3. Upon your return, check the level of sanitation of your spa

water. If the chlorine test reads "O" and you have been gone an

extended period of time, SUPERCHLORINATE the spa water

to ensure all organisms and algae are oxidized. The spa water

will be safe for you to use once the Free Chlorine Residual is

below 5.0PPM.

Prevention of Freezing

The QCA Spa has been designed and engineered for year-

round use in any climate. The energy efficiency of the spa

may decrease during these cold periods, as the heater will

cycle more frequently. If a freeze condition is detected,

the low-speed pump will automatically activate. This is a

normal spa function; no corrective action is necessary.

Freeze protection is enabled regardless of the spa's status.

Winterizing

In very cold weather you may not want to venture outside

to use your spa. In this case, you may move it to a heated

area, or leave it as is until the weather warms. If you do

leave the spa unused for a long period of time in severely

cold weather, you should winterize the spa to avoid

accidental freezing due to a power or equipment failure..

Follow these easy steps: Turn power to the spa OFF.

Drain the spa. Use a wet vac to suck or blow out the air

injectors, water jets and water suction fittings. Add 1-3

gallons of RV antifreeze, depending on the size of the spa,

to all the air injectors, water jets, suction drains, and filter.

Caution: Any lines not receiving adequate antifreeze

are subject to freeze damage!

Spa and Cabinet Maintenance

Acrylic Finish - The acrylic finish on all QCA spas is

impervious to most of the problems associated with

non-acrylic finished spas and requires very little effort

to keep it looking bright, shiny and clean. Every one

or two months the spa should be drained, cleaned,

polished and refilled. For the cleaning, use any non-

abrasive cleaner. There are several non-abrasive

products on the market that can be used for polishing.

Made specifically for acrylic spas are

cleaner/polish/sealer combinations, which contain

reactive silicones instead of wax. If these are not

available, any high quality silicone automotive polish

will suffice.

Thermo Guard Cabinet Care – Handcrafted

maintenance free cabinet surfaces may need to be

wiped down from time to time with a soap and water

solution or simply sprayed with a garden hose. Use of

harsh chemicals to clean the surface will cause the

cabinet to discolor.

Troubleshooting

Please Note: The following corrective actions may be performed by the spa owner. If the trouble cannot be corrected in the

steps below, please refer to your QCA Spas, Inc. Dealer for service. (Improper servicing by an unauthorized serviceman or

spa owner could result in damage that will not be covered by the warranty, or could cause serious injury.)Diagnostic

messages-If failure occurs check control pad read out for diagnostic message.

SYMPTONS

CORRECTIVE ACTION

Equipment does not operate

Check to see if the power cord is plugged in.

Test the GFCI to see if it has “tripped”. IMPORTANT: If the GFCI trips repeatedly, do not

use the spa, and contact your dealer. Check the circuit breaker in the main circuit panel.

Pump does not work

(in low speed)

Check that the water valves are completely open. Inspect the filter cartridge for dirt and

debris. Clean or replace. Check for blockages or restrictions at the main drain and catch

basket. Check for blockages or restrictions at jets. Check fill level or water level.

Pump does not work

(in high speed)

Push the button for high speed jet. Check the above items if “Pump does not work”

Inadequate jet action

The filter cartridge may be clogged. Pull the cartridge from the filter canister. If the jet

action improves, clean or replace the filter. Check the spa water level. Water must be above

minimum water level. Check that the water valves are completely open. Check jet orifice for

blockage. Clear if blocked.

No heat

Check all steps in "Equipment does not operate." Push any button to reset. Check that the

temperature dial is set for the desired temperature. Remember: Do not expect hot water

immediately from the jets. The heater will raise temperature 2-6 degrees per hour if covered

with Soft Top

™

. (Soft Top is a foam cover that is not affected by chemicals normally found

in spas. It is a closed cell foam which resists water absorption and helps to create a moisture

barrier. ) Inspect the filter cartridge for dirt and debris. Check if pump is operating. Follow

the step in the “Pump does not work.”

Underwater spa light does

not work

Tighten the light bulb in the socket, located in the equipment bay.

Replace the 12-volt light bulb.

Water is cloudy

Check the water chemistry balance and replenish as needed.

Clean or replace the filter cartridge.
