F.A.Q.

Facility

What are the installation requirements for a Spa?

Installation requirements depend on the type of Spa you have purchased. We have two large groups of Spas depending on their installation:

  1. SPAS WITHOUT EXTERNAL FILTRATION EQUIPMENT: the Spas belonging to this family are those from the EXCLUSIVE, PREMIUM, AQUALIFE AND SWIMSPA ranges. The Spas in this family are Spas designed to be installed on the floor of your terrace, living room or garden. They require a level floor, a drainage point, a water filling point, as well as an electrical outlet suitable for the Spa's consumption. If you install the Spa on a terrace, remember to request a report on the resistance of the floor: a Spa can accumulate more than 1,500 kg on a surface of 4 m2.
  2. SPAS WITH EXTERNAL FILTRATION EQUIPMENT: this group includes the Spas of the INGROUND and PROFESSIONAL ranges. The Spas of this family mainly require a level floor, a drainage point, as well as an electrical installation to be able to connect the Spa. It is necessary to contact your installer to be able to assess the project and analyse the needs according to your equipment.
    Please refer to the product installation manual for more information or contact your point of sale.

It is very important to level the ground on which the Spa is going to be installed. Remember that once installed, you will fill it with water and the level will depend on whether the ground has been leveled.

I want to install my Spa outside, is that possible?

Aquavia Spa Spas have been designed for both indoor and outdoor installation. You must take care of the Spa if it is installed outdoors; remember that prolonged exposure to the sun can damage the surface of your Spa, as well as its accessories.

  • A hot tub partially or completely covered by constructions such as decking.
  • A hot tub buried or semi-buried in the ground.
  • Materials in contact with the base of the hot tub (such as stones, wood, artificial grass) that are directly on the ground and block necessary ventilation.

How can I empty my Spa?

All residential spas have a drainage system located at the bottom of the spa. A valve can be used to drain the spa at any time. It is advisable to provide a drain in the spa area to prevent water from accumulating around it and thus avoid dangerous areas for bathers to access.

How can I access the inside of the Spa to connect it?

All flat panels of the Spa are accessible. There are two fixing systems: one with screws that hold the panel and another without screws that is held in place by a dual lock system (velcro). Remove the panel and you will easily access the inside of the Spa for any type of maintenance or installation.

How much will my Spa consume?

The consumption of your Aquavia Spa will depend on the configuration you choose. Our hot tubs are designed at the factory to ensure that the maximum consumption does not exceed 3.5 kW. However, for the Premium range and swimspas , consumption can reach up to 6 kW on certain models. For specific details on consumption, please refer to the technical sheets for each hot tub .

Is it necessary to start up the Spa?

It is highly recommended to have the product started up by one of our official technical services. Not only will they check the correct operation of the Spa, but they will also receive explanations about the functions and maintenance of your equipment.

How can I fill my Spa?

The Spa does not have a specific filling system. It is recommended to use a manual filling system with a garden hose or similar.

In our Spas there are valves in the flange that serve to mix the atmospheric air with the water pumped by the massage pumps, where by the Venturi effect the air will be sucked in, mixing with the water and obtaining a much more pleasant massage.

The Spa turns off every 15 minutes, should I be worried?

Normal temperature is 36.5ºC. It is not advisable to extend the bath for more than 15 minutes. This is why our equipment automatically stops 15 minutes after the massage has started.

You can choose between one or two filter cycles, depending on your specific needs. For normal use, it is recommended to schedule a filtration of 2 to 3 hours per cycle. For more details, please refer to your hot tub 's user manual.

In which cases is it not advisable to use the Spa?

It is not advisable for pregnant women, people with high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes or those taking medication to use the Spa.

How can I change the color of the Spa LED?

My Spa has an Ozone disinfection system. Is it necessary to add another type of chemical product?

Aquavia Spa hot tubs are equipped with two automatic disinfection systems: Clean Water (ozone system) and Ultraviolet Treatment (UV system). These systems work in conjunction with the Water Disinfection Kit to complement and improve water quality. They do not replace chemicals, but rather optimize the disinfection process, ensuring a cleaner and more pleasant experience in your hot tub .

In the case of swimspas , all include an automatic disinfection system that combines ozone and UV, known as WaveOzone Combo.

One of the massage points has no flow.

Some jets can also regulate the flow rate by turning the water flow on and off. Turn the jet clockwise to open the jet.

Can I put soap in the Spa water?

No. Please remember that your hot tub is equipped with a water pump system. Mixing soap or salts into the water will not only deteriorate its quality, but will also cause excessive foam build-up.

Some models include a special valve for adding aromatherapy beads, allowing you to enjoy an aromatic experience during your bath.

Why does my Spa turn on automatically?

The hot tub has a pre-configured filtration system that requires water to be filtered twice a day. This is essential to maintain water quality and prevent stagnation.

SET THE TIME or error 40 appears on my hot tub . What should I do?

The “Set the time” message on your hot tub appears because every time the equipment is restarted, the hot tub time needs to be set. However, the filter cycles are kept in memory and do not need to be reprogrammed.

Error 38 appears on my hot tub . What should I do?

In the low utilization operating state (rest mode), error 38 may appear. This occurs because the equipment requires a massage pump to be activated to recirculate the water.

What should I do if my hot tub has a defect or I have an incident?

To resolve any issues, please contact the dealer who sold you the hot tub or the nearest distributor. They will coordinate with our after-sales service for a quick solution. Please be sure to provide the equipment serial number (SN) whenever you request technical assistance. You can find the SN of your hot tub in the video below:

Why are my hot tub jets not working?

If your hot tub 's jets are turning on and off intermittently, the first step is to check the water level, as it may be insufficient. Make sure the water level is at the optimal level, you will find an indicative label next to your hot tub 's filter.

resistance and the filtration pump will automatically connect to prevent freezing of the
water and the damage this could cause to your Spa.

Why is my hot tub not working after I drain and refill it?

If your hot tub 's pumps or jets are not working after refilling, there is probably an air bubble in the pumps. To avoid this problem, we strongly recommend filling your hot tub by placing the hose directly into the filter compartment.

Why are my hot tub cushions deteriorating?

Deterioration of headrests can be intensified by excessive use of chemicals and insufficient ventilation after shock treatments. To prevent your hot tub cushions from deteriorating, it is recommended to remove them during and after performing shock treatments on the hot tub water.

Additionally, it is beneficial to open the hot tub cover for a few minutes a couple of times a week, even when the hot tub is not being used or is being used minimally, to allow any gases built up under the cover to dissipate.

We also recommend cleaning the headrests regularly with water, neutral soap and a clean cloth.

How can I prevent a yellow water line from forming in my hot tub ?

During regular use of your hot tub , residue from oils, lotions, and hair products can build up on the water surface, potentially causing a yellow water line to appear inside hot tub . This residue can easily be removed with a hot tubs surface cleaner or similar product. It is important to avoid abrasive cleaning products that can leave soap residue in the water.
