overnight and then hose it down. Filters will last many years if properly maintained. Do not use a
broken filter, since this could lead to damages on the jets and/or heater.
Caution: Do not use high-pressure cleaners or other pressured cleaning tools to clean the filters
(filters can be damaged)
Notice: If the filters are taken out, make sure that no objects can fall into the opening, since this
could lead to damages on the jets and/or heater.
Care for wood paneling
The wood paneling hast the natural tendency to fade after some time. Every 6 months the paneling
should be painted. Grind the surface a little bit to remove any dirt and paint the surface new after-
wards. Do not use any varnish or similar products. Ideally the same color is used as the original
paintwork.
Setting of the Hydrotherapy Jets
There are 3 types of hydrotherapy jets: Moving jets, Adjustable jets and Micro jets. Moving jets
rotate in a circular or random pattern and pressure or direction are not adjustable.
Adjustable jets are directional and may be adjusted for optimum water pressures. Move the jet’s
nozzle to change direction. Rotate the face of the jet to increase or decrease water pressure. It is
possible to completely shut off a jet. Please note that if you shut off enough jets in the spa, pressure
may build up in the plumbing to unsafe levels.
Micro jets are fixed; they are neither directional nor adjustable. They are usually installed to deliver
therapy to specific areas of the body.
Moving and Adjustable jets are interchangeable. Your spa specialist will be happy to show you how
to exchange these jets.
Draining your Spa
Every 3 or 4 months or depending upon water condition, you need to renew spa water. To drain
your spa, power must be disconnected at the circuit breaker. Within the equipment access compart-
ment locate the drain faucet. Attach a garden hose to the faucet and then open it. Water will start
draining. You may use it to water your garden.
The drain faucet will not remove all the water in the spa. You may have to remove a small amount
of water by hand, using a towel or a plastic container so as not to scratch spa surfaces.
Once the spa is drained and dry, you may want to carry out other maintenance chores, such as sur-
face cleaning and waxing.
