This manual provides essential instructions for the safe installation, operation, and maintenance of your Bestway AirJet or AirJet Plus Spa. Always test the GFCI plug before each use and ensure the spa is filled with water before turning on the pump to prevent damage. For setup, ensure the surface is flat, smooth, and has adequate drainage. If the ambient temperature is below 59°F (15°C), inflate the spa indoors to avoid damaging the liner.
Safety Information
Read and follow all instructions. Failure to follow safety guidelines can result in serious injury or death. Key safety points include:
- Electrical Safety: Use a grounded socket. Do not use extension cords or multi-plug adapters. Test the GFCI before every use. Keep the pump at least 5 feet (1.5 m) away from metal surfaces and electrical appliances.
- Water Safety: Never exceed 104°F (40°C). Consult a physician if you have health conditions, are pregnant, or are taking medication. Do not use the spa alone.
- Child Safety: Always attach the spa cover after use to prevent unauthorized access.
Setup Instructions
Before assembly, check all parts against the list on the package. Choose a location that can support the weight of the filled spa and is close to a power outlet. Do not assemble on surfaces that could harbor moisture or bacteria (e.g., carpet, untreated cork). For inflation, use the provided pump and ensure the air valve is tight. If the outdoor temperature is below 42.8°F (6°C), the spa heater must remain on to utilize the Freeze Shield® system.
Usage Instructions
The control panel allows you to manage the spa functions:
- ON/OFF: Press and hold for 2 seconds to activate or deactivate.
- Lock/Unlock: Press for 2 seconds to lock the pump.
- Heat: Activates the heating system. The light turns red when active and green when the set temperature is reached.
- Massage: Activates the massage system (30-minute auto-shutoff). Do not use with the cover attached.
- Water Filter: Turns the filter pump on and off.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance is crucial for the health of your spa:
- Filter Cartridge: Check and clean daily; replace weekly or when soiled.
- Water Chemistry: Maintain proper levels (pH 7.4-7.6, Free Available Chlorine 2.0-4.0 ppm). Use a test kit regularly.
- Cleaning: Use mild detergent and water for the liner and cover. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues, consult the troubleshooting section. Common solutions include checking the power source, cleaning the filter, ensuring the cover is properly attached, or resetting the GFCI. If error codes (E01-E09) appear, refer to the specific error code table in the manual for corrective actions.
