INSTALLATION 

SET-UP INSTRUCTION IN WINTER

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 indoors 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 outdoors 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).

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 be 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 conditions, 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 on 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 instructions low instruction.

Using chemical tablets (not included):

Important: Don't use a granulate tablet or throw the tablet directly in the water; the chemical will deposit on the bottom and damage the material and discolor the PVC.

Using chemical liquid (not included):
Important: Add chemical liquid in small doses and in he center of the pool. Avoid direct contact of the chemical with the spa surface; the direct contact of the chemical with the spa material will damage the material and discolor the surface.

NOTE: Remove the chemical dispenser from the 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 table below.

NOTE: Damage resulting from a 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 the misuse of chemicals and the mismanagement of spa water is not covered by the warranty.

Important: Overuse of chemicals will discolor the printing and all points of the spa material, in the worst case,, damage the structure of the spa liner.
