PRODUCT & CARE GUIDE 

Your Authorized Dealer carries a wide variety of care and maintenance 
products. For more information please contact your Dealer.

 

REQUIRED FILTER MAINTENANCE 

Your new hot tub is equipped with a filter cartridge. To ensure maximum 
water quality at all times, you should replace the filter cartridge every six 
months, or earlier as necessary. The filter cartridge is designed to be 
thrown away! Attempts to re-use the filter cartridge may result in the re-
release of unwanted particles back into the hot tub. 

REQUIRED WATER REPLACEMENT 

You should replace the hot tub’s water every 3-6 months. The frequency 
will depend on a number of variables including frequency of use, number 
of bathers and attention paid to the water quality maintenance. You will 
know it is time for a change when you can no longer get the normal feel 
or sparkle to the water, even though the key water balance measure-
ments are all within the recommended ranges. 

HEADREST / PILLOW CARE 

The pillows can be removed for easy cleaning and maintenance. All 
pillows have plugs within the pillow itself. To remove the pillow, grab the 
bottom edge firmly and pull outward. This will allow the pillows to pop-
out from the receptacle in the spa shell. To reinstall the pillow you will 
align the pillow plug with the receptacle. Press/hit the front side of the 
pillow firmly, which will insert the plug back into the receptacle. 

 

Proper water chemistry must be maintained. Your hot tub pillows are 

easily and quickly damaged when exposed to unbalanced spa water.  

If 

you suspect that your chemicals may be unbalanced, remove your pillows 

immediately until the water has been restored to suggested conditions. 

 

Do not sit on the pillows 

 

Do not pull on the pillows 

 

Pillows should be cleaned using a soft cloth and mild soap, then wiped with a 

conditioner. We recommend that pillows be washed each time you drain you 

spa. 

HOT TUB INTERIOR 

Your hot tub has a fiberglass reinforced acrylic shell. Generally dirt and 
stains will not adhere to the surface. To properly clean the surface, we 
recommend wiping it with a soft damp cloth (or sponge) using household 
soap or liquid detergent and rinsing thoroughly with fresh water. Stub-
born dirt or stains may be removed by using Spic & Span adequately 
dissolved in water.  Contact your dealer and inquire about maintenance 
packages. 

 
DO NOT 

use any cleaning products containing abrasives or solvents, 

since these could damage the surface. Harsh chemicals should never be 
used on acrylic surfaces. Damage to the shell due to the use of harsh 
chemicals is not covered under the warranty. 
 

DO NOT 

leave your hot tub drained and in direct sunlight for extended 

periods of time. Extreme heat could cause damage to the acrylic surface 
and may induce an effect known as “crazing”. 

OWNER’S MANUAL 

2017 

STAINLESS STEEL CONTROLS AND COMPONENTS ABOVE THE 
WATER LINE 

To preserve the stainless steel finish of the controls and components 
above the water line, we recommend they be wiped with a dry soft  cloth 
after each use of your hot tub.  In addition, off-gas your tub by removing 
the cover for approximately 30 minutes multiple times per week (if not in 
use) and after every shock treatment. 

COVER CARE 

A well cared for spa cover is a thing of beauty in its own right. Be sure to 
clean and condition your cover at least once a month – more often if 
needed. Your cover needs to be cleaned and conditioned because vinyl 
can be dry and become brittle, spoiling your spa’s appearance. Dry, brit-
tle vinyl can also tear at the seams and stress points. Quality materials, 
internal sewn reinforcing and careful workmanship can only go so far 
against the ravages of Mother Nature. See the specific Warranty card 
enclosed with your cover for further details. 

 

When you shock your spa you need to remove the cover for a minimum of 30 

minutes to ensure that the chemical gas off can escape from the spa. 

 

You are required to keep the spa covered at all time when not in use to protect 

the shell from harmful UV rays. 

 

A covered spa will use less electricity when maintaining the desired water tem-

perature 

 

See the manual that comes with the cover for proper mounting of the cover 

locks 

 

The cover should remain locked at all times to prevent unauthorized entry into 

the spa and potential drowning. 

 

Do not Sit, Stand or Lie on your cover. Nor should you place any heavy object 

on top of the cover as this may damage the structure. 

VERY IMPORTANT: 

We recommend a vinyl conditioner for your spa 

cover. Your local dealer carries a wide variety of care and maintenance 
products. Choose a pleasant day each month to remove your cover from 
the spa and lay it on a flat surface accessible by garden hose. Douse the 
cover with a healthy amount of water from the hose or a bucket to rinse 
away loose dirt or debris. Using a soft bristle brush and a mild solution of 
dishwashing liquid (about one teaspoon of  detergent to two gallons of 
water), and with a gentle circular motion, scrub the cover clean. Be care-
ful not to let any areas of the cover dry before they’re thoroughly rinsed. 
Now apply the vinyl conditioner as directed on the container. Massage 
the conditioner into the cover in a gentle but firm manner. Before replac-
ing the cover on your spa, wipe and rinse any dirt from the bottom of the 
cover. When you are ready, put the cover on the spa. 
 

NOTE: 

To remove tree sap, use lighter fluid (not charcoal lighter but the 

fluid used in cigarette lighters). Use sparingly, then immediately apply 
conditioner to that area.
