Recommendations for Maintenance

Chemical Maintenance:

It is very important that you maintain the correct level of chemicals in your spa. Otherwise, you 
run the risk of damaging the jets and the heating elements, as well as encouraging cloudy water 
and skin and eye irritations. Also remember that chemical damage is not covered under warranty. 

Please refer to Chemical Safety Instructions at the back of the manual for further instructions.

Cover:

 Clean the cover with soap and water once per month to remove things like tree sap and 

dirt.

Side Panels:

 Wash the side panels periodically with water. 

Spa Shell:

 When you change the water, wipe the shell down with Fast Orange or some other 

biodegradable cleaner and rinse the shell out and drain the water out or vacuum it out of the foot 
well.

Water:

 Replace the water 2 to 6 months based on your amount of use, personal preference, or 

dealer recommendations.

To drain your spa:

 Grab the handle on the cap with pliers and pull it straight out, then turn it 

about 1/4 turn to the left and then pull it out about 3”. This will lock the tube into place so you 
can remove the cap and not lose any water.  Then attach a water hose to the tube and push the 
tube in about half way and drain the water as needed.  After finishing, simply pull the tube back 
out 1 inch, remove the hose, install the cap and push the tube back in until it stops. Then twist the 
tube to the right and push it the rest of the way back in to hide away.

Filter:

 Clean the filter once a month by backwashing with garden hose or placing it in the 

dishwasher but do not allow it to go through the drying cycle of dishwasher. Replace the filter 
once a year. 

To remove your filter: 

Never try to remove your spa filter lid, basket or cartridge while spa 

pump is running.  Turn spa breaker off.  If you have a screw filter remove the floating weir tube 
and counter clock wise unscrew the filter and remove.  If you have a drop in filter turn the 
telescopic lid counter clock wise 

¼

 turn to remove, lift out the filter basket to remove filter.   

Reverse the process for installation. If your basket and lid will not lock, your filter cartridge is 
either not sitting in the housing properly or the basket is not sitting on the filter cartridge 
properly.
