Maintaining Spa Water Quality
The manufacturer does hereby claim
no responsibility or liability for use of
and quantities of the chemicals used.
Read and follow all label instructions.
Do not use third-party salt-based systems
in your spa! Damage caused by salt-based
sys-tems that have not been factory
installed will not be covered under your
warranty.
Filtration
Cleaning your filter regularly is the easiest and most
effective single thing you can do to keep your water
clear. A clogged or dirty filter will cause the heater
and pump to work harder than they need to, possi-
bly causing them to fail. The spa’s heating system will
only function with the proper amount of water flow
through the system.
Filter Cleaning
The filter is the part of your spa that removes the
debris from the water and needs to be cleaned on a
regular basis to maximize your spa’s filtering per-
formance and heating efficiency.
In addition to spraying off the filter weekly to re-
move surface debris, your filter should be deep
cleaned periodically to dissolve scale and particles
that get lodged deep within the filter fibers and im-
pede the filtration process. Even if the filter looks
clean, scale and particles can clog the fibers and
prevent water from flowing through the filter
resulting in the most common spa problem – no
heat, caused by a dirty filter.
We recommend you clean your filter once a month
and replace it once every 6 months or as necessary.
- Remove the filter with the spa off.
- Place the dirty filter into a bucket of water deep
enough to cover the filter. Add 8 oz of liquid filter
cleaner to the bucket of water.
- Soak the filter for a minimum of 24 hours.
- Spray pleats of the filter with a water hose.
- Reinstall the filter.
Tip:
Keep a spare filter to use in the spa while the
dirty filter is being deep cleaned.
