Setup of Coleman SaluSpa Hot Tub Spa
To set up the SaluSpa Hot Tub Spa 90363E, follow these steps
- Find a flat and stable surface that is at least 5 feet away from any obstructions or overhanging branches.
- Unpack the hot tub spa and lay it out on the chosen surface.
- Connect the pump to the hot tub spa and inflate it to the recommended pressure.
- Fill the hot tub spa with water using a garden hose.
- Plug the hot tub spa into a standard electrical outlet and use the digital control panel to adjust the settings as desired.
- Replace the cover when not in use to retain heat and keep debris out of the water.
INSTALLATION
It is important to follow these suggestions if you are setting up the spa during the winter period. This will prevent damage to the PVC material and extend the life of your product drastically.

- If the ambient temperature is below 50°F(10°C), we suggest keeping the package indoor where the temperature is above 59°F(15°C) for at least 2h before inflation. This will make the spa liner more flexible and easier to set up.
- Open the package in the same room where the temperature is above 59°F(15°C), and inflate the spa using the spa heater.
- Position the spa liner outdoor in the desired position, connect the spa heater and fill with water.
Important: The water temperature used to fill the spa must be above 42.8°F(6°C), otherwise when you begin to operate with the spa heater, the E03 alarm will appear.
Important: If the Freeze Shield™ system isn’t working, alarms will pop up on the spa. Be sure to check the status of your spa if the outdoor temperature is below 42.8°F(6°C). In case of a long-term absence from home when there is a risk of temperatures falling below 42.8°F(6°C), we strongly suggest disassembling the spa and storing it following the storage procedure. When you assemble the spa, the automatic warm function will turn on. In this condition, the spa can be used when the temperature is lower than 42.8°F(6°C).




GFCI Test
IMPORTANT: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. THE GFCI MUST BE TESTED BEFORE TURNING ON THE PUMP EACH TIME.

- Plug the GFCI into a power outlet, the indicator turns red.
- Press the test button, the indicator turns off.
- Press the reset button, the indicator turns red and the spa is ready for use.
WARNING
- The GFCI plug must be tested before each use to avoid risk of electric shock.
- Before inserting plug into a power outlet, make sure the current rate of the power outlet is suitable for the pump.
- Do not use the pump if this test fails.
- Using an extension lead or multi-plug adaptor with the spa heater can cause the plug to overheat, causing damage to the equipment and surrounding items. The spa is a class I electrical appliance and must be connected directly to a grounded socket. It is recommended to only use a socket which is resistant to humidity and capable of high power loading. Regularly check the plug and socket for signs of damage before using the spa – do not use the spa if the plug or socket is damaged. If you are unsure about the quality of the electrical supply, please consult a qualified electrician before use.
NOTE
- When inflating, you will notice that air will be expelled from the area where the air hose connects to the pump, this is normal for technique requirements.
- Do not use an air compressor to inflate the pool.
- Do not drag the pool on rough ground as this may cause damage to the pool liner.
- Inflation time for reference only.

WINTER USE INSTRUCTIONS
- You can keep the spa on during winter when the temperature is lower than
42.8°F(6°C). The Freeze Shield™ system automatically keeps the water temperature between 42.8°F(6°C) and 50°F(10°C), and it will prevent the water from freezing. Important: If the water temperature is below 42.8°F(6°C), the spa heater must always be on. In this mode, the Freeze Shield™ system can keep the internal temperature between 42.8°F(6°C) and 50°F(10°C) to prevent damage, such as water freezing in the pipes or the circulation system.
Important: If the Freeze Shield™ system isn’t working, alarms will pop up on the spa. Be sure to check the status of your spa if the outdoor temperature is below
42.8°F(6°C). In case of a long-term absence from home when there is a risk of temperatures falling below 42.8°F(6°C), we strongly suggest disassembling the spa and storing it following the storage procedure. - Any damage as a result of using the spa in these conditions is the responsibility of the customer. Do not use the spa when the ambient temperature reaches 14°F(-10°C).
IMPORTANT
To reach 104°F(40°C), the heating duration required is based on the starting water temperature and ambient temperature, the data below is purely for reference. To display the current water temperature, run the filter system for at least a minute.

MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: You must ensure the pump is unplugged before beginning spa maintenance to avoid risk of injury or death.
Adding Air: Your spa will require additional air to be added from time to time. Changes in temperature from day to night will change the pressure in the spa and may cause a certain amount of deflation. Please follow the assembly instructions and inflate to the accurate pressure needed.
When you need to use the pump for inflation, please block the hoses to prevent water from escaping, then disconnect the pump, screw on the cap (P00217) to avoid water coming out from the air pipe.

Cover Maintenance
The cover shall be cleaned inside and out periodically using a suitable solution that includes adequate disinfection (e.g. 10 mg/l of Free Chlorine).
Filter Cartridge Maintenance
To ensure your spa water stays clean, check and clean your filter cartridges every day follow the steps below.
NOTE: We recommend changing your filter cartridges every week or, if the filter cartridges remain soiled and discolored, they should be replaced.
Water Maintenance
Many pollutants in the water settle on surfaces below the water line. These pollutants can cause bacterial, algal or fungal growth. It is recommended that spas are cleaned as regularly as necessary. After a time, tenacious stains or biofilms may develop on the accessible surfaces below the water line or high concentrations of salts or unwanted reaction by-products may also occur. Depending on hygienic condition, cleanliness, visibility, odour, debris and stains, it is recommended to change the water completely and clean/disinfect the spa. When emptying the spa, the regulations and the instructions for draining the water shall be observed. Keeping your spa water clean and chemically balanced is necessary. Simply cleaning the filter cartridge is not enough for proper maintenance, we recommend you use pool chemicals to maintain water chemistry and chlorine or bromine tablets (do not use granules) with the chemical dispenser. Water quality will be directly related to frequency of use, number of users and overall maintenance of the spa. The water should be changed every
3 days if there is no chemical treatment being performed with the water.
It is highly recommended to use tap water for spa filling to minimize the influence of unwanted content, such as minerals. Barefoot areas and relaxing areas shall be cleaned as well. No cleaning water may flow into the spa or spa water cycle. The dirt and cleaning agents shall be rinsed carefully to drain in the spa surround.
Note: We recommend you take a shower before using your SaluSpa, as cosmetic products, lotions, and other residues on the skin can quickly degrade water quality.To use the chemical dispenser, please follow the below instructions.
Using chemical tablets (not included)

Important: Don't use granulate tablet or throw the tablet directly in the water, the chemical will deposit on the bottom and damage the material and discolored the PVC.
Using chemical liquid (not included)

Important: Add chemical liquid in small doses and in the center of the pool avoid directly contact of the chemical with the spa surface, the direct contact of chemical with spa material will damage the material and discolored the surface.
NOTE: Remove the chemical dispenser from spa when the spa is in use. IMPORTANT: After performing chemical maintenance and before using the spa, use a test kit (not included) to test the water chemistry. We recommend maintaining your water as below table.
NOTE: Damage resulting from chemical imbalance is not covered by the warranty. Pool chemicals are potentially toxic and should be handled with care. There are serious health risks from chemical vapors and the incorrect labeling and storage of chemical containers. Please consult your local pool supply retailer for more information about chemical maintenance. Pay close attention to the chemical manufacturer’s instructions. spa damage resulting from misuse of chemicals and mismanagement of spa water is not covered by the warranty.
Important: Over usage of chemical will discolor the printing and all points of the spa material, in worse case damage the structure of the spa liner.

DISASSEMBLY AND STORAGE
DRAINING THE SPA

Make sure the spa and pump are completely dry. This is essential to extend the life of the spa. We recommend using the pump to blow dry the spa, pump and pipes. Remove the filter sets and discard the used filter cartridges. Re-attach the two stopper caps onto the spa’s inlet and outlet valves. It is recommended you store the spa in its original package in a warm [above 59°F(15°C)] and dry place.
CLEANING THE SPA
Detergent residues and dissolved solids from bathing suits and chemicals may build up on the spa walls. Use soap and water to clean the walls and rinse thoroughly. NOTE: DO NOT use hard brushes or abrasive cleaners.
DEFLATION
Your spa is equipped with a deflation function to remove all the air from inside the chamber to make it easier to pack and store.
