Getting Started

START-UP AND REFILL PROCEDURES

START-UP

Your VACANZA series spa has been thoroughly tested during the

manufacturing process to ensure reliability and long-term customer

satisfaction. A small amount of water may have remained in the plumbing

after testing and, as a result, may have spotted the spa shell or the spa

siding prior to delivery. Before filling the spa, wipe the spa shell clean with

a soft rag.

The following instructions must be read and followed exactly to ensure a

successful start-up or refill.

CAUTIONS

• Do not fill the spa with hot water, as tripping of the high-limit

thermostat may result.

• DO NOT CONNECT POWER TO AN EMPTY SPA. Power to the

spa automatically activates critical components within the

spa, such as controls, heater, and other systems. If power is

supplied to these components prior to the spa being filled,

the components will be damaged, and this may result in a

non-warranty component failure.

• Do not use your spa after filling until all of the steps listed

below are completed.

• Do not add chlorine if treating your spa with

polyhexamethylene biguanide (Biguanide, PHMB, eg.

BaquaSpa

®) sanitizer.

• Before filling your spa for the first time, remove the

equipment compartment door and check to ensure that the

unions on either side of the pump(s) and heater are hand-

tight.

1. ENSURE that the drain is closed and remove the filter compartment

cover, skimmer basket, weir, and filter. Then insert the end of a

garden hose into the filter canister and begin filling the spa. The

water level of your VACANZA series spa should be maintained at

a level one inch above the highest jet in the spa. Reinstall the filter

and then the skimmer basket, and weir once the spa is filled.

IMPORTANT: Watkins Wellness does not recommend that the

spa be filled with “softened” water, as this may damage the spa’s

equipment.

2. AFTER the spa has been filled with water and the equipment

compartment door is secured, power must be applied to the spa.

3. TO CHECK THE OPERATION OF THE JET SYSTEM and to

purge any remaining air from the heating system, push the “JETS”

button on the control panel three times (twice for CAPITOLO,

CELIO & AVENTINE models) to run the jet pump(s) on high speed

for one minute. Once the jet system is fully operational (as indicated

by strong, non-surging jets), priming of the spa is complete. If you

do not feel a steady stream of water from your jets, refer to the

instructions for priming the pump in the SPA TROUBLESHOOTING

section in the back of this manual.

4. SET THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL to the desired temperature

between 38°C (100°F) and 40°C (104°F), then place the spa

cover on the spa and allow the water temperature to stabilize

(approximately 24 hours). Make sure you secure the cover in place

using the cover locks. Periodically check the spa water temperature.

When the water temperature climbs above 32°C (90°F), proceed

to the next step. The spa temperature is pre-programmed to reach

38°C (100°F), and will normally do so within 18 to 24 hours.

5. USING A TEST STRIP AND APPLICABLE CHEMICALS adjust

Total Alkalinity (TA) to 40-120 ppm, Calcium Hardness (CH) to

75-150 ppm, then spa water pH to between 7.2 and 7.8. These

procedures are listed in the “Water Quality and Maintenance”

section.

OPERATION NOTE: Adjusting the Total Alkalinity as the first step

is important, as out-of balance TA will affect your ability to adjust the

pH correctly and will prevent the sanitizer from operating effectively.

IMPORTANT: Activate the Clean cycle (Press "MODE



" or

"MODE▼" until CLEAN is displayed then press "ON



" to activate

clean cycle) before adding spa water chemicals directly into the filter

compartment. Make sure all diverter valves are set to the middle

position.

6. ADD Metal remover if metals are in water. Wait 24 hours before

adding FROG.

7. SUPERCHLORINATE THE SPA WATER by adding 1½ teaspoons

of chlorine (sodium dichlor) per 950 liters (250 gallons) of spa water,

then activate the Clean cycle by pressing "MODE



"or"MODE▼"

until CLEAN is displayed then press the "ON



" button .

8. TEST THE SPA WATER FOR CHLORINE RESIDUAL. If the

residual is between 3 and 5 ppm on the test strips, go on to the next

step. If the residual is less than 3 ppm add 1 teaspoon of chlorine

(sodium dichlor), activate the Clean cycle, and then retest. Repeat if

necessary.

9. IF USING FROG INSTALL FROG bromine and mineral

cartridges. Dial the mineral cartridge to setting 6 and snap into the

top space of the cartridge holder. Dial the bromine cartridge to setting

3 and snap into the bottom space of the cartridge holder.

WARNING: High sanitizer levels can cause discomfort to the user’s

eyes, lungs and skin. Always allow the sanitizer level to fall to the

recommended range before using the spa.

IMPORTANT: Each time the spa is filled with water, you must

remove and reinstall the FROG cap, even if you are not replacing

the cartridge, in order to properly prime the jet pumps.

10. RECHECK the Total Alkalinity (TA) 40-120 ppm, Calcium Hardness

(CH) 50-150 ppm, then spa water pH at between 7.2 and 7.8.

OPERATION NOTE: Make sure you adjust your Total Alkalinity and

pH correctly, this will affect

the sanitizers effectiveness.

The spa is ready for use when the spa water has circulated and

the bromine level remains between 1 and 2 ppm or chlorine level

remains between 3 and 5 ppm.

OPERATION NOTE:

1. Your spa is equipped with a ten-minute timer delay on the heating/

tranquil mode. Whenever the jet pump has been turned off (and a

three-degree temperature drop has occurred) or the temperature

control has been turned up, it will take ten minutes before the low

speed of the jet pump and heater become activated. Always push the

“JETS” button to turn off the jet pump when exiting the spa.

2. The spa controller has an automatic one-hour “time-out” feature

should the high speed jet mode be left on inadvertently. After one

hour of continuous operation, the controller will automatically

return to the maintenance/heating mode.
