Compatibility

When To Use This
Pro Tip
Always insert your garden hose directly into the filter well when filling the 409 Gallons capacity; filling through the filter housing primes the internal plumbing lines and prevents air locks in the 2.5HP pump wet end on initial startup.
Common Questions & Instructions
What electrical requirements are needed to run the Garden Leisure 696L hot tub?
The spa requires a dedicated 230v hardwired electrical service, typically wired with a 50-amp or 60-amp GFCI breaker to power both the 2.5HP continuous duty pump, 4.0HP breakdown torque secondary pump, and the heater simultaneously.
What type of foundation is required for the Garden Leisure 696L?
With a dry weight of 932 lbs and an operating weight of 5,430 lbs holding 409 Gallons of water plus bathers, the spa must sit on a completely flat, level 4-inch reinforced concrete slab or an engineered deck rated for heavy structural loads.
How does the built-in ozone system maintain water clarity in the 696L?
The factory ozone system injects active ozone into the return circulation line, neutralizing micro-contaminants and organic compounds on contact before water re-enters the primary seating area.
