Spas are known for their helpful qualities such as hydrotherapy and arthritic relief.

But spas are not only a toy, there are several health concerns which the owner

must be aware of such as the following:

WARNING People with infectious diseases should not use a spa.

The use of alcohol, drugs or medication before or during spa use may lead to uncon-

sciousness with the possibility of drowning.

Do Not use the spa immediately following strenuous exercise.

Persons suffering from heart disease, diabetes, high or low blood pressure or any other

serious illness and pregnant women should consult with their physician before using the

spa.

Excessive water temperature can be dangerous. Before entering the spa, the user should

measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer, since the tolerance of the

water temperature regulating devices may vary as much as +/-3°C(5°F) The Water should

never exceed 40°C (104°F) and lower water temperature is recommended for extended

use (exceeding 10-15 minutes) and for young children.

Long exposure at higher temperature can result in dizziness and/or hyperthermia.

Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several

degrees above the normal body temperature of 98°F (36.7°C). The symptoms of hyper-

thermia include dizziness, fainting, drowsiness or lethargy.

The affects of hyperthermia include:

• Unawareness of impending hazard

• Failure to perceive heat

• Failure to recognize the need to exit the spa

• Physical inability to exit the spa

• Fetal damage in pregnant women

• Unconsciousness resulting in a danger of drowning

Children should be supervised at all times.

Health Safety

DO NOT OPERATE SPA WITHOUT CORRECT WATER LEVEL!

Keep all jets under water with exception of “neck jets”.

Actual features included in spa’s descriptions and photos are subject to change without notice.

Spa Location:

Improper installation may result in equipment damage and will void the warranty. Your spa

must be placed on a flat, level surface.

The space you choose to install your spa is a very important decision, you should consider all

of the listed suggestions.

Check your local code office for understanding of building, fencing, gates, electrical,

plumbing and enclosure required codes.

Alocation should be selected to compliment your lifestyle, the view from your house and

the ability to supervise the spa.

Position the spa in relation to the surroundings of trees, sunlight exposure, wind, bathroom

location, landscaping and evening lighting.

The spa with water is very heavy, if the spa is placed on flooring or decking, be sure the

structure is strong enough to support the weight. The necessary support should be at least

75 pounds per square foot.

Install your spa, in a way that will allow easy access to the equipment door.

Storage area for maintenance equipment and chemicals (storing chemicals inside your

spa cabinet will void the warranty)

Indoor Considerations:

All of the interior of the spa location must be able to withstand high humidity. The spa chemi-

cals may have some corrosive effect.

Floor drain is needed to carry off splashed water from the spa.

It is strongly advised NOT to locate a spa on second story location that may be above fin-

ished living space.

Installation - Spa placement

Electrical - General Instructions

220V Monaco Electrical Connections:

Three Wire

& Ground

These wires go to

the PC Board

Control Circuit.

TERMINAL

BLOCK

GRD

It is recommended that a licensed electrician install the power to your spa, in accordance with

the National Electric Code or any local electrical codes in effect at the time of installation.

Power supply installation must include a properly rated GFCI circuit breaker. The circuit

breaker must be dedicated and cannot be shared with any other appliances. It should be

labeled and easily accessible to users. Power supply must be hard wired into the power

pack. DO NOT USE EXTENSION OR PLUG-TYPE CORDS OF ANY KIND. The use of a

shut-off box near the spa is recommended. Metal surfaces within 5 feet of the spa must be

grounded to the spa.

Connections should be made using copper conductors only. The connecting wire and circuit breakers

or fuses must be sized to accommodate the total ampere load as specified on the equipment module

data label.

Strong Pools and Spas only makes electrical recommendations, always consult a certified electrician.

This change must be performed by a certified electrician.

Control Panel Identification

BEFORE START UP! IMPORTANT UNION ADJUSTMENTS

There are SIX unions that require hand tightening prior to operation of your spa.

When filling the spa with water, keep observing these fittings for any slight water

drips. If a drip is observed, just hand tighten until dripping ceases.

Blower This key is not used to activate any operation in Strong Spas.

Jets Touch the “Jets” button once to activate the low speed of the pump and again

for the high speed. Press the “Jets button again to turn off the pump. If left run-

ning, the low speed of the pump will automatically turn off after 4 hours, and

the high speed will automatically turn off after 15 minutes. It may also activate

for at least 2 minutes every 30 minutes to detect the spa temperature and then

to heat to the set temperature if needed, depending upon mode. When the low

speed turns on automatically, it cannot be deactivated from the panel; however,

the high speed may be started.

Temp The start-up temperature is set at 100ºF/37ºC. The last measured temperature

is constantly displayed on the LCD.

To display the set temperature, press the “Temp”button once.

To change the set temperature, press the button a second time before the LCD

stops flashing. Each press of the “Temp” button will continue to either raise or

lower the set temperature.

If the opposite direction is desired, release the button and let the display revert

to the current water temperature. Press the button to display the set tempera-

ture, and again to make the temperature change in the desired direction. after

3 seconds, the LCD will stop flashing and display the current temperature.

Light There are several color options in our spas and by pressing the light button in

quick succession the customer can cycle through the different lighting options.

Startup Preparations

- Make sure that if spa is equipped with gate valves, that valves are opened. (These gate

valves are easily noticed in your access area by the distinct “T” shaped handle.)

- When filling your spa remove the filter, and place hose into filter area.This will fill the plumb-

ing first, and hopefully reduce the chance of air lock.

- Fill your spa above top jets (excluding neck jets).

- Spa capacity: 222 gallons/840 liters

POWERING SPA

- Power up spa, Controls will read (Pr), this indicates priming mode, which is intended to clear

unwanted air. Priming mode will last less than five (5) minutes and begin normal operations.

A-Most spas do not require pump priming

B - Purge will clear lines of un-desired air pockets

C - If pump makes inconsistent sounds, “cavitations”,then it will need primed (this can be

done by loosening the unions)

- Top display will then read water temperature.

Due to the variations in spas and outside conditions, spas may take up to 24 hours to

reach desired temperature.

Changing Filter Cycles

FILTRATION

Proper filtration is an important key to maintaining the clarity of your spa's water. The filter system is designed for

unsurpassed effectiveness at removing debris and suspensions from the water anytime the water is circulating.

Your control panel is set to filter for two hours every twelve hours. A two speed pump is supplied with your spa that

provides filtration on low speed, the low speed will shut off if the temperature creeps more than 2 degrees above

the set point, it will turn back on when temperature drops to the set point.

The filter cycle begins six (6) minutes after the spa is energized. The second filter cycle begins 12 hours later. filter

duration is programmable for 2, 4, 6, 8 hours of for continuous filtration (indicated by FILC). the default filter time is

2 hours.

To program, press “Temp” then “Jets”. Press “Temp” to adjust. Press “Jets” to exit programming. The default filter

time is 2 hours.
