SPA COMPONENT
OPERATION
AIR CONTROL VALVE
The air control valve serves to regulate the
amount of air mixed with the water when
the jets are operational. Turn the air control
valves in one direction to increased jet
action. Rotating the air control in the opposite
direction to turn air off and allow the jets to
work with water only. Turn the air controls off
when the spa is not in use, this will prevent
cold air from entering the spa and will keep
heating cost to a minimum. When equipped
with Ozone, the ozone jet will always produce
air bubbles when pump is on.
DIVERTER VALVE
The diverter valve on your spa allows
you to direct the flow of water to one of
the jet flow combinations. The function
of the diverter valve can best be learned
by experimentation. Turn the large valve
completely to one side to see which jets are
on, then turn completely to the other to see
which jets are affected (you can adjust the
diverter value to any position between the
two possible extremes to achieve the jet
pressure that feels best to you).
IMPORTANT: Your spa is not designed to
provide full power to all jets when the diverter
valves are in the "mid" position. However with
the diverter valve in this position, you may
increase the power to selected jets by rotating
the faces of the hydrotherapy jets to close the
ones that are not in use.
HYDROTHERAPY JETS
The hydrotherapy jets are recessed in the
wall of the spa. Rotate the medium jet faces
to turn the jets on or off. Turning a jet on or
off will increase or decrease the effects of any
jets not in the closed position.

OZONE GENERATOR
(WHEN EQUIPPED)
The ozone system enhances the quality of
the spa water when used to supplement
the spa owner's regular water maintenance
program. Contrary to some information
circulated throughout the pool and spa
industry regarding ozone systems, ozone
CAN'T be used as a single-source sanitizer,
water clarifier, anti-foamer, and mineral
chelating agent. A secondary source
sanitizer must be used to maintain 3 -5 ppm
of Free Available Chlorine (FAC). Watkins
Wellness recommends that a chemical
maintenance program based on recognized
and documented industry standards still be
followed when using an ozone purification
system to assure water sanitation and the
highest quality purified water.
WATERFALL
Your spa has a control valve to operate the
amount of flow through the waterfall from no
flow to a steady stream. This valve is located
next to or on the waterfall. Note: The air
control valve and the waterfall flow valve may
look the same, however; they will be separate
components.
WHIRLPOOL JET
The Whirlpool Jet is located below the water
line at or near the control panel area, in the
wall. This jet is a diverter valve and high
capacity jet that has a larger diameter than
the hydrotherapy jets. The whirlpool jet is
turned on and off by rotating the jet face.
Because, there is a substantial amount of
water pressure when the jet is in operation,
you must turn the pump off or to low speed
before attempting to rotate the jet face. As
the whirlpool jet open position is increased it
will begin turning off most of the hydrotherapy
jets. One of the two air control valves is
dedicated to this jet.
