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. 

PLEATCO DUAL CORE FILTERS 

Your hot tub/spa comes with a premium filter.  Most come with equipped 
with a Pleatco DualCore Filter, which does a better job of cleaning your 
spa water than any other filter cartridge.  The DualCore filter has two 
layers of filtration media, the outer layer and the inner layer.  Both are 
engineered to remove different particles from your water.   

 

The outer core is similar to a traditional filter which traps larger debris, 
while the inner core filters the water for particles down to 3 microns in 
size.  The inner core is easily removed and both filter media can be 
cleaned.  
 
Keeping your spa water clean and refreshing is extremely important for 
your enjoyment of your hot tub.  Our hot tubs come with only the best 
filters available in order to ensure your satisfaction.   

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 

OWNER’S MANUAL 

2017 

 

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. Stubborn 
dirt or stains may be removed by using Spic & Span adequately dis-
solved 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”. 

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. 

CABINET CARE 

Never spray cabinets with a high-pressure garden hose or pressure 
washer for any reason. This action may induce an electrical short in the 
hot tub’s electrical equipment.

 

CEDAR CABINET 

Our cedar cabinets are made from top quality Western Cedar and manu-
factured and stained at our factory. With proper care and maintenance, 
your cedar cabinet should maintain its beauty for many years. Manufac-
turer recommends touch-up or re-staining of the cabinet every three to 
four years depending on your environment. Contact your Dealer for re-
staining procedures.

 

VINYL CABINET 

Vinyl cabinets are made of a rigid polymer that combines the durability of 
plastic with the beauty of real wood. This cabinet is manufactured so that 
it won’t crack, peel, blister or delaminate even after prolonged exposure 
to the elements. We recommend wiping the cabinet with a soft damp 
cloth (or sponge) using household soap or liquid detergent and rinsing 
with fresh water thoroughly. DO NOT use abrasive cleansers or material 
as this may damage the surface.
