All jets, regardless of style return the water to the spa. Air is mixed with the water by using the air controls if equipped creating 2. This Panel is used to control the water temperature, pumps, the spa light, automatic filtration cycles and other advanced functions.
The digital display will give you a constant temperature readout and will notify you in case of certain malfunctions. Page 15 This produces water flow through the heater in the spa and provides the water flow necessary to actuate the ozone generator. This fractional HP pump runs 24 hours a day for efficient filtration and heating. This pump is standard on all Down East models. Page Electrical Installation Requirements 8 AWG copper wire and must be connected securely to a grounded metal structure such as a cold water pipe.
The only electrical supply for your spa must include a 50 AMP switch or circuit breaker to open all non-grounded supply conductors to comply with section of the National Electrical Code. Please have your Master Spas dealer or delivery service review site or installation plans prior to delivery.
Page Installation Instructions Due to the nature of water flow and hydro-therapy pumps, please be advised that air locking of pumps may occur. Master Spas has taken measures to reduce the possibility of this, but it still may occur, especially after refilling a spa. This is not a service covered under warranty. Parts per million, or ppm: This is a form of measurement used in most pool or spa chemical readings. Best described as any one million like items of equal size and make up, next to one unlike item , but of equal size.
Sanitizers: This is what kills the germs and bacteria that enter the water from the environment and the human body. Clean the surface with a spa general purpose cleaner or wipe down with a clean wet towel. Begin filling the spa with fresh water. If possible, do not use softened water.
When the spa has 2 to 4 inches of water on the bottom, add the recommended amount of a sequestering chemical for that size spa. Wait 15 minutes, retest and adjust if necessary. The pump should be running on high speed during this time with the air controls closed. Adding water adds more salts, minerals, and metals. In time, the water can become saturated with these dissolved solids and can cause stains or scale to form on the walls of the spa or a scale build up inside the equipment.
It is recommended that you clean your spa at least every days. Heavy bather load will require cleaning it more often. Page Winterizing Your Spa Replace access panels.
Cover spa to prevent water from entering the spa. If you choose to do so, any damage that may result is not covered under the spa warranty.
Be sure to open all valves and jets in the plumbing system before filling to allow as much air as possible to escape from the plumbing and the control system during the filling process. If left running, the pump will turn off after a time-out period. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this terminal must be connected to the grounding means provided in the electric supply service panel with a continuous copper wire equivalent in size to the circuit All jets, regardless of style return the water to the spa.
Air is mixed with the water by using the air controls if equipped creating a gentle to most vigorous massage. Water flow is adjusted by simply turning the outer face of the jet. Your Master Spa will have a combination of pulsating, rotating, dual pulsating and directional adjustable jets. Your most recent searches Delete. Frequent searches. Other sections.

Catalog excerpts. Open the catalog to page 3. Open the catalog to page 5. Open the catalog to page 6. Open the catalog to page 7. With high alkalinity it becomes extremely difficult to change the pH.
The greater the concentration of active hydrogen ions, the lower the pH. In spas when ever possible, a measurement between 7. Whenever possible, it should be between 7.
Shocking: This is when you add either extra chlorine superchlorinate by raising the chlorine level above 8 ppm, or add a non-chlorine shock potassium monoperoxysulfate or potassium monopersulfate to burn off the chloramines or bromamines.
A non-chlorine shock acts by releasing oxygen in the water, which serves the same function as chlorine. The advantage to using non-chlorine shock, is you can enter the water within 15 minutes after shocking. Using chlorine, you must wait until the total chlorine reading is below 5 ppm. One thing to remember, a non-chlorine shock will not kill bacteria or disinfect. Sequestering: This can be defined as the ability to form a chemical complex which remains in solution, despite the presence of a precipitating agent i.
Common names for sequestering chemicals are; minquest, stain and scale control, metal-x, spa defender, spa metal gone, etc. Filtration: Filters are necessary to remove particles of dust, dirt, algae, etc. If the spa is not operated long enough each day for the filter to do a proper job, this puts a burden on the chemicals, causing extra expense.
Filtration time will depend on the spa size, pump and filter size, and of course, bather load. A spare cartridge should be kept on hand to make it easy to frequently clean the cartridge without the need for a long shut down.
This will also allow the cartridge to dry out between usages, which will increase the cartridge life span as much as twice. Replace the cartridge when the pleats begin to deteriorate. Cartridge cleaning should be done a minimum of once a month. More often with a heavy bather load.
Sanitizers: This is what kills the germs and bacteria that enter the water from the environment and the human body. Chlorine 1. Only one type is approved for spa use. Sodium dichlor which is granular, fast dissolving and pH neutral chlorine. Chlorine is an immediate sanitizer. Bromine Note: Bromine use is not recommended with Eco Pur filters. Two types of tablets.
Hydrotech b. Lonza 2. Bromine is a slow dissolve chemical and may take a few days to develop a reserve or reading in the water. Total dissolved solids TDS : Materials that have been dissolved by the water. Like what happens when you put sugar in coffee or tea.
Useful life of water in days : Water should be drained at least once every days. Useful life may vary by usage and bather load.
Defoamer: Foaming may be caused by body oils, cosmetics, lotions, surface cleaners, high pH or algeacides as well as other organic materials. Low levels of calcium or sanitizer can also cause foaming. Also, double rinse your bathing suits as they will hold residual soap after being washed. Calcium hardness: Water that is too hard over ppm can promote scale formation in components and on spa surface.
Water that is too low below ppm may also shorten the life of metal components on the spa. NOTE: Always leave spa cover open for 15 minutes after adding chemicals to prevent the off gas from damaging your spa cover, spa pillows and other critical parts.
Read the spa owners manual first. Clean the surface with a spa general purpose cleaner or wipe down with a clean wet towel. Begin filling the spa with fresh water. If possible, do not use softened water. When the spa has 2 to 4 inches of water on the bottom, add the recommended amount of a sequestering chemical for that size spa.
See the chemical bottle for correct amounts. When the spa is full, run the pumps on high speed for 30 minutes without air controls open. This will give the sequestering chemical time to mix well with the water. Allow sequestering chemical hours to properly filter in the water before proceeding with any further steps. Wait 15 minutes, retest, and adjust if necessary. The pump should be running on high speed during this time without air controls open. Using test strips or a test kit, test for pH, and adjust if necessary to within the 7.
The pump should be running on high speed during this time, without air controls open. Add the sanitizer of choice, following label directions.
If chlorine is used, broadcast the recommended amount across the surface of the water, with the pump running on high speed. Wait 15 minutes, retest, and adjust if necessary to a total chlorine reading of 1 to 3 ppm. If bromine is used, add bromine tablets to the bromine feeder following label directions. With the pump running on high speed, add 2oz. It may take several days adjusting the bromine feeder to obtain a total bromine reading of 3 to 5 ppm. A bromine reading may not be obtained on the first day.
If any foam develops, add a defoamer at the base of the problem area. Use only enough defoamer to get rid of the foam. This is usually one or two drops Do not pour large amounts of defoamer into water. Wait two days, and begin a three day a week maintenance program.
Wait 15 minutes, retest and adjust if necessary. The pump should be running on high speed during this time with the air controls closed. Test and adjust pH, if necessary, to within the range of 7. Test and adjust sanitizer level.
Add chlorine following label directions to maintain a free chlorine level of 1 to 3 ppm. If using bromine, adjust feeder to maintain a total bromine level of 3 to 5 ppm.
Add bromine tablets to the dispenser if necessary, following label directions. Add a water clarifier following label directions. If the spa is equipped with an ozone unit, we recommend adding an enzyme product in place of the clarifier, following the label directions. Use a small amount of defoamer only if necessary.
Day Two Skip Day Three 1. Test and adjust the pH, if necessary, to within the range of 7. Add sequestering chemical, following label directions for maintenance. If necessary, clean water line with a spa general purpose cleaner or enzyme product. Use a defoamer only if necessary. Day Four Skip cont. Shock with 2oz. A spa should be shocked at least once a week even if it is not used. If using chlorine as the sanitizer, the spa should be shocked whenever a free chlorine reading of 1 to 3 ppm cannot be obtained without raising the total chlorine level above 5 ppm.
Always shock a spa after any heavy bather load. Check filter cartridge and clean if necessary. Clean with cartridge filter cleaner, following label directions. It is best to have a spare cartridge on hand, to prevent long spa down times while the cartridge is being cleaned. Never operate your spa without the filters in place.
Day Six and Seven Skip With a spa you are working with a small volume of hot water compared to a large volume of relatively cool water in a swimming pool. Because of this chemicals will have a shorted life span and bacteria can grow more quickly than in a swimming pool.
A spa is less forgiving then a pool and requires that whatever is put into it have s pH as close to neutral as possible. That is why only chemicals made for spas should be used. Evaporation: As water evaporates, only pure water evaporates, leaving the salts, minerals, metals, and any unused chemicals behind.
Adding water adds more salts, minerals, and metals. In time, the water can become saturated with these dissolved solids and can cause stains or scale to form on the walls of the spa or a scale build up inside the equipment. Colored or cloudy water, and possible corrosion of plumbing and fittings may also occur.
Heat: Heat causes much quicker evaporation and also will cause minerals and metals to precipitate out of solution. Air: Dust and airborne dirt particles are introduced into the spa.
Environment: The environment surrounding the spa can also impact the water quality. Items such as pollen, grass, sand, dirt, lawn fertilizer, airborne dust, insects, leaves, and pets can all affect the water quality of the spa. Remember: The maintenance routines set forth in this manual may need to be adjusted depending on how much the spa is being used.
It is recommended that you clean your spa at least every days. Heavy bather load will require cleaning it more often. Do not use paper towels.
Be sure to rinse residue from spa surface. Consult your dealer. Not only are they essential for clean water, but they also extend the life of the spa equipment. Your filter elements should be cleaned on a regular basis, once a month on average with normal usage. With heavy use the filters may need to be cleaned more often.
Debris can be pulled into the plumbing system and cause unwarranted damage. Periodically,theelementsneedto be soaked in a filter cleaner compound. Thisshouldhelpto eliminate pillows becoming stiff and discolored. Signs of off gas damage include but are not limited to pillows peeling and bubbling, cover failing prematurely, plastics failing, etc. Your spa is designed to be used year round in any type of climate.
Use a shop vac to get all standing water out of your unit. Remove access panels from equipment area. Loosen all pump unions 5. Remove winterizing plug from face of the pump s where applicable. Using your shop vac in a blowing mode, insert the hose into the nozzle of each jet and blow the trapped water from the lines into the interior of the spa.
After this is completed, use the shop vac to remove any standing water in the spa and in the equipment area. Clean the spa with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive spa surface cleaner. Replace access panels. Cover spa to prevent water from entering the spa. If you choose to do so, any damage that may result is not covered under the spa warranty. Some panels only have one Temperature Button. Panels that have two Temperature buttons can use both of them to simplify navigation and programming where a single Temperature icon is shown.
Typical use of the Temperature button s allows changing the Set Temperature while the numbers are flashing in the LCD. The menus can be exited with certain button presses.
Waiting for 10 seconds will return the panel to normal operation and a display of spa status. Press any button to Link the Panel with the System. Each time the System powers up, a series of numbers is displayed.
Be sure to open all valves and jets in the plumbing system before filling to allow as much air as possible to escape from the plumbing and the control system during the filling process. After turning the power on at the main power panel, the top-side panel display will go through specific sequences.
These sequences are normal and display a variety of information regarding the configuration of the hot tub control. Regardless of whether the priming mode ends automatically or you manually exit the priming mode, the system will automatically return to normal heating and filtering at the end of the priming mode.
During the priming mode, the heater is disabled to allow the priming process to be completed without the possibility of energizing the heater under low-flow or no-flow conditions. The pumps will now be running in high-speed to facilitate priming. If the pumps have not primed after 2 minutes, and water is not flowing from the jets in the spa, do not allow the pumps to continue to run.
Turn off the pumps and repeat the process. Note: Turning the power off and back on again will initiate a new pump priming session. Sometimes momentarily turning the pump off and on will help it to prime. Do not do this more than 5 times. If the pump s will not prime, shut off the power to the spa and refer to page Important: A pump should not be allowed to run without priming for more than 2 minutes. Under NO circumstances should a pump be allowed to run without priming beyond the end of the minute priming mode.
Doing so may cause damage to the pump and cause the system to energize the heater and go into an overheat condition. Note that if you do not manually exit the priming mode as described above, the priming mode will be automatically terminated after minutes. Be sure that the pump s have been primed by this time. Once the system has exited Priming Mode, the top-side panel will momentarily display the set temperature but the display will not show the temperature yet, as shown below.
This is because the system requires approximately 1 minute of water flowing through the heater to determine the water temperature and display it. If left running, the pump will turn off after a time-out period. The pump 1 low-speed will time out after 30 minutes. The high-speed will time out after 15 minutes.
On non-circ systems, the low-speed of pump 1 runs when any other pump is on. If the spa is in Ready Mode See page 32 , Pump 1 low may also activate for at least 1 minute every 30 minutes to detect the spa temperature polling and then to heat to the set temperature if needed. When the low-speed turns on automatically, it cannot be deactivated from the panel, however the high speed may be started.
The system is factory-programmed with one filter cycle that will run in the evening assuming the time-of-day is properly set when energy rates are often lower. The filter time and duration are programmable. See page 36 A second filter cycle can be enabled as needed. At the start of each filter cycle, Pump 2 if there is one will run briefly to purge its plumbing to maintain good water quality.
The pump s will run either continuously or periodically depending on conditions. Pressing a temperature button again will adjust the set temperature in the direction indicated on the button.
When the LCD stops flashing, the spa will heat to the new set temperature when required. If the panel has a single temperature button, pressing the button will cause the temperature to flash. Pressing the button again will cause the temperature to change in one direction e. After allowing the display to stop flashing, pressing the Temperature Button will cause the temperature to flash and the next press will change the temperature in the opposite direction e.
If only one temperature button is available and the limit of the Temperature Range is reached when the button is being held, the progression will reverse direction. The Ranges are chosen using the menu structure below. Each range maintains its own set temperature as programmed by the user.
