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.

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-

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.

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.

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
70¡F to 104¡F. You should use a medical or other
accurate thermometer to check the temperature of the
water.
On/Off Button: Turns the spa on and off. When you
first press the on/off button, the spa jet unit will run at
low speed, providing gentle hydrotherapy. Press the
button again and the spa will run at high speed, pro-
viding more intense hydrotherapy. Press the button a
third time, and the spa will shut off.

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.

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.

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
Motor
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.
