SWIM SPA MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
FILTER MAINTENANCE
The swim spa filter is one of the most important maintenance
items of a spa. The filter is there to remove debris from the
water and needs to be cleaned on a regular basis. Failure to do
so may result in poor performance, poor water clarity and could
prevent the spa from heating. Filtration starts as soon as flow is
steady through the filter. As the filter cartridge removes the
debris from the spa water, the accumulated debris causes flow
resistance.
CLEANING AND REPLACING FILTER CARTRIDGE
Your swim spa filter has been designed for quick and easy
maintenance. The filter cartridge should be rinsed by hose
once a week and cleaned with a cartridge cleaner once a
month. A second filter cartridge is recommended and will
speed up this process. This can be purchased from your local
dealer.
TOP LOAD FILTERS

Turn power OFF at the breaker.

Loosen air relief valve, then remove retainer ring.

Pull filter lid straight up to remove.

Do not twist or pull the filter lid up on an angle. This could
cause damage to the filter canister, especially in freezing
conditions.
