes damaged.  
If the level is too low, add half of one of the ÒQUICK  
pHix It UPÓ packets to the water. Let the water circu-  
late through the spa for five minutes. Test the pH level  
again. Repeat until the pH level is correct.  
The power cord is equipped with a Ground Fault  
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), located at the end of the  
power cord. You should always test the GFCI before  
using the hydrotherapy spa.  
If the level is too high, add half of one of the ÒQUICK  
pHix It DOWNÓ packets to the water. Let the water cir-  
culate through the spa for five minutes. Test the pH  
level again. Repeat until the pH level is correct.  
Grounded circuit capable of  
carrying 15 or more amps  
See WATER CHEMISTRY on page 14 for information  
concerning proper water maintenance.  
Test and Reset  
Buttons  
STARTING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA  
Once you have tested the GFCI, you should verify the  
water flow from the pumping unit. Set the air control  
on the console to the lowest setting (see USING THE  
CONSOLE on page 12). The pumping unit will heat  
the water as it pumps. Cover the hydrotherapy spa  
with the spa cover. The spa cover must be tight  
(see SECURING THE SPA COVER on page 11). The  
water will heat at about 1.8¡F an hour with the cover  
on. If you are using the hydrotherapy spa indoors,  
and the room temperature is maintained at 70¡F, it will  
take approximately 18 to 22 hours for the water to  
reach the set temperature.  
GFCI  
First, turn on the hydrotherapy spa by pressing the  
On/Off Switch on the console. Once the unit is run-  
ning, press the GFCI ÒtestÓ button. The hydrotherapy  
spa should shut off. Press the ÒresetÓ button. The  
hydrotherapy spa should resume normal operation. If  
the hydrotherapy spa continues to run after the ÒtestÓ  
button is pressed, then the GFCI is damaged. Do not  
use the hydrotherapy spa until the GFCI has been  
repaired or replaced by a qualified electrician.  
The temperature and water flow can be set or  
changed by the controls on the console (see USING  
THE CONSOLE on page 12).

USING THE CONSOLE  
The spa also features an automatic mode which heats  
and filters the water when the spa is left unattended.  
When the spa is first plugged in, or if the buttons on  
the console have not been used for longer than twen-  
ty minutes, the automatic mode will begin filtering or  
heating the water, as needed. Note: To keep the fil-  
ter and heat cycles from running, the power cord  
must be unplugged.  
Refer to the console diagram above. The function of  
each console control is explained below:  
Air Control: Determines the amount of air that is in  
the spa jet system during operation. If the control is  
turned to the left, the amount of air flowing through  
the jets will increase. If the control is turned to the  
right, the amount will decrease.  
Thermostat: Controls the temperature of the water.  
The water heats at about 1.8¡F an hour with the cover  
on. The thermostat can be set to heat the water from

Maintenance  
The hydrotherapy spa is designed to provide you with  
years of enjoyment. Please follow the guidelines  
below to properly maintain your hydrotherapy spa.  
MAINTAINING THE SPA COVER  
The spa cover should be cleaned monthly. To clean  
the spa cover, use water and a non-abrasive cleaner  
on the entire cover. Rinse the cover with a garden  
hose to remove any cleaner residue. Dry the cover  
entirely. You should also use a non-silicone based  
vinyl conditioner on the cover after you clean it. This  
will help protect the cover from sun damage.  
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE  
DAILY  
¥ Check the water level and refill the spa to the level  
shown on page 9, step 3.  
¥ Check the pH balance and sanitizer level. Adjust if  
necessary (see WATER CHEMISTRY on page 14).  
¥ Clean the surface of the water with a skimming net.  
SANITIZING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA  
Please refer to your local pool and spa supplier for  
information concerning which chemicals you should  
use in your area to sanitize the spa.  
WEEKLY  
¥ Clean the spa shell at the waterline.  
¥ Check and thoroughly clean the filter (see CHECK-  
ING AND CLEANING THE FILTER on this page).  
¥ Replace the filter if needed (see ORDERING  
REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover).  
The most common sanitizing agent is a solid bromine  
concentrate. The amount required varies according to  
several factors, such as user load, temperature, water  
conditions etc.  
MONTHLY  
¥ Clean the spa cover (see MAINTAINING THE SPA  
COVER below).  
¥ Soak the filter for two hours in a trisodium phos-  
phate (TSP) solution. Rinse the filter in clean water.  
¥ Replace the filter if needed (see ORDERING  
REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover).  
Proper water maintenance is a fairly complex process.  
We recommend that you contact your local pool and  
spa supplier for information on how you should best  
accomplish this.  
CHECKING AND CLEANING THE FILTER  
EVERY THREE MONTHS  
¥ Drain the spa and refill with clean water. Sanitize  
and test the pH of the water.  
The filter should be checked periodically for build-up  
of dirt and oil. If the filter needs to be cleaned, follow  
the steps below:  
¥ Check for any leaks around the pump or joints in  
the pipes. The seals will wear out over time; detect-  
ing leaks early can reduce repair costs.  
¥ Clean the interior of the spa. Do not use solvents or  
waxes.

4. Check the filter for  
any dirt or debris.  
If the filter needs  
to be cleaned,  
The wood panel exterior has been treated with a  
sealant at the factory to protect the wood from water  
damage. We suggest that you treat the wood finish  
twice a year with an additional coat of weather  
sealant. Contact your local spa and pool supplier for  
advice on which sealants work best in your climate.

CLEANING THE SPA SHELL  
rinse the filter with  
a hose. If the filter is still dirty, you will need to  
soak it in a cleaning solution which can be  
obtained from a pool and spa supply store.  
5. Inspect the filter for damage. Replace the filter if  
there are any signs of damage.  
The spa shell should be cleaned with a mild soap  
solution. Do not use solvents. The spa should always  
be clean and dry before being moved or stored.

6. Re-insert the cleaned filter into the filter housing.  
7. Re-attach the filter cover with the screws. Do not  
overtighten the screws.  
ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE ACCESS  
COVER  
To remove the access cover, remove the four access  
cover screws from the access cover. Slide the access  
cover down and pull the bottom of the access cover  
away from the spa unit. Be careful not to damage  
the spa shell as you remove the cover.  
WATER CHEMISTRY  
The hydrotherapy spa comes with a starter chemical  
pack for maintaining the water in the spa. (See TEST-  
ING AND TREATING THE WATER on page 10.)  
Additional chemicals can be purchased at a pool and  
spa supply store.  
CAUTION: The chemicals used to maintain the pH  
balance of the water and to sanitize the water can  
be dangerous. Always follow these basic guide-  
lines when handling the chemicals:  
1. Always read and follow the directions on the  
label, unless directed otherwise.  
Access Cover  
2. Never mix different chemicals.  
3. Do not exceed the recommended amounts of  
chemicalsÑfollow the directions on the label  
closely.  
4. Keep all chemicals out of the reach of children  
and pets.  
Access Cover  
Screws  
5. Keep all containers closed tightly when not in  
use.  
6. Never add water to the chemicalsÑalways add  
the chemicals to the water as directed.  
7. Always store chemicals in a cool, dry place.  
To replace the access cover, insert the top of the  
cover under the edge of the spa shell. Slide the cover  
up until the bottom of the cover will clear the trim  
along the bottom of the spa unit. Slide the cover into  
place and re-attach the four cover screws.  
MAINTAINING THE PROPER PH BALANCE  
DRAINING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA  
The pH factor is a measure of relative acidity or alka-  
linity in the water. It is measured on a scale of 1 to 14.  
Pure water has a value of 7, which is neutral. Any  
value above 7 is alkaline, and any value below 7 is  
acidic. You should maintain a slightly alkaline pH  
level, between 7.2 and 7.8, in the hydrotherapy spa.  
The hydrotherapy spa should be drained at least four  
times a year and refilled with clean water. You may  
need to drain the spa more often, depending on the  
user load. This must be done, because after repeated  
chemical treatment, the water becomes chemically  
saturated. Once this happens, additional chemical  
treatment of the water is no longer effective. The spa  
should also be drained if you will not be using it for  
long periods of time. The spa must always be drained  
before major repairs are made.  
Severe problems can occur when the pH balance is  
not maintained within this range. If the pH level  
exceeds 7.8, dissolved minerals can build-up and clog  
the plumbing in the spa jet unit. If the pH level falls  
below 7.2, the acid level in the water will begin to cor-  
rode the metal parts in the spa jet unit. Also, the sani-  
tation agents in the water will not be effective if the pH  
level is not properly maintained. Damage caused by  
improper pH levels is not covered under the warranty.  
The hydrotherapy spa should always be covered  
when it is empty. Direct sunlight can cause exten-  
sive damage. The surface of the spa shell can  
reach temperatures as high as 150¡F in a matter  
of minutes if exposed to the sun while it is empty.  
These high temperatures can cause significant  
damage, such as blistering of the shell surface  
and warping of the spa shell. Any damage caused  
by sun exposure is not covered under warranty.  
To maintain the proper pH level, you should test the  
pH of the water regularly. To test the water, you can  
either purchase additional test strips or purchase a pH  
test kit at a pool and spa supply store. The pH read-  
ing should be between 7.2 and 7.8. If the level is too  
low, add a pH increaser (usually soda ash). If the  
level is too high, add a pH reducer (usually sodium  
bisulfate). Test the water again after five minutes. See  
the instructions with your pH test kit for additional  
information about testing and adjusting the pH.  
To drain the hydrotherapy spa, follow these steps:  
1. Set the temperature control on the console to the  
lowest setting.  
2. Shut off the circuit breaker or GFCI.  
3. Remove the access cover from the back of the

spa unit.  
ACCESS COVER on page 14). Locate the pump  
inside the spa unit. Remove the drain plug from the  
pump and allow all water to drain from the pump.  
Replace the drain plug.  
4. Remove the drainage hose from the spa and  
attach a garden hose to the valve on the drainage  
hose.  
5. Open the valve by turning the knob counterclock-  
wise. The water will begin to drain.  
6. When the spa is empty, close the valve and  
remove the garden hose. Return the drainage  
hose to the clip and replace the access cover.  
7. Refill the spa and treat the water with chemicals  
(see pages 10 and 14).  
WINTER USE AND CARE  
The hydrotherapy spa is designed for year-round use.  
If you decide to store the hydrotherapy spa for the win-  
ter, store it in a warm, dry location. Follow the steps  
below to winterize the hydrotherapy spa.  
1. Drain the spa (see DRAINING THE  
HYDROTHERAPY SPA on the previous page and  
this page).  
2. Remove all remaining water from the spa shell.  
Dry the spa shell with towels.  
Pump

3. Set the air control on the console to the lowest  
setting. Use a wet/dry vacuum to pull any remain-  
ing water from the system. To do this, place the  
vacuum nozzle over each jet, starting with the  
highest jet and finishing with the lowest one.  
4. Set the air control on the console to the highest  
setting and repeat step 3.  
5. Drain the pump (see DRAINING THE PUMP on  
this page). Once the water has drained from the  
pump, place the vacuum nozzle over the drainage  
hole in the pump and vacuum any additional water  
from the pump. Note: For additional protection  
you can remove the pump/motor from the spa  
to store it in a climate-controlled room.
