Definition
Air Relief Valve
Used for purging air from the filter system whenever servicing the
filter, during initial startup, and whenever you drain and fill the
Aquatic Fitness System.
Air Volume Controls
Increase or decrease the amount of air drawn through the jets. The
intensity of jet action is varied by adjusting the amount of air mixed
with the water forced through the jets. More air produces a more
vigorous massage. Since air bubbles tend to cool the Aquatic
Fitness System, the air controls should be closed while the
Aquatic Fitness System is heating.
Bleeder Valve
A small valve used to relieve or expel air from the Aquatic Fitness
System’s plumbing or pump.
Circulation Pump
A pump that circulates the water in the Aquatic Fitness System
continuously.
Diverter Valve
Allows you to select either the therapy jets or swim jets with pump
number 1. Simply turn the valve to the desired position.
Dry Firing
Turning the heater element on when there is no water in the
heater.
Equipment Access Panel
Provides access to your Aquatic Fitness System’s equipment for
a qualified service technician.
Equipment Control System
The electronic control system that governs all of the electrically
operated components of your Aquatic Fitness System utilizes an
advanced microprocessor and solid-state electronic switches to
activate all user and maintenance options.
Filter Cartridge
Your Aquatic Fitness System’s filters have been designed so that
you may repeatedly clean and maintain the filter cartridge as needed.
The cartridge is constructed of woven polyester rather than paper
to ensure long life and proper filtration.
Filter Housing
The filter canister that houses the filter cartridge. It encloses your
Aquatic Fitness System’s cartridge filter element. This filter
cartridge removes dirt, oil and fine particles from your Aquatic
Fitness System’s water. The lock ring holding the filter cover in
place and the air relief valve in the filter cover must be on and
closed when the Aquatic Fitness System is running. DO NOT
OVER-TIGHTEN THE LOCK RING OR THE AIR RELIEF VALVE.
Also do not open filter housing while the Aquatic Fitness System
is running as the filter is under pressure.
Gfci-Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter
A type of Circuit Breaker that automatically disconnects power to
the Aquatic Fitness System when there is an electrical power
leakage to ground.
Gravity Drain Valve
Used to drain your Aquatic Fitness System.
Halogens
Free chlorine, bromine or iodine ions that are very strong oxidizers
used to sanitize water.
