Cleaning and Replacing the Filter
Filtration is one of the most important steps you can take to ensure clean, clear water. It is far less expensive
to fix water clarity problems by filtering your spa than by using excessive amounts of chemicals, excessive
filtration times, or by water replacement.
In addition, you need to regularly clean out the filter basket mounted on top of the filter well.
See the section “Filter Cleaning” on
page 21
for more information on cleaning your filter.
Covering Your Spa
Important! Keep the spa covered when not in use!
Covered spas will use less electricity in maintaining your set temperature.
•
Covering your spa will protect your spa’s finish from the sun’s ultraviolet rays.
•
You are required to keep the spa covered to maintain warranty coverage.
•
Covering your spa helps prevent children from drowning in the spa.
•
See the manual enclosed with your cover for instructions on mounting the locks and how to lock and unlock
the cover.
In addition, while the spa cover is rigid, it is not designed to support any weight. Therefore, as a safety
precaution and to preserve the life of your cover, you must not sit, stand, or lie on it, nor should you place
objects of any kind on top of it.
Cleaning Your Spa
Do not
use automotive vinyl protectants (such
as Armor All
®
) on spas. These products are gen-
erally oil-based and will cause severe water clarity
issues that are difficult to correct.
Spa Cover
Due to the constant punishment your spa cover re-
ceives, you should protect it by applying a vinyl and
leather cleaner as part of your monthly maintenance
plan.
Use a product that is specifically designed to protect
spa covers from chemical and ultraviolet light dam-
age without leaving an oily residue behind that is
normally associated with common automotive vinyl
protectants.
Spa Shell
Chemical build-up on the interior of roto mold spas is
normal, and it is much more noticeable with the two
darker toned spas (“Cinnabar“ and “Dark Twilight”)
than with the lighter toned spa (“Sahara”).
Chlorine and bromine residue dry as a white powder
on the spa shell. You can easily clean this by using a
low detergent, non-abrasive cleaner, such as Simple
Green
®,
without damaging its finish.
Each time you drain your spa, before you refill it you
should apply a coat of non-oil based surface pro-
tectant that is specifically formulated to protect the
spa’s finish from the chemicals and minerals associ
-
ated with normal spa use.
