Filling And Powering Up Your Portable Spa - Cal Spas Aqua SQ63 Manual Del Usaurio

Filling and Powering Up Your
Portable Spa
Never fill your spa with soft water. Soft water makes
it impossible to maintain the proper water chemistry
and may cause the water to foam, which will ultimately
harm the finish of the spa and void your warranty.
1. Once the spa has been placed on an approved
surface and has been correctly wired by a licensed
electrician, inspect all plumbing connections in the
equipment area of your spa. Ensure that these
connections are secure and that they did not
loosen during shipment.
2. If equipped, open all gate valves in the equipment
area. Before operating the spa, these valves must
be in the UP or OPEN position.
3. Remove the filter basket and cartridge from
skimmer/filter canister.
4. Place a garden hose in the skimmer/filter canister
and fill your spa with regular tap water to the proper
water level (halfway up the skimmer area).
5. (For owners of the automatic bromine generator)
Make sure the dial on the face of the bromine
generator unit is turned to the OFF position.
6. Open the air relief valve (located next to the two
filters, if equipped) after the air bubbles stop
coming out of it. Close the valve hand-tight.

Preparing for Your New Portable Spa
7. Once the water is at the correct level and air is
bled, turn on the power at the GFCI breaker.
(Ensure that the 120V spas are connected to the
proper electrical outlet.)
NOTE: When the power is turned on to the spa, it
will perform a diagnostic check for 30 seconds. When
the diagnostic is complete, the spa will automatically
operate at filter speed and continue heating until the
spa water temperature reaches the default temperature
of 37.7˚C.
8. If no water is flowing when the pump is running
there could be an air pocket at the suction side of
the pump. Shut off power to the spa and loosen
the pump union on the suction side of the pump to
bleed the air. When air is bled, turn power back on.
9. Re-install the filter and the filter basket into the
skimmer/filter canister.
The spa is now ready for use.
NOTE: Never run the spa with the gate valves closed
or without water circulating for long periods of time. Be
careful not to over-tighten the plumbing fittings.
