1. Turn the power to the spa OFF, then proceed as follows:
2. Push down slightly and turn filter basket counterclockwise to unlock, then pull the basket and

weir out.

3. Carefully pull up the filter cartridge and bring it out of the spa.
4. Rinse cartridge using a garden hose. Rotate and separate filter pleats while spraying water to

remove all debris possible. Let the filter dry and then look for calcium deposits (scaling) or an oil

film. If you find these, you will need to deep clean your filter cartridge with a “spa filter cleaning”

solution to break down and remove mineral deposits and oils.

5. Install filter then replace basket and weir by inserting and rotating clockwise to lock into position.

CARE OF ThE SPA PIllOwS

Spa pillows will provide years of comfort if treated with care. They have been positioned above the

water level to minimize the bleaching effects of chlorinated water and other spa water chemicals. To

extend their life, whenever the spa shell is being cleaned, the spa pillows should be removed and

cleaned. Body oils can be removed with a mild soap and water solution. ALWAYS rinse off the spa pillows thoroughly to remove any soap residue. If the spa is not going

to be used for a long period of time (that is during a vacation or if the spa is winterized), or when the spa water is being super-chlorinated, the spa pillows should be

removed until the next use of the spa.

To remove and replace the spa pillows:

1. Carefully lift one end of the pillow away from the spa shell.
2. Continue lifting one end until all pillow retainers are released from the pillow

IMPOrTaNT

: Just pulling the pillow straight up and out of the shell recess will eventually damage the pillow. This abuse is not covered under warranty

3. To reinstall the spa pillow, carefully bend the pillow slightly to allow one of the pillow retainers to slip into the recess in the back of the pillow.

4. Keeping the pillow slightly bent, slide the other pillow retainer into the recess in the back of the pillow.
5. After all the pillow retainers are in place, press the pillow down into the recess in the spa shell.

CARE OF ThE EXTERIOR

SPA ShEll

Stains and dirt generally will not adhere to your spa’s surface. A soft rag or a nylon scrubber should easily remove most dirt. Always use a soft, non-abrasive solution

(such as baking soda and water mix). Never use cleaners with harsh chemicals or acids, such as citrus, alcohol, or ammonia. Damage to your spa shell can occur. Always

thoroughly rinse off any spa shell cleaning agent with fresh water.

SerVICe NOTeS:

1. Iron and copper in the water can stain the spa shell if allowed to go unchecked. Watkins recommends using

MONarCH

Stain/Scale if your spa water has a high

concentration of dissolved minerals.

2. The use of alcohol or any household cleaners other than those listed to clean the spa shell surface is NOT recommended, Watkins recommends the use of

MONarCH

Spa Shine. DO NOT use any cleaning products containing abrasives or solvents since they may damage the shell surface.

NeVer USe HarSH
