10. Never insert any object into any opening.
2. Use the hydrotherapy spa only as described
in this manual.
11. Do not use breakable containers near or in
the hydrotherapy spa.
3. The hydrotherapy spa is intended for home
use only. Do not use this product in any
commercial, rental, or institutional setting.
12. Do not sit on the spa cover or place objects
on it. It is not designed to support weight.
4. Use the hydrotherapy spa only on a level
surface. Do not use the hydrotherapy spa on
carpet or other materials that could be dam-
aged by moisture. Do not use the hydrother-
apy spa on rough or sharp surfaces such as
gravel or wood chips.
13. Remove any water or debris which may col-
lect on the spa cover.
14. Keep children under 12 and pets away from
the hydrotherapy spa when it is not in use.
15. Keep all chemicals away from children and
pets.
5. The hydrotherapy spa will weigh approxi-
mately 2000 pounds when it is filled with
water. Be sure that the location you select for 16. The pH and chemical balance of the water

must be maintained as explained in this man-
ual (see pages 10 and 15). Failure to do so
may cause injury to users or damage to the
spa, and will void the warranty.
6. Inspect and tighten all parts regularly; replace
any worn or missing parts immediately.
17. Individuals with infections and open sores or
wounds should not use the hydrotherapy
spa. Bacteria thrive in warm and hot water.
Always keep your spa disinfected and main-
tain the proper chemical balance.
7. DANGERÑRisk of injury: Do not remove or
alter the covers on the suction fittings. Never
operate the hydrotherapy spa if the suction
guard is missing or broken. If you need to
replace a suction fitting, be sure that the flow
rate of the replacement is compatible. Keep
hair and body away from the suction guard.
Do not allow long hair to float freely in the
water; long hair should be restrained with a
bathing cap.
18. Shower before and after using the hydrother-
apy spa. This will remove any deodorant,
perspiration, or body oils which could conta-
minate the water. Showering after will
remove any residual chemicals and will also
remove any bacteria which may have been in
the spa.
8. IMPORTANT: Do not allow the hydrotherapy
spa to be exposed to direct sunlight when it
is empty. The surface of the spa shell can
reach temperatures as high as 150¡F in a
matter of minutes if exposed to the sun while
it is empty. These high temperatures can
cause significant damage, such as blistering
of the shell surface and warping of the spa
shell. Any damage caused by sun exposure
is not covered under warranty.
19. DANGERÑWhen connecting the power cord
(see PLUGGING IN THE HYDROTHERAPY
SPA on page 10), plug the power cord direct-
ly into a grounded circuit capable of carrying
15 or more amps. No other appliance should
be on the same circuit. Replace the power
cord immediately if damaged.

20. Do not use an extension cord with the
hydrotherapy spa. This could damage the
motor and will void the warranty.
28. DANGERÑTo reduce the risk of drowning:
¥ Never use the hydrotherapy spa alone;
¥ Children should not use the hydrotherapy
spa unless they are supervised by an adult;
¥ Keep pets away from the hydrotherapy spa
at all times;
21. DANGERÑIf you will be using the hydrother-
apy spa outside, do not bury the power cord;
you should also keep the power cord away
from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, and
other similar equipment.
¥ Always replace and lock the spa cover
when the hydrotherapy spa is not in use.
29. WARNINGÑTo reduce the risk of injury: The
water temperature should never exceed
104¡F (40¡C). Temperatures between 100¡F
(38¡C) and 104¡F (40¡C) are considered to be
safe for healthy adults. However, if you plan
to remain in the hydrotherapy spa for more
than 10 to 15 minutes, a lower temperature is
recommended. Lower temperatures are also
recommended for children. Children should
not be allowed to swim under the surface of
the water in the spa.
22. WARNINGÑThe power cord is equipped with
a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI),
located at the end of the power cord. The
GFCI must be tested before each use. To test
the GFCI, press the ÒtestÓ button while the
spa is running. The spa should shut off.
Press the ÒresetÓ button. The spa should
resume normal operation. If the spa contin-
ues to run after the ÒtestÓ button is pressed,
then the GFCI is damaged. Do not use the
hydrotherapy spa until the GFCI has been
repaired or replaced by a qualified electri-
cian.
30. WARNINGÑTo reduce the risk of injury:
Always use an accurate thermometer to
determine the water temperature before
using the hydrotherapy spa.
23. Keep all electrical appliances such as radios,

USING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA
The hydrotherapy spa is designed to seat two adults.
The ten thera-jets can be regulated to provide a relax-
ing massage to sooth away stress, and the strength
of the water massage can be adjusted by the air con-
trol. The hydrotherapy spa holds 200 gallons of water
and offers an automatic, programmable heating (41¡F
to 104¡F) and filtration system.
TESTING AND TREATING THE WATER
The hydrotherapy spa comes with a starter chemical
pack for maintaining the water in the spa. Disregard
the directions on the individual packages of ÒQUICK
pHix It DOWNÓ and ÒQUICK pHix It UP.Ó However, the
directions on the bottles of ÒNon-chlorine ShoxÓ and
ÒBromine BaseÓ are correct. Always keep the chemi-
cals away from children and pets.
The guidelines below explain how to properly use the
hydrotherapy spa. Follow these guidelines to maintain
the hydrotherapy spa for your long-term enjoyment.
The first time you use the spa, you should test and
treat the water. You must also treat the water each
time you refill the spa. Once you have verified that
the spa is functioning properly, and the water has cir-
culated for a while, remove the spa cover and add 1/3
of the ÒBromine BaseÓ bottle, and 1/3 of the ÒNon-
chlorine ShoxÓ bottle to the water. Allow the water to
circulate for five minutes. You should now test the pH
of the water. You will need a pH test kit (not included),
which can be obtained at a pool and spa supply store.
The pH reading should be between 7.2 and 7.8.
PLUGGING IN THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA
Once the hydrotherapy spa is filled with water and
you have made sure that the cut-off valves to the
pump are open, the power cord can be plugged in
and the spa can be turned on. Note: The first time the
power cord is plugged in, the spa will turn on auto-
matically.
When connecting the power cord, plug the power cord
directly into a grounded circuit capable of carrying 15
or more amps. No other appliance should be on the
same circuit. Replace the power cord immediately if it
becomes damaged.
If the level is too low, add half of one of the ÒQUICK
pHix It UPÓ packets to the water. Let the water circu-
late through the spa for five minutes. Test the pH level
again. Repeat until the pH level is correct.
If the level is too high, add half of one of the ÒQUICK
pHix It DOWNÓ packets to the water. Let the water cir-
culate through the spa for five minutes. Test the pH
level again. Repeat until the pH level is correct.

See WATER CHEMISTRY on page 16 for information
concerning proper water maintenance.
GFCI
STARTING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA
Test and Reset
Buttons
Once you have tested the GFCI, you should verify the
water flow from the pumping unit. Set the air control
on the console to the lowest setting (see USING THE
CONSOLE on page 12). The pumping unit will heat
the water as it pumps. Cover the hydrotherapy spa
with the spa cover. The spa cover must be tight.
(See SECURING THE SPA COVER on page 13.) The
water will heat at about 1.5¡F an hour with the cover
on. If you are using the spa indoors, and the room
temperature is maintained at 70¡F, it will take approxi-
mately 24 to 26 hours for the water to reach the set
temperature.
The power cord is equipped with a Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), located at the end of the
power cord. You should always test the GFCI before
using the hydrotherapy spa.
First, turn on the hydrotherapy spa by pressing the
power button on the console. Once the unit is run-
ning, press the GFCI ÒtestÓ button. The hydrotherapy
spa should shut off. Press the ÒresetÓ button. The
hydrotherapy spa should resume normal operation. If
the hydrotherapy spa continues to run after the ÒtestÓ
button is pressed, then the GFCI is damaged. Do not
use the hydrotherapy spa until the GFCI has been
repaired or replaced by a qualified electrician.
The temperature and water flow can be set or
changed by the controls on the console (see USING
THE CONSOLE on page 12).

SPA OPERATION
The suction vents (D) located near the floor of the
spa brings the water into the pump in order to operate
the system. The suction covers should always be in
place over the suction vents. Never operate the spa
without the suction covers in place.
Refer to the diagram above. The function of each
component is explained below:
The eight uni-directional thera-jets (A) are located
on both sides of the spa. Five jets focus the water
massage on your upper or lower back. The remaining
three jets provide a foot hydro-massage for three of
the seating positions.
The filter (E) can be removed for replacement and
cleaning (see CHECKING AND CLEANING THE FIL-
TER on page 15).
The temperature probe (F) reads the current water
temperature, which is displayed on the console.
The six multi-directional thera-jets (B) can be
adjusted for a custom hydro-massage. Each thera-jet
can also be shut off by being pressed in and turned
back on by pulling the jet back out. Two of the jets are
located on the reclining seat and focus the water
massage on your lower back. Two more jets are locat-
ed on each of the bench seats, and focus the water
massage on your lower or middle back.
The DAYBREAK 515 also has a light (G) for your
safety and convenience during evening use.
Use of the Console (H) and the Diverter (I) is
explained on pages 12 and 13 of this manual.
The DAYBREAK 515 offers automatic freeze protec-
tion. If the water temperature falls below 40¡F, the
pump will begin circulating and heating the water to
prevent the water from freezing.
The spa also features an ozone jet (C) which is part
of the built-in ozone generator system. Ozone helps
sanitize your spa with minimal chemical treatment.

MAINTENANCE
The hydrotherapy spa is designed to provide you with
years of enjoyment. Please follow the guidelines
below to properly maintain your hydrotherapy spa.
MAINTAINING THE SPA COVER
The spa cover should be cleaned monthly. To clean
the spa cover, use water and a non-abrasive cleaner
on the entire cover. Rinse the cover with a garden
hose to remove any cleaner residue. Dry the cover
entirely. You should also use a non-silicone based
vinyl conditioner on the cover after you clean it. This
will help protect the cover from sun damage.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
DAILY
¥ Check the water level and refill the spa to the level
shown on page 9, step 3.
¥ Check the pH balance and sanitizer level. Adjust if
necessary (see WATER CHEMISTRY on page 16).
¥ Clean the surface of the water with a skimming net.
CHECKING AND CLEANING THE FILTER
The filter should be checked periodically for build-up
of dirt and oil. If the filter needs to be cleaned, follow
the steps below:
1. Turn off the power.
2. Unscrew the filter from the filter housing in the
spa shell and remove it from the spa.
3. Check the filter for any dirt or debris. If the filter
needs to be cleaned, rinse the filter with a hose. If
the filter still is dirty, you will need to soak it in a
cleaning solution which can be obtained from a
pool and spa supply store.
WEEKLY
¥ Clean the spa shell at the waterline.
¥ Check and thoroughly clean the filter (see CHECK-
ING AND CLEANING THE FILTER on this page).
¥ Replace the filter if needed (see ORDERING
REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover).
MONTHLY
¥ Clean the spa cover (see MAINTAINING THE SPA
COVER below).
¥ Soak the filter for two hours in a trisodium phos-
phate (TSP) solution. Rinse the filter in clean water.
¥ Replace the filter if needed (see ORDERING
REPLACEMENT PARTS on the back cover).
4. Inspect the filter for damage. Replace the filter if
there are any signs of damage.
5. Re-insert the threaded end of the cleaned filter
into the filter housing. Screw the filter into place.
EVERY THREE MONTHS
¥ Drain the spa and refill with clean water. Sanitize
and test the pH of the water.
¥ Check for any leaks around the pump or joints in
the pipes. The seals will wear out over time; detect-
ing leaks early can reduce repair costs.
¥ Clean the interior of the spa. Do not use solvents or
waxes.
REPLACING THE LIGHT BULB
If the light in the spa shell burns out, you will need to
remove the access cover to replace it (see ATTACH-
ING AND REMOVING THE ACCESS COVER on
page 16).
Locate the light housing. Turn the housing counter-
clockwise and remove it from the spa shell.
EVERY SIX MONTHS
¥ Treat the exterior with a wood sealant (see MAIN-
TAINING THE SPA EXTERIOR below).
Light Housing

MAINTAINING THE SPA EXTERIOR
The wood panel exterior has been treated with a
sealant at the factory to protect the wood from water
damage. We suggest that you treat the wood finish
twice a year with an additional coat of weather
sealant. Contact your local spa and pool supplier for
advice on which sealants work best in your climate.

Housing
CLEANING THE SPA SHELL
To replace the light bulb, pull the old bulb out of the
housing and insert a new light bulb. Re-attach the
light housing to the spa shell. Re-attach the access
cover to the spa unit.
The spa shell should be cleaned with a mild soap
solution. Do not use solvents. The spa should always
be clean and dry before being moved or stored.

SANITIZING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA
level is not properly maintained. Damage caused by
improper pH levels is not covered under the warranty.
Please refer to your local pool and spa supplier for
information concerning which chemicals you should
use in your area to sanitize the spa.
To maintain the proper pH level, you should test the
pH of the water regularly. You will need a pH test kit
(not included), which can be obtained at a pool and
spa supply store. The pH reading should be between
7.2 and 7.8. If the level is too low, add a pH increaser
(usually soda ash). If the level is too high, add a pH
reducer (usually sodium bisulfate). Test the water
again after five minutes. See the instructions with your
pH test kit for additional information about testing and
adjusting the pH.
The most common sanitizing agent is a solid bromine
concentrate. The amount required varies according to
several factors, such as user load, temperature, water
conditions, and so forth.
Proper water maintenance is a fairly complex process.
We recommend that you contact your local pool and
spa supplier for information on how you should best
accomplish this.
ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE ACCESS
COVER
WATER CHEMISTRY
To remove the access cover, remove the four access
cover screws from the access cover. Slide the access
cover down and pull the bottom of the access cover
away from the Spa Unit. Be careful not to damage
the spa shell as you remove the cover.
The hydrotherapy spa comes with a starter chemical
pack for maintaining the water in the spa. (See TEST-
ING AND TREATING THE WATER on page 10.)
Additional chemicals can be purchased at a pool and
spa supply store.
Spa
CAUTION: The chemicals used to maintain the pH
balance of the water and to sanitize the water can
be dangerous. Always follow these basic guide-
lines when handling the chemicals:
1. Always read and follow the directions on
the label, unless directed otherwise.
2. Never mix different chemicals.
3. Do not exceed the recommended amounts
of chemicalsÑfollow the directions on the
label closely.

5. Keep all containers closed tightly when
not in use.
6. Never add water to the chemicalsÑalways
add the chemicals to the water as directed.
7. Always store chemicals in a cool, dry
place.
To replace the access cover, insert the top of the
cover under the edge of the spa shell. Slide the cover
up until the bottom of the cover will clear the trim
along the bottom of the spa unit. Slide the cover into
place and re-attach the four cover screws.
MAINTAINING THE PROPER PH BALANCE
If you will be storing the spa for any period of time, a
qualified electrician will need to disconnect the power
cord from the 240 volt power source. You should
place the power cord inside the spa unit before re-
attaching the access cover.
The pH factor is a measure of relative acidity or alka-
linity in the water. It is measured on a scale of 1 to 14.
Pure water has a value of 7, which is neutral. Any
value above 7 is alkaline, and any value below 7 is
acidic. You should maintain a slightly alkaline pH
level, between 7.2 and 7.8, in the hydrotherapy spa.
DRAINING THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA
Severe problems can occur when the pH balance is
not maintained within this range. If the pH level
The hydrotherapy spa should be drained at least four
times a year and refilled with clean water. You may
need to drain the spa more often, depending on the
user load. This must be done, because after repeated
chemical treatment, the water becomes chemically
saturated. Once this happens, additional chemical
treatment of the water is no longer effective. The spa
exceeds 7.8, dissolved minerals can build-up and clog
the plumbing in the spa jet unit. If the pH level falls
below 7.2, the acid level in the water will begin to cor-
rode the metal parts in the spa jet unit. Also, the sani-
tation agents in the water will not be effective if the pH

should also be drained if you will not be using it for
long periods of time. The spa must always be drained
before major repairs are made.
To drain the pump,
remove the access
cover from the spa
unit (see ATTACHING
AND REMOVING
THE ACCESS
COVER on page 16).
Locate the pump
inside the spa unit.
Pump
The hydrotherapy spa should always be covered
when it is empty. Direct sunlight can cause exten-
sive damage. The surface of the spa shell can
reach temperatures as high as 150¡F in a matter
of minutes if exposed to the sun while it is empty.
These high temperatures can cause significant
damage, such as blistering of the shell surface
and warping of the spa shell. Any damage caused
by sun exposure is not covered under warranty.
Drain Plug
Remove the drain plug from the pump. Tip the spa jet
unit slightly, until all the water has drained from the
pump. Replace the drain plug.
OPENING AND CLOSING THE CUT-OFF VALVES
To drain the hydrotherapy spa, follow these steps:
1. Set the temperature control on the console to the
lowest setting.
2. Shut off the circuit breaker or GFCI.
3. Remove the access cover from the back of the
spa unit.
4. Remove the drainage hose from the clip and
attach a garden hose to the valve on the
drainage hose.
For minor repairs to the pump/motor, the cut-off
valves can be closed. To close the valves, remove
the access cover from the back of the spa unit.
Locate both cut-off valves. Push the handles into the
closed position and turn the handles until they lock
into place.

5. Open the valve by turning the knob counterclock-
wise. The water will begin to drain.
6. When the spa is empty, close the valve and
remove the garden hose. Return the drainage
hose to the clip and replace the access cover.
7. Refill the spa and treat the water with chemicals
(see pages 9, 10 and 16).
If you are planning to work on the pump/motor, you
will also need to drain the pump (see this page).
To open the valves, turn the handles until they are
unlocked, and pull the handles out to the open posi-
tion.
DRAINING THE PUMP
After the hydrotherapy spa is drained (see DRAINING
THE HYDROTHERAPY SPA on pages 16 and 17),
the pump in the spa jet unit should also be drained if
the hydrotherapy spa will be stored for more than thir-
ty days, or if it may be exposed to freezing tempera-
tures.

WINTER USE AND CARE
CONVERTING THE SPA TO A 240 VOLT POWER
SOURCE
The hydrotherapy spa is designed for year-round use.
If you decide to store the hydrotherapy spa for the
winter, store it in a warm, dry location. Follow the
steps below to winterize the hydrotherapy spa.
1. Drain the spa (see DRAINING THE
The hydrotherapy spa is designed to operate with
either a 120v or 240v power source. For your conve-
nience, it is shipped ready to be plugged directly into
a 120v/15 amp home outlet.
HYDROTHERAPY SPA on pages 16 and 17).
2. Remove all remaining water from the spa shell.
Dry the spa shell with towels.
3. Set the air control on the console to the lowest
setting. Use a wet/dry vacuum to pull any remain-
ing water from the system. To do this, place the
vacuum nozzle over each thera-jet, starting with
the highest jet and finishing with the lowest one.
4. Set the air control on the console to the highest
setting and repeat step 3.
5. Drain the pump (see DRAINING THE PUMP on
page 17). Once the water has drained from the
pump, place the vacuum nozzle over the
drainage hole in the pump and vacuum any addi-
tional water from the pump. Note: For additional
protection you can remove the pump/motor
from the spa to store it in a climate controlled
room.
However, you can greatly improve the performance of
the spa by converting the spaÕs power supply to
receive power from a 240v power source. If the spa is
converted, it must be wired directly into a 240v GFCI
in your home by a qualified electrician.
You will need to call our Customer Service
Department toll-free at 1-800-999-3756, Monday
through Friday, 6 a.m. until 6 p.m. Mountain Time
(excluding holidays) to receive a free instruction
guide which explains the conversion procedure.
WARNING: Only a qualified electrician should per-
form the conversion procedure.
6. Clean the spa shell (see page 15).
7. Clean the filter (see page 15).
8. A qualified electrician should disconnect the
power cord from the 240 volt power source.
9. Re-attach the access cover and re-attach the spa
cover.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
Most problems can be solved by following the simple steps below. Find the symptom that applies, and
follow the steps listed. If further assistance is needed, call our Customer Service Department toll-free at
1-800-999-3756, Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. until 6 p.m. Mountain Time.
1. SYMPTOM: THE SPA WILL NOT OPERATE
6. SYMPTOM: THE WATER DOES NOT HEAT
a. Check to see if the GFCI breaker is tripped, or
was not turned on. Reset the GFCI breaker.
a. Make sure that the hydrotherapy spa is fully
covered with the spa cover. The spa cover
must be tight for the water to heat. Set the
air control to low. Set the temperature to the
desired setting. The water will heat at 1.5¡F an
hour. If you are using the spa indoors, and the
room temperature is maintained at 70¡F, it will
take approximately 24 to 36 hours for the water
to reach the set temperature.
b. Make sure the Heater Switch (7), located on
the Control Unit (14) inside the pump compart-
ment, is in the ÒONÓ position. Note: The spa
will not operate if the Heater Switch is in the
ÒOFFÓ position.
2. SYMPTOM: THE CIRCUIT BREAKER OR THE
GFCI TRIPS WHILE THE SPA IS OPERATING
b. If you are using the hydrotherapy spa outdoors,
it may take longer for the water to heat. See
the chart below for the approximate heating
time.
a. Reset the circuit breaker or the GFCI. If the cir-
cuit breaker or the GFCI trips again, contact a
qualified electrician for service.

7. SYMPTOM: THE WATER IS NOT BEING
CLEANED BY THE FILTER
4. SYMPTOM: THE PUMP HUMS BUT DOES NOT
ROTATE
a. Check to see if the filter is in place. Clean the
filter if it is dirty.
a. The pump may be jammed. Contact our cus-
tomer service department or, if your spa is no
longer under warranty, you may also contact a
local spa and pool service provider.
b. Check the chemical balance of the water. If the
pH is incorrect, the sanitizing agents will not
function properly.
5. SYMPTOM: THE PUMP IS NOISY WHILE
OPERATING
8. SYMPTOM: THE WATER PULSATES OR
THERE IS MINIMUM WATER FLOW
a. There may be debris in the pump. Contact our
customer service department.
a. Adjust the water level. This usually occurs only
when the water level is low. Add water until the
thera-jets are covered (see step 5 on page 9).
b. The pump may have a bad bearing. Contact
our customer service department.

9. SYMPTOM: THE WATER LEVEL DROPS
10. SYMPTOM: THE SPA CONTINUES TO RUN
AFTER IT HAS BEEN SHUT OFF
a. Some water loss due to evaporation is normal.
If rapid water loss occurs, or if you notice wet-
ness on the floor around the hydrotherapy spa,
then the spa shell may have a leak. Contact
your local spa and pool service provider for
repairs.
a. To turn the spa jets on high, press the Pump
button once. To turn the spa jets on low, press
the control twice. To turn the spa jets off, press
the control three times. The spa jets will remain
off for three hours, at which time they will begin
running the filter cycle. At any time after the
spa jets has been shut off, the pump will begin
cycling the water if the temperature falls below
the minimum setting. Note: If the water is
already below the minimum setting, the
pump will not shut off.
b. A clamp or seal inside the pump compartment
may be loose. Check inside the pump compart-
ment for excess water, and watch the pump
unit while it is operating to see if water drips
from any of the plumbing. If you can identify the
location of the leak inside the spa jet unit, tight-
en the clamp or replace the damaged seal.
