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.
