Your new spa’s GFCI will trip.

A Ground Fault Interrupter (GFCI) Trip Test must occur to allow proper spa function.

Your spa came with special instructions for the installer / electrician. If they have not already advised you on what to do or expect form the GFCI Trip Test, please con-tact them for additional information.

If the GFCI breaker connected to your spa trips, this is normal behavior. Please reset the breaker and enjoy your spa. The trip test has been completed success-fully.

If your spa is not wired to a GFCI breaker or if your breaker fails the GFCI Trip Test, “GFI” (gFI) will display on the spa panel and the spa will be non operational until the breaker is manually reset. The spa will repeatedly at-tempt (at preset intervals) to trip the breaker until such time that it triggers a GFCI Trip.

GFCI breakers are important safety devices required by code for your Hot Tub. For more information, refer to your dealer or to the section in your Owner’s Manual titled “Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter.”

JETS, AIR CONTROLS & VALVES

Jets

All spa jets are individually engineered

to provide a unique hydro-massage.

Depending on the model, your spa will have

a combination of the following jets:

Directional Therapeutic

(200, 300, and 400 Series Wave Style):

Positioned to focus on large muscle groups,

these jets deliver a concentrated, high

volume stream of water for a deep massage.

Each jet is fully adjustable, allowing users to

set the water fl ow to the most comfortable

setting. The nozzle can be rotated to target

sore muscle areas.

Rotational or Spinning Jets

(200, 300, and 400 Series Wave Style):

Positioned to focus on muscle tension

zones, these jets deliver a spinning water

stream for a gentle, pulsating massage.

Each jet is fully adjustable, allowing users to

set the water fl ow to the most comfortable

setting.

Whirlpool:

Positioned to create overall water

circulation, this multi-purpose, high volume

jet provides whirlpool action throughout

the entire spa.

Euro Jets:

Positioned in the foot well or shoulder areas

of the spa, these jets deliver a penetrating

massage to dissolve tension. This jet may be

the entry point for ozone produced during

the automatic fi ltration cycles, and, as such,

is not adjustable.

Note: Ozone production is suspended when

other functions are activated on the control

panel by the spa user.

NOTE: In spas equiped with a circ pump

the ozonator can not be shut off and will

remain on as long as the circ pump is

running.

All full sized jets are adjustable from a fully open to closed position. It is very important that you NEVER SHUT ALL FULL SIZED JETS OFF AT ONE TIME! WHEN EXITING THE SPA, OPEN ALL CLOSED JETS.

Cleaning or Replacing Jets

Hard water can cause calcium/mineralbuildup that can restrict or bind the jets. A jet consists of a face plate and a nozzle. Rotate these parts weekly and remove/clean monthly to ensure free movement.

NOTE: It is not necessary to drain the spa to

clean or remove the jets.

Rotating the jet face plate and nozzle• Rotate the jet face left and right (open and closed).• Return the face plate to the full open position.• Turn the jets on to high speed.• Twist the nozzle left and right.• Rotate the nozzle in the socket.

NOTE: If the jet insert disengages from the

spa housing, see steps to reinstall below.

Cleaning the jets

To remove the jet insert, use the palm of your hand to exert pressure on the face of the jet. Turn counterclockwise until the jet ‘clicks’. Gently pull the jet assembly from the housing.

To clean the jet insert and housing, use apressurized hose and spray the inside of the jet housing. Soak the jet in a diluted spa cleaning solution, rinse. Wipe the inside of the housing to remove any debris.

To reinstall the jet, line up the tab on thebackside of the barrel with the groove in the body. Use the palm of your hand to gently tab the jet until it snaps into position.

Air Controls

The intensity of the jet action can be controlled by altering the amount of air injected with water through the jets. Your spa has 2 to 4 air controls located on the lip of the spa. Each control activates air to specifi c jets in the spa allowing you to create various combinations and levels of jet action to suit individual preferences. Turn the control counter- clockwise to turn the air off and clockwise to turn air on.

NOTE: Air controls should be closed

during heating cycles for maximum

energy effi ciency.

NOTE: At the start of a fi ltration cycle,

the Champagne Air System is activated

to purge the lines and ensure complete

fi ltration. Ensure that at least one air control

is always fully open.

On / Off Valve: Turns on or shuts off the fl ow of water to multiple jets or the waterfall.

Diverter Valve: Diverts water from one set of jets to another.

NOTE: The diverter and on / off valve(s)

should be cleaned regurally. Remove the handle by pulling upward and rocking it back and forth, unscrew the cap and pull the valve stem out. To clean the valve stem and housing, use a pressurized hose and spray the inside of the valve housing. Soak the valve stem in a diluted spa cleaning solution, rinse. Wipe the inside of the housing to remove any debris.

START UP PROCEDURES

Follow recommendations for site location and electrical connection. The water line on the weir door is the level at which the water should be maintained.

1. Fill the spa through the fi lter hole to 1/8” below the top of the Weir door. with tap water. Never use ‘softened’ water in

your spa. Softened water can impact the chemical balance of the water and lead to degradation of metal plumbing fi ttings.2. Turn power on to unit at circuit breaker or disconnect panel.3. Open the air controls, located on the top lip, and cycle the jets from high to low. Water should come from the therapy jets. If water fl ow is not established, turn off jets and see Priming Your Spa (this page).4. Add chemicals. Ask your dealer for additional information.on start up or getting the water balanced.

Follow Operating Instructions for your particular model to set heat to the desired temperature. Initially, you may fi nd that the spa requires 12 to 14 hours on 230 Volt installations to reach temperature. Keep your thermal cover on the unit and close the air controls to help the heating process.

NOTE: At the start of a fi ltration cycle, the

Air System is activated to purge the lines

and ensure complete fi ltration. If you have

the air system nsure that at least one air

control is always fully open.

Priming Your Spa

When fi lling your spa for the fi rst time or,

after draining and refi lling the spa, you

may need to bleed air from the system.

Should you experience an air-lock on

Pump 1, remove the fi lter cover,

insert a garden hose through each center

hole that holds the fi lter as far as possible

without using force. Hold the hose in place

and turn on the water. Cycle pump 1 from

low to high several times, this forces water

into the pump and forces the air out. If this

does not work or you experience an air-lock

on Pump 2, remove the side panel and

locate the pump. With the pump on high

speed, slowly loosen the discharge (top)

pump union until water starts to trickle out.

Once water is trickling out, hand tighten

the union (do not over tighten as this could

cause the union to crack) and replace the

side panel

Setting the Time and Filtration Cycles

You can decide when your fi lter cycles start and you also have choices on how long they run.

Preset Filter Cycles. The spa control system is designed with two fi lter cycles. The fi rst fi lter cycle turns on 6 minutes after power is supplied to the spa. The second fi lter cycle turns on 12 hours later. Filter cycles are pre-set for a two hour duration.

Note: To properly clean and maintain spa,

a total fi lter time of at least four hours per

day is recommended. If an ozonator is

installed, 6 hours is recommended.

Changing Filter Cycle Start Time

The start/stop times of the fi lter cycle begin 6 minutes after the spa set time is established. Set time is based on the time of day that the spa is powered up. Set time may only be changed by disconnecting power from the spa and re-connecting it at the desired start time. For example, if you want the fi lter cycle to begin at 9:00 PM,turn off the spa breaker and turn it back on at 8:54 PM (remember the 6 minute wait period). The cycle will begin at 9:00 PM and will repeat beginning at 9:00

AM. Each cycle will run for the prescribed number of hours.

Changing Filter Cycle Duration

The duration of a fi lter cycle can be set inhour increments of 2, 4, 6, 8, or continuous. For example, a 2 hour cycle will complete once every 12 hours for a total of 4 hours per day. The amount of time needed to fi lter you spa will depend on usage and ambient conditions.You will need to program you fi lter cyclesbased upon your personal use.To change the duration of the fi lter cycles

NOTE: With the standard confi guration,

pump 1 will automatically operate in

low speed whenever the spa calls for a

fi ltration cycle or heat. When this automatic

activation occurs, the low speed of Pump

1 cannot be turned off ; however, all other

control functions can be activated.

MODES OF OPERATION:

In the standard confi guration (NO circ pump option) your spa can be switched among Standard, Economy, and Sleep modes by touching the ‘TEMP’ pad and then the ‘LIGHT’ pad. If your spa is in the Standard mode, the low speed op Pump 1 and the heater will come on automatically to maintain the set temperature of the water. The pump will circulate for approximately two minutes several times throughout the day to sample water temperature. If your spa is set in the

Economy mode,

the heater will operate ONLY during the fi ltration cycles. If your spa is set in the Sleep mode,

The spa will heat to within 20°F (11°C) of the set temperature only during fi lter cycles.The pump will operate either during a normal fi ltration cycle or, the heater and pump will be activated when the heater housing temperature drops below 45°F (7.2°C). The selected mode will be displayed in the LED window of the control panel. When in Standard mode, the letters ‘ST’ are displayed beiefl y, followed by the water temperature. When in Economy mode, the letters ‘EC’ are displayed alternately with the water temperature.When in Sleep mode, the letters ‘SL’ aredisplayed alternately with the water temperature.

MAINTENANCE

Water Chemistry

Water chemistry is critical in a spa system.Chemicals are used to sanitize the water and control the pH balance. The combination of high water temperature and small water volume means that the chemical balance must be watched carefully. It is recommended that you purchase a chemical start up kit, andthe additional chemicals needed to maintain the proper/optimum chemical balance, from your dealer.

Sanitizing

Sanitizing the water destroys harmfulorganisms and keeps your spa healthy and safe. Three commonly used spa sanitizer or oxidizing agents are bromine, chlorine and ozone. Chlorine or bromine are chemicals that you add to the water. Ozone is a gas that is produced by an ozonator and injected into the water. It is important that a residual of sanitizer remain in your water. High watertemperature, aeration and use will increase the need for sanitizer.In addition to maintaining a residual, it is important to ‘shock’ your spa water periodically and after heavy use. This addition of substantial amounts of sanitizer super-chlorinates the water and oxidizes non-fi lterable organic residue. Allow the sanitizer level to drop back to the residual amount before using. Also use your Clean Up Cycle after heavy use for additional fi ltration. Tests should be done daily with your test kit to keep a chlorine or bromine residual of 3.0 to 5.0 ppm.

pH Level

pH is the balance of acidity and alkalinityin the water. Maintaining proper pH isimportant for the eff ectiveness of yoursanitizer, for user comfort, and to preventcorrosion of the spa equipment.Caution: Never mix two chemicals together.Caution: Never store chemicals in theequipment compartment.Caution: Do not use muriatic acid to balance pH as it will damage your spa surface and equipment.

Recommended Levels

pH: 7.2–7.6 (Ideal 7.4–7.6)Sanitizer Residual: 3.5–5.0 ppmTotal Dissolved Solids: 100–200 ppmFree Available Sanitizer: 3.0–5.0 ppmTotal Alkalinity: 80–100 ppm ideal for dichlor, trichlor, and bromine

NOTE: Make sure you use fresh test kit

strips/chemicals. Test kits and test

chemicals should be stored in a cool,

dry location. Check the manufacturer’s

instructions to determine shelf life and

expiration date.

Ozone:

Equipping your spa with the Powerworks ™ Ozonator is a smart decision. The use of ozone in conjunction with spa sanitizing and water balancing chemicals helps to provide you with a cleaner, healthier spa and reduces chemical usage.

38 VITA SPA

EN

GL

ISH

FR

AN

ÇA

IS

Sanitizing with Ozone

Spas vary in size, as well as frequency and conditions of use. For this reason you will need to establish your sanitizing program based upon your own personal use. When using ozone, you should start by balancing your water chemistry as you normally would. A spa should run and be ozonated a minimum of six hours per day. If your spa is heavily used, this time should be increased. Your spa produces ozone during the fi ltration cycles. The amount of a residual sanitizer (chlorine or bromine) that you maintain in the water will also vary depending on use. It is recommended that you maintain a residual of 3.0-5.0 ppm. Periodically, and after periods of heavy use, it is necessary to ‘shock’ your spa with large amounts of sanitizer.

NOTE: The ozonator is programed to turn

on during a programed fi lter cycle and will

be disabled if any button other than the

light is pushed durring this cycle.

NOTE: In spas equiped with a circ pump

the ozonator can not be shut off and will

remain on as long as the circ pump is

running.

NOTE: Extra fi ltration can be provided by

manually starting a clean-up cycle. Turn

Pump 1 on in low speed. The pump will

operate for 2 - 4 hours (depending on spa

system) and then automatically turn off .

Specialty Chemicals

While ozone may signifi cantly reduce theusage of specialty chemicals it is not a substitute for these chemicals. All chemicals should continue to be monitored, especially during periods of heavy usage and when

changing or replenishing the spa water.

Draining your Spa

NOTE: Always turn the circuit breaker off

when you drain your spa. Do not turn the

spa heater back on until you have full fl ow

coming from the jets for several minutes..

Changing your spa water, cleaning the spa surface and fi lter are necessary because high concentrations of impurities caused by water evaporation, body oils, perfumes, and other contaminants may accumulate in the spa that cannot be fi ltered out.

NOTE: It is advisable to drain your spa and

refi ll it with fresh water every six to eight

weeks or more often, depending on the

amount of use.

All spas are equipped with both external and internal drains. The external drain is used for draining the spa. The internal drain(s) are used to remove water from internal hoses when winterizing your spa (See pg. 39) or if the water is severely contaminated.

NOTE: Use a standard garden hose to direct

the water to an appropriate disposal area.

The external drain valve is located in a compartment on the front panel. Open the compartment, pull the valve out, remove the outer black cap and connect a garden hose to the fi tting. Turn the ring on the back of the valve counter-clockwise until it stops, then pull out to open the valve. Water will begin to fl ow. When fl ow stops, push in the valve, turn ring clockwise until it stops, remove hose and replace the cap.

The internal drain hose(s) is (are) located

behind the front access panel. Remove the access panel screws and the access panel. Locate the drain hose(s). For each hose drain valve, remove the cap, attach the garden hose, and turn the valve body 90° counter-clockwise. Water will begin to fl ow. When all water has been evacuated, turn the valve handle clockwise until it stops. Remove garden hose and replace the cap. Repeat for each internal drain hose.

NOTE: Do NOT attempt to use the

pump to drain the spa.

NOTE: Close all drain valves and replace

caps prior to refi lling the spa.

NOTE: When refi lling the spa, you may

need to bleed air from the system. Refer to

Priming Your Spa, pg. 16 for instructions.

Filter Maintenance

NOTE: It is not necessary to drain the

spa in order to clean the fi lter.

The removable fi lter cartridges are located in the fi lter canister behind the weir door. The fi lter should be inspected / cleaned monthly during normal use, and more often when spa use is heavy.

Keep the fi lter cartridge clean! Clean the fi lter cartridge at least once every 90 days. A clogged fi lter decreases performance and degrades water quality.

To clean the fi lter cartridge:1. Turn the pump off .2. Remove skimmer lid on top of spa.4. Remove fi lter cartridge from the fi lter canister

by grasping the top and unscrew counter- clockwise while lifting upwards.5. Soak fi lter in a commercial fi lter cleaner/ degreaser, available from your Elite Spa dealer, per manufacturer’s instructions. Hose out fi lter cartridge or replace with new cartridge, if needed.6. Place fi lter cartridge back into fi lter canister, , screw in clockwise DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN. 7. Replace the skimmer lid. 8. Turn the pump ON.

Replacing the fi lter cartridge annually is recommended to maintain optimum performance. Filter maintenance dependson usage.

Winterizing

In cold climates where freezing temperatures occur, special care is required to prevent thepossibility of damage to the spa and equipmentdue to freezing. If you plan on using your spa during cold months, be sure your pump and heater are in good working order. The spa shell has been insulated to provide effi cient operation in cold weather areas.

NOTE: If you elect not to drain your spa

and the temperature is going to be below

freezing for extended periods of time, it

is best to operate the spa in the standard

mode with the temperature set at the

maximum high temperature of 104°F

(40°C), especially if there is a power outage

threat. This will help keep the spa water

from freezing if you have a power failure.

If you do not intend to use your spa during the winter months and there is danger of freezing, use the following steps to winterize your spa:Winterizing a spa if done properly is a

complicated procedure. When at all possible

this should be done by a spa service center. A freeze damaged spa can be expensive to fi x.With that in mind here are some basic winterizing tips that will help you remove enough of the water and add enough RV Antifreeze to keep your plumbing from freezing. What you will need;1. A wet /dry (shop vac) vacuum.2. 1 to 3 gallons or RV antifreeze (nontoxic, used in Recreational Vehicles water tanks)3. Channel lock pliers (16” works best for most tubs)4. A funnel5. Time, expect two to three hours. Now that you have those things, • Drain the spa• Vacuum all of the jets and injectors, until there is no more water coming out.• Remove your fi lter and vacuum at the fi lter plumbing. • If you have an air injectors, turn power on , and make sure the pump(s) are NOT running and the heater is not fi ring; (generally this can only be accomplished by unplugging the pumps from the control box and removing the connections from the heater) then turn your air blower on until water no longer comes out of air holes. Then turn the power back off .• Loosen the plumbing connections at your pump and at your heater and remove the freeze plugs on the front face of the pump(s). Vacuum up any water that comes out.• Reconnect the plumbing to the heater, the freeze plugs and the lower of the two connections on your pumps.• Add RV antifreeze to the pump using your f unnel. Most pumps will take approx. 4 oz.

• Reattach your pump unions.• Add approximately 1oz. of RV anti-freeze to each of the jets. (use funnel)• Add RV anti-freeze to the plumbing that is attached to your fi lter until it runs out of the intakes in the foot well of the spa. (This is not possible in all spas)• Add anti-freeze to the air injectors, this can be tedious but is worth the eff ort. In climates that get heavy snows it is a good idea to place some plywood over your cover to help reinforce it. Then cover the spa with a tarp, and strap the tarp down, this will help keep winter winds from getting to your cover.In the spring, or when you are ready to start the tub back up.• Make sure that all fi ttings are tight.• Fill with cool water• Turn the power on.• Run the jets on high speed for 30 minutes.• Several times during the 30 minutes that you are running your pump, turn your air blower on and off . This will purge the air lines.• Drain the spa through all drain lines supplied• Put your fi lter in the spa.• Refi ll and treat chemically like you would during a water change.

Spa Cabinet Care:

The cabinets are made of Duramaax™, a high quality alternative to wood that is virtually maintenance free, requiring no staining, sealing, or waxing.

To clean the spa cabinet, rinse dirt and dust regularly with clear water. To remove stubborn dirt, grime, and mild discoloration, wash with a mild detergent and warm water.

Protect spa fi nish - always keep cover

on the spa when not in use.

Spa Surface Care and Cleaning

Your spa shell surface is made of acrylic. A minimum amount of care and cleaning will keep your spa looking new for years. Use a spa cleaner for residue and lime build-up at the water level of the spa surface. It may be necessary to lower the water level 5-7 cm before cleaning to avoid polluting the spa. Cleaner can be applied to the acrylic surface with a soft cloth and wiped clean. Use a non-abrasive household cleaner to clean your spa shell or use a mild dishwashing detergent.Rinse well and dry with a clean cloth.

Never use abrasive cleaners.

NOTE: Do not allow the acrylic surface to

come in to contact with products such as

acetone (nail polish remover), nail polish,

dry cleaning solution, lacquer thinners,

gasoline, pine oil, solvents, etc.

Remove dust and dry dirt with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using razor blades or other sharp instruments that might scratch the surface.

Light Bulbs

The Spa light bulb is serviceable from inside the spa cabinet. Remove the side panel andinsulation closest to the light; locate thebracket that holds the bulb. Turn the black bulb holder 90 degrees counter-clockwise; remove from bracket. Pull bulb straight out and replace. Insert bulb holder back into bracket and turn 90 degrees clock-wise to secure.

Spa Cover Care:

Proper care is easy: Once a month, clean and condition the cover according to the maintenance instructions.tha came with your cover

Even if you don’t condition your top vinyl every month, we recommend you give one good treatment just before snow or ice. If possible, treat during the winter too.After every snow fall or ice storm, use a soft broom to remove the accumulation from your Spa cover — this will help preserve your foam cores, and a broom won’t damage the vinyl. Handle tie-down straps and handles with care, because in really cold climates, vinyl can crack, since it will not stretch. For added security in windy and storm conditions, consider using additional tie down straps which lock down tight.Remove foam cores from the vinyl encasement. Mix two gallons of water, a teaspoon of mild dishwashing soap and one cup of bleach. With a soft bristle brush, scrub the inside of the encasement thoroughly. Then take a wash cloth and wipe down each foam core. Rinse both well. Place the

encasement in the sun and foam cores in the shade to dry. (Do not put foam cores in the sun – they will melt!) Once everything is dry, spray the cores and inside the encasement with a mildew inhibitor like Pine Sol®. Allow all to dry completely, and then reassemble. The key here is to maintain proper water chemistry to avoid mildew.If you are using WD-40 to free the Sure-Locs, try using a Q-tip to keep the WD-40 away from your cabinet. (It can damage the fi nish.)

Thermal Creep

Your Vita spa is manufactured with energy-effi cient components and systems that capture heat generated by the equipment, then transfer that heat back to the spa water. In warmer climates or in situations with extended run times, “Thermal Creep” may occur. Thermal Creep is a condition whereby the actual water temperature is higher than the set temperature. To manage “Thermal Creep” you may:� Vent your cover� Open all air controls� Set your fi ltration cycles to run during the cooler times of the day or at night� Reduce the length of your fi lter cycles� Visit your local Vita Spa distributor for additional guidance Thermal Creep only occurs in well-insulated hot tubs. It is not an indication that something is wrong with your spa or its equipment

SPA SOAKING GUIDELINES

1. Persons with heart disease, diabetes, blood pressure or circulatory abnormalities, a serious illness, or pregnant women should not enter a spa without prior consultation with their doctor.

2. People with skin, ear, genital or other body infections, open sores, or wounds should not use the spa because of the possibility of spreading infection.

3. Before entering, look at the water in your spa. If there is cloudiness, foaming, or if a strong chlorine smell is present, the water needs treatment. Properly maintained water will greatly reduce potential skin rash (pseudomonas). Ask your Authorized Vita Spa Dealer for guidance.

4. Shower with soap and water before and after using the spa. Showering before use removes many common skin bacteria, perspiration, lotions, deodorants, creams, etc. that may reduce the eff ectiveness of the sanitizer and lessen the ability of the fi lter to work effi ciently. Showering after use will help reduce skin irritation that may result from contact with spa chemicals.

5. Enter the spa slowly and cautiously. Be careful of your footing, and allow your body to gradually adjust to the water temperature. Exit slowly to accommodate relaxed leg muscles and possible light-headedness.

6. Soaking for too long may cause some users to feel nauseous, dizzy, or light-headed. If you wish to soak in high temperature water (104°F, 40°C), leave the spa after 15 minutes, shower, cool down and then return for another brief stay. In lower temperatures (e.g. 98.6°F, 37°C, normal body temperature) most people can comfortably and safely soak for longer periods at one sitting. If you have any questions about what’s right for you, your family, or other guests, consult your doctor.

7. Be sure you check the water temperature before entering, and while using the spa.

8. Never use the spa while under the infl uence of alcohol.

9. Consult your doctor about potential harmful eff ects of using drugs or medications while hot water soaking.

10. Never use the spa when you are alone.

11. Never allow children or elderly adults to

use the spa unsupervised.
