MAINTENANCE
Vinyl Care
– Interior
1.
Empty the spa and refill with clean
water every 3 months or when it
becomes cloudy and proper water
chemistry does not clear it up.
2.
While empty, use a mild soap
solution to wipe away any soil or
stains on the inner liner. Rinse
thoroughly before refilling the tub. Do
not use
cleaning aids such as steel wool,
steel brushes or abrasive cleaners
such as steel wool, steel bristle
brushes or abrasive cleaners such
as Comet or
Ajax.
3.
Remove and clean your filter twice
a month or more often if necessary.
4.
REPAIR: If your liner does get a
tear or puncture, your dealer can
provide you with patching material.
Patch kits are also available through
any local hardware store. A secure,
unnoticeable
repair can usually be made.
Vinyl Care
– Exterior
The exterior of the spa as well as the
thermal top is made to resist mildew
and discoloration.
1.
Cleaning: Use a mild soap and
water solution to wash the exterior
vinyl, then rinse with clean water.
Avoid abrasive soaps or tools or any
other solvents.
2.
Repair: The vinyl can be repaired
using standard vinyl repair
techniques. Pieces of material can
be obtained through your dealer.

Recommended Chemical
Balances
PH: 7.4 - 7.6
Total alkalinity: 80 - 120 ppm
Calcium hardness: 150 - 250 ppm
Bromine residual: 2 - 3 ppm
Total dissolved solids below 1,500
ppm
Purchase a test kit from your dealer
and test you water chemistry after
each use of the spa, but no less than
once per week.
Avoid a low pH, as
this will cause unsightly wrinkles
to form in the liner, damage to the
heater and void the warranty.
If a bromine feeder is used that
requires holes to be punched in, start
with one hole punched at the top of
the feeder and one hole punched at
the bottom.
Place in the spa water and retest
water after 2 days. If the bromine
level has not increased to the ideal
3-5 ppm range, punch another hole
in the bottom of the feeder and retest
after another 2 days.
Avoid punching too many holes in
the feeder as this could cause over
bromination, which could bleach
out the liner and void the warranty.
If the bromine level in the spa
reaches 5 ppm or higher, remove
