Thermal Spa Cover 

It is important that you properly care for your spa cover.  Do not sit or stand on the cover, as it 
will  break.   Do not  let  snow  build  up  on  your cover.    Lock-down  tabs  are  included  with your 
cover  and  should  be  used  to  prevent  access  to  the  spa  by  children.    If  your  spa  is  located 
outdoors, it is important that you use the tie down tabs to prevent the wind from lifting the cover 
off  your  spa.    Periodically  clean  your  cover  as  described  in  the  maintenance  and  cleaning 
instructions provided with the cover.  When handling your cover, take care not to drag it over 
rough surfaces that will scuff or tear the fabric.   
 
 

Cabinet Care 
The synthetic wood cabinets are maintenance free products, and the only cleaning they require is the rinsing off of debris that has 

collected on the surface.  To remove, simply rinse with water or lightly wash with mild soap and water.  Do not use any chemicals 
since these may etch the surface. 

 
 
 

WINTERIZING 

 

If you live in an area where the danger of freezing exists, you must take extra precautions to insure that your spa will operate properly.  
If you plan to operate your spa throughout the winter, be sure that the thermostat is set to keep the water warm.  If you intend on 
closing down your spa for the winter, you should follow the winterizing procedures listed below: 
1.  Drain the spa as explained in the "Draining Your Spa" section. 
2.  Be sure that all water is removed from the spa. 
3.  Shut off all electrical power at the breaker box. 
4.  Disconnect the unions from the equipment module to allow the water in the spa lines and equipment module to drain.  
5.  Remove the drain plug(s) on the pump housing to allow water to drain out of the pump.  Replace the drain plug. 
6.  Remove the filter element from the filter housing and see that the filter housing is dry.   If water is left in the filter housing it will 

freeze and cause the housing to crack. 

7.  Using a wet/dry shop vacuum, vacuum out each of the lines at the point where you disconnected the unions from the equipment 

module.  Also, put the vacuum hose up against the face of each jet opening to vacuum out any water remaining in their supply 
lines. 

8.  Cover your spa with your spa cover and be sure it is locked in place. 

 
WARNING:  Failure  to  maintain  the  proper  chemical  levels  or  properly  winterize  your  spa  may  cause  extensive  damage  to 
components.  Damage to components or the spa shell itself resulting from improper chemical maintenance or improper winterization 
will NOT be covered under warranty.
