Owner’s Manual
Colored Shells: If your spa is equipped with a colored shell you must keep the spa covered when
it is empty. When the spa is empty and the cover is not in place, the spa is vulnerable to ultraviolet
light or solar damage when exposed to direct sunlight. Temperatures generated by sunlight can
become concentrated in the shell surface causing the shell material to delaminate from the
urethane backing.
Dimension One “ Envirotect” Skirts and Vinyl Covers
The Dimension One Envirotect skirts are unaffected by most corrosive substances, and will not absorb
moisture. To maintain the original finish, clean with soap and water. No sealing or painting is required. To
maintain a “nearly original” appearance we recommend applying 303 Protectant at least once a month on
the Dimension One Envirotect skirts and on the vinyl covers if they are exposed to direct sunlight. 303
Protectant is rated at 40 SPF (Sun Protection Factor).
Special Cold Weather Instructions
Slipping into your steamy water on a snowy, winter night is a refreshing experience. Many times, people who
could never imagine being outside in winter weather, find themselves spending their winter nights
doing just
that, while relaxing in their hot tub with family and friends. Therefore, the best winterizing tips of all are to
enjoy use of your system year-round
.
All systems manufactured by Dimension One Spas are designed for rigorous winter use. They are insulated to
keep operating costs down and to protect plumbing and equipment whenever the products are operational.
Each product line incorporates freeze protection mode to maintain water circulation during freezing
conditions whenever the system has proper electrical power and water level. Therefore, a fully operational
system is your number one defense against freeze damage.
If you find it completely necessary to drain your water during the winter months, in an area where freezing
conditions may exist, please adhere to all of the instructions in this section to minimize the risk of freeze
damage. Failure to complete any of the steps satisfactorily will increase the chance of freeze damage, as small
amounts of water trapped in pipes will expand as it freezes, and may result in damaged plumbing lines or
fittings.
Dimension One Spas does not recommend that you drain your system
for the winter. Freeze
damage caused by winterizing your system is specifically not covered by Your Warranty.
