Bullfrog Spas Owner’s Manual

deposits (a white chalky material) soak cartridge(s) in a

one part muriatic acid to ten parts water solution. USE

A PLASTIC CONTAINER ONLY. Calcium deposits indicate

a high spa pH, which should be corrected.

5. CAUTION: Using a brush to clean a cartridge could

damage it. Bullfrog’s SpinClean™ filter cartridge

cleaners may be used and can be obtained from your

authorized Bullfrog Portable Spa Dealer.

6. Reinstall cartridge(s), basket and skimmer face-plate.

7. Press any button on the control pad to reset the

control system.

LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT

To replace a burned out or defective light bulb,

complete the following steps:
1. Disconnect electrical power supply.
2. Remove the door to the Equipment Compartment.
3. Locate the back of the Spa Light Fixture (Fig. X).
4. Grasp the light bulb holder located on the back of

the Spa Light Fixture. Twist counter-clockwise to release

it from Spa Light Fixture. Pull light bulb holder out of

Spa Light Fixture.
5. Replace light bulb and reinstall light bulb holder into

Spa Light Fixture.
6. Replace door to Equipment Compartment and restore

the electrical power supply.

Note:

For alternate lighting systems contact your

authorized Bullfrog Spa Dealer for service.

OZONE STERILIZER REPLACEMENT

On the front of your Bullfrog Ozone Sterilizer (optional)

is an ozone indicator light (the Ozone Sterilzer is

located in the equipment compartment). This indicator

light will glow whenever ozone is being produced.
To verify that your Ozone Sterilizer is working properly,

check the indicator light when the filter pump is

running and only during a preprogrammed filter cycle,

making sure that the indicator light glows (do not check

the indicator light if you have activated the jets within

the previous 30 minutes - as a safety device, your

Ozone Sterilizer shuts down for 30 minutes after the

“Jets” button has been pressed).
If the indicator light does not glow when the filter pump

is running then your Sterilizer is not working properly.

When this occurs, take the following steps:
1. Disconnect electrical power supply.
2. Locate the Ozone Sterilizer (Fig. Y).
3. Unplug the Ozone Sterilizer's power supply cord from

your spa's Control Center.
4. Disconnect the output tubing from the Ozone

Sterilizer.
5. Remove the mounting screws that hold the Ozone

Sterilizer in place.
