1. Fill the spa to the minimum water level
(1 1/2" to 2" above the cartridge). Before turning on the equipment, make sure there are no mechanical leaks and that the drainage tap is well closed.

2.Once this verification has been performed, turn on the spa. If the pump is operating and the water is circulating well, you can look forward to your first dip. Nevertheless, sometimes, although the pump is working, the water circulation will not be apparent. Generally the control panel will indicate "FLO" if this occurs.

3.If this is the case, evacuate the air which has settled in the pump as follows: Turn off the power. Locate the control box. The control box is the box where all the electrical connections are made.

4.Behind or under the control box you will find the heating element, a silver cylinder with two black or white rings at each end. Unscrew the ring closest to the pump by a few turns. Without creating too much water pressure, allow a little water to flow for approximately 10 seconds.

5.The air should now have been released. Tighten the ring again and turn on the spa. To locate the heating element, refer to the diagram on the following page.

6.Following this, you must completely drain the spa. The spa was tested for two hours in the factory and probably some stagnant water is still in the pipes. To prevent this water from becoming stagnant, you must fill the spa and pour in two cups of sodium hypochlorite. Then activate the jets for one hour. Empty the spa by gravity and refill it.
