Swim Spa
START UP PROCEDURES
Follow recommendations for site location and
electrical connection.
1. Use standard “tap water” to ll the
Swim Spa by draping a garden hose
over the wall. Take care to wrap the metal
end of the hose with a soft cloth or set the
end of the hose in the lter canister to
protect the Swim Spa surface from
the metal end of the hose. The metal end
of your hose can become rough or jagged
and may scratch the surface of your
Swim Spa, and this damage is not
covered under your warranty. Fill the
Swim Spa until the water level is 4 1/2” to
5” from the top lip.
Never use “softened” water in your pool
or spa. Softened water can impact the
chemical balance of the water and lead to
degradation of metal plumbing ttings.
2. After you have assured that the
Swim Spa is full of water and that all
plumbing valves are open, turn power on
at circuit breaker or disconnect panel.
3. Open the air controls, located on the top
lip, and cycle the jets from high to low.
Water should come from the therapy jets. If
water ow is not established, turn o jets
and see Priming Your Swim Spa
(this page).
4. Add chemicals. See Chemical Treatment
and Water Maintenance section. Follow
Operating Instructions for your particular
model to set heat to the desired
temperature. Initially, you may nd that the
Swim Spa requires 18 to 24 hours on
230 Volt installations to reach temperature.
Keep your thermal cover on the unit and
close the air controls to help the heating
process.
Priming Your Swim Spa
When lling your Swim Spa for the rst
time or, after draining and re lling the Swim
Spa, you may need to bleed air from the
system. Should you experience an air-lock on
Pump 1, remove the lter basket cover, insert
a garden hose through the center
hole of the lter as far as possible without
using force. Hold the hose in place and
turn on the water. This forces water into the
pump and forces the air out.
Important: Do not operate the Swim Spa
without full water ow.
