Nozzle placements for Drop X and Vuolle.

If necessary, contact us for assistance with planning your spa site. The spa's placement must be planned well with regard to the comfort and safety of use. The spa should be placed in an open spot if possible. Leaves falling from trees and other dirt may easily end up in the spa water during bathing sessions. 
The spa must be installed and stored in such a way that it rests on its frame. Do not lower the spa to rest on its top edge or have the spa resting against a terrace, for example, in such a way that the top edge carries the spa's weight. The plans are indicative examples of the installation.

Please take into consideration the effect of frost when designing the base.

The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by an incorrectly installed spa.

FOUNDATION

Service hatch

Spa base must be level, loadbearing, and horizontal. The most suitable bases are made of concrete, gravel, wood, or some other hard base material. The base must be able to withstand a weight of 2,500 kg without sinking or deforming.

There must be no less than 50 cm of space around the outdoor spa for any required servicing measures. It must be possible to open the service hatches located on the side of the spa without impediment. If you want to sink the spa into a terrace, you will need to make a separate service hatch in the terrace. The service hatch must allow the side panels to be opened and provide enough room to work next to the spa if necessary.

In case you surround the spa with skirting, all side doors must be accessible to enable service maintenance.

The filter can be replaced without opening the service door.

The spa is delivered in an upright position by a truck with a utility trailer unless otherwise agreed. Remove the plastic packaging, cardboard, and any other equipment or parts delivered inside the spa before turning the spa to its correct position. Four to six (4-6) people are needed to turn the spa to its correct position. 

Installation and startup

Roughly four to six (4-6) people are needed to move the spa. Special care must be taken when moving the spa to prevent accidents. When the spa is lowered into a hole in a terrace, for example, it is recommended that moving straps be used to ensure safe installation. Grooves for moving straps can be found on the bottom of the spa.

Don't leave the spa exposed to sun light without spa cover or without water.

PLEASE NOTE! Do not connect power to the spa until it is filled with water!

1. Turn the jets until they are open.

2. Before using the spa, check that all the threaded connections of the pumps are firmly secured. The threaded connections may come loose during transportation.

3. Fill the spa with water using a garden hose, for example (see here how to fill the spa), in such a way that the water level is approx. 10 cm below the edge of the spa.

4. The electrical installation may only be carried out by a licensed electrician. Do not connect power until the spa is filled with water. See Electrical installation.

5. After power is turned on, the spa display (located in the equipment compartment) will show setup data, after which the text RUN | PMPS | PURG | AIR | -- -- -- -will blink on the display. This initialization will last 4–5 minutes.

6. If the error message HTR | MAY | BE | DRY | -- -- -- -- | WAIT | -- -- -- -- shows on the display within the first few minutes, it indicates that there is air in the pump. In this case, see the instructions for clearing an airlock.

7. Turn on the pumps and check that water is coming out of all jets.

Clearing an airlock

An airlock causes the jets to malfunction. An airlock is often caused by filling the spa too quickly, which results in air being trapped in the piping. This prevents the pump from prefilling and the water from circulating properly.

1. Open the service hatch and turn the threaded connection on top of the pump slightly open.

2. When water starts coming out, tighten the connection and turn on the pump. The pump will pump for a moment, after which the water will start to flow properly.

3. Dry any spilled water and close the service hatch. Your outdoor spa is ready for use.
