Hot tub maintenance is pretty easy. The key to a long-lasting and enjoyable hot tub is the regular application of some essential items according to a schedule.
To keep your hot tub looking and feeling its best:

The fastest and easiest method to drain a hot tub or spa is to use a sump pump and a hose.
Alternatively, you can drain the water from your hot tub via the drain outlet. In this case, be sure to do so in accordance with environmental standards.
To drain your spa via the drain outlet, follow these steps:
1. Find the drainage port and unscrew the cap.
2. Screw on the metric intermediate piece that came with the spa.
3. Twist the larger receiving part counterclockwise as much as possible.
4. Pull the receiving part towards you. This will draw water through the port and drain the spa.
5. After the spa is completely drained, remove the metric intermediate piece, and reapply the cap.
Choose a sturdy, level spot for the hot tub with easy maintenance and repair access in mind. Make sure there’s enough space around the tub’s perimeter for people to comfortably move around and access the equipment.
If you’re thinking about placing your hot tub indoors, choose a flooring material that will allow water to run off effectively, and include a floor drain to avoid any potential damage from overflow, overfilling, or technical failure.
To install your hot tub outdoors, you need a strong horizontal foundation. We advise consulting a qualified professional like a building contractor or structural engineer to help you determine if the foundation can hold the weight of your full spa (water and occupants). See the question below “How do I prepare my spot for delivery?” for more information on foundations.
Limit your spa’s exposure to direct sunlight so as to preserve the acrylic surface and machinery.
Wellis hot tubs require a dedicated 220V/50A service line. Swim Spas require 240V and draw between 53A and 60A.
For liability reasons, Wellis New England does NOT do any electrical wiring. However, we’re happy to recommend an electrician for you if needed. In any case, we provide a comprehensive list of electrical parameters your spa setup must adhere to upon purchase.
Connect your Home Transmitter to your router. Then, you can download the in.touch 2 app to your mobile device and control your spa remotely.
To use your in.touch 2 app, go to the WiFi settings on your mobile device and select the same WiFi network that your spa’s Home Transmitter is connected to. Once your device confirms the connection, you can control your spa from anywhere in the world with a reliable internet connection or cellular network.
A durable base is the most important preparatory element you need to add to your spa environment. Acceptable bases include spa pads, pavers, and blue stone provided they lay flat. Our top recommendation is to construct your base with a 4”-6” thick concrete slab that measures at least 10’ x 10’.
Also, be sure that all four sides of the hot tub are easily accessible for proper maintenance and service.
FROG @ease system is a unique floating spa sanitizing system into which you insert the FROG @ease SmartChlor Cartridge. Once your spa is filled with fresh water, balance the water according to the water balance guidelines. Then, assemble the cartridges and the floating system according to the packaging instructions. Toss the assembled unit into the hot tub water. It will float at a slight tilt as the chemicals diffuse into the water.
At Wellis New England, we love the @ease system because it makes water care so easy! The FROG slowly distributes chlorine to your tub all month long, so you don’t have to manually add powder chlorine every other day. When the floating system does happen to need your attention, it makes you aware by flipping itself upside down. The silver chlorine pack lasts about 3-4 weeks, and the blue mineral pack lasts about 3-4 months, depending on your spa gallonage.
Depending on the model, Wellis Spas are operated through one of three control panels to navigate your spa’s main functions:

Choose from five different settings that each utilize a unique level of automated, cycled filtration to assist in your water care practices.
