Setting up a WAVESPAS inflatable spa is straightforward, but following these steps will ensure optimal performance and longevity.
Step 1: Choose a Location
Place your spa on a flat, level surface – concrete, deck, or compacted gravel. Avoid grass as it can shift. Ensure access to a GFCI-protected outlet within 10 feet.
Step 2: Unbox and Inflate
Lay out the spa liner and connect the pump. Turn the dial to “Inflate” – it takes about 3-5 minutes. Once firm, attach the cover.
Step 3: Fill with Water
Use a garden hose to fill to the marked line (usually 80% full). Do not overfill. Add the included chemical starter pack according to instructions.
Step 4: Heat and Enjoy
Set the desired temperature (up to 104°F). Heating takes 6-12 hours. While waiting, check our WAVESPAS review for performance tips.
Maintenance Tips
- Water care: Test pH and chlorine levels weekly. Use the floating dispenser.
- Filter cleaning: Rinse the cartridge every 3-4 days, replace monthly.
- Winter use: The freeze protection system kicks in automatically. Keep the cover on when not in use.
- Storage: Drain completely, dry, and store in a cool, dry place.
Troubleshooting
- Error codes: Most are resolved by restarting the pump. Check the manual.
- Not heating: Ensure the filter is clean and the cover is on.
- Leaks: Patch kits are available; small punctures can be repaired easily.
