2. SPA OVERVIEW (Cont.) 1 AIR VENTURI Turn this dial to increase (slightly) the pressure of the jets in a particular set of seats (usually the one/s closest to the dial) by injecting air into the stream of water to boost it. 2 LED PERIMETER LIGHTING Only on the Revive5 and Grand6 models - a perimeter of mini LED lights surround the top inner edge of the acrylic and can be switched between 13 colour options with the topside control panel. 3 MASSAGE JETS Stainless Steel bearing-less jets come in a variety of sizes and configurations in your spa pool to deliver a range of pressures and massage feels to those persons soaking. Activate by turning on the jet pump via the topside control panel. 4 WATERFALL CONTROL DIAL This smaller three pin valve is used to adjust the flow rate of the waterfall. To turn off - simply twist clockwise until fully closed, and reverse this process to turn on. 5 LED SPEAKERS Only on the Revive5 and Grand6 models - Speakers mounted in the acrylic will play music when a device is plugged into the docking station (located on outside of the spa pool) see #13. A LED backlight provides a touch of class. 6 PRIMARY DIVERTER Device used to customise the pressure and flow of water by diverting from one zone of the spa to another by simply twisting the diverter clockwise and anticlockwise. By having the diverter open to both zones you will evenly distribute water flow and pressure between both. 7 HEADREST Select hydrotherapy seats have headrests as a comfort option to add to the relaxation experience. 05
2. SPA OVERVIEW (Cont.) 8 LED WATERFALL Backlit waterfall produces a steady stream of water and illuminates with the colour of the chosen LED setting. This can be turned on and off using the three pin valve (see #4). 9 LED FLOODLIGHT A large LED floodlight sits below the waterline to tint the water to the desired colour. 10 TOPSIDE CONTROL PANEL Button pad and temperature display panel located on the top of the spa into which various commands, control sequences and options for operating the spa can be input. 11 SKIMMER BOX The skimmer box houses your filter which water is drawn through when the pump is engaged. Remove the lid and basket underneath to remove and clean the filter. 12 PUMP INTAKES Pump intakes sit in the footwell of the spa and the water is drawin through to be expelled back through the jets. 13 INTERNAL DRAIN Water flows out this port when the external drain valve is released. Small Ozone bubbles may emit from time to time during filter cycles. 13 AUDIO DOCKING STATION The waterproof docking station houses your device while you connect it to the audio system via the 3.5mm aux cord. 06
2. SPA OVERVIEW (Cont.) 14 CABINET PANEL Multiple cabinet panels surround the outer edge of your spa which protect the components inside. Each panel is held on with vertical slats which sit either side (see #16). 15 COVER CLIP The female cover clips are not installed by default and need to be screwed into the spa when you first put on your cover. The straps on the cover have a male end which click and lock into this clip and then you release via the key provided. 16 VERTICAL SLAT The multiple vertical slats hold the cabinet panels to the framing of the spa pool. 17 DRAIN VALVE The external drain valve sits on a cabinet panel on one side of the spa pool. Attach a hose and twist and turn to release the flow of water when draining. 07
3. COLLECTION / DELIVERY & SETUP COLLECTION / DELIVERY Trailer Pickup (From CHCH or AUCK Warehouses, or Local Freight Depot) The spa can be forklifted onto your trailer vertical (on it s side for cage trailers) or horizontal (for flat deck / standard no-cage trailers.) Warehouse Collection: Please ensure you have booked a pickup time with PureSpas and your balance has been settled. Take your completed invoice. Freight Depot: When your spa arrives at the freight depot, you will receive a call for you to organize collection. Transport Delivery If your spa is being delivered to your driveway, once arrived, it will be removed from the tail-gate truck via a pallet-jack and left vertical on a pallet. You will then need to organize moving the spa into position either by man-power (4-6 strong persons) or via the use of a local Hiab crane truck. Hiab Crane Truck Assistance A Hiab Crane Truck is a great option for spa delivery and is surprisingly affordable. Local Hiabs range from $80-$140 / hour, usually have a reach between of at least 10m and can lift over fences, hedges, gates and houses. Consider access via a neighbours driveway. SETUP NOTES Shifting Your Spa Moving your spa will require man-power (at least 4-6 persons depending on the size and weight of your model). Packaging Every PureSpa is carefully wrapped in packaging to protect it during transport. Please remove the packaging and recycle/discard. If you notice any damage from transport, please contact us directly. Water Residue You may notice a bit of water residue inside the spa pool, this is because every PureSpa is thoroughly water tested at time of manufacture. 08
4. WIRING & ELECTRICAL INFORMATION SAFETY REQUIREMENTS All electrical connections (except for plugging in) MUST be performed by a licensed electrician and the resulting outcomes must conform to all national, regional and local electrical codes in effect at time of installation. DO NOT TURN ON THE POWER TO YOUR SPA BEFORE IT HAS BEEN FILLED WITH WATER. WIRING & AMP INFORMATION THIS SPA DRAWS NO MORE THAN 15AMPS AT ANY ONE TIME. Cable/Plug A 4.5m 15amp cable with plug has been pre-wired to this Spa pool and can be plugged into an RCD protected 15amp socket (not an ordinary 10amp wall socket). The cable can be found coiled up inside the spa cabinet - see next page for location. Where to Plug In? If you have a 15amp outdoor socket protected by an RCD, then you can plug straight in with the cable provided. If not, please discuss your options with an electrician. Electrical Info 15amps [230-240V AC 50hz IPX5] NO DIP SWITCHES SHOULD NEED TO BE ALTERED OR CHANGED. 09
4. WIRING & ELECTRICAL INFORMATION (Cont.) WIRING ACCESS Where to find your System Controller and Cable. Your Spa Pool controller and 4.5m cable is behind the marked cabinet panel in the above photo. To access, remove the vertical slats (upright binding slats with 3 screws) that are either side of the cabinet panel, to slide the panel out. Cable Exit Point There are no pre-drilled holes for the cable to exit from as each customers spa location/placement will be different. There are a few solutions for your cable inlet/outlet: 1. You can either drill through the cabinet and put in a cable grommet to seal the hole. 2. Drill through the base of the spa if your wire is coming up from underneath. Open a cabinet panel, locate the correct position of your cable and drill from the inside of the spa down through the base. 10
5. INSTALLING & FILLING INSTALLING / POSITIONING Cleaning Your Spa As all PureSpas go through thorough water testing at time of manufacture, there may be some excess water residue inside the spa and pipes. It s a good idea to give your spa a quick wipe down with a cloth before filling with fresh water. Choosing the Best Position When choosing where to position your spa, the first thing you should consider is what is going beneath it. Your spa is very heavy, weighing anything between 1200kg and 2500kg when filled. It is therefore very important you choose an adequate foundation that is strong and level to ensure there is no shifting or strain on the shell or cabinet. The base we recommend you use is either a thick reinforced concrete pad, or a well built deck. If you choose a deck as a base, please check that it complies with all NZ building standards to ensure that it can adequately withstand your spa s weight. Check Drainage You need to be sure the area in which the spa is placed has enough drainage capacity to handle the entire water content of the spa. In the event of spillage, areas around the spa may become wet; therefore, all flooring, furniture, walls and adjacent structures should be moisture-resistant. Check Service Access It is important to consider the access to the cabinets surrounding the Spa Pool. In the unlikely event of a leak or issue with components, a service agent may require access to a particular cabinet. We advise leaving a 600mm perimeter of space around the entire spa, otherwise the spa will need to be moved by the customer into a position suitable for a technician at time of service. 11
5. INSTALLING & FILLING (CONT.) FILLING & INSTALLING THE FILTER Before Opening the Skimmer Box: - Open all the jets in your pool by turning them gently to the left (anti-clockwise) - Unscrew and discard the stainless steel transport screw that may be holding down the top lid (visible in image #2) 1 Grab the top lid with two hands and twist anti-clockwise to detach (can be quite stiff). 2 Lift off the lid to reveal the basket grill underneath. 3 Lift out the basket grill and place aside. 4 See inside the skimmer box the circular holding piece to which the filter needs to sit into. 5 Insert the filter and place it over the circular holding piece so it sits tight. 6 Insert the basket grill into the top of the filter so it sits tight. 7 8 9 Press the basket down gently to ensure a tight fit. Replace the top lid and put a hose into the skimmer box as seen above to fill. Fill until the water line sits an inch or so below the headrests. You may need to adjust this depending on bather load. 12
5. INSTALLING & FILLING (CONT.) DRAINING Operating the Drain Valve The drain valve has a simple turn & lock mechanism and an inner twist cap which prevents the water from flowing out. Water will not flow unless in the open position and inner twist cap has been unscrewed. Flow locked (Extended Position) Flow open (Retracted Position Inner twist cap still to be undone) Draining Water Your spa pool needs to be drained and refilled every 3-4 months depending on usage. See water treatment section below for more details. 1 Start with the drain in the Flow Locked position (extended) 2 Unthread the inner twist cap and remove it. 3 Thread in the hose-adaptor piece if required. 4 Screw on a male-end hose attachment. 5 Attach your hose and run the end to a drain location 6 Push and twst the valve into the Flow Open position (retracted) to release the water. 13
6. UNDERSTANDING YOUR SPA OPERATING YOUR TOPSIDE CONTROLLER This Spa uses the Spa Power SP601 Controller and Panel from Spa Quip (Davies). You can also download a copy of your control panel manual from: http://www.alpinespas.co.nz/purespas/ OR CONTACT sales@purespas.co.nz 0800 000 827 WATER TREATMENT Ozone All PureSpas are equipped with the latest Ozone purification system. Ozone is a highly effective method of destroying bacteria and removing impurities. It s drip fed into the water line and forced to mix with water in a specialty mixing chamber which reduces the amount of additional sanitizer required. Water Maintanence An integral part of owning a spa pool is sanitizing and balancing the water - this is vital for your enjoyment when bathing but also to protect the spa and it s components. A full kit should be purchased and regular water maintanence undertaken to to protect your health and prevent warranty issues. A handy Spa Pool Water Care Handbook is included with a startup kit purchased at PureSpas, Alpine Spas or Spa Supplies. 14
7. FAQ / TROUBLESHOOTING COVER LIFTER SETUP How much clearance does the Cover Lifter need to operate? The cover lifter (optional accessory) requires at least 500mm of clearance from the edge of spa pool to the wall to function. What sides can it be installed on? The cover lifter has specific sides it can be installed on depending on the model - see our pre-delivery guide for more information. TROUBLESHOOTING / FAQ What amp is my spa? 15amp Does the spa have a cable/plug? Yes a 15amp cable is coiled up inside the spa cabinet. What side do I need to keep free for access? A 600mm perimetre of clear space should be provided around the spa. In instances where this is not acheivable, ensure the spa is movable (if required) to a position that is servicable.
