C Attention New Spa Owner! Attention New Spa Owner!® 780 Series spa! The following is a list of automated functions and maintenance recommendations for your new spa. Automated functions have been listed below in an attempt to suppress any operational concerns you may have during startup and the first 24-hours of ownership! Maintenance recommendations are listed in an attempt to stress their importance in protecting your new spa. Automated Operations Approximately two minutes after power is applied to the spa, the first filtration/ heating cycle turns on pump 1 (Section 9.0, page 25). In Certa/Chelsee/ Hamilton models, an automatic five minute “blow-out” function also activates pump 2 for a period of five minutes to flush all lines. Then, after five minutes, pump 2 turns off and pump 1 continues to operate for the duration of the cycle. Note: This function only occurs during the first filtration/heating cycle each day. Maintain Healthy Spa Water Always maintain your hot tub’s water chemistry within the following parameters as defined by the Association of Pool and Spa Professionals/USA: pH 7.4-7.6 Free chlorine 3.0-4.0 ppm Free bromine 2.0-4.0 ppm Total Alkalinity 100-120 ppm Calcium Hardness 150-250 ppm ! TO dECREASE RISK OF INFECTION OR dISEASE! Always maintain your spa filter as outlined below to ensure healthy spa water. Refer to pages 31-32 for additional information. Required Filter Maintenance Your new hot tub is equipped with an advanced 2-stage MicroClean™ water filtration system that provides unsurpassed water quality! To ensure maximum water quality at all times, you should clean and reuse the larger pleated filter cartridge every month and replace (throw away) the smaller MicroClean filter cartridge every 3 months, or earlier as necessary. The smaller MicroClean filter cartridge is designed to be thrown away! Attempts to reuse this filter cartridge may result in the re-release of unwanted particles back into the spa. See pages 31-32 for detailed filter cartridge replacement instructions. Required Water Maintenance TO dECREASE RISK OF INFECTION OR dISEASE! You should replace the spa’s water every 3 months. The frequency depends on a number of variables including frequency of use, number of users, and attention paid to water quality maintenance. You will know it is time for a change when you cannot control sudsing and/or you can no longer get the normal feel or sparkle to the water, even though the key water balance measurements are all within the proper parameters.
