MAINTENANCE
Water Level/Drain
The water level in the spa must be maintained at its
normal level. Evaporation and splashing will cause the
water level to drop.
When concentrations of impurities from evaporation,
water quality chemicals, body oils, perfumes, dirty feet,
wind, etc., accumulate in the spa and cannot be filtered out,
it is necessary to drain your spa and refill it with fresh water.
This should be done every 2 months or more often depend-
ing on the amount of use.
To drain the spa, turn all controls to OFF, then turn off
circuit breakers at the main electrical panel. Remove the
plug from the suction plumbing. You may at this time,
choose to install a hose bibb or permanently plumb in a
drain line and valve to a sanitary line. If you have installed
a hose bibb, connect a garden hose to the drain valve. Turn
the handle and drain the spa.
After draining the spa, clean the spa shell and the suction
strainer and refill the spa with fresh water; then check the
pH level and maintain water quality.
WARNING: Remove the suction strainer only for clean-
ing. The strainer is a safety device and must be in place
over the suction fitting to minimize potential hazard of
hair and body entrapment.
If heavy rains raise the spa water level, drain the spa to
its normal level.
A spa cover (available as an option), when in place over
the spa, will help reduce evaporation and control the
amount of debris entering the spa when the spa is not
occupied. In addition, its use will reduce energy
consumption.
Suction Strainer Maintenance
The suction strainer is located in the foot well area of the
spa which can be pulled off easily for access to the suction
strainer. The strainer should be checked at least once a
week for collected debris, such as leaves, hair, etc., and
cleaned as necessary. Remove the center screw with a
Phillips screwdriver and clean the strainer by flushing with
water from a hose.
