START-UP
Your HOT SPRING spa has been thoroughly tested during the
manufacturing process to ensure reliability and long-term customer
satisfaction. A small amount of water may have remained in the
plumbing after testing and, as a result, may have spotted the spa shell
or the spa siding prior to delivery. Before filling the spa, wipe the spa
shell clean with a soft rag.
The following instructions must be read and followed exactly to ensure
a successful start-up or refill.
1. CLOSE DRAIN AND FILL THE SPA
filter compartment. Your HOT SPRING spa water level should be
maintained just below the bottom of the pillow.
2. AFTER THE SPA HAS BEEN FILLED
equipment compartment door is secured, power must be applied to
the spa.
• 115 volt models: Connect the GFCI to the waterproof receptacle
and push the RESET button on the GFCI.
• 230 volt models: Open the door of the electrical subpanel, reset
the 30 amp GFCI breaker first, verify the system is primed, then
reset the 20 amp breaker. Close and secure the subpanel door.
3. TO CHECK THE OPERATION OF THE JET SYSTEM
to purge any remaining air from the heating system:
PULSE, FLAIR & FLASH Models:
• Push the JETS hard button.
• Push the JET MAX soft button to run pumps on high speed, run for
one minute. Press JETS OFF soft button to shut all the jets off.
BEAM Model:
• Push the JETS Hard button to run the jet pump on high speed, run
for one minute. Press JETS OFF soft button to shut the JETS off.
PRISM Model:
• Push the JETS hard button.
• Push the JETS MAX soft button to turn on all the jets and run for
one minute. Press the soft button next to each Jet # to shut off the
jets.
Weak or surging jets are an indication of a low water level condition or
clogged filter cartridges.
IMPORTANT: Be sure the air Lever (see illustration in Spa Features
section) is open by turning clockwise until it stops. Combination jet
faces can be turned to completely shut off jet flow, these jets should
be open as well.
4. USING A TEST STRIP AND APPLICABLE CHEMICALS
adjust Total Alkalinity (TA) to 80 ppm, Calcium Hardness (CH)
between 75-150ppm (if using Salt System 25-75ppm), then spa
water pH to between 7.4 and 7.8. These procedures are listed in the
"Water Quality and Maintenance" section.
IMPORTANT: Always add spa water chemicals directly into the
filter compartment with the jet pump on high speed for at least
ten minutes. Adjusting the Total Alkalinity (TA) as the first step is
important, as out-of-balance TA will affect your ability to adjust the
pH correctly and will prevent the sanitizer from operating effectively.
5. SUPERCHLORINATE THE SPA WATER
teaspoons of chlorine (sodium dichlor) per 250 gallons (950 liters) of
spa water with the spa in the Cleaning mode.
All HOT SPRING spas are equipped with a Cleaning mode. When
the mode is activated, the jet pump in the first jet system will turn on
and run for ten minutes (used for water maintenance). To activate

DURING THE SUPER-CHLORINATION PERIOD
the DIVERTER lever(s) through both operating positions, letting the
spa water circulate (with jets on) for equal periods of time. The HOT
SPRING spa's diverter levers are designed to operate different jets
in two different positions.
6. SET THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL
pre-programmed to reach 100°F (38° C), and will normally do
so within 18 to 24 hours. You may raise or lower the water
temperature by:
• Pressing the OPTIONS hard button on the control panel.
• Pressing the soft button next to Temperature.
•
panel to raise the temperature.
•
panel to lower the temperature.
Place the vinyl cover on the spa and allow the water temperature
to stabilize. Make sure you secure the cover in place using the
cover locks. Periodically check the spa water temperature. When
the water temperature climbs above 90°F (32°C), proceed to the
next step.
To prevent tampering, you can lock your desired temperature
setting. Refer to the Operating section for details.
7. ACTIVATE THE CLEAN CYCLE as described in step 5 to turn
on the CLEAN cycle to circulate the spa water. After the clean cycle
is complete, test the spa water for Free Available Chlorine (FAC)
residual. If the residual is between 3 and 5ppm on the test strips
(found in the test kit) go on to the next step. If the residual is less
than 3ppm, superchlorinate the spa water by adding 1½ teaspoons
of chlorine (sodium dichlor) per 250 gallons (950 liters) of spa water.
Activate the clean cycle again to circulate the spa water for another
ten-minute period.
8. ROTATE THE DIVERTER LEVER(S) TO OPPOSITE
POSITION.
Activate the clean cycle as described in step 5. Test
the spa water for Free Available Chlorine (FAC) residual. If the
residual is between 3 and 5ppm on the test strips (between
1 - 5ppm if using the Salt system) go on to the next step. If the
residual is less than 3 ppm, superchlorinate the spa water by adding
1½ teaspoons of chlorine (sodium dichlor) per 250 gallons (950
liters) of spa water. Then Activate the clean cycle again to circulate
the spa water for another ten-minute period. Repeat this procedure
until both diverter lever(s) operating positions have been tested.
9. RECHECK
the Total Alkalinity (TA) at 80ppm, Calcium Hardness
(CH) between 75-150ppm (if using Salt system between
25-75ppm), then spa water pH at between 7.2 and 7.8. using a
FRESHWATER 5-way test strip.
Make sure you adjust your Total Alkalinity first, as
IMPORTANT:
an out-of-balance condition will affect your ability to adjust the pH
correctly, and will prevent the sanitizer from operating effectively.
The spa is ready for use when the spa water has circulated
through each diverter lever operating position and the chlorine
level remains between 3ppm and 5ppm.
