Getting Started
IMPORTANT: Watkins Manufacturing Corporation does not
recommend that the spa be filled with “softened” water, as this may
damage the spa’s equipment.
2. AFTER THE SPA HAS BEEN FILLED with water and the
equipment compartment door is secured, power must be applied to
the spa.
FIRST activate power to the subpanel from the main house panel.
NEXT open the door of the electrical subpanel and reset the GFCI
breaker.
FINALLY, close and secure the subpanel door.
3. TO CHECK THE OPERATION OF THE JET SYSTEM and to purge
any remaining air from the heating system complete the following
steps:
Press the soft button next to Jet Max to place both jet pumps on
High.
Once the jet system is fully operational (as indicated by strong,
non-surging jets), priming of the spa is complete
To turn off the jets, press
the soft button next to All Off on the
home screen
to turn all functions off simultaneously
If you do not feel a steady stream of water from your jets,
refer to the instructions for priming the pump in the SPA
TROUBLESHOOTING section.
IMPORTANT: Be sure that the diverter is in the middle position.
4. SET THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL to the desired temperature
between 38°C (100°F) and 40°C (104°F), then place the spa
cover on the spa and allow the water temperature to stabilize
(approximately 24 hours). Make sure you secure the cover in place
using the cover locks. Periodically check the spa water temperature.
When the water temperature climbs above 32°C (90°F), proceed
to the next step. The spa temperature is pre-programmed to reach
39°C (100°F), and will normally do so within 18 to 24 hours. You may
change the water temperature by pressing the OPTION hard button
then press the soft button next to Temperature, (press soft button
next to
on the control panel to raise the temperature, or lower
temperature by pressing soft button next to ▼). After a few hours,
the water temperature will remain within 1.5°C (3°F ) of your selected
temperature.
5. USING A TEST STRIP AND APPLICABLE CHEMICALS adjust
Total Alkalinity (TA) to 40-120 ppm, Calcium Hardness (CH) to
50-150 ppm, then spa water pH to between 7.2 and 7.8. These
procedures are listed in the “Water Quality and Maintenance”
section.
OPERATION NOTE: Adjusting the Total Alkalinity 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.
IMPORTANT: Activate the Clean cycle (Press the soft button next
to CLEAN on the home screen) before adding spa water chemicals
directly into the filter compartment. Make sure all diverter valves are
set to the middle position.
6. SUPERCHLORINATE THE SPA WATER by adding 1½ teaspoons
of MONARCH chlorine (sodium dichlor) per 950 liters (250 gallons)
of spa water, then activate the Clean cycle by pressing the soft
button next to CLEAN on the home screen.
7. TEST THE SPA WATER FOR CHLORINE RESIDUAL. If the
residual is between 3 and 5 ppm on the test strips, go on to the next
step. If the residual is less than 3 ppm, activate the Clean cycle, add
chlorine as needed and then retest.
IMPORTANT: For Canada, if you are only using the bromine
cartridge, your bromine levels should be between 3.0 - 5.0 ppm.
8. IF USING FROG INSTALL FROG bromine and mineral
cartridges. Dial the mineral cartridge to setting 6 and snap into the
top space of the cartridge holder. Dial the bromine cartridge to setting
3 and snap into the bottom space of the cartridge holder.
WARNING: High sanitizer levels can cause discomfort to the user’s
eyes, lungs and s kin. Always allow the sanitizer level to fall to the
recommended range before using the spa.
IMPORTANT: Each time the spa is filled with water, you must remove
and reinstall the FROG cap, even if you are not replacing the
cartridge, in order to properly prime the jet pumps.
9. RECHECK the Total Alkalinity (TA) 40-120 ppm, Calcium Hardness
(CH) 50-150 ppm, then spa water pH at between 7.2 and 7.8.
OPERATION NOTE: Make sure you adjust your Total Alkalinity and
pH correctly, this will affect
the sanitizers effectiveness.
The spa is ready for use when the spa water has circulated and the
bromine level remains between 1 and 2 ppm or chlorine level remains
between 3 and 5 ppm.
OPERATION NOTE: For proper water circulation during the ten-minute
Clean cycle the following steps should be performed.
Place the diverter valve in the middle (split flow) position
Place air control levers in OFF position by rotating clockwise
